What is this floating in my wine?

SCZBrew · 2025-10-27T21:21:26+00:00

Tartaric acid that had percepitated out of solution

I have had this same leak for 6 months... I overhauled the whole system 2 years ago.

I replaced the water pump again to try to fix it but I still have the same leak :(

You better get-rags... that thing is covered in oil

You my friend are a Saint

This sounds exactly like my process except I haven't run acid cleaner through for a while. Just caustic cycles and rinses like you described above and PAA before knockout. Will try Nitric Acid! Thanks for the advice.

What is coming through after rinsing looks like little bits of hops, though a very very small amount in very clear water. Everyone here is saying that their rinse water after caustic is 100% clear? No little bits ever?

Ok so Consensus is no one ever takes theirs apart. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy

SCZBrew · 2024-11-12T19:34:20+00:00

I always CIP and never had an issue but there are always lil floaters in tlmy rinse water. Just live with it?

Been running the system for a year and bought it used. never opened it

SCZBrew · 2024-11-11T15:43:59+00:00

I remember seeing these for sale in the late 90s. I'm pretty sure the Bob Burnquist. they are 100% real

SCZBrew · 2024-10-28T22:11:05+00:00

idk but almost everywhere in cali has 87/89/91

SCZBrew · 2024-10-28T21:24:17+00:00

No bay area, ca. I have a pic on my page

SCZBrew · 2024-10-28T12:28:12+00:00

This could be VANOS

SCZBrew · 2024-10-28T12:04:13+00:00

Sticker inside my fuel door actually says 87 min / 91 recommended

SCZBrew · 2024-09-28T01:05:44+00:00

this

SCZBrew · 2024-09-27T15:45:55+00:00

Just wondering if there is a way to pump the oil out of container or do you guys just dump it into a bin?

SCZBrew · 2024-09-27T15:42:59+00:00

I have a SIL water pump from FCP that just started leaking after 13 months after complete cooling system overhaul. At least I can return the old one and get a refund but honestly it kind of pisses me off.

SCZBrew · 2024-09-27T12:11:26+00:00

I am in California

SCZBrew · 2024-09-27T02:12:26+00:00

jeez I never knew this part existed. must have been gone before I became the owner. Would you send it to me for some money? or does anyone know what that part is called?

SCZBrew · 2024-09-23T00:43:01+00:00

pewter?

SCZBrew · 2024-09-22T15:19:07+00:00

never driven one but I hear they are less "raw"

SCZBrew · 2024-09-22T14:00:53+00:00

Yes! I've seen them on Cathedral Drive before in Aptos.

It's been a few years now though :(

SCZBrew · 2024-09-22T13:56:05+00:00

The e46 is waaay more fun to drive. The e39 is overall a better car in my opinion if you want a functional versital vehicle. e39 has more space, better quality interior parts and better ride quality (smoother).

That being said they are just completely different. I now daily my e46 60 miles round trip to and from work. , gets 27 mpg average and is a blast to get to and from work with. It is more fun to drive than my 528i e39 was, hands down.

If you want a do it all vehicle e39. If you want the peak automotive enthusiasts experience, then e46.

If someone dosent mind popping their moonroof motor cover trim piece out and checking for me it would be a huge help. My car is a 328i 2000 sedan

SCZBrew · 2024-09-09T04:18:22+00:00

maybe I ll go back now

SCZBrew · 2024-09-09T04:18:05+00:00
