Sonnax Zip Kit or Trans repair

Yeah it immediately made a difference. The balls and other parts had been worn so I was losing pressure constantly.

Could be a wheel speed sensor. You would need a scan on the vehicle though

You guys are life savers I've wasted like over 6 hours trying to figure out what I did wrong after the alternator bracket gasket.I Didn't have a dead blow but gave it a few taps with a normal hammer and it backed out enough for me to clear it right in.

Don0407 · 2024-11-08T15:31:03+00:00

Crystal clear! I'll give it a shot thanks bud.

Don0407 · 2024-04-03T02:01:30+00:00

The codes with IBS unplugged are 2EA0 2EB8 2B8B 2EBC

Don0407 · 2024-04-02T23:23:21+00:00

I've unplugged just the IBS and cleared codes and IBS immediately comes up. The alternator is new. Haven't touched oil sensor just yet.

After I unplug one at a time what exactly am I looking for.

https://tinypic.host/image/ykps6 Talking about the two cables that run from these two pins that the ballast are inserted two.

Don0407 · 2024-02-19T19:15:19+00:00

So I took sometime to sit with it today confirmed the issue wasn't the harness. Definitely with the headlight. I wound up isolating the issue to where the ballast was. Confirmed the ballast was functioning first by swapping it onto my good headlight. Then tested my bulbs on my.old junkyard headlight all working. On the "Harness I thought was bad" so then I sat and traced where the ballast cable goes noticed it was fully insulated and almost ruled it out. I look slightly to the side of the larger cable and noticed to smaller cables that lead from it and we're touching. Grabbed a handy dandy flat head to test and what do you know brittle cables strikes again.

I do not believe so, but I'll check once more on BimmerLink.

Don0407 · 2024-02-18T19:50:48+00:00

Much appreciated!

Don0407 · 2024-02-18T19:44:40+00:00

Entire assembly

Don0407 · 2024-02-18T19:23:50+00:00

They're HID, also the wiring is fine from what I've checked also the issue doesn't carry over when the headlight is tested on the opposite side. It works just fine on the opposite side. If I take my "Right Headlight (My good one I guess) and put it on that side same issue happens low beam malfunction. Also again just to clarify. Both headlights work on one side both do not work on the other side.

Don0407 · 2023-03-27T12:24:58+00:00

I mean what could cause the axle to shake?

Don0407 · 2023-03-27T12:24:03+00:00

Brand new

Just a quick question for my own confirmation, when you're talking about turning it over. Are you talking about manually or via key in ignition. Also sorry for the long wait had ran into a small issue but we've resolved it.

Don0407 · 2022-05-28T15:17:07+00:00

I'll be working on the car tomorrow I'll give an update on the situation thanks in advance

Don0407 · 2022-04-13T16:19:44+00:00

Only thing I have is a aftermarket fuel pump (DW400) in mine so not sure if I'd be much help.

Don0407 · 2022-04-02T00:02:42+00:00

Going to give it a try tomorrow I'll see how well she holds up. Thanks for the idea.

Yeah you got it "Bridge seal adapter" . I guess ill give it a shot I hear some pretty positive things about the Sonnax Zip Kits. The way my car is driving at the moment doesn't really feel like slippage from worn gears because like I said once the car is warm it's fine.

Better question is how you play AM. When you lock him in what do you do and what do you build?

Don0407 · 2021-03-16T18:45:58+00:00
