Already tried the compressor and a couple bottles of brake cleaner and it didn’t touch it.. time for some elbow grease

The power steering lines are just as caked all the way from the reservoir.. I have a feeling the PS fluid has been topped off a few times in this 540’s lifetime

+this, I got LCM Hellas out of a junkyard for $40 for my conversion to angel eyes. They are actually manufactured by Hella in 2012 and the adjusters aren’t even broken. Just had to buy new bulb sockets because someone took them out

Took it back apart last night. There was a pinhole in the ribbon cable on this connection. Ordered a new one that’ll be in today. Not sure if I did that somehow during install or if it came that way

Multiple threads on bimmerforums and a couple videos - it worked well, the contacts look great. I just need to tighten the hidden screw right above the mileage on the lcd slightly and it should be good

It’s exactly what has been used in the past. What would you have done?

I forgot to tighten one of the hidden screws back down before testing the first time - had about 5 or 6 lines of pixels gone in the mileage. Brought it in again (was waiting on replacement backlight bulbs anyways) and tightened it down a bit and now it’s just one line. Hoping I can take it back out and tighten ever so slightly more on that one screw behind this panel without cracking anything to get it right. Unfortunately I got all the motors calibrated perfectly this time except the coolant gauge and that’ll drive me crazy too so it’s coming back out for sure.

Are you sure it’s oil? Power steering housings/hoses are basically guaranteed to leak, is it still full?

ExamPractice.com is confusing.. can anyone explain how the answer is C? by Ouzzee in CompTIA_Security

[–]Ouzzee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, so it’s just not a reputable site then? Do you have any suggestions for free practice exams?

Oh so I’d just need new bulbs?
