Silencer??

[Princess Farah]

Hello helpfulicousz people... Once again, I'm seeking advice and tips...I was driving a fren's beemer the otha day to LCCT... there's no warning light on the dashboard but the squeaking brakes is pretty annoying when stepping on the brake pedal and the pick-up is not so good... I cant drive fast coz it feels heavy than usual... but I managed to find a shop to replace the brake pads.Question 1:How long do I need to wait before I replace to a new one... or do I have to have the same feelings again and wait for it to happen again to change 'em in the future?Then this morning there's a noise in the back... somewhat like a gas leaking out...Question 2oes it mean it's time to replace the silencer/muffler?Thanks....

I think u will be a lot "in control" when seated in front of your dressing table..

1. Break pad or some refer to it as brake lining... not the one in your pants la.. Most BMW has a break lining wear indicator. There will be a warning light on your meter cluster. So don't have to keep guessing whether need to replace brake lining or not. Not warning lights mean ok loo..

2. Muffler/silencer noise? Normally BMW muffler/silencer can last very long. Unless you drove it without care and allowing it to scrap on humps and what not. Then high chance of joint breakage. If u hear hissing from your engine or muffler or exhaust. Get it checked by a trusty pomen.. RedBaron is damn good in picking this exhaust leakage noise. When we had our TT at Aman Suria the other night, he can spot an exhaust leak in an AW E21 park across the road. Tabek! :top:

Yes, there are all part of the dashboard.. including your glove compartment and central radio console..

Must be specific mah.. OTW you might be looking for this indicator inside the glove compartment... I am not surprise there's such people..

Then this morning there's a noise in the back... somewhat like a gas leaking out...

If its something like a buzzing sound then it is the fuel pump...
