E30 Zone

320km/h on an E30 instrument cluster is just gay. When you drive over 230, it already feels like the car is going to take off.

That being said, this (or similar devices) might help you in this case.

how many more pictures like that do you keep on your computer, rich?
It's deffo called camp corner for a good reason!

IIRC it was to do with amplified vibration onto these bushes, not rotation. But it is only a highly unlikely possibility thrown in with the others.

b4 is OEM, as stated.
But the b6 are standard length, while the b8 are the shortened ones. Apart from that, 6&8 are similar.

You're running the 6 speed gearbox, aren't you? What oil did you use? I read from a few gearboxes destroying (badly swelling) some plastic bushes when run with good but non MTF-LT2 gear oil, creating similar if not anywhere as loud symptoms as yours... And I know from experience that the S6S is not ...

I would suspect water and coroded wires in the C101. (big round plug fixed to the bulkhead)

The only thing I can imagine is that you have play somewhere in the steering or suspension and that the sound is now transmitted through the solid column instead of dying at the guibo. But you should have felt it before if it is to the point of clunking... As for the phone, english drivers are defin...

It means it is broken. However, it depends a bit on your meter - 1000ohm is a fair resistance, and a cheap one might sense it as open circuit. But if there is no continuity at all, no current is flowing, which would point towards answering this [...] It has a 1000 ohm resistor shunted across it, but...

It can also be pressed out...
probably not with a vice, though.

Sorry for the stupid question, but is it hitting anything?
pictures might help as well.

On a working unit with original engine fitted, I always found that I had to drive for a while and only then would it go out on the next start. - Don't know whether that was a strange behaviour on my car or if it is a planned one on all cars. Blue yellow directly to earth and purple green to earth th...

That's tame compared to some other european countries. Take CH and F for example, the only way to homologate a swapped engine without playing with import/export to more lenient countries is to follow the official homologation process (like a manufacturer does with a new car) meaning for example cras...

I've had a non working revcounter in the old ix I'm putting back together - found out that the C101 was totally messed up with non matching pins -> no signal.
Although this is ruled out if it happened on a previously known working car.

obviously serving other purposes as well on the e34!

RealOEM Linky, part N°16

star! Thanks.

If it's hollow (like a caphead), you need a Txx.

If the torx head is pointing out ("like" a hexhead), you need an Exx.

If you can measure the thing, I can tell you. - but minicooper172 is probably not far off.

does the coding plug even fit the e30 counter? You have to remove it from the casing and just insert the PCB into the slot, carefully engaging the pins without damaging them, but its not too fiddly if you have a fair level of dexterity. interesting! And the old M88/S38 uses the same crank sensor? (...

Connect a 1000 ohm resistor between the purple/green and earth (brown).

And like that it will work for sure

From what I read in my diagrams, the dynamic sensor sets the fault and the static on clears it. (never opened a check control unit to see inside myself, so Brian is certainly more knowledgeable there.) So I earth the blue/yellow and cut the violent/green?(on the car side) Yes, I think this would do ...

One detail, as I've looked into it as well for my car: It seems that even with an M3 counter and a 6 cylinder plug, the counter is still about 10% off the correct scale. (source e30.de) Don't know about e28 m5 at all though. (does the coding plug even fit the e30 counter?) Without looking at the dat...

and I don't suggest that you have to do it simultaneously, before somebody has a laugh about the bad explanation

Just that both wires have to be "doctored".

it's because this is the static switch only. You have to ground it, and at the same time cut the wire to the dynamic switch, pin 10 on a '88 C101 (violet/green car side, blue engine side)
HTH

Did they check the overvoltage protection relay that on a lhd is next to the steering column? (I suppose it has to be somewhere behind the glovebox on rhd cars)
This relay has a fusible link and has been described many times as a prime suspect for such a fault by a few knowledgeable people on here.

What year is the car?

be carefull, the post office lady was once a police officer. She'll be chasing you if you carry on

just take the lower sump off.
Apart from cleaning years of gunk that are most likely resting there, oil pump bolts on M60 are apparently known to unwind themselves, which is a bit unfortunate. If it is the case, clean them and locktite them back in.

same on mine

Did you have to take the bolts out on the M60? they usually kindly wait for you laying in the sump...

Hi Sorry, short on time to fish out information berried in a broken computer tonight. However, there is one american company (the one for which I have to dig out links) that does uprated clutches on a single mass flywheel, and it is quite good value for money - which doesn't mean cheap. IIRC using B...

sorry, forgot that you kept the engine in its original wrapping...

m60 don't. IIRC the mechanism is in the line to the slave, looks like a brake pressure limiter. A sure way on these to extract more power "easily" is to get rid of the cats -> mine is quite silent with only them and a backbox on, so they do slow the flow. But there again, I don't think you kept them...

no, I was dead serious!

why?

and a cone filter gains you 35bhp, an ally fuel trap 10. That's all well known fact, isn't it?

speedometer? speed indicator? Is the thing called differently in english?
