Get underneath and check under the exhaust manifold , the studs can pass oil and also the manifold covers core plugs in the head , those can pass oil as well.

If that right side pipe on the catch tank is going to the inlet , that’s wrong . Because all that would do is suck the oil fumes back into the engine , which it what you want to prevent . All you need to do is run a single pipe from the back of the rocket cover outlet into the catch can , and...

I have an old 2004 525i BM and I have the Mr12volt unit in mine . Works a treat.

@gudger12345 : Nearly finished by the looks of it . Looks pukka David

Make sure the Crank pulley isn’t perished and slipping causing the load on the belt to cause slow turning . Just a thought.

It’s for the clutch switch by the looks of it , for vehicles that have cruise control . I assume yours doesn’t have it ?

I’d put a crank pulley on it while you’re doing the belt . Sounds very chirpy that noise.

Been working on a full length version of the fuel line , testing it begins this week . See how it goes .

It’s not an exciter wire , it’s a wire that’s needed to control the Alternator / battery warning lamp . The alternators that are self excited from within the unit only have 1 small wire in the black connector . If you have 2 small wires only then is one an exciter , normally the older Renault...

Just a heads up guys and gals , I make these fuel lines from the fuel rail to the connection under the drivers floor / subframe area . I’ve made the first one and will undergo testing very soon . Not sure if anyone has seen my repair fuel pipe before , but having 1 customer send me a message...

There are repair pieces that would have sorted the original pipe . like a cut and push fit pressure fitting. unlucky that it happened in the first place , pesky rodents . Glad you sorted it .

If pins 7 , 13 , 82 are what you are using then , that‘ll be fine , but I guess the only way you’ll know is by viewing the TPS live info in the tuning software. Even thou ME have suggested different pins to be used , if your pin 13 signal input doesn’t register , then I would pin swap it to...

First of all I think you have the wrong PG TPS sensor , I might be wrong , but all you need is 3 pin one . If a 4 pin is what’s arrived on the throttle bodies then that’s what we will run with then , but I would still double check it is correct or not. With regards to pin 43 , 71 , 87 , those...

I will take a look and get back to you. Every time I see a post about throttle body TPS sensor I get excited 😆 lol . only kidding , I have some info somewhere as I run a ME221 also but a Ph1 , same as @KitsonRis
