Our bill was 1300, of which the parts and shop supplies were less than a hundred bucks, 4 to 5 hours labour and it came to 1300 CAD

Just got another call back. The pipe going into the intake manifold was cracked from the coolant expansion tank.
The part was £30. Total cost £280 including VAT.

So yes the parts are cheap but the labour from main dealer is always extortionate!

Glad it’s fixed now! Ready for pick up tomorrow!

Was this done at an independent BMW specialist, or at a Multi-Brand workshop?
Just make sure that there is no air trapped in the cooling system. There is a special procedure to refill/bleed for these cars and it involves special vacuum equipment.

They didn’t charge me for diagnostics as I told them the issue myself which is a plus! Pleased with the outcome! They are going to do a full wash and vac and also health check

In the .pdf I couldn't find if the Action was engine specific and or if the hose failing specific to the B48 engine and not the B58 or both?

Hello , I have 2019 420i , local garage told me that issue of coolant loss/leak . They did initial diagnosis and mentioned coolant leak from hose/seal below inlet manifold (believed to run from expansion tank area to cylinder head). Given the location of leak we are not able to be specific as to the complete parts required. They told me it is time consuming work and will take lot of time.

They told me to contact BMW dealer as this is known issue but there is no recall in UK.

Hence i towed my car to BMW garage . I am worried about the quotation cost if it takes so much time
