Hi, time for a thread.... I've had my e46 m3 now for 18 months and she has been a gem... 50,000 miles full history and a proper gearbox. Thorney exhaust system with sports cats, carbonaro induction pipe and of course de limited and re mapped.. The car has been very well looked after and garaged most of its life. She pulls very well indeed and is a lovely car in every way.

All was going well until two weeks ago and she got damaged by winds so I decided to get her back to new condition

I was slightly angry to say the least and the builders responsible have insurance to cover the repair. I managed to convince my insurers that I wanted my favorite paint shop To sort her out and they finally agreed . Then I made a few requests and added some money to make the repair go a little further

This was Friday

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.

      105C thermostat replacement

      Not sure what engine your running but there should be a Temp sensor in the Hose from the Rad to the water pump then there should be a Temp sensor in the housing for the Thermostat Both are shown in realoem for the 3.5 V8 I thought the V8 was the only one with dual use sensor on the Thermostat housing but stand to be corrected Dave

      105C thermostat replacement

      I have checked realoem and it gives me no temperature sensor option , which is strange. Also what I did was to remove the map thermostat and disconnected the resistance heating that is inside the thermostat and replace it with a 88C from an x5. Nothing else has been changed. The strange thing is that it run like that for 3 weeks in August. When I start the car last week the temperature dial was going to max before dropping to normal value. And that happened only when cold. When warm the dial was showing the right temp. I also saw that the map for the thermostat was engaged when the car was running cold which made me think that there may be a connection between the thermostat dial and the map thermostat not being connected.
