Where can I buy these batteries? Great video. Thanks!
Hi. I think they are used for some old cameras, so maybe film shops will have them - I'm not sure. Should be easy enough to find online - look for CR2 batteries
no issues?
Nope! I sold the car 3 months ago, so i used it for almost 3.5 years without problem. I don't have any new vs 3.5 year old brightness measurements, but i also just installed another set of LED headlights on the new car and don't notice any major differences in brightness.
@@PorchGarage Thank you very much . My gf's car Halogen headlight went out. and looking for a good replacement.

I wouldn’t bother if you gonna keep an original 318i motor as they’re just a cruising engine, so basically unless you’re gonna do an engine upgrade then no need to upgrade breaks. But good vid for those upgrading to more HP

Hi, I replaced my head lamp bulb but it still not working
What is the size of these rotors?
Sorry to resurrect an old topic but I’m trying to find one of the hoses and it’s like it doesn’t exist but you’ve got it, it’s the hose in the center at the top of the screen at 9:30, half metal half rubber. could you tell me what part that is cause I thought it was a return line but I can’t find anything anywhere about it. Thanks
Do u hv a Wokshop?
Hi kind sir.. ps advise me .. I m giving up., my Avanza steering (shaft) was leaking .. n repaired but aftr changed shaft .. still problm.. leaking Fr steering n the power steering becomes heavy n can’t turn left n right .. wat is the problem with my car? Ps help
Hi there. Sorry, I don't have the expertise to advise you on that. I'm just doing DIY maintenance on my own cars 😊 Perhaps a different workshop could fix your problem
This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Good video
Luar biasa
2:15 whats that exclamation point sensor for?
Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe a check engine light? www.e30zone.net/e30wiki/index.php/Instruments#Check_Light
or maybe brake fluid level?
Best video I've seen on this repair, thank you
Hi perhaps you should starts the engine first to see whether it can starts and also show if the water pump got any leaks , we really would like to hear how the engine sound after repair. 😄
Best vid of this repair on CZcams!
Hi FYI, the flat plate you place behind the brake pad is not a noise reduction plate. The plate will create a screeching noise when the pads is running low and should be install at the position on that side which the old pad is thinner.
Oh i see. Those prongs are the low pad indicators. Thanks!
Hi TJ, is it possible to just remove the steering coupling that connects the column to the rack without removing the rack? The reason I want to do this is to allow my exhaust manifold to be removed in order to weld the cracks. My situation is somewhat special. the manifold pipes sort of "wrap around" the steering column and it is impossible to take out the manifold without removing the coupling.
IIRC the bolts on that coupling can't be removed, so you can't just undo them and slide the coupling off. However, you might be able to wriggle the coupling off if you remove the bolts that hold the rack to the subframe and push the rack as far forwards as it can go.
I'm very impressed with the very thorough job. Your workshop etiquette and procedures are top notch. Well done, my friend. Keep it up. I'm looking forward to the next video
Thank you!
bro silau tak?
I turn down the headlight angle to "1". 0 is highest but i think it will be glaring for other drivers. My friends have no complaints about glare when i drive behind them.
What about bleeding the system?
Replacing the cylinders basically removes all the old fluid. Bubbles seem to travel upwards to the reservoir. I suppose if you want to just bleed the fluid and replace with new fluid, you can just undo the lines at the slave cylinder and the old fluid will drain out
Hi broo , all parts done , but rear brake need option every month . Whats the problem
thanks mate, very usefull!
The problem you initially had was that the force was being cushioned by the moving prop. Locking the prop was the solution.
Oh, I think you're right! Thanks for sharing
i opened my front brake wanting to change pads and found out the disc is solid disc with a single piston caliper. and my car is 325i. why do i NOT get vented discs?
Weird 🤷♂️ What i found online says that the 325i comes with ventilated discs. My upgrade was 325i-spec. Which country is the car from?
Malaysia johor car but all made in Germany 1988 CBU. but i heard from a friend too that the disc is vented too. he also told me the caliper is of double piston. Can you verify this? @@PorchGarage
Are these road legal in the UK?
Sorry, i have no idea
Nice video, and very clear, step by step instructions. Just picked up a 1991 E30, for restoration (first time ever), and love finding no nonsense content like this, that I can use as a tutorial. Thank you!!
Thanks for the video, but after changing this seal 3 times with 3 different ones - oil still leak like crazy, turns out my selector goes way too much inside when in 2nd and 4th it creates a gap for oil to escape (getrag 260)
Thanks for sharing that info
The unknown spring is regulating the automatic expading lever for the handbrake
Ah i see! Thank you

Hi TJ, what is the exact size or measurement of that fuel hose you replaced? i see a lot of fuel hoses for my 91 318is, but i don't know which ones to get. please advise. thank you!
Hah, i forgot to take note of the size 😅 According to the E30 Zone wiki, it's 8x13mm. www.e30zone.net/e30wiki/index.php/Fuel#Fuel_Hoses
What are the symptoms? My fuse is burning like hell, will this be a fix?
Hi. For me it was only the tachometer and speedometer which worked intermittently. I don't think the batteries would cause problems with the fuses.
Thank you!. Just picked up am E30 and the tachometer doesn't work. I'll try this!
Hope it works for you
@@PorchGarage thank you. I'll keep you posted
Long tie road make?
My e30s speedometer is sometimes at zero...the sometimes reads speed inaccurately can you do one on the speedo
Perhaps you can try the suggestions on E30Zone: www.e30zone.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=279606
I have the early model cluster The rpm isn’t working, so I should change the batteries?
Sorry, i have no idea. Maybe you can check on the E30Zone wiki and forum
@Elias did you find the source of the problem already?
@@mullerman1104 no I didn’t
Best option to buy a new cluster
@@EliasRizk53 Do the Interior lights work? If not it’s a fuse.
I already putted big one from 325 . But old brake bosster and brake center is same from (3.16i) Im feeling pedal is so soft . I need the change center from 3.25 ?
Sorry, i have no idea. Since brake upgrade is common, i think the info must be available on the E30Zone wiki
So what really holds dash? The bolts on side by a pillar? Just asking because I don’t need to remove the dash just needed to lift it a little to do some wiring work
Yes and the two metal clips just above the bolts, which just slide off. I don't remember anything else, but you might have to unlatch the glove box at least; and keep an eye on the ECU area in case anything gets snagged. But my memory is poor so don't rely on it 100% 😅
@@PorchGarage ok thanks, how long will it take to remove the dash from car?
Hey dosent the e46 rack of another car second hand, come with all this pipe kit already? Of will i need my orginal e30 pipe kit to fit on e46 rack?
The hoses on my e46 rack were cut and not included, so i reused the hoses from my e30.
Did you change the track rod ends i heard e36 are better and did you add rack spacers?
Did you change the track rod ends i heard e36 are better and did you add rack spacers?
@PorchGarage if your rack hoses on e46 etc were not cut, would they still need bending, etc ?
