Hello

I was a little curious to see if I could find a B.M.W club, so tapped it in and up it came!!

I have never had a "Beemer" before, but I always liked the "Z3" but was way out of my price range, I got left a little money in a will and decided to dip my toe into the market and see what I could find, I have ended up with a 2000 model, 2.8 litre version with a very low millage of just 40,000 miles!!, my wife has now got control of my other car a Ford Fusion!! lol,I have had a few little jobs to get seen to to get her back up to spec, but she is in good nick, and have had sooo much fun driving her about

I am looking forward to getting next year, when the warmer weather returns to get the full benefit, but it will be used as my daily run around as I am a firm believer in using them for what the were designed for....driving!!

Hope to get to know some of you, at some point!!

Kind Regards

Tim

      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?
