Hi guys, thought id give this site a go, was on e46 fanatics, have posted 3 topics and not a single hi or answer.

bought my first bm about a month ago, was al japanese before, sold my starlet glanza v turbo and swopped for 318ci coupe. and i love it!

one ov the sensore on the back has gone, the sensors arnt the ones set straight into the bumper, all foyur are housed by a black plastic sort of vent/grill looking thing,. does this just pop off to get the sensors out?

cheers guys,

i hope i have more luck on here!!!

Hey, yep its the pre-facelift one, the sensors are bmw ones, not an add on. Did the tp.icking noise test, and all seem to tick when its i reverse. Fuse maybe? Or wud a knakerd fuse make it not work at all?

P.s its same bumper as this one. Its the blak plastic trim i need to get off, or do the sensors just pop out.

      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?

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Morning Andrew I normally disconnect the Neg lead only, some folks disconnect both a few even say disconnect both and touch them together. Goes without saying both sensor plugs need to be checked and a squirt of contact cleaner applied never hurts 😅 Dave

      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.
