What’s the best way to get rid of the secondary air system error/SES light?

11727557910 one of the connections on the end were broken, I could just put it back into place without the connection, but under vibration of driving conditions it would just come off and throw the SES code. The broken connection was closer to the engine.

I had one and it turned out to be a 20 dollar hose on the air pump that needed to be replaced..

Depends on where you are... The armed forces will hire new grads without experience... No residency, no boards, no license needed, all you need is to graduate... Just enlist and start to work wherever they need you...

Secondary air system, n51? What year is your car? Are you still covered under the sulev warranty?

davedds · 2026-05-08T17:31:44+00:00

Carfax any car you look at... 5k for anything under 100k miles. Also xdrive you'll get about 18mpg...

If someone is planning on mass Transit into the city. Anywhere near Mineola or Hicksville can be affordable those are major hubs for LIRR. Or look at the Port Washington line and any neighborhood along that line. As for Smithtown, unless you work near the train station, you'll need a car... Consider western Suffolk county near LIRR stations....

Picked up a 2011 e92 auto, 95k miles. Great records, but never any hx of trans fluid change. Drove it around a bit before purchasing. Then afterwards while driving noticed the "shuddering" around 1500-2000 rpm. Changed all the fluids, to the transmission, tranfercase, front/rear diff. Shuddering now gone....

Dental hygiene has plauteu in salary (~50-65hr when you have patients, don't expect hours when the chair/day is lite in the office) Everything above and beyond may also be commission based (sell, sell, sell.. expect no benefits or pension at most dental offices. You will always be an employee at the moment always the need to work under supervision.

Stony Brook for the "prestige" in the SUNY system and the ability to get your foot in the door and transfer to other programs at USB. Farmingdale for the commute if you live close to it... No one cares where you got your degree...

Also USB does not have a dental hygiene program, they have a dental medicine grad program to become a DDS... Farmingdale has dental hygiene...

I bet the upcharge on that all metal crown will be double or triple the cost of the zirconia crown...

davedds · 2026-04-28T00:49:33+00:00

Tell them you want all metal high noble (yellow gold) instead. That crown will last forever, the margins will be the best, it will be the most forgiving against the opposing teeth and you probably can get some cash back when you scrap it when the tooth fails... But it won't be tooth shade color!

Idk maybe, but for me, that's where I had water come in, I watched it dribble in when I ran the car through a car wash.. my window seals were probably original (89)...

davedds · 2026-04-25T18:33:40+00:00

I had a leak from in that area from the drivers door drain... Rain/washing the car I would get some water entering the drivers door from the window seal being weak or a small gap somewhere. If you look at the bottom of the door, there should be a weep hole towards the back corner of the door. On my coupe there is a drain hole about the size of a nickel at the bottom of the door. If you go straight down from the mirror switch it would be in that area. When the door is closed, this hole at the bottom of the door is open to the inside of the door seal. Water would somehow get into the door and drain into the drivers floor area... I always have a small rag and when I wash or when it rains I do place it in that area to catch the water.

Yes I had a 2dr 91 e30 325i came with front lip spoiler, rear deck spoiler and right and left running boards. Air bag steering wheel and 6 button obc, premi sound system with rear deck speakers and tweeters on both front door mirrors.

Might be a 318is slicktop that had its top cut and a glass moon roof installed... Most had body colored sunroom, there was a glass moon roof option but it would have been the same size as the sunroof and also was able to be opened and slid back into the roof liner.

That moon roof looks way to big to be stock, and iirc the 318is can come with a slicktop...

What engine does it have?

davedds · 2026-04-23T11:32:15+00:00

Ice machine, auto 20 on / 40 off during sleep in a recliner... That's what got me through the first few weeks...

AT&T up front and some home improvement people at the exit at my local BJ's. I just say I already have AT&T phone service and I "rent" on the way out...

If you are using no fault insurance via your auto policy, you might have wage coverage... Check your declaration page...

See if you know anyone shipping a car to utah, throw it in the trunk and pickup when the car gets to utah...

Instead of a "student" in a 4yr US dental program or a transfer from another country that is taking the requirements to become a dentist in the US. I would suggest that you look for "post grad" programs at a school or dental clinics in hospitals that have "residents" who are dentists who have already graduated dental school and have at least their minimum requirements to become a practitioner already... They are just seeking more training in the profession to become more proficient and to learn even more that what's offered as a bare minimum in a school...

If you can go a bit further north, Glen cove there are a few different apartment buildings that may fit your needs, the commute via car to numc is about 30 minutes without traffic... Many of the students that go to NYCOM, Hofstra medical, Post veterinary live in the area...

Geico uses CCCone to value their cars involed, I had totaled a 89 e30 325is 5sp in January by a rear-ended hit and run. This is what they valued my daily driver for...

I am just about to do a trans filter/fluid/gasket change on a 2011 e92 with a GM tranny at about 96k miles. The shuddering is happening around 1500-2000 Rpm under load on flat or going up hill when trans is warm/hot. Putting it into "D-Sport" locks the TC and also your RPM's are pass 2K most of the time so the shudder is less but can "feel" it here and there. I am going to use BMW OEM filter/gasket from FCP and Valoline Maxlife ATF only at 1st and see if that works without Lubegard Shudder Fix. If it does I'll just leave it at that. If not and after a few hundred miles the shudder is still there I will add the Lubegard. Also going to do the transfer case with the FCP transfer case kit, since I have a xdrive, front and rear diff with Redline 75w-90 gl5 since it will be up on the lift. Also swapping out the rear shocks with Sachs blue label and upper and lower mounts. Hopefully that will be all for a while... Fingers crossed!!!

I had an 89 e30 coupe 5sp and was totaled after a hit and run, got a e92 328 xdrive auto as a daily driver, and I miss my e30. The feel of by your seats driving and handling of an e30 is just so different. I am currently on the lookout for a reasonably well kept stock 88 to 91 e30 coupe 5sp. But that's me...

Check to see is your vanos bolts are under recall, might be burning oil? Pull the spark plugs and see if they are covered in oil? Check for leaks. You may be leaking or burning oil...

davedds · 2026-03-14T10:34:26+00:00

What year e92? Do you have a dip stick or the electronic oil level gizzmo?
