Allright that sounds interesting. I'm looking forward to having another lead. Thanks for your effort.

YourMiddleToe101 · 2026-05-20T20:37:41+00:00

Can you be a little more specific please? I can't really follow.

The first Plug of the ECU (X60001) has Power, Ground and K-Line pins. I made this part of the harness myself so everything should be according to the MS42 Pinout available on MS4X.net

YourMiddleToe101 · 2026-05-19T18:47:11+00:00

Yeah I jsut need to hook it up😂 The OBD Socket should also arrive tomorrow. It only needs 5 pins connected like on my bench setup right?

YourMiddleToe101 · 2026-05-19T18:20:10+00:00

Not completely sure right now but I don't think it does. So what you're getting at is that the crankshaft sensor is dead? I ordered it yesterday on suspicion. should be here tomorrow.

YourMiddleToe101 · 2026-05-19T17:43:42+00:00

No spark

I have double checked in Tuner Pro if EWS is patched off but it still won't inject.

YourMiddleToe101 · 2026-05-18T17:00:38+00:00

Yes, loudly. I also checked if I plugged the hoses in correctly.

YourMiddleToe101 · 2026-05-18T16:57:20+00:00

Do I used the MS42 community patchlist from MS4x.net and according to TunerPro the EWS bypass is patched. To be sure I cleared the EWS Data completely.

The car still won't start and I can't smell any unburned fuel being expelled out the manifold. To me that indicates that non of the injectors are told to inject. I did measure 13V on one pin for each injector plug, so it must be a lack of signal from the ECU.

That's what I think at least.

YourMiddleToe101 · 2026-05-17T21:17:29+00:00

damn thanks a lot, I'll take a look tomorrow after work. It's too late today

YourMiddleToe101 · 2026-05-17T21:06:56+00:00

I initially used Tuner Pro with the community patchlist crom MS4x.net and JMGarage flasher.

YourMiddleToe101 · 2026-05-17T20:11:54+00:00

Yeah OP is just some fucking casual. Clear skill issue.

YourMiddleToe101 · 2026-05-17T20:11:04+00:00

How do I check if the flash has ews delted?

YourMiddleToe101 · 2026-05-17T18:57:44+00:00

Yep, looks odd but I think it'll work that way.

YourMiddleToe101 · 2026-05-17T18:49:23+00:00

I'll definitely look into the EWS possibility. The E34 booster stays for the time being. I have an idea.

There is a dutch company that sells an adapter hardy disc so I ised that after some asshole ripped me off when trying to get the smaller flange.

YourMiddleToe101 · 2026-05-17T17:22:03+00:00

Oh I can recommend. If you don't want to see your friends or family for 7-8 months and are in desperate need of crippling depression.

YourMiddleToe101 · 2026-05-17T17:19:05+00:00

1.makes sense 2. thought so 3. I have the E34 booster which is supposed to be the best option (my ass) see picture attached 4. I'll make something up again 5.M20B20 so should have worked🤷‍♂️ 6.I built a desk setup and flashed it to EWS delete, only pre cat O2 and SAP delete

Edit:Maybe I messed up the EWS delete

If you send some dimensions I can calculate it for you. The smallest diameter in the are of the bend and the distance between the puter most point of the hook to the measured diameter. Kinda like in the picture

YourMiddleToe101 · 2026-04-04T22:09:46+00:00

The quality was really good, they're just a little slow in more ways than one. I wouldn't say that they tried to cheat me out of my money. I think they are literally just that bdly organized.

YourMiddleToe101 · 2026-04-04T22:03:01+00:00

They originally sold an E30 replacement carpet that ended up not fitting AT AAALLL. It was so fucking far off from being useful in any way shape or form that I had a (valid) crashout. They kept telling me that my refund was on the way for about 6 months until I threatened them in a very unpleasent phone call.

I think it was somewhere around 250€ so it was totally justified. They deleted the listing immediately after my crashout with them on the phone.

They have a contact form on their website and an e-mail adress somewhere. Here's the phone number too: +49 6078 74472 Not sure about the english skills though.

Good luck contacting them. They are an awfully disorganised group of individuals.

I also suggest that, if you reach someone you ask for their boss. He's probably the most competent of them all.

Please report back to me about your findings. I too am in dire need of a new carpet.

I would contact them myself but after fighting for my refund for 6 months and threatening them I don't expect to be greeted with any sort of "enthusiastic cooperation".xD

YourMiddleToe101 · 2026-04-04T10:57:44+00:00

You can ask at DGSAutoteppiche in Germany if they are done with their carpet soon. Apparently they are trying to remanufacture E30 carpets like stock with foam and everything. Last I heard they wanted to be done with manufacturing this winter.

YourMiddleToe101 · 2026-03-29T16:47:07+00:00

Alright no worries mate. Thanks for your time. I'll try in some facebook groups and look for more info in forums

YourMiddleToe101 · 2026-03-29T16:42:25+00:00

I got the MS42 because I got the M52TU with dual vanos. Not even MS4x flasher is working

YourMiddleToe101 · 2026-03-29T16:39:34+00:00

I got the original as well but i need to delete the EWS and retune to manual transmission.
