fixed, i'll adjust the renewal job to run more often

Finally the fronts are done... I'm going to get the fluid flushed and a re-bleed soon, the pedal's not as high and hard as I'd like and, whilst the existing fluid looks okay, I have no idea how old it is. Regardless of the tools or technique I use I've never been able to successfully bleed brakes so the pedal feel is probably operator incompetence. I did do a good job of getting brake fluid everywhere though! 👍

A great run, Audi managed to have no problems for 5 weeks. Now dealing with a mystery battery drain issue... Battery tested healthy, alternator charging it fine but then drains overnight. Wife is working today (AKL Anniversary) so had to drag me out of bed at 630 to jump start it but no luck (leads may not be big enough to revive a dead battery and the Audi battery is literally twice the size of the one in the E46). So she had to take the E46 - first time she's driven it in a year, got to hear the clutch riding and engine screaming up the road - sounded pretty damn good though 🤣

I think so (if one can put nostalgia style aside), its still 'analogue' and thanks to Takata / BMW, I'm rolling with 2020 front airbags in my 20 year old car

Spotted in AKL CBD last night.

Airbag was done a long time ago. Might in the pile of docs that was in the glove box or not.

Another ticking all the boxes: 318 / Sedan / Auto / Only a little bit of Rust / Cambelt done (17 years ago) Good buying at sub $15k https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/2955793008?bof=xBSkn149
