Well good news checked coolant and it's at kolt now. Fired it up with no signs of leaking.

But why I'm here im int the process of checking various sensors. Should I hear the TPS click twice ?

Also failed to mention if I squeeze the top rad pipe I can hear air being either pushed into the expansions tank or out the cap. If I put my hear on the cap it's quite prominent. Again maybe it's just fluid from in from the top.

As said the rad is brand new the coolant and trickle of steam is 100% from the cap. I even removed the plastic plate from the top so I could see the bottom of the bleed screw and cap.

Thanks Brian I did have a feeling it could be over filled. Thanks dude

It doesn't boil over or anything like it would if it was over heating.

No I had it running for an hour and the level beryl moved. Last night it seemed to be just a tiny bit of steam that I could only see with a torch. But when I drive I do get a tiny leak.

Hi guys had a quick search and didn't come across any answer which suited my dilemma. I recently bought a new 91 316i m40 and it's a great little motor except I noticed the temp gauge was stuck at quarter and upon pulling the thermostat I soon realised it was A: stuck open and B: 77c instead of 88c....

Anyone ?

Hi guys, the rebuild is on going with the old girl and buying most of my bits and bats so I ain't running round like mad when I need them. I was looking at the Weld on tabs to correct camber and toe, but I think I want the 12mm riser bushes for the subframe. I'm after either aluminium or poly with s...

With all acc ?

What sort of price would the complete engine sell for.

Yeh it's looking that way. It was an idea why I had the complete 2 litre motor sat in the garage doing nothing.

Mmm would it be possible to use a b25 ecu with a reprogrammed EPROM ? Is this something that is readily available?

I don't want to spend much money on the doing the conversions or it would be easier to drop a b25 in.

Hi guys just after a few things clearing up really. I have read a few threads and guides ect and I'm getting confused with information. I know I require; ECU Crank Position Sensor & Brack Toothed crank wheel Engine bay loom Inc Injector Loom Cylinder Identification sensor Oil Level Sender Distributo...

No Tesco or mc Donald's car parks for me tracks only.

Am I likely to see any benefits from a 88 degrees thermostat as apposed to the 80 degree one I have ? ( just check ecp part number and it is a 80 degree one I have)

When I said hooning I really ment drifting on track but I no a few people frown upon it.

How would a Lower temp t stat make the pipes red hot but the gauge show at the 1/4 mark ?

Hi guys, Not having a problem as such looking for some advice. Basically never had any problems with my e30 323 over heating temp used to stay at half way and never really moved either way. But I've been having engine trouble so replaced coolant temp sensors to which my temp gauge now stays at aroun...

Hi dudes, My fuel pump is giving me a bit of Jipp I have a 55 litre tank with the fuel return on the pump but I also have a brand new pump that came with a previous car that is out of the 63litre with no return pipe on the pump. My question is will the actually pump fit any housing? Can I take the b...

what year is the car?

could be the air slider valve under the inlet manifold sticking.

take it off and blow threw it make sure it fine, also check for something simply like sticking throttle cable.

Mine is a 1985 316 with a 2.3 conversions which the engine came from a 1985 323.

Also if you have one check the cold start injector on the back of the inlet manifold it could be staying on when worm or be leaking.

I know early 323's have one but mine doesn't.

Check and change the coolant temp sensor which I what I'm doing this morning on my 85 323 engine. Mine also has that valve missing and never really caused me any problems tbh. The sensor is £10 from general traffic worth changing to Eliminate the problem I'm hoping it will help with my poor fuel eco...

Hi all I've been after installing the eccentric weld on adjuster onto my rear subframe but have not yet found a uk site who sells the slotted bracket?

And most American sites want $60 to post which is stupid.

Anybody got any ideas of where to buy in the uk ?

Still suffering poor fuel economy guys no ideas now.

My car doesn't have a cold start fuel injector has what appears to be an air valve

How do I check that an where is it ?

The tps does click sorry my bad hearing seems to be running smoother since I changed the dizzy cap and rotor so ill empty the tank and see how far I get on 40 ltrs

Yes mate everything is correct minus just that one pipe that is not connected that's suppose to go to number 1.

I also can't hear the tps click as you described which way do I need to turn the throttle stop ?

Hi thanks for the reply all the pipes are on the right way on the distributor and all vacuum pipes where renewed so IDE say it isn't that what's causing my bad mpg Engine I believe is a 1985. What's the idle mixture screw ? More info on this mate would be appreciated, I've just changed the dizzy and...

Bump ? Don't make this another non reply thread of mine

Any body ?

Hi guys recently fitted a m20b23 into my m10 carby everything is up and running but I'm suffering from poor fuel economy I out £40 and I've just got 69 miles out of it before it popped onto red. Any it appears I have a vaccumm pipe hanging off and from this diagram http://i1211.photobucket.com/album...

Hi guys, this problem has literally just switched on been driving the car all day without problems until 2 miles from home. It's still running the standard pierburg 2be carb which is a bit iffy and uses a lot of fuel but for some reason if input my foot flat to the floor 100% throttle it just bogs d...

Hi guys, im gunna buying a donor e30 to m20 my 316 as the carb is knackered. Ive read the thread about pin 20 (if im right?) But my question is does my 316 carby have to same engine loom connector as the other e30s do?

Not a problem if not as ill take the loom out the donor car.

Cheers[/img]

Pay someone to do it for you, did mine 2 weeks back took two days to get the race out after destroying 1 metre of m16 thread bar! Ended up cutting it with the dremal and cracking the race open to get it off. Thread bar works well getting the new bearing in, also make sure the hub is clean and ber fr...
