  • one wiper not working

    Zitat von TerryY

    Hope this helps. The US models probably do not have the star nut on the drivers side.


    With luck it is a loose nut.


    You have been so much help to me, Thanx once again for all your help and YES this will be very helpful to me.

  • high carbon level

    Zitat von TerryY

    O2 sensors are the cheapest part to replace. They report the amount of extra oxygen that is left after combustion so that the fuel system can compensate to give the cat enough oxygen to work.
    If they are getting old your gas mileage should improve when you change them.


    AutohausAZ.com should have them for a reasonable price and they are fairly easy to install.


    Thanx for the info, I will start with that and go from there.

    The linkage is not visible from the outside. If the blade is tight to the post but doesn't move then it is linkage.


    Someone here replaced it on their car and suggested that pulling the motor may be worth it to make it easier.


    I think that the procedure was published some where in a thread here before.


    The actual wiper arm on the drivers side moves up and down with ease when I manually do it. What I did notice is that when I did that to the passenger side wiper arm, it went with ease, but I met some resistance when pushing it back down. I didn't have that same resistance from the drivers side wiper arm.

    Have you changed the O2 sensors?


    I got the car last August, so I haven't done anything to the car, is that a hard and expensive part to replace?

    It needs to be re-tightened on the post most likely.


    If it is still tight on the post the linkage inside has come apart. That is a significant bit of labor to fix.


    Thanx for your reply, I am not sure of the linkage inside that you are talking about.

  • high carbon level

    I had my car resently go thru state emissions test and failed due to high carbon level. I am not sure what could cause this and I am sure the repair shop will tell me 10 other things besides the actual problem just to get more $ out of me. So before I do that, I wanted to see if anyone had this type of experience and/or has some idea of the possible cause for a high carbon level

  • one wiper not working

    I was driving to work in the rain and my drivers side wiper stopped working while it was in the up position. The passenger side wiper was just smacking the other wiper, for a moment I thought I was going to loose my driver side wiper. Can some one please tell me what might be the problem? I have to drive back home and I am wondering if it's a quick fix or a costly fix?

    Gault http://www.buybmw.com would be the best choice for the rear valence. Painted to the BMW color the seem cheaper than the other dealers are quoting unpainted.


    In your last picture you appear to be missing the standard center panel between the exhaust pipes. (See the picture of mine)


    The Sport/CSi piece you have marked in the picture requires a complete bumper change.


    I went to this site and I did not see no where to order parts, just a lot of contact info. Any direct link to the sites product page?

    Is the rear the whole bumper or the valence part?

    Yes I am missing that piece as in your pic, wasn't sure what I was missing because when I got the car it was missing. Thanx for the info!

    Hi


    No idea on the fornt section but the rear is also found in UK on all Sport models ...840.
    Might be easier to go for the Sport front end also but from what I recall new they are approaching $2000.00 from stealers.
    Do pop up on Ebay from time to time. In fact there was a complete front end on there a couple of weeks ago.


    I know I hate that I missed that, someone back into my sh*t in a hotel parking garage!!!:oops: Thanx for your input
