[tcl]

hi mileage cars in excess of 200k km will consume oil.driving the car hard does the same.but you shud note that the oil level must be chk'd with the engine cold,in the mornings b4 first start of the day.

for the coolant,in a perfect system,shud not require any top up.my kanchil went 3 years without ever needing any top up.not a drop!so get yr cooling system pressure tested to find the leak source.there's definitely a slow leak somewhere.

tcl ... hurry and no delay ....... sent you car to yr workshop and check the cooling systems before something worst happen. Check the water pump, expansion tank, termostat and the rubber hoses for any leak. If your car mileage is 100K, just change the whole thing. This is one of the weakness of e39 M52 engine, especially pre year 99 model (single Vanos)

Oh shite.... better get mine checked too. I am not getting excessive pressure in my cooling system but got some hydrocarbon stains in my expansion tank. Need to top up half a cup of water a month, no water in oil and not loosing oil (even after 1 year).... wonder if I have the same problem too.

The same thing happened to my friend's W210, waste a lot of money and time to troubleshoot this.

Hi. Don't mind me bringing up an old thread. May I ask how many water hoses are there to be changed in a 2.5-litre M54 engine? I was told there are some which are hidden and have to open up the engine to see them. Thanks.
