my e90 is making a rattling noise that i cant seem to find where its coming from. So i opened the hood and pushed in everything that wasnt in its notch and double checked other clips. still no hope. its sounds like a bolt rattling around in a plastic jar. its been driving me insane.
also, ever since i changed my coils and plugs, i feel like the engine sounds much rougher than before. it used to be so quiet |

Nice, I did my front brakes last month with the Zimmerman/Akebono kit from FCP and found very little brake dust on the first carwash. I like the feel of the pads, very little difference from the set the PO installed.

Well I didn't do anything to my E90 today but I did something for it. Does that count? It's still in storage until Sunday. I swapped out the studded winter tire set for the summers on the Golf and I switched the winter wheels for the summer set on my truck. I am so happy to get those noisy BFGs off the truck. It's so much smoother and quieter with the Goodyears...looks better too. Now I have that chore out of the way so I can focus on the e90 next week.
Oh and it looks like I need to give the truck a good wash, it's filthy.

Put her back together after doing oil pan gasket, engine mounts, O2 sensors and coolant hoses.
EVERYTHING is easier to reach with that subframe dropped: A little cleaner now: Hopefully that means she will be reliable for road trips and towing the motorcycle all summer. Last weekend was this: |

Been at it for a couple hours trying to get my passenger door open. Actuator is as broken as it possibly could be. It won't unlock at all. I've tried everything in the book to no avail

I got the HEAT back! It’s working now, I refilled the system with coolant today, it immediately started to leak where the brand new Mickey Mouse hose was connected to the cylinder head. Had to pump out the coolant from the expansion tank using fluid transfer pump and pulled that hose out. Turned out the oring sort of folded backward in one spot, had to give it a massage to bring back to normal shape. After that, filled up, bled the system, no leaks and let it idle for a few mins. Runs nice and blows nice hot air from the vents. I’ll be warm and toasty now)

I got my wifi dongle in the mail so I drove around to test it out with a recently flashed e30 map. Car feeling great!
Btw, can someone point me out on how to disable the wiper fluid sensor in Protools? I'm planning on fixing the leaking fluid tank but it's low on the priorities right now and I'd like my car to stop nagging at me in the mean time

The wiper fluid warning is one thing you can't code out I'm afraid. Eventually it'll stop popping up, provided you don't refill it before you fix it. Supposedly you can emulate the sensor itself, you just connect the two wires that go to it together. If that makes sense

I saw a thread the other day where someone used locking pliers to hold up a hood with bad shocks. A few people were amazed with the idea LOL.
There is a tool made for it I guess. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Hood-Tr....m46890.l49286 |
