Sometimes the Dorman OE solutions stuff is better than oem. Everything is a dice roll these days. I’m replacing a steering rack on my own car today that didn’t even make it 1800 miles before puking its guts out.

Mileage: 1800 km
I purchased a new expansion tank for my BMW e46. Initially, I opted for a Dorman expansion tank from AutoZone, but I wasn’t entirely convinced by my choice. Unfortunately, I observed that the AutoZone tank was leaking from the top, which left me puzzled. I wondered if this issue was due to it being an aftermarket part. This year alone, I’ve had to replace the tank five times, which has been quite frustrating.
Cons: leaking from top, frequent replacement
Vehicle:
BMW
