Ssszz sounds from left side

I notti today... go play hooky from wurk.... and went down to the workshop.
Finally manage to catch that irritating tikus!!!

Yup, it was the exhaust. One leaky gasket and a torn "nenas" at the assembly. Changed those and now it's blissfully quiet when acceleration ..... except for that mercyless irratating tapping noise from the engine!!! Aaaiyah.. one more rat to kill...!!!! Now where did I put that racun tikus already?

p/s
no need to change engine liao for the time being... that's until my itch start to act up again.

Great! Now I will check if mine is the same problem.

how much was the damage btw?

oi.. K.M. .... I write nice long PM for u.. ur PM box FULL, ur email cannot be sent.... how i contact u ah?

 

[sesat88]

aramis...

RM200 +/- ... i think as not yet get bill. ... might be less
est:
"nenas" ~ RM180 (make sure dual layer)
"gasket" ~ RM20

FYI..
exhaust shops are notorious one, esp. when they see a fish called "bimmer"!

 

[sesat88]

oh yes.. aramis... please ask the exhaust guy / mechanic to go and have a ride wit you first (windows down) so he can at least listen to the sound and have an idea on it. Else our dear fren may u know la.......!!!

its true bro..
do you have anybody to recommend to us..?
i've found nobody yet..

There are a few workshop that willing to give special atention to your car by a good mechanic. For me, mostly in KL. I have my own favourite workshop in KL, even though I'm in Penang.
Thay spent from 10am till 4pm just on my car. After service the wash my engine and short circuit on oil pressure sensor. They replaced a new one FOC.
If u wanna try, I can PM you the workshop name as I dun want to be accuse as promoting any workshop.

alamak.... go look under some japanese/local car la.. sure got one...
the a cylindrical thingy with wire weave (flexi).

Normally for Bimmer... they don't use it if new i.e. the exh. manifold is tubed direct to the silencer and cat. convertor. I use it coz, to dampened the vibrations (exhaust manifold in old cars does not sit nicely(when being driver) to the block hence cause leakage and torque loss). No $$$ leh to change nice shinny exhaust lerrr....
