Hi, can anyone help me? I appear to have an oil leak coming from the oil filter housing, the garage has said that I require a new housing unit but BMW no longer sell this, I have looked online and cannot find one anywhere but during further investigation I noticed that some seals can be replaced ( for sale on American websites only), could someone please give me some wise words of wisdom regarding this, thanks Paula

Welcome to BMWOC

What car do you have? I can see it is an E30 but what model?

Hi and thanks for the welcome, I have a 325i auto on a 1990 plate, am slowly working my way around fixing all the little things that keep cropping up!

325i E30s have M20 engines installed. M20 engines don't have oil filter housings as they use disposable oil filters.

Can you get a picture of what you mean?

Hi, just a quick update, have managed to source the seal kits to repair the housing, so all good again! Cheers. Lulu

Still confused. Your filter screws onto the side of your block. There is no housing. What kit did you get?

      Copy Ignition Key?

      Hi Stu, sorry I missed you reply, thanks for that. Seems I have an odd problem. The key reader can't read the existing key. Even though it works fine. Nevertheless, I got a copy made and sure enough, it doesn't work! Is it possible to disable the immobiliser?

      Hi Dave, I thought you would dive into that one. I have found a reference to it in the book and it would appear its connected via the computer on the I drive but so far I have not been able to give it the kiss off life. i can follow the instructions so far and then nothing. I will keep trying and if your interested the first reference is on page 85 of my handbook . thanks Paneuro.

      ZF8HP service

      Good morning all, So, having had my car for a little over 6 months I decided to give the transmission an overdue service. Parts obtained from Autodoc for £205 for ZF service kit, a fill plug & mechatronic sleeve (Just in case) Job wasn't that bad to do. I even found the source of an intermittant rattle from un undershield. Once done I cleared the adaptions & drove up the road, instantly the shifts were noticeably smoother, not that they were too bad before, just slightly less refined. ZF recommend it to be done at 60K I believe, my car has covered 79K miles. I might do just a fluid flush at 100K miles, we'll see...

      Morning Andrew This is a new one for me as well. I can onlt think something under the gearstick is either not plugged back in or loose Dave
