If its just the glass and not the whole mirror, one of the retainer clips may not be clicked in properly or the clip on the back of the mirror glass is broken. The electric drive head could also be faulty. You can check this after taking the mirror glass off.... if in doubt or your not confident in doing it yourself.....Jeff Grey

Is the noise still there if you run the engine with the drive belts off ??? Have you used a stethescope on it to isolate where the noise is coming from ??

The Vanos unit works off engine oil pressure and is activated by solenoids. The diagram in the opening thread shows the unit concerned. Where are these wires and valves you are talking about ?? And could you also explain where this filter is ?? There are no OEM replacement internal parts for any of the BMW Vanos units

Friends are what life is all about..thanks

Bugger...looks like I killed this thread ... it was getting so interesting as well

Reading books and applying experience is like chalk & cheese. Let me have a look, or if your too far away, get it checked by a BMW agent, not the local garage. If you want advice or help....ring me

A dutchman, using German flag colours on his nice BMW project car that supports Waikato ?? What can I say ???............nuffin

Forgot about that... New BMW product listing... OEM Durex washer nozzle covers

Divorce could be a solution... makeup costs more than looking after a nice BMW...probably more fun as well....and you wont get wet

Your thread title is bordering on Blasphemy (spelling)

This getting more like "This is your life" I think we should get back on subject

Where are you situated ??

I was in the NZ Army...QA Wai/Wek Squadron RNZEME. I was a tank comander with the LAD I commanded a APC #65, most of the time I drove it and commanded it at the same time. I did back up with the territorials. Had a great time the 3 yrs I was in there. Missed out on Vietnam .. bloody govt pulled the plug. I was all ready to go, used up all my leave..got a sh*t load of jabs and was told 3 weeks before I was meant to leave it was all cancelled

Me ??? What are you on about Peter ??

Do I ever tell lies ? My descendants on the list: Pakinui (Mrs William Harpur) Kaumatua Number 300...file number 322 Te Whe Number 1286

Just dont be too aggressive with the blaster though....you'll damage the cover. And plug up all threaded and unthreaded holes. Best to put bolts in the threaded holes and bolts, nuts with washes on all the unthreaded holes to protect those areas

Yellow, red, black = German flag colours

Its a one way non return valve...would work better with the correct valve

I'm just curious as to what beach I'm going to be sent to, to patrol ? (joke) I've just recently registered in Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu I'm a descendant from the original 1848 Ngai Tahu Kaumatua Whakapapa list

Needs to be scanned. Either exhaust or inlet camshaft position sensor or the airmass sensor. Guessing wont fix it. Get it scanned. These faults sometimes wont throw up an engine check light. Can check it for you today if you like

Buy it back Gus

You could try Ebay as well

Never pressure bleed a brake or clutch system that has a plastic resevoir, you run the risk of blowing the resevoir off if you get the pressure wrong and have brake fluid everywhere. Always vacuum bleed. Or do it with two people pumping the pedal and bleeding the appropriate cylinder. You cant use a solid pipe in place of the hose. It will transmit engine noise and vibration. I think you will find that the clutch hose was replaced with a braided steel hose, not solid. The dual mass flywheel is sprung and when faulty causes clutch judder. I'm sure thats not the problem he is experiencing though

It will be ready for you today Matt WOF (VTNZ)....done Cambelt, thermostat, fan belt, antifreeze.... Done (all OEM parts used)
