earon 32 Report post Posted February 21, 2015 Hi guys would anyone be able to recommend a good automotive electrical guy? Just need a few wiring bits for components tested and maybe cut with the spare part and soldered up. Thanks in advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m325i 709 Report post Posted March 15, 2015 Hey - quick question, My washer bottle is clogged up, and it's a real PITA to get to the bottle and pump screen. Is there anything (liquid) I can put in the reservoir to unclog it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gjm 3258 Report post Posted March 16, 2015 I know a couple of guys in the UK used either a non-caustic sink and plughole unblocker, or a mild solution of drain cleaner. I do wonder where the solution that resulted went to - I can't believe they used it on the windscreen. Could even damage paintwork, perhaps? I wouldn't bother - I'd take it apart and clean it out properly. That way you know it's done. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m325i 709 Report post Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks GJM - yea too risky on paint. Another quick one.... I have projector fogs, but want to go back to OEM. However the projectors are H3 and just a 'spade' terminal connection. If I want stock (9006) - do I just use an adapter like this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
louistan3 1 Report post Posted April 19, 2015 Can anyone tell me where the number 3 hose goes? Or where number 4 is? It's for an M50b25 e36. What does it do? It seems like the previous owner has left this hose hanging on the side and is spitting oil every now and then. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

louistan3 1 Report post Posted April 21, 2015 Whereabouts? I can't seem to locate any unconnected hoses on the intake boot. That's where I was looking as I found a forum post that mentioned it but still couldn't find it... Is it supposed to have oil? Whats the purpose of it? Thanks for answering.

benpaul12 62 Report post Posted May 6, 2015 Despite it not being due for a service just yet, the fact I've never had it serviced means it needs one to give me peace of mind. As I've just sunk $600 into the tyres I'd like to wait a wee bit longer before taking it in. In the meantime is anyone able to enlighten me... My 130 is doing two things: - The idle is not rough, it's just not still, even with the AC off it's fluctuating about 100 revolutions up/down and this can be felt/heard, this is not just a morning thing, it's doing it all the time. - Driving around 80 km/h when the car is very slowly increasing in speed in the 1800-2000 rev range it feels as if it's not steady, it's kind of softly lurching ahead every 2 seconds - not a constant or smooth increase, it's not bad, it's just noticeable. Any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted May 6, 2015 does the idle fluctuate while ur at the traffic lights with gear in D and foot on the brake? does it do it in N or P as well? check air mass sensor? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gjm 3258 Report post Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) It needs to be scanned first before you do anything As Glenn says. A scan is (in my mind) both a positive and a negative aspect of living with a modern car - the scan is necessary, but should reveal anything significant. In the interest of more information, do you find the gear shift from 1->2 can be less smooth than other changes? Edited May 6, 2015 by gjm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
