Mook
in BMW 3 Series Forum

Featured Replies

Hi guys, managed to get my oil leak sorted, it was the oil filter housing gasket, bit fiddly, but got there in the end!!!!!!!

Next on the agenda is that intermittant vibration on the offside rear, had a look, and the disks,pads and shoes are badly worn,but i don,t know if that is the reason for the vibration.

    Congrats on getting that pesky leak sorted, well done

    As for the vibration, If the disks and pads are knackered, they need changing either way so get that done and see how she responds. Whilst your at that job, do check all the wishbones and bushes!!

    Good luck
