problem #2

745 8-cyl

  • 89,900 miles
There is a tube in engine that is secured with two O rings. The tube holds coolant. If the O rings fail, then the coolant leaks and the engine will overheat. There are multiple cases of this documented on the internet and it has occurred in my vehicle. Service representatives have indicated that this is a common problem that they see on 745's engines made before 2006.
