As soon as Rifledriver pointed out what they were, I tracked and traced them all and it was totally obvious. Unfortunately, they probably all have...
That's a whole lot better than the prices I'm seeing online for replacing the entire assembly. The press sounds similar to what we use for...
You are 100% correct. This is going to be a steep learning curve.
I'm trying to decode the parts breakdown for this online, and can barely tell what I'm looking at. Is this a "bridge hose"? [ATTACH]
Thank you for the heads up. I came to the conclusion this was part of the fuel injection system, but not that it was a fuel line. I had avoided...
In the process of troubleshooting this cooling issue, I managed to snap this vacuum hose. Honestly, I think after 38yrs., it had been waiting to...
What's the coolant that everyone recommends? AGIP antifreeze is listed in the Owner's Manual, but it doesn't seem to be available any longer....
Thanks Raemin. Confirmed. All three fans do work when the wires are crossed. Looks like I've got a bad temperature switch.
The fuses check out for all three fans; we have keyed power. Can the fans be tested by crossing the wires at the temp switch?
Rifledriver, you are correct. It was clearly shown on pg45. I was only looking at the fuse layout on pg107, so I was in the wrong section of the...
I have to assume some of these wire splices aren't from the factory. The fuses that I was looking for all check OK, so moving along... [ATTACH]
Yes. I didn't understand what the manual was showing me. It's the entire footwell. The whole thing. Lesson learned.
Just checking before I start pulling back the carpet.
My third stupid question is how to get into a locked glove box (no key), but right now finding the fuses are more important.
Thanks Rifledriver. Is that under the glovebox, behind kick-panel, or behind carpet?
I'm pretty sure that the cooling fans aren't working. Actually, I'm certain of it. This leads me to my next stupid question - where are the...
So, I ended up cheating. This is actually an oil filter tool, but it worked. Unfortunately, what I found isn't good. The radiator is full, but...
I'm going to go ahead and ask one of the stupidest questions possible. I've tried to avoid the issue, but I can't avoid it any longer. The...
Thanks raemin. Alas, my problem isn't the through-bolt, but rather the pivot. It's the part that's loose. Can these mirrors be removed without...
Just got a new (to me) 1987 412i. This car has a few issues, so we'll start with a couple small ones first. I've got floppy / loose mirrors on...
