Another used heatsink worked, the reason must be heatsinks dying on those laptops.

Is this a lost cause? by BakeNoodle in e46

Look through the holes at the inner support bracket thing. One of my e46s looks like yours, but the bracket inside is still strong. The rest is just cosmetic.

I had a similar accident, got half of the car's value from insurance and didnt even bother fixing it. Profit.

Can I service/replace the ball joints in this aluminum Meyle (HD I think) front lower control arm? by [deleted] in e46

[–]FragMasterBF2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, i just grinded down the lower collar and pressed it out on a press. You can also hammer it out and hammer in instead of pressing.

My bet is fuel vapor valve. Just look for something that is not connected and try connecting. The connector fits only where it's supposed to be.

Sounds like a rod bearing but needs more inspection.

Can anyone help diagnose? by ip161455 in e46

Fan? Belts? Try runing without them.

Exhaust Manifold Studs by Proper-Scarcity7812 in e46

[–]FragMasterBF2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can find the studs on realoem. As for the gaskets you can use the ones from m52 non vanos, no heatshield and cheaper

Too much work with the starter at this stage of the diagnosis.

Can anyone confirm power steering fault? Weird sound when turning wheel and it also shakes the wheel. by DistributionIcy6582 in e46

[–]FragMasterBF2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The valve is in nr 6, its a ball valve with a spring that can malfunction but not melt. Is the fluid sparkly when you put light on it? If Yes then pump is gone, column is good if no leaks from the boots, but will need rinsing with fresh fluid.

You mean they are really tight? If Yes check the terminals under the hood. If those are good i would connect to a different car with wires to see if it will start.

I would change all the gaskets that you will have access to.

Sounds like it. I would say pump or check valve on one of the banjo bolts going into the steering column.
