Newbie north east

Post by PaulZ32 » Sat Mar 07, 2015 5:23 pm

Hi

I have had my X5 E53 4.4 for a few months now. Unfortunately now got the dreaded coolant leak from the rear of the engine. So I will be asking for loads of advice  ::)

Managed to find the leak. quite a job to get to it. Question is is there anywhere to get replacement parts or best just to get them from the  stealers ? Gaskets valley pan etc.Took me all morning to get to the leak. Hose to rear and possibly valley pan, although valley  pan  gasket is not silicone but an actual gasket.
