e30 with m52 oil cooler adaptor

[jimbom30cab]

Hi,

M52B28 fitted

Had fault codes read today

217 CAN
68 Tank vent

Bit of googling revealed 217 is to do with EWS I think (which is deleted) and 68 tank vent, which i assume isn't connected now as it has an old fashioned vent to atmosphere vent

Would I be right?

Thanks

Correct

Awesome !

Thanks Dan

Is this me being a wally....my mate cleared the fault codes today and i swear it drives better

Or maybe i just love my e30

You must still be enthusiastic for it Jim

Took mine for a run out today, sun was shining paint was gleaming and the exhaust was roaring, love it

[jimbom30cab]

Awesome, i bet it looked epic in the nice weather

Dan, just above my alternator there is a adaptor plate fitted. It has 2 screw connections. Attached is a long rubber hose, it just snakes about the engine bay and back in. I think it's a oil pipe and perhaps a make-shift oil cooler ?? It's just a long rubber hose

Anyway, it's cracked quite badly so i'm thinking i might just remove the hose add an oil cooler

Would you recommend any ?

Thanks

Got a pic?

Id just change the filter housing for a non cooler type TBH, unless your turning it into a track weapon?

...and if you're getting rid of the cooler type one, can I put my hand up for first dibs??
