My E70 now officially joins valley leak club. I saw coolant deposited in the garage couple days ago. took to the indy shop on Thursday for a check and was informed that my E70 needs upper timing belt gasket replace and valley pan leak. they quoted me $1700 about for the job. the car will be in the shop until mid next week.
BTW, mine only has 76,000 miles on. |

That's when it all starts. My started leaking about then, so I refused to fix it until it was necessary. At point where I would loose coolant every other day (the coolant level indicated was on), I decided to fix the leak.
To add to this, right after I fixed the coolant leak the alternator bracket gasket started leaking a quart a day. lol For this I took it to service and with timing and valve cover I paid about 1400 in labor (in addition to this I needed to do break fluid flush and front control arms). This has been an expensive month. lol |

Had my coolant leak at 75k, 15 months ago... Fixed.
Had the oil leak from the valve cover gasket on drivers side which leaked into the alternator and caused it to fail. In addition, had oil leaking from the vacuum pump... All caused by a plugged/faulty crank case vent... Also replace the gasket on the drivers side at same time. All fixed/replaced. What a month!

would be a good time to join the "vendor" club... we like our vendors and do sponsor them by buying their products...
