How is the oil pressure? If its low then this could be a prob!

Even if its ok you could still have an oil channel blockage ! Does the temp needle rise to 3 quarter?

... Just a thought...

thanks guys. the temp is fine and oil pressure. im gessing for the compreshion to be off the valve seals gone or some thing. but for it to have better compreshion with the oil cap off is new to me. odd that she runs fine anyway no missing nothing ?

That is a weird one mate, but if the valve stem seals were duff then you would have smoke when starting her up...

Try this... Start her from cold and go to the exhaust pipe and notice the smell from cold and later when warm, also put you palm over it or near it and see what it leaves on your hand... Might or might not help though mucker :mellow:

It could simply be the ECU adjusting the engine to suit... For example, it will alter mixture to the cylinders to compensate...

If you cannot see any problems and I cannot suggest or help find one... Then there isn't one B)

      105C thermostat replacement

      As I understand the wiring diagrams and operation Item 9 on the thermostat housing is the sensor which sends its signal to the ECU for interpretation with information from the map sensor. Information from item 12 (1st drawing ) is also used to provide average temp across the cooling system. As far as I am aware the Thermostst is independent of the sensors and operated by expanding wax material internally

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Errr not clear here Donald Plastic "L's" with short rubber hoses ??? Distilled water/Ionised water should only be used in an old style lead acid battery. The Rad and engine coolining system should be filled with the correct coolant mix to prevent cavitation and the danger of freezing in low temps. Coolant should be part of the cars regular maintenance and changed every 3 years or so. At that time all hoses and connectors should be inspected and changed where necessary to keep everything in tip top condition. Changing parts can cause as many problems as you may think your solving

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Update: I checked my battery and it charged in 5 minutes, so I don't have to find another alternator. All seems to be OK except for the plastic "L"s with a short rubber hose that bypass the HV/AC solenoid. Those get clogged after @ 150,000-190,000 miles (if distilled water wasn't used) and cause air pockets that try to burst radiators. I have a few more brass "L"s, so now I can throw the plastic ones away. I have to be careful I don't fog the windows though, without heat or cool.

      105C thermostat replacement

      You are absolutely right. The strange thing is that when I put the chassis number on the realoem it shows that the temp sensor is not applicable on my vehicle. I will physically check for a sensor. In the meantime, do you think that the removal of the MAP activated thermostat will effect the temp gauge on the dial instrument item 6? I am tempted to add a dummy resistor , 11.5ohms - 13watts , to simulate the MAP thermostat. Your thoughts?
