Greeting to all Sifus,Im new UDM owner from B.Baru Bangi, Black E46 325i 2002.Nothing much to say as introduction, looking for information & advise from sifus about our UDM.Just recover from major breakdown that cost me RM8,000.00 :(fadzli@lobo.
 
Share the story/ experiance 1st time owned BMW.

Problem facing when i want to go back to kelantan (my mertua house).
Normal driving max 60-100km/h. unless outstation.

Lepas keluar jer tol gombak, terus tekan. Masa kat lebuhraya karak tu lah, sedap sangat layan (henjut 160-170km/h - lupa diri jap). :) until selepas petronas slow down the car to normal driving style. Lepas tu bila tekan balik ada rasa macam (jerking/henjut2/tersekat-sekat- orang terengganu kata"sedduk-sedduk"). Hahaha.. problem coming!!

Tekan minyak jer "sedduk", at that time drive at 60km/h until a sound of air blow come out (very loud sound- "pschesss" macam bunyi engin jet kot). Then i slow down at 40km/h... the car running well cuma bila jalan naik bukit sikit, the air sound blow again. Gabra jugak!!

I tought the cable plug rosak so one of the silinder gone, so thinking of looking for workshop after out from tol bentong. Pusing-pusing kat bandar bentong, x jumpa workshop yang rasa2 confident boleh repair BMW. so Find a good parking place and turn off the car engine.. turn on again, engin start well like normal, no idling, temperature are maintain. No sound of air blow when i ram the gas. That time dah maghrib so terpaksa cancel trip and back to bangi... i manage to drive slow 40km/h to bangi.

Took me 4 hours!! from bentong to bangi. :). Driving 40km/h with the loud air blow sound especially bila jalan naik bukit. Luckily my engine temperature maintained.

The biggest problem facing on the morning next day, i bring the car to one of the workshop at bangi. the pomen test the car checking the problem... Driving at 60km/h.. No symptom of problem come out like yesterday.. tekan to 80-90km/h still ok. Then i ask my pomen go to highway.. go to putrajaya... tekan 110-120km/h, then the air blow sound together with the big amount of SMOKE blow out from the eksoz. After that, we straight went back to workshop, park the car and there is a smoke come out from the engine hood while engine still running. THE OIL ENGINE LEAK FROM BELOW of the engine causes the smoke bila kena exhaust. ( i think because of the temperature or hot air inside engine. so it blows at the weak point). MOney..Money Money laaa...nampaknyer!!

So, bila dah macam tu... macam macam laa kasi repair satu kali (termasuk yang lain2 yang x berkaitan dengan engine).
Engine Oil/Oil Filter/Plug/Engine oil pan gasket/Sucking jet pump/ air hose/Cylinder Head Gasket & Bush/Pressure regulating Valve/return pipe/ATF oil & Filter/Flywheel oil seal/ Top conventor oil seal/Gearbox oil sum gasket/auto clutch plate/flyber bush(auto gearbox)/repair oil pump auto gearbox/ rear Exhaust mounting/etc..

So kenaaa RM 8,000.00. :( .

Sekarang nie.. My E46 325i,
1- bunyi loud air blow dah xde..tapi sometime "sedduk-sedduk" tu masih datang balik especially driving slow. Dont know what cause.

2- And facing new aircond sound pulak bila bukak aircond and water kadang-kadang leaking inside the cabin.. especially bila cornering. (passanger side).
SIFUS.. please help!!any workshop recommendation?
 
water entering the cabin ...ummm read it sometime ago somewhere in this forum ...try searching for it ..it's quite a common problem for the e46 ...

as for workshop recommendation : as for bangi / kajang -- none that i've found good ...the one in phasa 4 tambahan used to be highly recommended , but you may try at your own risk ..., the ones in kajang utama , MAN PRO and Yang2 -- hopeless ...

so the only nearest one is OLD klang road , KL or PJ ...

anyway welcome to bmwclubmalaysia ....and as 8K ...kindda high ...


.1- bunyi loud air blow dah xde..tapi sometime "sedduk-sedduk" tu masih datang balik especially driving slow. Dont know what cause. ---- since you've spent soo much on this matter , why don't you take it back to where the work has been done ..ask them to rectify it ...
