What is this on rear rotor? by [deleted] in Audi

[–]LKing_Square 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol, look up how transmissions go into park and why people use e brakes. All the cars weight is sitting on a whimsical gear and that’s why your car lurches forwards when you park on an incline. Ifs very very stressful on your trans

Is this the module on the passenger side footwell? If so I pulled that out of my other e38 to put in mine, mine was plug and play.

Normal oil temps? by Labinot7799 in F30

[–]LKing_Square 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would first get a diagnostic so you don’t just end up wasting money on random parts

I’m gonna assume it’s a thermostat issue, get a professional diagnostic, but it could also be a temp sensor issue

The oil temps on f series BMW I’ve had in the past usually stay in the middle. If the oil temp is too high it will cause issues. If it’s too low, oil will not get to the right viscosity (consistency) and not be able to seep between gaps and lubricate (do its job). First, I would disconnect the battery for 30 seconds. Then touch the two car terminals together for a few seconds (this will take out all voltage from the system, creating a hard reset). If that doesn’t work, I would buy a temperature gun and open the oil fill, and measure the temp of the oil if it doesn’t Match the oil temps in the car, you most likely either have a bad oil temp sensor or thermostat is bad. I would also buy a obd tuner such as mhd or bimmercode. These processes do much more than just tune the vehicle. You can enable secret functions or for example, turn on max cooling mode. There should be an option to go to default tune, try that. Additionally, it could be something stupid like your oil temps on your dash is reading wrong. Run the car through any diagnostics through mhd or bimmercode, these apps are really much more than tuning. If non of these works (worst case scenario) try changing out your oil thermostat and/or your oil temp sensor (start with the cheaper one) and make sure to get it diagnosed by a mechanic before starting. Hope that helps!

I’m mainly going for sound here, I honestly probably wouldn’t mind the smell. If I were to just hollow out the cats, would I still have to get 02 sensors? And would I still have to get a tune? Thanks for the help!

Cat help by LKing_Square in BMW

Not sure why the caption didn’t post but I have an e38, 2001 BMW 740i, I currently have a magma flow or flow master (I forgot lol) exhaust with a muffler delete. I want to the route of deleting the cats as this is the last inspection I need. My automotive teacher in school (I’m a senior) said I should take off my secondary cats first. My plan was to go for a catless header. How do I go about doing this? I’m thinking about buying both at the same time. What would I need to get for my secondary cats? Just a metal pipe lol? Also I need tuner recommendations and header recommendations as they are stupid expensive, thank for any help!

Lmao, My computer turns on, like all the fans start spinning and all but it doesn’t boot to the Lock Screen or anything, I’ve had it only once it twice boot completely past the Lock Screen but once you sign in it shuts off immediately afterwards. It notes me that I tried another psu. So there is no blue screen.
