so recently i fixed the puking issue,
needed a new expansion chamber cap.



but then after running smoothly, the waterpump gasket is leaking.... :(


got the gasket today, gonna try and tear it up today/tonight and have my e30 running good by tmw :)

So I just read all 27 pages. Get that water pump seal off clean and use a gasket sealer I promise it won't leak after that, screw paper gaskets. It should take you 1 hr and 15 min to tear it it back down and have it all back together...... Ready go

[lambo]

do work, my son.

Did you ever end up finding a water pump pulley tool?

Did you ever end up finding a water pump pulley tool?

You mean a 32 mm wrench

Did you ever end up finding a water pump pulley tool?

flat head screw driver and a 10mm wrench should take the fan and pulley bolts off

It runs?

not quite...... i drove it around and i have another leak. im assuing from the thermostat housing gasket as i did not RTV that either, and my water pump was dry on the bottom sealing area.
i was too pissed to look into it further yesterday, ill probably fix that in a week, too broke do stuff.

Did you ever end up finding a water pump pulley tool?

i ended up pulling the waterpump attached to the fan clutch LOL

You mean a 32 mm wrench

and something to hold the pulley still?



flat head method doesnt work for me.... not coordinated enough.

[2blue240]

10 mm wrench. How can you not make a wrench and a flathead work together?

[golde30]

the tools for removing BMW fan clutch cost $90 for both.

Well I'm hoping I can get some work in on this pos soon, I broke my leg last month, had to have surgery :( still in a cast and I have some torn ligaments :(



I might be able to fix my water leak but I can't drive it for a while.
