530D Engine Swap In Another Car Anyone Done It

[G4VHD]

I know the rears are on front and rear, not sure if they are on both sides

[G4VHD]

ABS is on all 4

[Ginger Tom]

The abs sensors double up as speed sensors when used on the wheels

[Guest DazH]

Isn't the ABS on a separate ECU ?

[Ginger Tom]

Yeh but the ecu's talk to each other and trade information via can-bus/can-communication links.

So does that mean 4 speed sensors. So have i some how got to keep the speed sensors.same as the ABS got to keep that as well.any look on what to do with the speedp. I think the trouble is i want auto.To be honest i have been thinking of getting a diesel out of somethink else or a ford v8 But thats not what i want.thanks

[Ginger Tom]

It all depends on the gearbox, if there is a speed sensor on the output shaft you don't need the abs but DO need a decent auto electrician to get it to run properly, if there isn't a sensor on the back of the box you will need to keep the abs and the gearbox ecu so you can use the gearbox. This is all based on the ASSUMPTION that the gearbox is electronically controlled, some older automatics use valves and gearbox oil pressure to decide what gear to select.

I havnt got the engine or box out yet. What do i need to look for on the box thanks

[Ginger Tom]

Where the prop meets the back of the gear box, if you can up load some picks of the box I'll have a look and see if I can spot it for you

[fordf350camper]

Whats this bit its under all the four wheel arch.Is it the abs sensor.I am trying to look for the speed sensor that tells the auto gearbox to change gear.I What does it look like.Thanks

[G4VHD]

This is the speed sensor

Not sure what that is, maybe something for self levelling suspension??

[fordf350camper]

Yep i see the speed sensor but is there somethink called rings that do the speed what do they look like are they like a cog.Do you no what the engine and the gear box weight is thanks again

[fordf350camper]

I now have the total wiring out.I am going to use the bmw rear and front suspension.Bmw brakes all bmw.SO i will the know the auto box will work.
