Rem water pump need to be replaced every 50k km. My water pump flywheel jam at 6+am while i was making paralled parking along East Coast Park. As flywheel jam, rubber belt snap. No power steering.

Re: Radiator Leaked

I remember my E46 radiator also burst and steam came out of the hood after a "pop" sound was heard, while I was driving along Beach Road. I thought my car was on fire and ran out of the car in the middle of the road.

DAMN YOU BMW!

Re: Radiator Leaked

Think my radiator going to be replaced soon.. but oso would like to change the radiator hoses to silicon type so it can last longer..

Does BVO or BOSS has the silicon hoses?? How much is a set of silicon hoses for the radiator?

How to tell whether water pump replaced or not on an used car with high mileage? Any tell tale signs?
