Hi Fanatics

I am the proud owner of a alpine white 2010 320d LCI, the mileage is higher than I would have liked but the car runs very well and was given the green light by a local franchise dealer.

I have already had my first issue though, if the car is filled with diesel there is a leak from one of the hoses. Any idea on what this will cost to fix?

Also what other issues should I look out for?

Thanks
Al

Welcome Alex. Post some pics of your ride.

Regarding the leak, does it continuously leak or is it when the car is on?

Maybe a leaking hose? but you'd expect it leak even more when the car is on. Get it checked out by reputable mechanic, that will be an easier diagnosis route.

some pictures of the car and a very excited gf. here is the fuel leak. I checked my parking spot at work and there is no evidence of a fuel leak there, so it seems to have only been when i filled the car on Friday night and Saturday when it was leaking? will have to take it in next week to have a look.

Nice car buddy, Alpine white looks very good on you e90.

That to me sounds like the tank is leaking. Also where the leak is coming from is where the tank is located. When you filled up on Friday, was it a full tank? Did you notice what the fuel gauge showed when it stopped leaking? My recommendation is get it checked out asap and don't fill up your tank, just put enough fuel for your trip/s until you can get the leak sorted.

Yeah I filled the tank Friday and the fuel gauge had barely moved when the leak stopped I only drove 25k's this weekend.
