Anyone know what this could be?

Hi all,

Over the last 2 -3 weeks when my car is started from cold, it does'nt run smooth it seems to be spluttering and after 3-5 minutes it runs normal. Any one got any idea whats going on? i've changed the blue and brown sensors but still the same.

Cheers

I had a similar problem but with mine i found out that the coolant temperature sensor was'nt tightening properly and water was escaping there. Once i changed that its fine now.

Ok cheers for that mate

Just trying to find out how i change the breather hose and does the inlet manifold have to come off to do it

I think i'll look to get a second hand one but thanks for that mark

Hi all, I've discovered with the help of a fellow zoner that my exhaust manifold is slightly warped and everytime the manifold gasket is fitted it keeps blowing at number 6 cylinder. I wanted to know if anyone knows where i can get it skimmed in North London or am i better off getting another manifo...

i'm thinking i may just get the six branch stainless steel manfold i was planning to get this done in a couple of months so i may as well do it now.

Cheers

Cheers for that mate its just such a pain i'll have to make some enquiries to see where i can get this done.

I done the same but mine was the front, i had to get a new suspension leg and steering rack

Yes, its the exhaust manifold gasket. Someone did mention to me that the manifold may need skimming. Is this expensive to do and where could i get that done?

Thanks

Hi, I've found out that the mechanic who fitted my manifold gasket has cross threaded one of the bolts in the head. What can be done to rectify this cause its pi....ng me off at the moment. I'm going to see him tomorrow to get my money back i can't trust him to do the job as i've had this done twice...

I would like to know how to fit the dechrome trim and do i need any special tools.

OK thanks for that

ok mate cheers for that i'll have a look in the zone shop.

By the way whats MS and what sort of price would it be?

Just a question, as i wanted more power and a friend of mine suggested changing the brain.

Hi, I wanted to find out if the alpina or m3 brain can be used on a 325sport and if so what modifications would need to be done. Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Win

dAMN RIGHT i love the e30's

Cheers guys i have the haynes manual i'll take a look tomorrow and have a go

Is it difficult to change?

I started my car last night after i finished work and the fan belt started screeching does this mean i need a new fan belt or does it just need adjusting?

Thanks

Cheers Mate, just one more thing i have'nt changed the diff oil since i've had the car what oil is recommended?

I know it may be a silly question but is a 325 auto with the switchable sports box a proper Sport, and does it come with the LSD.

Cheers

ok martin cheers for your help. I'm getting fed up with this mechanic but i paid him good money to do the job and i'm gonna make sure he does it properly this time.

i think it is from the same place. He assured no bolts had snapped but i'll try what you suggested. its not blowing as bad as it was before but i can still hear it plus i don't think he renewed the downpipe gasket either. I don't know if that makes much difference but it seems to be blowing more und...

So if a bolt has snapped how can that be repaired, and how can i tell if he bodges it again

i just had a look all th bolts sem to be there but they don't all look the same. is it worth buying new bolts to do it the next time

I have'nt checked i'm going to have a quick look now.

Cheers Adam & Martin, its not losing water but i think what adam said is right i don't think he's doing the job properly i'm bringing it back to him tomorrow i'm just worried he'll do another bad job.

HI guys, i've had a mechanic change my manifold gasket twice now but within 3-4 weeks it starts blowing again. does anyone know why this is. The car is a 325 m20 engine.

Cheers

Win

AH, I did'nt think of that, i've got one of those braces.

Cheers
