BMW Coolant and Camshaft seal question
Hi Guys !
I am preparing to change the timing belt in my (M20) 525i and I am looking for BMW coolant, is there a place online to buy it or do I have to go to BMW dealer ???? Also when replacing the belt is it neccesary to replace the camshaft seal ??? www.bmwe34.net puts it on the parts list but the guy who is helping me with the replacement didn't mention it, I am confused.
Thanks,
Daniel
Did you get a Waterpump? (more)
Change the waterpump also if you haven't changed it already.
You might also want to change all the belts (alternator, A/C and power steering) while you are at it because you will have to remove them.
Other than that... get some good cleaner.
2 gal. + 2 gal. distilled water (nt)

All I need now is to buy collant from the local BMW dealer. Here is my question how much of it do I need for M20's cooling system ???
