What i had thought a simple replacement of radiator cap actually turns out to be the expansion tank ... It had developed the same crack as before on my previous expansion tank

So i got some extra budget i decided to buy a few replacement parts ...

items in the pic above
1) Nissen Radiator
2) BMW coolant
3) Fuel filter
4) 2 x Pennzoil Fully Syn 5W-40 engine oil
5) Toyota rad coolant (bought it earlier b4 i knew BMW coolant cost a bit more)
6) Oil filter housing gasket
7) Aircond tensioner (the box in blue)

The Nissen radiator up close

And then I bought engine thermostat and also expansion tank (no pics) ...

Went to my regular workshop with all the parts

Pics of the old thermostat

Putting in the distilled water and bmw coolant after changing the thermostat and expansion tank

So here's the inetersting part ... Fuel filter my mech recommends to change it every year and here's the reason why

Shocking!

you can see the dirt residue on the pan!

Installation done ...

Additional work done was engine oil change, oil filter and oil filter housing gasket. What was NOT done was the radiator and the aircond tensioner there was not enough time really. I'll change the radiator together with the other hoses as recommended by bro jarance some other time :4:

Here's a tip for everyone ... Make sure you change the plastic bleeder screw AT LEAST once a year. When the mech bleed my radiator he inadvertently sheared of the screw resulting coolant leaking on the top hose and i found about it during rush hour in the evening!!! Because of that i had to change my top hose since part of the bleeder screw is stuck on the top hose. The bleeder screw is selling for RM12 if i'm not mistaken ...

What we really need is this :4:

Next on the buying list would be radiator hoses that connects to the engine block, spark plugs, CCV plus hoses and suspension (that will be much later lah)

Good preventive measures, bro! :top:

 

[B33mEr]

Yup preventive is the key bro :4:


In case if anyone missed it (posted this on ecc0's thread)... E46 330 5 speed gearbox with ESS TS2 supercharger tearing up the highway at 163mph. I'm sure with a 6th gear it would have gone higher 170+ The sound the SC combine with the magnaflow exhaust system is just orgasmic :love:

bro

that termostat housing ..better change to alu type ...

i had 4 of those brass bleeder screw but already gave out ...wished i had one for you ...good stuff to have

 

[Petrus]

Bro,

How long did your expansion tank last? I just changed mine with all the cooling system hoses just as preventive maintenance too..

Thanks bro ... Yup the brass bleeder screw definitely will save a lot of hassle and potentially saves a lot of money because once the plastic bleeder break into two it could be near impossible to retrieve the other lower half ...

Bro,

How long did your expansion tank last? I just changed mine with all the cooling system hoses just as preventive maintenance too..

The 2nd one it lasted me about 1yr 7mth plus it's an ori expansion tank ... To be fair the car is driven 70-80% city traffic and 30% highways. From what i've read some suggested that BMW design the expansion tank to be the weakest link so as to protect other critical component in the radiator system. That's why it's a common item to fail :4:

nice ride you've got there bro.

bro for the e46 expansion tank it's pretty easy to see the sign of it's life getting to the end ...that water level dip stick will change it's colour from dark red to lightish brown ..that's the sign of the aeging expansion tank ... a good preventive way i would say ...wish such thing exist on e36's too
