E30 Zone

Have you checked the compressions? Seen these bend valves and crack the inlet cam caps.

When the engine goes into limp mode it switches off the valvetronic and uses the throttle body to control the air into the engine instead of the valves. Try disconnecting the air mass meter and driving it,this will switch off the valvetronic system as well. If it drives better then the problem lies ...

Thanks buddy

Hi all, I've just put a genuine BMW service reset tool on e bay. If anyone is interested in it pm me. I've tried to get pictures on here to sell it but being an oldie and computer illiterate it never seems to work. eBay name is brewster2508.
Cheers, wellard

Headlamp arrived today,great service as usual,cheers Mick a˜„

Handbrake lever arrived today, all good and great service.
Thanks Mick.

You only need one e34 uj.
Take the top yoke off the top of the e30 shaft then remove the lower yoke that goes on the rack and join them together. Use the e34/e28 uj on the rack end and the one you've joined at the column end.it's a bit more work but saves using two e34 joints.

The repair loom I mentioned above has a new plug connector with gold plated pins to overcome the resitance fault.I wouldn't recommend bypassing the plug and soldering the wires as its not a bmw recommended repair. I did many of these in my time at the dealership and the repair was done with crimp co...

Might be worth checking the boot floor for cracks around the subframe mounts before you start ripping it apart.if it is cracked you may get it repaired by bmw under warranty.

Have you tried a bmw breakers? FAB are pretty good, get the part number off your lcm and ring them up, they may have one.

1, seat belt pre tensioner loom is a common fault on these.a repair loom is available. Seat mat or the slip ring also fail. 2, I'm pretty sure they have bulbs in. 3, if you remove the radio there is a seriel number stamped on the side, I think it's 16 numbers.if you give the dealer this number they ...

A common fault on these is the boot loom where it comes out the body and into the boot lid.pull the grommets out of the boot and body and peel back the the covering and see if any wires are broken and shorting.

Sounds like the lamp control module is on its way out.its located in the drivers footwell behind the a post trim. It may have water ingress but its more than likely its fooked. You may find someone who repairs them on the internet but you can fit a seconhand one but they are assingned to the car ie ...

The loom that connects the flap motors is a bus loom, each flap motor is coded to a particular flap and they are connected in series out of the control unit and back again.

I doubt a M43 will fit as it has counter balance shafts which are housed in a unit with the oil pump at the back of the engine so a M40 sump won't fit.

bought a rear wipe wash module for my touring great service and fast delivery.
cheers Pete

When you say original gearbox is it the e30 box or e36 box?

Pre supply pumps, brake pipes corrode at the rear, broken rear coil springs,air bag faults, injectors, calipers sieze, radiators, thermostats abs faults etc etc.I could go on, however nothing you can't fix if you are handy with a toolkit. Personally if you don't do a lot of mileage I would go for a ...

In over thirty years in the motor trade I've only seen this once on a wolesely six.as Brian said above it's a fault in the valve block in the rack and a replacement rack is the only cure.

Going by the key you have factory dwa.3g 3t and 2t were dealer retrofit and have separate remotes. Have you tried initialising the keys?

I think I know that purple car.if it's the one I think it is the seller is right about the owner having it from new and it was serviced regularly at the dealers while I was there.

It might be worth checking the thin wire at the fan plug as I had one where it had corroded in the plug where it crimps to the connector. Looked ok from outside.
Have you checked the fat red and brown wires for live and earth?

Ah yes antenna is in ns for remote, was thinking e61 doh.have had problems with the general module in the past.might be worth pulling it out and taking the cover off.

Could be broken wires in the tailgate/glass hinges causing the remote locking to pack up.
general module controls doors and windows via the p bus.do wipers,pdc still work?

It does sound like an ews problem if the starter isnt operating.try swopping the transmit receive module over from your is.its located under the steering column lower cowl,they were quite common for failing.its a small black box with two connectors,one from the ring aerial and the other goes to the ...

If there is gas in the system then check you are getting voltage to the compressor when you switch on the ac.if you are then the compressor or compressor clutch is probably at fault. Also make sure the auxilary fan is not siezed. Did the kwik fit fitter not check the system pressures when he regasse...

If the inspection 2 service was done properly the roll over bars would have activated so the roof would have been opened to do this.ask whoever did the service if they opened the roof.

Gas struts arrived today and fitted.well packaged and great to deal with.cheers Paul.

Another thumbs up for danthe, power steering return pipe for e46 rack conversion.quality product and speedy delivery.

No, it runs very close but not had any problems so far.

M44 manifold clears the bonnet fine.
Re the disa close to the reservoir, if you remove the nut and stud and put a bolt in it gives a little more clearance.I've been running mine six months now and had no problems.

Might be worth checking the end float on the crankshaft,run the engine at idle and get someone to press the clutch in and out while you watch to see if the crank pulley moves in and out. During normal driving it may be ok but on a track day it might be enough to cause the belts to come off if there ...
