[QUOTE="rainman55, post: 369226, member: 5614"] 5000km in 2 weeks Have been busy between Ipoh and JB the last 2 weeks and clocked close to 5000km. (4 trips in total :burnout:) and surprisingly only needed to top up radiator twice (in 2 weeks) because it was less than half both times. Anyway, checked the radiator cap, it's brand new alright. So the mystery of radiator runs low during normal drive remains a mystery. Now that I am settled. A new set of problem just appeared the last 2 days. My E34 felt jerky in the last couple of days, which I didn't have time to send in for checking. Today, I was driving when all of sudden I couldn't get acceleration when I step hard on the pedal. Next thing I know, car stalled! Restarting the engine will only see the idling go up and down then kaput... I then removed the connector to the MAF and car can go again. But the idling goes wild once in a while. The car's now at the mechanic's so probably won't know until he calls tomorrow. Any idea what's wrong? The only out-of-normal is the long distance and max 160kmh speed. Feels good when I see the radiator temperature always at 1/4 point (in the night lah...) even after I drove few hundred km. [/QUOTE]
