    P38 Radio sub problem.

    Have the Harman K. system with steering wheel controls and rear sub woof. The other day I parked the car on the "wrong" side of the fuel pump, between the pump and the station, probably in the wifi beam for the communication with the cash counter. When I forget myself and do this the car will...

    Oil seal rear axle P38

    You know I haven't even considered asking the local stealer for a price. Not since I had to buy the small 8 mm screw that holds the rotor to the hub: 9£ and it was not even made of gold. Sometimes it may even be worth getting on a plane to LON and then import the parts myself. Can get a plane...

    Oil seal rear axle P38

    Hello P38 2001 Does anybody know the dimensions and type of the outer oil seal in the rear axle? I should like to source locally, since DHL charges 20£ just to handle the paperwork for the shipment upon arriving in Norway even if the seal only cost 6.99£ at FF. Would rather save that handling...

    Am I correct with the timing? BMW 2,5 TD

    Got it all together and timed up right. THE ENGINE IS WORKING!!!!!! Static timing first at 0.90mm, but changed that to 0.95mm after reading a note by Wammers (new chains same as motor gone less than 20K) This gave me first a timing modulation on idle about 67 and not much below even when...

    Am I correct with the timing? BMW 2,5 TD

    I put a dial gauge on no 1 piston and moved the crankshaft as much as the timing pin would allow. The piston moved 0.5 mm up and down. Measured the timing pin, and it is slightly smaller than indicated by Wammers in another tread. Spigot is 7.67mm (7.89) probably what gives the movement...

    Am I correct with the timing? BMW 2,5 TD

    All ready for the final assembling. Would be nice if somebody could have a brief glance at the picture and tell me if I am on the right track. Have been off with the head after loosing the timing. Luckily the valves are still good. Have had a check of the valves and the head. Have lost...

    FIP sprocket nut?

    Then the nut has been found, it was still in place, but so rounded by a previous mechanic's attempt to remove it. Had to take off the tube that is the base of the tensioner to see it. Then it came lose with some gentle persuasion

    433Mhz and a chainsaw?

    If my wife uses her Blackberry phone while seated in the front passenger seat, the EAS goes bananas after 10 sec. So she is expelled to the back seat if she want to surf the WWW while we are driving. Iphones are not that bad, usually takes about 2-4 minutes of surfing before the EAS gets it...

    Terrible sound from the engine

    P38, 2001 model with BMW diesel, 150 000 km: A few days ago with a lukewarm engine I tried to start the engine, but by mistake pulled back the ignition key just when the starter motor engaged. I then did a proper starting sequence and the engine started, but with a rattling sound as if all...
