Creaver 55 Report post Posted September 22, 2008 my 535 ones work... , mine make a noise, and I can barely tell they're doing anything. When parked up against a wall and using it, the drivers side headlight tilts a tiny bit, is this right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVLE30 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2008 nah they dont make any noise. it doesn't look like there is any fluid in the pipes... what the hell sorta fluid does it take though???!! my 3 previous E30's had them working... but not this one....

kiwi535 538 Report post Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) sounds like the e30 ones are different...the e 34 are mechanical,there isnt any fluid involved...Ian it doesnt need to move much..but i can see definite movement in mine..i will do an experiment and tell you how much movement there is parked say 1 m from a wall....

Yeah the E34 ones are electrical (i had a e34 525IASE Motorsport). and yeah you can definately see the difference in them. these ones are annoying me though, cause i keep having to screw them in and out manually. and its not so easy to do when its dark!

Carl 3 Report post Posted September 23, 2008 Mine have never worked and I don't know of anyone's E30 tilts working, ever, just recently removed the mechanism from my car and the fluid didn't seem to be anything special. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
