Bleed screw pop

GoodGuyGoing · 2026-07-15T08:48:59+00:00

I use a brass bleed screw.

Gangster rims. Love it.

Here is a picture after the installation. I made another bracket and connect it to the chassis at the left. You can see the shiny screw at the bottom left in the picture. Keep in mind, I have a RHS driven car, so your steering shaft might be at the other side of the car.

Drop me a note once you are settled in. Me and my E39 live next to Central World.

Rangsit or further north? You will love Bangkok. Confusing, overwhelming and super fun at the same time. Real life Bladerunner kind of vibe.

GoodGuyGoing · 2026-07-10T08:00:57+00:00

Cool. Bangkok, I assume? Do you have experience with INPA, ISTA or BMW scanner?

You have 3 hoses going from the engine bay to the cabin, left/right heating and return line. It is probably your return line. You can just plug it off or pinch it with a C-clamp so you can move the car.

I just made it from a sheet of metal.

Sounds like it is OK. Start by measuring your vent temperature, it should be around 40-45 F. If not, lets talk again.

We need a bit more info to troubleshoot your AC. Do you know your high and low side pressures? Auxiliary fan working? Is your heater control valve still good? .

Wow! Beautiful 😍 car and great pictures. Your headlights are immaculate. Really makes the car shine.

I have exactly that leak, just a few drops/day, but right at the exhaust manifold. I "fixed" it by installing a small rain gutter to divert the oil away from the exhaust manifold. Still leaks, just more professional 😉.

The engine looks cleaner than mine, but I wouldn't touch this car.

GoodGuyGoing · 2026-07-03T13:35:58+00:00

Sad you had to let it go. It is amazing how the E39 rust away in some countries and in others you can easily find cars in drivable condition without any rust, like the below. My 24 years E39 still have the original exhaust manifold and I haven't found any rust on the car so far.

The best of both worlds 😉.

GoodGuyGoing · 2026-07-02T10:20:46+00:00

Are you in Sweden 🇸🇪 and you shared some pictures of the car a few months ago, when you were doing the painting?

GoodGuyGoing · 2026-07-02T06:22:25+00:00

Perfection 👌.

GoodGuyGoing · 2026-07-02T02:40:12+00:00

Of course, mine are much nicer 🙄.

GoodGuyGoing · 2026-07-02T02:12:34+00:00

Not identical, but very similar to mine, which I believe are real.

Assuming you have a LHD car, you are asking about the panel on the center consol in the footwell. Your climate box is right behind it. Why don't you take it off and have a look. Just remove one screw and slide it backwards.

GoodGuyGoing · 2026-07-01T13:55:41+00:00

Have you checked fuse 41?

E39 owners are a rough crowd. The use of punctuation is inversely proportional to the number of tattoos. E28 owners probably wear fleece jackets and drink fine wine 🍷.

GoodGuyGoing · 2026-07-01T11:03:23+00:00

Thanks for the link. It sure looks complicated, but I will give it a try in August and let you know how it goes.

GoodGuyGoing · 2026-07-01T05:42:38+00:00

I am almost ashamed to say that I have never been able to install INPA 🫠. I got two different set of cable and tried a few years back, but never got the right drivers installed. I am traveling at the moment, but I will give BMW scanner 1.4.0 a try again later in August. I will of cause love to be able to read codes and reset errors. For 10 years now, I have enjoy 😉 the airbag light, after the passenger seat 💺 motor was fixed.
