Helpful product answers
What is the Water Flange Block (Skp) used for in BMW 3 Series E30, E36, and Z3 models?

What should I do if the Water Flange Block starts leaking after installation?
If you notice leaks, first check that all hose clamps and bolts are properly tightened but not over-tightened. Inspect the flange and hoses for cracks or damage.
