Ahh, it'llbe right winkeye ive used much worse pikey-tech in the past :mad: Yeah, theyre deffo different. Cant remember which is which now, but on the ends of one hose set, the connectors are like a hoop??? with a bolt fastener And the other set, its like a pipe with a nut over it, you push the pipe...

No, what it was, i couldnt find a 323 auto box, so i just bought and fitted one from a 325. But it turns out the pipes have different connections, so i put my pikey cap on and thought gypo for a few seconds, then decided to just cut and weld the ends from one to the other :o: Should of really marked...

Anyone?

Does anyone know which coolant hose goes where on a 325 auto?
Say, the hose that connects to the box closest to the where the dipstick is attached, which side of the radiator does it also connect to?

Thanks, Craig

Is it maybe to open and close the vents blowing onto the windscreen????

Hahaha, im going to try keep the bmw for a while now, just concentrate on getting the beetle on road :mad: No can do this time mate, mines off the road needing another rad, should be here friday. Will be trying to get to the next one though, will be good to see yall and get some eats :) Mine should ...

you change your cars like underwear

Beemer looks sweet

what porsche wheels you going for? D90s would suit best i think

If your auto is anything like my 323i auto (slow as sh*te) then the golf should easily win

Nice pair though

Nice car, would be mint if it wasnt red

(dont like red cars much)

Got to love the internet, its like being back at school, but we can legally drink and listen in on other folks bitching

Yarr yarr rather, one would much enjoy caviar as an indulgent snack whilst modding ones vehicle

Thule-ish LMAO

genius
E30 is sweet, liking the rack too

Golf is top

The e30 shall be too if the same skill is used. Going to be a good thread this, me thinks

Looks good, mims are nice

Dubbers evolve to e30s

Any pics of the mk1?

Needs to be done dude

Something a bit different from typical black centres too

Mmmmm that is fricken sweet

Nice plate too

Borbet As look just right on 80s box cars

I vote anthracite centres

Ahh cool, cheers dude

e30topless, thats even better

Shall PM you

My car, 85 323i auto, has shat its gearbox - to be blunt, see here http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=131152 As per that thread, ive been offered a 325i auto box from a member and this thread is just to ask - will it fit and work? It will just be a tempory fix untill ive...

That would be better for me i think :) Just need to find out if it will fit and work on my 323. How much all together to drop it off? if it will work ProToZyKo, why does the gearbox have to have the same numbers for it to work? is it just different ratios? or will another box, say from a 325, physic...

Will it fit and work on my 323i?
If so the ill have it

Is it in good working order? how many miles had it done? and why did you take it off?

Sorry for all the questions

Anyone at all?

Anyone?

Right, so i went in my local motorfactors today to order the correct clutch, to which he looked me dead in the eye and said autos dont have clutches :o: i described what ive read on here and he just said that my problem would be the torque converter. Does he have no clue, or am i on the receiving en...

Well, the slipping has hit its final point now, the car wont move forward at all, just sits there revving its little ass off, in 1,2,3 and D Not managed to find a specialist yet :? You think its worth changing 'A' clutch? seems to be that, going off that info You fixed yours yet? how difficult was i...

Awesome stuff there

Ill track down a specialist near me then. Anyone know of any in or around Manchester?
I 'should' be able to do the work myself though

Are the clutches and torque converter one and the same? im baffled with how autos work

I presume it would be easier and cheaper to just change the box if it is that which has gone?

Will i just have to use a box specifically from a 323 if i do have to change the box? or just any 4hp-22 box?

Good news, sort of, it doesnt 'slip' when in reverse

The car has only done 78k too

Going to go order the filter tomorrow

DmcL wrote:clutches are probably shot.. i just broke mine today too. its doing the EXACT same thing lol

dunno if i will convert it to manual or just replace the box with another auto.

Ouch!

damn autos

Great post

cheers dude

Do you know where abouts the oil filler cap is?
Im going to flush it and change the filter next week

*edit* Aimed at ProToZyKo

OK, checked the gearbox dipstick with the car running and being warm. Its got plenty in, but it looked a little dirty/brown ish, i thought gearbox oil was red?

Ahh great help, cheers dude.
Hope it is just the filter
Ive only had the car 2 weeks

Yeah it slips all through different speeds if i accelerate hard enough. For example, theres a road i use that goes from a 30 to 50, when i get into the 50 zone and if i accelerate quite hard, the revs will climb to 3k+ but the speed will only slowly rise, untill it feels like as if the gearing has c...

Not running no, was still warm though, about 5 mins after a short 10 mile motorway drive

Whats the best conditions to check it?

Mine defo isnt switchable then. As for the slipping feeling, it does it through all gears if i rev too much. I have to gently rev to gain speed. Where you can feel it change gear (normally at 2-3k in D from set off) it wont do it unless i let off the revs, it will just keep climbing up the rev guage...

Is the dipstick for the box the one nearest to the bulkhead? it looks like it goes down to the box anyway. Its a clear liquid on that dipstick, and its got plenty in it if so. How would i find out for definate if it is the torque converter? ive never even heard of that if im honest haha. Mines an ea...

Ive got a 323 auto and i think the gearbox is on its way out??? When i accelerate it revs but hardly moves, like a slipping clutch in a manual. Ive never owned an auto before, and im not really sure how they work Anyone know? If i do need to get another gearbox, is it just 323 box's i have to use? o...
