Bought from Bavarian Auto. on 03/30/12 - Decided to get the JL Germany tank instead of OEM to save a couple bucks (kicking myself in the ass now). Installed first week of April 2012, approx. 18k miles ago. Have noticed over the last few weeks that the level in the tank has dropped, and discovered a leak at the seam where the top part of the tank attaches to the lower portion. Two questions:
1.) What is the warranty on this item? I am hoping that because it is less than a year old, it is still under some sort of manufacturer's warranty. Will BavAuto honor a replacement? I will be happy to pay the difference for an OEM tank, if that is the case.
2.) It's Sunday afternoon, they're closed. I have to work tomorrow and all week. Earliest I will be able to replace is Saturday morning, which is 500 miles from now. Is there any sort of temporary solution to slow the leak? I am having to add coolant almost once/day as the low coolant light comes on. Hate pouring expensive BMW coolant/distilled water in just to see it all leak out.
Thanks guys!
