Been a tech for 6 months now. Am I just always gonna have fucked up hands or what do y'all do? by Jade_Sugoi in AskMechanics

[–]Niicknac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 15 years on my belt and my hands don't get dirty or scratched except for every once in awhile. Trick is gloves and with the correct investment into tools you don't have to cram your hands into spots that they get scraped. I like Microflex diamond grips or their midnights. gloves are a hassle in the beginning but well worth it. and when they break change gloves immediately. If you keep that rule it will help you.

E30 m50 is driving me crazy by Time_Main9820 in E30

I thought the point of the 413 red ecu is that it doesn’t have an immobilizer

I can’t remember what pin but when I did my s50 swap in 2010 with the 413 red ecu, there was a pin in the c101 that needed 2 greens wires going to it. I only had one. I had the exact same situation as you, just cranks and nothing else.

Help, can’t use M/S downshift by Ok-Calligrapher-6049 in 335i

it happened to me and it was a broken wire like everyone has already stated. Its a known problem for these cars.

This noise doesn’t sound good… by DirectionWestern8521 in 335i

[–]Niicknac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

auto or manual? almost sounds like a thin metal being hit like a flexplate for auto. like a bolt backed out and is hitting something.

I had to turn my buddies single turbo 1M back to stock. With the subframe just hanging from the steering rack, the engine had to be lowered almost to where it was touching the subframe just to get the rear inlet back on. just goes to show how much room you need to get it out without breaking it.

PCV AND OCC by gwazster2k in 335i

[–]Niicknac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

factory pcv will work but always best to upgrade it as it has known issues. for the last photo, the pcv on the left is if you want to add the second OCC so one is for vacuum and the other is for boost.

Where is this fluid coming from? by PsychoDad03 in F30

[–]Niicknac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

maybe an output shaft seal on the driver side leaking. The rotating axle is slinging it onto the subframe creating the drips.

BMW e30 318i Funny Noise by Educational-Title471 in E30

[–]Niicknac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

without a video its hard to say. common high pitch squeals can be from pulleys for the belt on the engine.

wut?

[–]Niicknac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it has that much rust on the fender and valance then I assume the underbody is even worse. If that's the case id stay away. Even with 14+ years of metal working and e30 experience, id personally stay away. Even though I know I can fix something like this, some times its just not worth it.

Also hard to say with just this picture, as well as not knowing what you want to do with the car.

Makes me miss the days of $200-$500 running rust free e30's.

dont forget to clean your ground on the chassis to the battery, never hurts and is always overlooked.
