After installing my pulley and exhaust I noticed a small coolant leak on my 03' MCS. It seems to be coming from the coolant lines going to the oil filter housing. They are very corroded/rusted and the cause of the leak.

BMW dealer said they have never sold this part before, but could order it $175 and 4 weeks to get.

Anyone have a spare for sale? I may have to make a set myself. Would be very easy to make from copper pipe but I don't think copper is a good idea with an aluminum cooling system.

Suggestions?

Pelican Parts has it for $113 (US)http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/..._928M=ON113ish

Still kind of pricey, someone may have another suggestion/idea.

 

Classic junk yard part. You can visually tell if it is good or not. Probably $35

 

Junk yard part would be perfect! For some reason used MCS parts seem to be a rare find in Nova Scotia :( it looks pretty bad and I wouldn't trust it to last much longer either way. Combination of winter salt and heat from header really destroyed it.

 

You can get used parts online these days. Not sure about CA factor, but I would look into it.

 

We just did one of these at our shop the other day it was the "U" shape hoses and it's was like $20. Find out which one is leaking and search the part number online!
