Re: Help!! No Power windows

RJ
The buttons mentioned are below the steering column, on what I call the knee panel or cover.
The dashboard to me is where the instrument panel is? You may have one or two buttons.

Re: OBC Chiming - what does it mean?

I suggest that while you're under the car, that you check the upper & lower control arms for looseness or, if you see any separating of the rubber bushings, change them!! Now's the time! But, have everything in hand in advance. Again, it'll eliminate you going back to the job. Same for the rear ...

Re: A/C compressor belt tension

I hope after all this, that you did change the belt?? :wink:

Also, for all of my compressor & alternator belt adjustments I always used a two or three ft. crowbar. Always! More leverage makes it easier.

Re: OBC Chiming - what does it mean?

Again, forgive me! I forgot you're a computer geek. Glad to know about your bluetooth set-up too. Also, in one of my early postings to you, I suggested what to replace in your suspension. Knowing what you've replaced, that job won't be too difficult for you. Just gather everything before you dive in...

Re: Spasso's '84 Euro 635, #8183039

OH, Man!!
Other than black, Taurusrot is my fav color! Very rare E28 Euro on top of that? You did good! =D>
You might even be able to bring back the color? Interesting how people forget to feed the leather.
Clean dash too! I smell a 5spd conversion coming very soon. 8-[

Re: Car just died on me

Ken; From the peanut gallery, this sounds different from why you posted but, the upper hose being hotter than the lower hose means that things are not flowing properly! If this happens after a good warm-up, either the thermostat is not opening at the proper time or your radiator is plugged up. Or, w...

I think you answered your own question when you pulled the dipstick but, nothing changed!
It appears you may have a vacuum leak!
These cars run closed systems so any air getting in creates havoc!
Good luck,,,,Greg

Thanx Duracel79. I just forwarded the address to him.
There seems to be a lot of European entries.

Might you know of one with more stateside address's?
He lives in California and because of the very strict smog issues,
it's best if he buys a Cali car.

My same friend is looking for a website that includes something similar to a 1980 320I.
I just gave him 'R3vlimited.com' but is there one specifically for the one right after the '76 2002?
Thanx in advance,,,,Greg

I assume you looked for stamps & labels? You said they 'came with' but, were they installed? Also, I believe if you dye them & feed them some good food, they'll last a while. Or you can have some custom sheepskins made & they'll feel really nice summer and winter. My Buster has one for t...

Guys, I had to check with the Grip union hall before I commited. The suction cups are Grip equipment.

We also had 'C' stand knuckle...
