E30 Zone

Reviving an old post I know, but are these still available in the UK? The website on the first post just has info now.

After much head scratching, turns out it was the new MAF sensor that was fitted end of last year. I had the old unit in the boot so that was fitted just to test the theory, and the car started straight away. Still runs a bit rough, but I've been told that could be due to fuel in the oil as I don't u...

I can get pretty OCD with my car cleaning, I can spend hours on it. Snow Foam Rinse Wash (2 buckets with Wool mitt) Rinse as I go if its warm. Use various pressure wash attachments for wheel arches, underbody etc. Dry with microfibre towels Clean wheels and dress tyres. blacking products on any plat...

Took it to a garage to be looked at and they can't find anything on it.
It sparks fine and the fuel system is running ok and nothing is showing up on a diagnostics test. Our mechanic is pretty stumped on it, so we now need to find more of a specialist to have a look at it.

I bought Toyos for my E30 based on how happy I was with them on my old Astra gsi. I felt they had a faster wear on them than other tyres I'd used, but I've never had issues in the wet or dry with them. They are a good branded tyre but in lower prices brackets. I probs wouldn't change fro what you ha...

Thanks, I shall get them tested ASAP.
I'd rather test as many things as I can at home, rather than trying to tow it to a garage and pay someone else to eliminate things.

Nice diagram, that will be handy, thanks

It's a non-vanos

I shall check through those bits tomorrow when it's daylight. I fitted a new MAF not too long ago, aswell as new pipes to go into it, so there shouldn't be any leaks in that area. i did come across the mention of EWS but it seems that is on 93 models onwards, and my engine is from a 91 E34. Thanks f...

ICV is connected properly. Found a stray pipe that comes from the top of the engine, breather pipe maybe? Everything else seems to be tight in place.

Just put the ignition on and it sounds like the ICV is buzzing, so I'd have thought that means it is connected fine. Just tried starting it again and revving it hoping it would continue to run but it still stalls.

Stupid me kinda forgot to include that bit of important info.

Thanks for that link, I'll look through it now. Bear in mind my mechanical knowledge is limited and I shall have to hassle the other half to help me

The battery is in the boot as I've got an M50 lump in it

Heya. I have a bit of a problem, the car won't start. It turns over and just at the point where you'd expect it to idle nicely, it stalls immediately. Because of when it stalls, it seems the battery and starter etc are ok as it does fire up, but just doesn't continue to run. I'm thinking it could be...

I'm after a MAF sensor re this thread http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... 76#2432576

The part number on realoem is 13621730074 but I cant seem to find any new in the UK.

The bosch code is 0280213011.

I really hope you can help, thanks

So best bet is to replace the MAF then and see if that solves it.

Thanks for your help

would the wrong temp reading cause it to use much more fuel than normal?
it sounds like its flooding sometimes, like its choking, and really struggles to keep running. It is odd though, sometimes the revs sit really low and sound like its going to cut out and other times it revs high (this is on idle)

Air temp I think they said

I've changed the split pipe after the maf, got new grids, checked everything else and there is no apparent air leaks. It was still running very rough so I took it to a garage for a diagnostic test and they say that its showing a temperature of -40. I've had to borrow a car until I can figure out wha...

Don't need prices now, had to phone my local dealer in the end as I'm pretty desperate for them. Thanks anyway.

Hi, I sent an email about 2 weeks ago, as I needed some parts, but yet to get a reply, so I'll post it on here instead. The parts numbers are 13541726634 - Rubber Boot 13621730087 - Protection Grid x 2(the diagram on realoem only shows 1, but the car seems to have 2, one either side of the MAF) 0712...

Just had another look, and the protection grids either side of the MAF are damaged, the one nearest the front of the car is very damaged while the other only has a small hole. could this be the cause of the problem?

it could be an MAF, not 100% sure what it's got actually

Hi, there. I have an M50 conversion, and when I started the car today, it was ok, but the more it was running, the more the idle changed. The revs stayed the same, but it sounded very rough to the point where the car actually shook. I checked all air pipes for leaks, all seemed ok. I had a quick loo...

I completely forgot I'd put these up on here. Is the number to quote still the same or will I need a new one? I need the same parts minus the handbrake cables.

What sort of size spacers can you get away with before it starts causing any issues? I will try them 1st and then if that doesn't work, I will have to get shorter springs

I've gone through a very reputable company to get them, but they never mentioned anything about springs, unless the wires have crossed somewhere, and manufacturers sent out the wrong ones.

Ive had a Gaz GHA coilover kit fitted. Its all on ok, and rear is set up nicely, but if I drop the front anymore it will rub the tyre.

Hi. I'm having issues with my new suspension (its sits too close to the wheels to be able to lower it) To be able to try and resolve it, I need to find out the offset of my wheels. I've looked up on the internet but cant seem to find anything. On the wheel I can see the width etc, but don't seem to ...

I got a clio servo fitted. but found it a bit confusing trying to explain to someone what was required. I've heard mention of a spacer but I've no idea where this actually goes. I was using the E30 Master Cylinder, should the clio one be fitted instead? I was thinking this as when the rod (the one w...

I've ordered a set of ATE calipers now, so hopefully they will be the right ones. I will paint them before they go on the car, it was something I was planning to do with the old ones anyway.

Thanks everyone, you helped a gal out

hey all, my front calipers need replacing, and I need some help figuring out which ones I need. the car has a 325 setup ( I recently bought 325 disks and pads and they fit fine) I rang up a local motor factors and they said they could be one of 3 options (Lucas, Girling and something like E10) I've ...

I have sent them an email, but was just wondering what people on here used/recommended. Not sure what you mean about spring sizes, I've never heard of different spring sizes, not unless people bodge it and chop em diy style, arnt they all just compressed more depending on how much they lower, and wi...

Hey :) Im about to buy a new suspension setup for the E30, after finally deciding what to get (Gaz Gold Coilover kit) I've found out that I will need to specify spring rates. I've been totally lost throughout the whole suspension search as it is, so now being asked spring rates has thrown me complet...
