Re: Where did the coolant go?

A couple of thoughts: 1. Take a close look at/around the center radiator (IIRC Tiptronic cars came with them as standard equipment). Unless you've added some, there's effectively zero protection for the center radiator from taking damage from road debris (e.g. gravel) kicked up by other vehicles. I ...

Re: Where did the coolant go?

Oil cap is clean I'm thinking a small leak somewhere as well. What is interesting is the level drops just by sitting for a couple of weeks.

It was not low the last time I checked it and had driven the car. Started putting in water, and it took 2 ...

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com

Found something I don't like about LED headlights....... I was driving home last night in our X3 and it was very cold and light snow. Normally the headlight are great and the high beams through far.
