E30 Zone

Guys, thank you, Found the problem. Replaced a fuse.

Guys, I did some major body work for my E30 325i , like getting rid of the rust under the battery , rewelding a whole new sheet of metal etc., So I had to remove the Dash Board, I took the opporuntity to do some sound proofing to the firewall as well. Upon refixing back the dash board, now my Analog...

thanks, I will post my reply after a couple of days time when I have tested. Oh yes thanks for the no cost solution

Yes I do have an O2 sensor, but no CAT .

Ant thanks for the reply mate, the last time I did ask you, have you taken in to consideration the O2 sensor when programming the ZONE CHIP you sent me. You said some thing now I cant remember well

So what shall I do?

tnx ANT

Guys I just found out my car driven at constant speed of 80Mph for half an hour suddenly develops slight hesitation. When I slow down to 70Mph it runs fine. Could this be a fuel supply problem. I am thinking to buy a PBV http://www.fuelsystem.co.uk/pbv.htm Do you guys think this should solve my prob...

My ride took an upgrade path from E30 320 1984 manual with Air Condition to what it is now E30 325i Auto a with 1989 engine, so is it possible originally it had a lower rating Alternator and now it is effecting.

Any idea how to check what rating my alternator is currently ?

Thanks

My ride E30 325i Auto works pretty good when going around town or long distance over motor way so long I dont switch on the Air Conditioner. But I live in a warm climate so sure I must use the Air Con, but the sad story is I could drive the car with Air Con ON for about an hour after that the car fe...

NGK BP6ES ? Can anyone confirm this

ZGR5A is correct but little difficult to find it in ?

I have no complaints about the sound. I just have this feeling I could have bit more power

I am from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, I got the BOYSEN centre box from a local dealer.

I like my exhaust as quiet as possible, I was hoping I could make it even more quieter.

when I travel windows down at normal speed say 50Kms / hour I think the sound is pretty loud specially accelerating

If you guys say, BOYSEN is one of the best, then I take your suggestion

thanks

Hi all, Reacently I changed my complete exhaust system for E30 325i I installed a new BOYSEN centre box and a slightly used EARNST rear box. I have no complain about the sound but some how I feel the system is bit restrictive. Am I imagining things here :roll: Did any one of you get rid of the BOYSE...

I installed the W8LCR in the engine today and took the car for a Kms 100 ride, and sure enough it works fine and I got my Fuel consumption back to normal.

Phew .. next time I will punch the fellow who tell me to change the spark plug to a different number

thank you all

ok I am wrong, today we pin pointed the leaky spot, it is the O ring holding the fuel sender. Once replaced a new O ring now the leak there no more.

what puzzles me is, when no one is fiddling down there, how can the O ring perish

thanks , Yes I am thinking to switch back to W8LCR

the fuel consumption I am loosing Kms 100 in average for a full tank of petrol. mine is a 55ltr tank.

How do you repair the sender?

TQ

Genleman, my ride is an E30 1989 325i engine, I have been using all this while W8LRC and worked fine, During my last change, the workshop told me W8DC is the correct spark plug and forced me to install. I dont notice any difference in Performance, but I certainly not my fuel consumption has increase...

thanks everyone

My fuel guage needle sits at one particular spot for too long. When the car goes around a bend the needle will swing wide to a new location. I am dead sure most of the time the needle indication is not accurate, just average with a +/- big margin. Is this problem of the fuel guage meter or the senso...

My temperature guage needle swings rapidly left to right when ever I switch on my windscreen wiper.

Now is this a bug or feature in an E30 vehicle?

thanks

Brian, I am pretty sure cause I could see petrol dripping. the tank top side where the weld is, leaking and it is wet there.

OK guys, I installed a new rubber hose at the connection between Fuel Filler Pipe and the Tank. Yes the old rubber looked little perished at the tank joint but overall it is still good. Now after installing I pumped full tank as usual right up to the neck, the smell is still there :mad: While fixing...

I use to smell heavy petrol smell in my car cabin, I changed the pipe going to the injector and the return pipe. I saw the pipe to the injector was cracked and petrol was smearing. the smell inside the cabin went off. But when I drive windows down I could still smell the petrol, so I changed the 2 r...

So when All the Green LED's goes off, it is time for engine oil change ? Is that right ?

Normally what services is done when all the LED's goes off?

TQ bryang

I would like to know, how does this SI LED behave. Is there a fixed mileage after which one by one LED goes off indicating ready for maintenance?

I was told, it depends very much on the way how we drive.

Can any one elaborate this strange SI LED behaviour?

TQ

Pardon my ignorance, Does this rear anti roll bar has any real effect in the driving? Can some one please elaborate the benifits ?

Thanks

ps: Some one is trying to sell me one, I am reluctant to buy not sure how important it is.

my 325i Auto is zone chipped and got a BBTB, I use it spirited driving in town, I get about 26mpg but drive more sober then I get about 28mpg in city driving. Long distance highway driving I beleive it is about 36mpg odd some thing. Simply fantastic. I use Fusch Synthetic 5-40W engine oil :cool:

i use to use 10w40 oil semi syn and i noticed the tappet sounded louder, now that i am using Fusch 5w40 synthetic my engine is running quiet. yes the engine is bit noisy until it is fully warmed.

OK then I am going to keep the exhaust manifold stock. the header pipe how long should be the lenght?

Oh yes, my ride is a 325i with BBTB and a zone chip in.

Brian thanks again. You have saved my sanity once again dude

I will stick with the stock exhaust manifold.

TQ

This is the first time in this forum some one has no opinion on a subject. Come On guys .. I would like to hear some thing

Guys, Can the guru's here list the pros and cons in changing the stock exhaust manifold in a E30 325i car? I for one can guess the first thing is, getting rid of the stock exhaust will make the engine more noisy. (IS THAT CORRECT)? Secondly the fuel consumption can go throught he roof! My buddy here...

thanks dudes, thats the name I was searching for "Eberspacher", the guy who was trying to sell me the stuff keep spelling and pronouce wrong

TQ

Hi everybody, I am about to change my Exhaust resonator box and muffler for my E30 , 325i ride. I heard BOYSAN is the OEM supplier for BMW exhuast system. Some one tell me this company has closed shop and a sister company has taken off by the name of EBES BEKKER. Can any one confirm this info. thank...

thanks, now I know the sales fella BS me

Gentlemen, For my 325i machine I have been using FUCHS semi synthetic SAE 10W-40 and I managed to run about 9K plus Kilometres and changed it today. The car ran smooth and I think I can do couple of more thousand KMs if I wanted to but I changed new oil today to : FUCHS Supersyn SL SAE 5W-40 I purch...

thanks, yes mine is a Motronics 173 series aka 1.3 so I can fix in 320, 325, 318 or 316 great.
