How convenient

W37V · 02-02-2015, 09:26 AM

This morning I take my in to check out rubbing noise from console when the car is cold, and SA tells me that I am overdue for coolant flush and power steering fluid flush. Estimated price for those 2 flushes - ~$550. Also suggested items were new vipers and AC filter for $200. LOL!

Got to love how conveniently these "lifetime" items are due when a person is paying out of pocket and never due during free maintenance period.

seems overpriced. I'm not sure about power steering flush but i had a coolant flush a couple months ago by the dealer for $150

coolant flush is very easy on an e90 due to the existence of the electrical water pump~

Once it warms up outside, this preventative DIY shall be conquered

They were specially bread to be super poisonous, but way cheaper than at the evil villains pet market.
