well 1992 325i, 12 years (so 2004?) and only 80k, there is a big chance coolant hasn't been flushed for awhile and some cheap shop / dealership use regular water to top it up thru out the years, that brings the freezing point lower and lower...

I know a lot of shop, especially body shop, will just use regular green coolant into almost any type of cars, even toyota / vw / audi / bmw / mini / volvo etc that needs specified coolant:

1. that's probably all they stock
2. not that they care nor educated for, coolant is coolant, they think they are all the same
3. as long as your car runs fine upon delivery, good luck claiming them later...

十二年車咩都可能發生, 可能中間攞過去一d唔負責任既body shop, 可能dealer冇叫你個ex換, 可能dealer叫左你個ex換不過佢果次唔想等所以冇換之後亦都冇左件事...太多可能性喇, 不過有時候如果有人長氣d提醒一d人, 咁可能可以減少到一d不必要既damage...

CP: 盡可能就唔好加水, 方便係好不過舊年我地呢到我就知有一間dealer有一批新車係落大雪果排班新車主個個爆washer fluid既野, hose / tank / pump etc cuz they iced up...

唔係講去service, 例如撞車要入body shop, 佢地有可能要拆水箱先可以整到一d野, 又或者撞爛左要換? 咁都會導致入錯coolant; 入番舊既coolant都見過, 不過佢個pan有幾乾淨就...umm....

I recall only 2 accidents ja...one time is bumper (very minor), another time is head light (more like the corner side) broken (bump into the car in front of me but very slowly). More like body work, would that affect the radiator too?

多謝你嘅回覆先，我都係想識多少少嘢乍。

應該就唔會，不過睇下咩車，我上個冬天見過有個鬼仔部mazda3 炒到bumper下方，面頭淨係霧燈爛，但係後面個黑膠架(我記得係水箱架)同埋under carriage(engine底板)同fender liner 都爛溶溶

好似spoonek4咁講, 有時候好depends, 有d body shop會視乎零件要等幾耐先決定幫唔幫你claim, 好似水箱咁如果佢冇漏水佢未必換? 因為真係有見過好多車之後有問題都係accident related; 當然, 唔係次次都係咁, 不過好似岩岩整完一架都係因為兩年前大撞過整得唔好既, 過得太耐ICBC已經唔理佢, 咁佢整就整左$2000架車叫行得走得, 不過絕對唔係一架keep得過既車囉?! 相反, 有d可能body shop整得貴, 不過整得好, 同樣大撞過不過咩問題都冇...算唔算係 "都要睇彩數喇"

好似我有個friend, 佢要求好高亦絕對唔係唔肯比錢, 不過就係比出面一間都好有口啤既shop攪到差少少就係差少少咁囉, 執一執已經唔同晒不過佢就好奇怪之前點解d人可以幫佢整成咁(佢唔係冇問過, 不過人地話"係咁架喇", 咁佢咪只好當"就係咁囉")

如果架車保養得好, 四十萬邊樹係問題? 只不過係好多人覺得架車舊左唔想比錢整?

應該係咁講, 渣新車既都話唔駛整, 架車舊左佢又邊會整?

好似我知道果d四十幾萬既, 真係有d保養得好到你會佩服佢既恆心! 好似我一個鬼佬朋友話我知, 佢買左架87年既二手車, 上手車主有齊所有既service record, 連幾時換過燈, 邊一粒; 補過邊條tire之類全部有, 好誇張....

some people are just very anal about their ride some people just choose not to give a d@mn sh!t...錫車同用車, 一睇就知

Thank you for your info ar!!!

Again...  maintenance cost in Canada is just high .. ~ $150/hr labour cost is just high ..

Any 10 or 20 yr old car, (normal car) may only worth little money ..  ( HK is even worse ... a 15 yr old civic may still worth $3K cad here .. vs $3K HKD ..  due to even higher overhead cost)

Just the cost to keep an older car is too high ... I think we have a thread here, comparing some very old V12/V8 luxury ...  yes, may be $5-6K can buy those cars, and BLINK BLINK ..  but just some whatever service cost for those V12 ..can cost arm and leg. (ie: can buy a BMW 850i cheap, say $5-8K, and it looks nice, and sexy ...  but SUPER expensive ..  ) same as those old skyline ... cheap to buy, but costly to fix ..

Well, house is a different story ..  they worth more, and they last long .. most 30 year old houses, are better finished then newer one ..

Oh well, back to "WARM CAR" topic ..  since it is SO WARM here today, at MINUS 7 ... I didn't do any "warm car" at all this morning!
