dubman 39 Report post Posted June 3, 2011 It will not bolt right in to a E30 trunklid you will need to slot or drill new holes. what the seller said. plus you'll get overlap at the two edges. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucan 196 Report post Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) Check battery condition with a multimeter. Should be at least 12v...Are you playing music loudly before you turn the car off? Check ground strap, from the sump to the chasis rail. Drivers side. Both those contributed to my starting problems a while ago.

Lucan 196 Report post Posted August 2, 2011 This little guy is connected to the Air Temp sensor in the brake duct.. The 2 wires going off the back of it though... I assume one is for the ECU and the other goes to the OBC, does the wire going up the passenger side of the car under the fuse box go to the OBC? And if its cut it won't make any difference to engine management right? Also, drained my Radiator...Head Gasket? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slowe30 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2011 its a e30 318i 1989 got a m40 in it all ways had idle issues nothing to much to worry about though have put in a tested afm and idle control valve improved but still has "lumpy cams" as i like to say also has never liked high revs this is really annoying me, not the fact that im trying to use them the whole time just cus ive tried to fix it with several things and its just bugging me now ive replaced plugs, coil, computer, de-cat(improved a little but still bad) fuel filter, cleaned out the intake (must have been dirty cus it started idling at 2k till i adjusted it down), air filter. few other things aswell but cant remember them at the moment it also takes quite a while to start after its sat for a while dont know it this will have anything to do with it tho its as if its bogging down, after about 5k revs it just bogs out, if i change gear just after its done it it bogs in the next gear for a few seconds aswell any help will be greatly apreciated thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted August 17, 2011 If the sensor has been activated by worn disc pads, the pads and sensor need replacing. Pays to measure, machine or replace the disc rotors. On that model it should be just plug and play. If not you need to go into service reset without resetting the service lights to clear the fault code.

tire 10 Report post Posted August 17, 2011 My golfs timing is weird at idle. The timing mark jumps around with every fire both to the advance and the retard side randomly. What could be causing this? Dizzy cap, rotor, and plugs are new. The mark then disappears off to the right when rev'd. The motor is basically the same as an M10.. 1.8 single cam with all the bosch engine electronics of that era. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
