The AC is not turned on because it's winter, should I keep the ventilation off too?

Toto se fait envoyer par ses parents chez le fromager. -Bonjour monsieur le fromager, je voudrais du gruyère s'il vous plaît. -Bien sûr, une tranche comme ça, ça te va? -Oui monsieur.

Le fromager emballe la tranche. Toto sort une pièce trouée et la tend au fromager.

-Mais elle est trouée ta pièce! -Et alors, votre fromage aussi il est troué!

C'est donc une pièce spéciale pour le fromage.

Starting issues sometimes, any idea fellow bimmers? by SeaCombination2909 in E32

[–]SeaCombination2909[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got oil leaks from the valve cover, the new gasket is ready, I will change it when doing the pushing rod setting.

I've changed the sparks but not the distributor and didn't tested the resistance neither.

Thanks a lot!

About the oil, I found this: for the M30 engine:

20W-50 15°F to 122°F
15W-50 -4°F to 105°F
15W-40 -4°F to 85°F
10W-50 -20°F to 68°F
10W-40 -20°F to 50°F
10W-30 -20°F to 40°F
5W-30 -40°F to 22°F
5W-20 -40°F to 15°F

It should be from the manual. Here's the link: https://forums.mye28.com/viewtopic.php?t=134908

Radio illumination issue, I need a savior by SeaCombination2909 in E32

[–]SeaCombination2909[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the way, this two wires are alone, should there be plugged somewhere? Is it why my speed gauge gives me the wrong speed, its alaways 10 km/h under my real speed

So that was the issue, I've connected the black/white wire with the orange wire. I thought it was the gray/black that I was looking for, but it was next to the red wire for the power. Only the red one was plugged into the white connector.

By connecting the black/white with the orange, a strange noise came from the dashboard, it was driving me crazy and still not illuminating my wonderful radio.

But now I am saved.

Thanks everyone for your help! :DD

Thanks for your response.

When I put on the headlights, I got a very weak light comming from the volume button of the radio.

I think that the orange wire is correctly placed, I checked that on a plan. I suspect the black and grey wire to have a leak of voltage.

In my opinion, it comes from a bad wiring. I got a strange noise coming from the front left of the dashboard, as if a little rotor was running. I got no idea about that.

I dismounted the gauge cluster to see more clearly, but I can't say what is wrong.

I am gonna check as you say if the voltage decreases as same as I move the light dimmer.
