E30 Zone

Slowly but surely getting this back to life... How it looked when I got it: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-gCMGvLCvmBU/VDwpQ6nDF6I/AAAAAAAAC6U/HJw-fFXz9F8/s640/blogger-image--1528100661.jpg Couple more jobs on going and done today...

Hi, A bit of a basic question, but which style of warning triangle sits in this tray beside the first aid kit. It's a 1990 E30 325i Convertible. I picked one up thinking it was the right one, but turned out it was too long. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-4wcefhmox0A/VOcQ-w01BgI/AAAAAAAADIc/XGs_n...

Sorted

Anyone???

Serial is: BP8893A4642821

Thanks
Alan

Hi, I just picked up a clean Blaupunkt Montreux RDR 49 that I got at my local recycling centre. Naturally it didn't have a code, and I was thinking about putting it in my E30, so I was hoping if any one could help with the code? Cheers Alan https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-CNFst1gi_34/U93pziyOBTI/...

My elastic was completely dried out when I got my E30, which makes lowering the hood a pain. I was thinking about stitching in elastic directly on to the straps instead of the bungies. Might look aesthetically a bit nicer. I'll post pics of the attempt when I get it done.

Bingo!!!

Thanks again

Brilliant! Definately looks like that C136 connection. BK/VI -> VI/GY BK/RD -> BK/GY Looking at the 1990 electrical trouble shooting manual, the C136 connector view is a 4 pin plug. I guess it tells the MCU that the AC is on. Just need to find where it's physically located. :-) Big thanks again for ...

I've got AC so probably something I've missed...

Any idea what part it connects to?

Hi, In my idiocracy of trouble shooting the Automatic Heater Control in my 1990 325ic when putting the centre console back in I noticed a stray cable hanging loose. It's hanging about 15cm out from under the fan control so could go anywhere. :( Two wires into a 4 pin plug (2 blank). One wire is blac...

I've never found the circuitry in question amongst those manuals, or anywhere else, I'm afraid. One worrying thing in the pic. is those two blue connectors - they don't look like anything I've ever seen used by BMW, suggesting that someone might have been there before, making mods. If the fixings a...

Btw Thanks Brian for the info... I'll try and see follow the loom a bit and see where it takes me.

I did find another temperature sensor on the drivers footwell close to the chime box. Cleaned the dust off that sensor but haven't done any measurements on it to see if it's a good connection of not.

Those two blue connectors are soon to be gone... Previous owners radio installation...

Thanks Ben, I saw those also, but for whatever reason (but I'll double check tonight) that the automatic heater control wasn't covered. I'm guessing since they're for North American cars and I don't think they had the automatic heater control option. But like I said I'll double check them to be sure...

Here's the automatic heater control unit.

If anyone has a way to diagnose issues with it, or what sensors on the car are dependent on it I'd really appreciate the help.

I agree with taking it apart so you see what's up. I also have a wonky seat, and suspected a broken bracket. And it was: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-hzJySUTJWJ4/Uy_K9k59kPI/AAAAAAAACns/KJ62ocrHgHc/s640/blogger-image--1170814772.jpg Unfortunately I also saw this about 5 minutes later: https://...

Hi, First post here after getting my first E30. It's a 1990 325i convertible, it's been sitting unused for a few years and I'm slowly getting through the list if things todo. Here's how the car looked when I found it, and I had to try and save it: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-6hHQhe5GOmk/Uy8WQ...
