rod blows out, fluid leaks from bottom of bell housing.

i dont understand why, ive bought 3 new ones and blown 3. it blows before a firm pedal when i do a bleed

Is the rod seating in the clutch fork correctly? It shouldn't be able to move out of the dimple if it is. What kinda clutch setup and trans do you have?

[ohthejosh]

i just replaced all rotors and all pads but the rears are making the scraping noise like the pad is constantly touching the rotor. Is this normal??

Also I have no ebrake anymore, how much does it cost to replace the ebrake?

[kronus]

I popped another damn slave cylinder! Damn it

Is this on a new engine build? You might have a single mass flywheel and a dual-mass pressure plate, in which case the whole assembly will be too thin for the slave to reach it. (ask me how I know)

Did you bed them in? They should drag slightly, but make sure nothing is caught between the pad and rotor or the rotor and dust shield. Might be the shield touching the rotor, too.

Exactly why I asked about clutch setup.

Ill check it out tomorrow, man how disappointing :( oh well. The rears are a PITA compared to the fronts.

idiots at their best...
I4 != V4

I'd never pay that much for an e30 with an owner who thinks it's a V4. Even worse than saying it's a V6 because at least those were sort of common...doesn't really bode well for the mechanical condition.

ya that cars easily worth $6 thow wow.

Definitely not. The interior is amazing though.

[freeride53]

Definately yes. To the right buyer it would be ;)

I advise you to watch these cars' value in the next few years.

375i?

if i went to check this out and it had a 7.?? liter swap i would shit bricks.


but whoever was looking for a 4-door this is a fucking steal if milage is true and car is clean.( i think it was mbonani)

Typo? Might have meant 735i, in which case that's a headache waiting to happen.

Probably more trouble than it's worth, but kinda curious what he's really got, lol.

try the "crc" guaranteed to pass smog. it cleans your whole fuel system and raises the octane level of your fuel. i've used twice and works all the time.

I've heard about it, but never really expected much from it..

Would that, plus seafoam, plus new spark plugs do any good? I really hope its nothing big like a bad cat like the guy at the ref station assumed :/

I'll be very excited to see my car's value skyrocket (not saying that it will or won't.) I still think it's worth about what I paid for it. I feel sometimes that I overpaid, but then when i look at what's out there...there's really nothing better for the price.

I bet the bottom horizontal section of the 2 is 325i is broken off and he thinks it's a 7

[Pantless Spency]

lol that would be hilarious

[e30shmobberr]

That's still super sketch... Are you running the 260..?

no the e36 m3 zf tranny.

I may have missed it but how's your throwout bearing?

i dont know to be honest. but bought a new febi slave cylinder and going to change my bleeding method first if that fails, ill dig into the problem deeper
