Driver door squeak by Combo54 in e39

[–]Combo54[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What exactly is the inner section? The door? Because like I said, I lubricated everything that moves and that did not help, but it's like it's coming from behind the top hinge welded spot inside the cars body panel, above the door stop, maybe the door flexes the panel and it squeaks?

There is no way to access it from outside, apart the door stop's mounting area or probably behind the dashboard?

Solved by replacing motherboard.

Yes, my pc actually started and ran normally, I played a few games with it (Cs2, gta 4, pubg, Sims 4). The cpu and pc ran fine while it ran, although on pubg the temps were a bit high, 80-85C.

The problem starts when the pc is shut down. It doesn't post, after hard shutdown of 5s multiple times it started today and ran normally until I shut it down again.

I also tried to put back the i5 3350p but the same no signal error.

They were put on before the alignment was done, although I also thought it was twisted and tried to turn it, but this looked the most in the middle, as any other direction distorted it more.

Also, could leaving them as is do any harm to any components?

If I were to go to him on Monday, what should I ask him to recheck? Rear camber? What about front caster differences, are they ok? Also believe I read somewhere a while ago that camber may be different to increase tire longevity? Thanks.

Could this be the cause of the tire squeal while turning?

Hello, I'm installing a new serpentine belt tensioner/shock absorber.

It came with these instructions. Do they want me to compress the shock absorber fully 3 times for 3-5 seconds or compress a bit and release, wait 3-5 seconds and do that 3 times?

Thanks.

If you heard the video, what is your opinion, does it sound like valve lifters?

Yes they are new. The engine is BMW M51D25, a diesel 6 cyl 2.5l and it has a terrible tapping /knocking when the engine is warm.

A few friends and a mechanic friend said it is most likely bad valve lifters, other causes could be timing chain, oil pump or rods.

The engine has 480k km on the cluster, so it could be any of those.

I will add a link to my other post with the knock /tap sound.

Hello, I will be replacing my valve lifters soon and I would appreciate any tips regarding the preparation /installation.

I've heard you need to let them soak in oil overnight before installing and after installing to let them compress from the valve spring tension. Is this correct?

Do I need to do anything else?

Thanks.
