E46 Inspection II Help!!!!!!!!!

[dinatan]

Hi, sent the car in for servicing and was told of the following problem.

To change:
1. Cont Bush
2. Oil Sum Casket + Surrounding Parts
3. Water Hose

PLUS change the Oil Coolant Tank + Top Hose coz engine oil was found in it when it is not supposed to be. Like to check if anyone have experienced these and can offer any advise on it.

There are also some light vibrations when car is at neutral which I was advised to have the Engine Mounting done.

Juz wondering if these problems are normal for a car hitting 90Km and the cost for the replacement and servicing.

M. thanks....

Depending on the way you drive, think all the items on your list are wear and tear item.

Only one I'd check is "Oil sump gasket" and surrounding parts...

engine mounting -- only change if you can't tahan the vibration. The parts are cheap, but labour is quite intensive.

Or you could save a bunch of $$$ and get it done by one of the workshops in the resources folder.

Good luck.

Thanks and i guessed as much. However, what i find unusual is that the oil substance found in the oil coolant tank. These are not supposed to mix. Any clues or advise?

Thanks, got it done and god gracious...engine arent affected! However, if anyone have any idea how these could have happened > oil substance found in oil coolant. I would sincerely appreciate you can share your experience with me. I was wondering could this actually be a manufacturer defect which have gone undected. The leaking occurs within the tank. If yes, my car is not under warranty, is there anyway I could go back to PML on it.
