Eberspacher Exhaust

Hi,

I need to get a middle box for a 3 piece system on a 325i. Just wondering if anyone knows where to get an Eberspacher or another OEM quality one?

Thanks

Re: Rev counter wiring

Checked for insulation. Ran a wire from ECU to cluster direct just to be sure but no joy. Stumped.

Exhaust

Hi,

Can I get a price for a 2 door 325i center section exhaust with post to Ireland? The car is 89 but there's a 3 piece system fitted.

Thanks

Re: Rev counter wiring

Just tried an ECU from another car & it didn't sort the problem. Is there anything else that could be tried?

Re: Rev counter wiring

Ok, I have continuity between pin 6 on the ecu & pin 7 on the blue plug that goes to the cluster. Is there anything else that could be causing this? Clocks worked perfect on another car yesterday.

Rev counter wiring

Hi, I have narrowed down my non working tacho to the wiring. I have read that the connection on the c101 plug may cause a problem. All I have done is wiggled it & disconnected it a few times. The pins all look fine. Is there any way of testing it? Also could there be a fault in the ECU or is there a...

Valve clearances on a 2.7

Hi,

What are the specs for the valves on a 2.7 conversion? Standard cam. I just found a note from the guy who built it saying .10mm intake & .15mm exhaust. Are these correct as I know standard is .25mm?

Bleeding brakes question

Hi,

Trying to bleed brakes on a 325 using an eezibleed. When I turn the bleed nipples on 3 calipers I only get fluid dribbling out, but when I open the nipple on front left wheel I get a stady flow of fluid. Any ideas what the problem is?

Thanks.
