Hi

My friend has an Jap import '98 318is which im pretty sure has a Jatco A5S300J in it. Do these use a different 'lifetime' fluid from the GM\ZF boxes?, are you able to change this fluid for Dextron 3 in these or not ?

Cheers

Jared

Very nice man, wish i had one

Dropping my rear axle soon so figure i could use an LSD if anyone got one. Medium Case

Wouldn't of thought anyone would said anything. Cheers man

Come to think about it that is L-Jetronic im sure & didnt have DME, someone might be able to confirm?.

DME(Digital Motor Electronics) is the main engine computer relay

Could be something simple as DME or fuel pump relay if you cant hear the pump running

Quite possibly, easy and cheap to change it esp if its already old cant go wrong.

Just ordered me a set of sway bars from Ireland engineering 22mm Front & 19mm Rear along with some bushes. Should be a good improvement, my rear end is loose as after that meet .

Bilstein HD's are fairly cheap also

My old E34 535i was upto 360,000km before i sold it. Original motor, still quiet, running & driving well. Built to last thats for sure.

lol ok then i think $500 is decent

Can measure tomorrow and guess the weight but no clue on offset

4x

Just pulled off an 89 E30, drove fine. Was running on some hubcentric rings

Pretty good cond, no major curbing etc. Tyres 2x Toyo Proxies 4(about 2-3mil tread) & 2x Goodyear LS2000 (4-5 mil) wear all even.

Taking offers.

I have the same problem as you too, fluctuates in between 1\4 & 1\2 but never goes above 1\2

I replaced near everything bar hoses and aux fan sensor(thermostat, waterpump, viscous fan,radiator,coolant sensors dme and engine. instrument cluster even) while most of that needed doing.

But unlike you there are no signs to indicate the car is overheating & could be a dodgy ground on the sensor as much gauge acts a bit weird when cold.

I keep meaning to measure the temp coolant hoses near the sensors to get an idea if the gauge reading right or not.

Id be doing the thermostat first thou if it hasn't been done already.

already complained

The idiot back to his old tricks again, removes my bid and increases reserve. Not that anyone is surprised anymore

I put the genuine 3k bid on in attempts to restore it to its former glory. He'll probably he'll withdraw it again and if that the case will report him. I was bidding on this when it was 1st listed in Wellington by the previous owner, reserve was 3.5k then. Cost a bit to fix the mutilations.

I'll take the powerplant, the rest can go on the nearest scrap heap

I had 3.73 with my 325i but replaced it with a 3.64 due to bearing noise. Dont notice the difference at all. 3.64 & 3.73 are good alrounders. My 325i does 2500rpm in 5th at 100kph with the 3.64

Not sure about the thermostat didn't look, same thing happened with the old thermostat in so im pretty sure its right. Fan seems to work alright as good as an old fan does, if its anything like the E34\E32 you know when its on.

Ill replace the sensor and hope that does it.

thanks

My Temp gauge is reading just above the 1\4 mark while highway type driving, when left to idle slowly moves up & sits dead on 12 'o' clock position.

I thought it was the thermostat so replaced it with a new one and still the same thing.

Im thinking maybe coolant temp sensor is faulty?, any thoughts appreciated. Cheers
