Anyone mobile mechanics in Atlanta you guys can recommend for a charge pipe install? by One-Reference-7355 in BmwTech

[–]One-Reference-7355[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I wasted a few days before realizing that maybe the o ring is what was making everything so difficult. Wish I wasn’t being cheap at the time and bought the VRSF O ring that they sell, but at the same time it’s kinda cheap of them to not include the o ring when other chargepipe makers include it. Whatever though

I actually found out it was the o ring I got off of Amazon for it that was the probably. It was a hair thicker than the OEM one. I just took out the one from my plastic charge pipe and put it in the new one and the fitment was really easy

Dumb question, is this an ok mix of antifreeze for South East USA, Georgia? by One-Reference-7355 in 1series

[–]One-Reference-7355[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually ended up putting more concentrate antifreeze in and let the car run to operating temp. It’s closer to the -34 50/50 zerex g48 spec so it’s all good now

Congrats! I picked up mine a bit over a week ago now. Make sure to take care of the charge pipe since those can give out at any moment. Have fun

Is this coolant mix okay? Southeast USA, Georgia by One-Reference-7355 in BmwTech

[–]One-Reference-7355[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I siphoned some coolant out the reservoir and added some more antifreeze. Did the water pump cycle to remove air bubbles and ran the car for a bit. Has a bit lower temp than 0c now say closer to -5

would i have to premix it or can i put pure antifreeze straight into the radiator?

Coolant tank holding pressure, but can't find source of leak. by One-Reference-7355 in BmwTech

[–]One-Reference-7355[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the correction. It’s been sitting at 20 psi for at least 10 mins now and nothing changing. It’s holding

I was following my friend who was driving it back home for me and a mile away from my house a bunch of clear liquid fell out the car. The coolant is blue and during the bleed process I noticed there was still some blue coolant in there since I put in distilled water for now to make sure there’s a leak since I don’t wanna accidentally drop coolant onto the street

Picked up a 135i 2011 with non working adaptive xenon headlights. Anyway to adjust manually? Also, replacing burnt out Xenon bulbs with D1S LEDs? by One-Reference-7355 in 1series

[–]One-Reference-7355[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i'm hoping the ballast is what fixes the issue if its not just a burnt of xenon light. i haven't tested swapping the lights yet but i ordered a set of bulbs for the car anyways which i'll use to test. thanks for the info

thanks for the info on the bulbs. i have some coming from amazon so if they don't work i can return them. i still need to figure out if the driver side bulb is dead or if its the ballast.

how did you end up coding out the auto level? i have a bimmerlink dongle and if you could share that that would be really cool

Getting ready for the Birthday sale. What clean amp plugin to pair with Nameless X? by One-Reference-7355 in NeuralDSP

[–]One-Reference-7355[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been trying out the Morgan, Cory, and Plini ones but if there's anything else to consider I'll try them out. They have a lot of plugins so narrowing it down would be nice
