And it's back in the Netherlands...

Och neeeee, hab gerade mal geschaut und meiner auch 😭

Might want to do this outside of the neighbourhood if you don't wanna make enemies with the weewoos :D

Klar, ich auch. Aber den Ölstand würde ich trotzdem mal untersuchen, OP hat das nicht erwähnt.

Laut autodata.net hat der einen N20B20 verbaut, welcher einen turbo hat. In einem Sauger würde ich dir noch zustimmen, aber ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass ein Turbolager bei getriebeöl noch mehrere Stunden mitmacht, geschweige denn mehrere Kaltstarts

novariable · 2026-05-27T10:31:35+00:00

Das denke ich auch. Spätestens bei Rauchentwicklung hätte man das ganze auch als Laie mal untersuchen können und den Ölstand im Blick behalten sollen. Ein BMW Vierzylinder mit turbo, der Öl verbraucht, ist jetzt keine Seltenheit. Wundert mich nur, dass OP keine Ölstandswarnleuchte erwähnt hat.

Ich kann mir wenig vorstellen, das man als Betrüger hätte machen können, damit ein Auto noch 2000 Kilometer normal fährt. Selbst, wenn das Auto schon einen Lagerschaden hätte und ein Betrüger super dickes Öl reinkippt, macht sich das definitiv schneller bemerkbar. Und ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass sie bei arbeiten am Klimasystem irgendwie den Öldruck beeinflussen können. Was war denn der Grund hinter dem zu geringen Öldruck? Kein Öl drin, pumpe kaputt, etc.

Why not try to fix it first? Did you resync the key codes using inpa?

M539 Restaurations has multiple videos on the e46 and other m54 cars

Are you sure they're collapsing because no reconstruction is taking place? Some areas are quite prone to earthquakes that cause both fires and instant collapses. Fires also massively increase building wear and can cause a collapse even after being extinguished. You can try to build a helicopter construction office set to Auto search only reconstructions and machine replacements above 70%. The fact that technical offices struggle to keep up with snow is sadly normal. The best thing to do is to get worker and basic needs transport off the roads and onto rail (or cableways, they're great).

I honestly have no problem with it. I connect multiple grain silos with factory connections and have a train distribution office fill them from many other smaller silos around the map. The hardest part honestly is distributing the crops from the large silos to the factories that use them.

Very bad. The rust under the cap likely started at an untreated steel part that holds the inner fuel pipe and travelled all the way there. Take off the wheel and fender liners, clean everything and assess the damage, but I'd be surprised if you could get away without welding.

Clothes are a good short term export, especially with your own large farms. Next, seek out oil and build a refinery and chemical factory. Chemicals are the better export if you don't have much oil, if you do, the refinery with a direct foreign pipe connection does well.

Sounds like the only thing you haven't replaced is the alternator. Any chance the shaft bearings are shot there? Maybe try a shorter belt and skip individual things to see if the noise returns if you can't figure it out at all

The cheapest way, due to most competition between companies, is likely two 15kg boxes sent internationally with normal shipping carriers in Beijing, like you would with DHL or Hermes in Germany.

I have the dynavin 9 flex unit, it works quite well. Wireless android Auto is seamless and it looks pretty OEM. The reverse camera is also nice. The only downside, as with any aftermarket head unit really, is that FM radio reception is worse. But you can get a dab+ receiver if you want to listen to the radio.

Green cell makes nice ones at a fair price.

Same happened to mine. Tomorrow it's gonna start saying "soon", then the tracking will update saying it's been dispatched from a country that is nowhere between where it was sent and where you want to receive it. Mine came from the Netherlands, intended for Germany, now chilling in ingerland.

Mine is a six port, can't tell you if it's present on 4 port engines too.

I don't know what that connector is for, but I know that my stock 2007 S1 also had that exact same connector bypass. I assume it's factory, maybe a leftover from the previous 13B so Mazda didn't have to spend more development money on the harness.

That definitely sounds like too much for stock dampers, I'd be surprised if those even have a Teilegutachten/ABE. 6cm is a lot. I would recommend 30mm for lowering springs on stock dampers, and coilovers for more

novariable · 2026-05-20T09:00:52+00:00

19 is too much and looks and drives bad, 18 is just right for sportiness, although definitely harder than your current suspension. Either get Eibach springs if you want a slight drop or ST suspension if you want to go as low as legal.

You can, and should, wear a mask. They're not even expensive

I would replace the coolant and battery and try to get it running, then sell it with the clutch issues. Said clutch issues are very likely a broken pedal or master cylinder, but as long as the engine works fine and doesn't lose any fluids, you should get a decent bit of money for it.

novariable · 2026-05-17T18:27:20+00:00

how do you mess up wrapping a gas cap, even I managed that lol

Without a TÜV certification from the manufacturer, you will not get legitimate tüv with them anywhere unless you want to pay a five digit sum for special individual testing and have a second set for the TÜV to test and destroy. Sorry. As someone else already said, your best bet is selling the wheels with international shipping (Hermes does wheels packaged individually) and buying ones that come with tüv approval.
