Oh yes, full AC Schnitzer treatment. Just sorting some pics I took a couple of months ago as its in the spray shop at the mo having any slight marks that I've picked up recently removed. How much do you guys know about window seals?

Cheers pal. I'll tell you what it is, the rear windscreen and two rear vent windows seals look very perished. I've been told by somebody that it's not the seals that you can see but just plastic or rubber fillers to lose the gap from the body work to the window? Do you know how true this is?

It was the seals, and the rubber compound used... They failed to maintain their shape, causing seepage and internal dampness... This was corrected as you may have read...

There is a fix - Knife along the lower edge of the seal and fill with sealant or screen-bond - both flexible, this will push-out the seals to re-create their purpose...

Or better still, replace them with later model seals...

My quick-fix is cheaper, though... !!!

      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?
