Radiator Tank Crack E46

[fast&furious]

Last week my radiator reservoir tank crack and leak when I was going up to Genting Highland. Lucky I just arrive in the car park. The radiator reservoir tank just crack/rupture and I need to towed my E46 down hill to KL.I need to pay RM350 to get towed down to KL and since my insurance only covers up tp RM300, I still need to top up another RM50.I later found out that the radiator reservoir tank actually does crack often in all E46 and has a time interval that need to be replace.Anyway I bought the parts from my spare part dealer and fixed it. During the disamble the thermostate and lower radiator distribution panel crack - must be due to wear and tear.1. Radiator reservoir tank (Germany)- RM2602. Thermostate gauge (Germany)- RM2003. Lower part radiator distributor (Germany) - RM260So total damage RM720.00 + RM50.00 (tow truck)phew....fast & furious

Yes. It is famous for that. I've changed mine before it has any chance of cracking.
