NooB Saying hi....

Hey

I've had an E36 318i for the last 2 years, but yesterday went old skool by buying an '87 325 Sport

I have a few questions to ask though.

Firstly, the front indicators don't seem to work, all the other do but they flash quickly (have checked bulbs and fuses)

Secondly, how do I reset the service lights onthe E30, which pin do I ground

And lastly, the OBC is constantly flashing "UHR", what does this mean and how do I get it back to normal?

Thanks, and a great and helpful looking site!

good choice mate

and welcome!

m-tec 1s are the best imo!

normally when you have a bulb out the others will flash faster, so i reckon once you get your front ones working again then they will all slow down to the right speed. as for resetting the service lights, i think its best you buy the proper tool as ive been told you can do some damage to your ecu if you get it wrong

car looks very nice too!

Hi, welcome and nice motor mine's very similar, 325's rock

As for the service lights jump the two pins shown on the picture below with a piece fo wire, ( the plug is next to the inlet manifold). You may need to do it a couple of times. Failing that buy a reset tool especially if you intend on servicing it your self.

Edit: cant get the photo to work, might be because it's a bmp, just use the link.

No worries mate, raced anyone in it yet?

Post Sat Apr 23, 2005 1:58 pm

no mate, still cleaning it!!!

Any idea what pin number they are which I need to jump?

Post Sat Apr 23, 2005 2:02 pm

1) dunno what pin number just do a sketch of the pic and take it out to the car you can't go wrong.

2)If your going to race leave it DIRTY

Every one knows the dirties girls are the fastest
