My Ride: 545 2005 Model. Full spec so happy with as is.(for the moment!)
Default

Any ideas please, my 2005 545 altenator is covered in oil. I found out when I went to replace it today, thought it was faulty and got a replacement! Only by wrangling it out of the half dismantled engine bay I realised it was faulty due to being soaked in oil. Nothing up top or visable else where but the beam under the engine is covered.
Any help would be appreciated.
