Got a question for you Jose, What did you end up doing with the other rubber hoses in the system? Like the suction from the rear AC between the fender and the Y fitting? Did you replace the one under the back seat as well? Another question I have in general, is there was some talk earlier about the ...

I'll try to see if the Sangen tech support guys have any idea. Still a little bit wary of the $110 online fan and shroud. Can't find a good used one yet either. Maybe I can find somebody like FCP selling them with a better warranty. Let us know what you end up doing, I am in the same boat, getting ...

Either the airbag, or the brake pad sensors,.. If it is the airbag, I would sure think about doing something about them, be an unpleasant surprise

Just to make a point, sportseats for an e24 are indeed hard to come by... I looked for a long time for mine and ended up getting them out of England...one benefit of that is that the drivers seat is like new :D The only thing I could find in the States was pretty worn out and beyond the point of cle...

Expansion valves can be removed and flushed from both ends. The rear expansion valve actually comes completely apart, so cleaning is a sure fix. Don't replace the evaporator. Get a flush kit and wash it out with their chemicals. Then do a final flush with acetone. Follow all safety precautions of c...

Looks like a B35 motor to me, so 6/87 or later.. earlier registration for tax reasons? Not sur how that works in the UK

Do some searching for a write up by "DaHose" (Jose), He did a very nice write up on how to do the rear bearings, as part of a total overhaul of the rear sub frame...I would not describe this as a fun project..

As a stupid question, for you guys converting to 134, do you replace the expansion valves as well? As for using new fittings and hoses, that makes nothing but sense to use those to plumb a new compressor in, but how do you tie into the existing hardlines ? The ones I see the rubber hose is crimped o...

[quote="hornhospital"]As far as I understand, the ECU for an automatic will have a different number (not 059 last three numbers). Stick with an 059 and you'll have no trouble. Not sure that is entirely true I know for the '88 and up, a -179 replaces all of the different part numbers, manua...

Be aware that some of the later cars had a fuel cooling option that Brucey mentioned. The fuel line runs under the drivers floorboard and up the firewall to the back of the fuel rail, then out of the fuel pressure regulator at the front of the fuel rail it runs to the firewall and into the scuttle ...

Looks to be an early '88. Model year car, should have a B35 motor and motronic 1.1.. With a manual tranny and the sport seats, be worth that for parts....
Pete

I'll send you a pm Ralph
How do these fit a e24? Will the offset work ok?
Pete

As a side question, when you do the conversion, is it nessesary to change out both the expansion valves as well? The front one would be a royal bi--h to get too, I imagine it would require a mayor dash disassemble .
Sorry for the off-topic

These are the old and the new relays, looks like my old one is just like the one Bruce posted...might just have to get one of those , obviously the original BMW replacement didn't work out so well

Payment sent

The other thing that installing an M-Tech steering wheel will do( beside not having to cringe every time you take those RR crossings too fast ) is it puts the Physical steering wheel closer to the turn signal and wiper stalks. This is due to the Airbag wheel being "deeper " to accommodate ...

do you really want to use nice wheels on crap roads? cheers As always, Brucey provides the most common sence, as alway, however the heart wants what the heart wants :D I will probably throw the 16 in hers on her for now, with some decent tires and keep an eye out for something " cooler "....

I bought a set of BMW -90 style 5, 2 piece wheels from a member here, and they are 8x17.They are the kind with the 36 bolts per wheel that hold the 2 half's together. Long story short, roads around here are in serious disrepair and I would like to put on some 16 Inch shoes in order to get some more ...

I did the exact thing on my "88. Like stated above, not sure how well I would trust first year, first generation airbags, that are now almost 30 year old. Nothing like having that airbag go off in your face going a little to fast across the rail road tracks ..... I disconnected the battery over...

My OEM BMW Main Relay crapped-out almost right out of the box also.[/quote]

What did you end up doing? Get another one? Different vendor? Part number?
Hate to order another one from the same place only to get one from the same batch
Pete

So after doing some relay replacement as preventive maintenance, because all of my relays were original, my brand new main relay from BMW crapped out after 400 miles :( Car refused to start, would crank fine but not light off...After some head scratching replaced brand new main relay with the old 19...

I'll take a set, let me know where and when on the money.
Pete

Interested, so am I to assuming correctly that the brackets you are selling are similar to to ones posted in the "mye28" link by users "Demetk " and "reesesboot"?
Pete

Interested, would like more info, link to mye28 not working.....
Pete

Any updates? Timeframe? Place to send $$$?
Getting exited about this......
Pete
