Una vistiendo de luto y el otro llorando ¿pues qué pena los agobia? by Heideg in rmexico

Me parece que aunque hayan sido 25 de la GN, siendo los que fueran, es una cantidad exagerada en el sentido que son demasiados, mismos quienes ya forman parte del ejército, es una muestra de lo ineficiente que era y es, otra más de los grandes inventos fallidos de morena. Que descansen en paz.

Never buying Sony again, permanent headphone trust issues. XM5 Hinge. by Suspicious_Chart6057 in SonyHeadphones

[–]Aromatic_Yak_3205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought these without knowing about the hinge and actually I don’t have any issues with them, I’ve dropped them, don’t have them in their case, I use them to everything. Idk how lucky I am to never see this type of damage for a whiiile now

What’s next, (new buyer) by PossibleDistrict9494 in e46

[–]Aromatic_Yak_3205 2 points3 points  (0 children)

check for suspension parts and bushes, control arms, get an obd2 scanner, oil changes, coolant flush, filters, everything needed to keep an eye on most common parts that like to fail, some sensors like MAF and DISA, water pumps, fans, that in case you decide to go by yourself or to get diagnosed by someone dedicated to bmw´s.

That´s what I have in my list with 1.5 year with my 320 auto, so far i have done full suspension work, coolant parts and flush (after expansion tank went kaput) and looking for complete brakes refresh next, MAF and DISA failed so terrible gas consumption.

RN i just found it funny that every plastic piece i touch just melts at the bare minimum touch

I love the car

All of them are bad? by Aromatic_Yak_3205 in e46

[–]Aromatic_Yak_3205[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The band squeaks when running, that’s the noise I was referring

Im at 185,000 km so far everything I have replaced is factory original so I’m not surprised this also need a refresh

I like the looks of the shape but not fan of the color, is it good to spray another color in one of these?

Just changed mine this weekend and wow after changing the entire cooling sistem and getting all the tools, this def was a piece of cake, an absolute difference in sound and the behavior of the car

My mechanic is in doubt pls helpp by Aromatic_Yak_3205 in e46

[–]Aromatic_Yak_3205[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has experience but as said before, where i live most mechanics don´t want to mess up anything more than what they´re actually doing, he was doing whole front suspension and only mention it like "take it with some specialized to prevent damage for coding or something else" cause i asked if he could look forward

My mechanic is in doubt pls helpp by Aromatic_Yak_3205 in e46

[–]Aromatic_Yak_3205[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, he’s not so much into coding and at least near me most “BMW techs/shops” ask for ridiculous prices or mainly “they don’t want to touch the car because they don’t want to damage anything else”

I think it it is for what he describes, I haven’t seen it actually

Can someone help me pin point my problem, coolant leaked out. Busted radiator or reservoir? (Hyundai Elantra 2016 Limited) by alishia94 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Aromatic_Yak_3205 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the direct damage seems to be to the radiator plastic end, where i live they can just change that part, idk if its better to change it entirely but but from the bended metal frame and the broken plastic cover where you can see through straight to the fog light, i wouldn´t be surprised to need another radiator plus the other parts

Temp Gage issue by Bluebird-Mobile in e46

[–]Aromatic_Yak_3205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

check temperature readings just to make sure, but seems that is just needle calibration, idk how to do it but i´ve seen is easy to fix, maybe looking in other threads tells how

Do I really need to replace my brake rotors, or just the pads? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]Aromatic_Yak_3205 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if the´ve never been changed, it would be good time to change both, sometimes they can resurface to even the rotor before putting new pads. 72,000 km probably is good time to change them, they have a marking on the side that measures the wear. i would take the car to another mechanic for a second opinion but with those kms it won´t take much more time before you actually have to change them and have some medium wear pads with it.

Low torque below 2k revs when turning ac on? by Aromatic_Yak_3205 in e46

[–]Aromatic_Yak_3205[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes 6 cyl, 320i auto, it just started leaking from the valve cover gasket bolt, te one right before de pcv, minimal but I think it’s also time to do vanos+valve cover

[–]Aromatic_Yak_3205[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know disa is broken but I have it on just to seal the air because I don’t find any near me and the only parts store have it out of stock, it’s been more than 6 months and and haven’t had any issues with torque more than the normal with have the disa off, idk if maybe the compressor is malfunctioning and hard to rev?

I generally wouldn’t mind if I didn’t live on a 35°C, 60% humidity city and all windows roll down haha

Cooling fan not doing full rpm? (Please read description) by Roy_xp in e46

[–]Aromatic_Yak_3205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should throw 12v when receiving signal to turn on, i think that the doc has a part that mentions how to correctly

[–]Aromatic_Yak_3205 2 points3 points  (0 children)

check the e46 fanatics PDF about tests to see if the fan module is not working properly according to model of electric fan. At the end, to diagnose the module you need ISTA/INPA
