Re: FS E24 CS/CSi Door Card Vinyl Natur Beige

Good point. Door pockets I do have but I would probably need them for myself. Speaker grills are already being sold. Vinyl is dirty. I was not cleaning it up. I left it to anyone interested. It was taken from cards which were very deformed. I do appreciate the interest but I think this energy is for...

Re: E24 auto check system

It would be interesting to see results with variable resistor but it probably needs to be wirewound type.

Might be someone on this forum will check it. It is far on my To Do list unfortunately. :-?

Merry Christmas and Happy 2022!

Re: OBC Decal Repair Kit

Good idea ...

Do you have a picture of OBC illuminated in the dark after your repair?

Can you tell how delicate user has to be with the buttons? Are they prone to catch dirt from fingers (it is still some, right)?

Re: Appropriate stereo for 1985 Euro

It would be nice to have illumination in line with dash. It does not match when the radio has green illumination in any bimmers from 80's. There was also Blaupunkt Electronic CD01 (two-unit model) and CD02 with the cardridge for single CD. That time (not sure if it was 85 or 86/87) that was the high...

Re: Stereo head unit interface issues :(

I would not be surprised if the connectors solder joints inside radio are cracked.

Typically the plug should be fine. There is no corrosion visible.

You might also check if any of the pins is not bent or made flat after some time of usage. It happens.

Re: Fuel level sending unit

Might be (at least for E30) that it will depend on the tank size. There were few numbers and at least two capacities, where one was using single sender (55liters) or dual senders (65liters) where the resistance differs. I suppose however they might be using the same mechanics - only sender resistanc...

Re: E24 auto check system

Thanks for info. It is good that the system is close to the switching/detection level and lack of LED lamp contact is triggering CHECK. Good. True that power resistors can be purchased for cheap in China now. In the past they're quite expensive. Modification of the CHECK relay would be much more exp...

Re: E24 auto check system

Thanks for a feedback. Great you was able to fix it. If you put a parallel resistance (e.g. resistor) to the LED bulb, you lost CHECK functionality. Maybe it would be better to change the "trigger level" by modifying the CHECK RELAY. Each of the circuits being under diagnostic is having a ...

Re: FS E24 CS/CSi Door Card Vinyl Natur Beige

Thanks for greetings.

Maybe someone will use them before they will target a trash.

I'm also dreaming about E24 having different BMW Reihe ;-)

Re: Fuel level sending unit

You can try to check if the item from E23, E21 or E28 will not fit the shape. That would be the cheapest option.

Re: E24 auto check system

CHECK system measures the current flowing through "Check Relay" to respective bulbs.

It provides feedback to the Check Display.

If the current is not big enough it will not activate the reed relay and thus report bulb error (too less current => no bulb)

Re: headlight switch pinout

Grey-Red (signal "KL58K" by DIN) is the color of the wire coming from light switch to OBC (not only!). It is pin#8 on the green OBC connector at the rear of the unit. You can slide it out from the plug or cut and isolate with the shrink tube and/or electrical isolation tape. Connector's pi...

Re: WTB: headlight wiper blade refill

Parts from Turkey are for "look" only. The clamps are 3D printed and rubber is not flexible.

There is another offer on eBay with the good quality rubber. I know from others it is really good:

Hope this info helps
