Hello viewers, Here is my first ever video. I always wanted to own a BMW and last year that dream became a reality, since then I stared at it during multiple hours and gave it much attention. I hope you like the video :) (For the US viewers the bmw e46 316i has a petrol 1.9 liter naturally aspirated engine producing aproximatively 105hp) and was sold only in Europe.

    Hello friend, I have the n42 engine 318i e46 2002 my car drives me crazy for a misfire in cyl 3 but when I get some rpms and speed and get low the car don’t show the misfire, I checked with inpa las time and get the 2823 error oxygen sensor heater before cat but the car have 4 sensors and I can’t realize which sensor I have to replace, because this sensor may be it’s the reason of the misfire cyl 3 . Can you tell me witch sensor it’s? Thank you

    • @_Project46_
      @_Project46_ Před 2 měsíci

      Well if you do have 4 oxygen sensors, there are probably 2 sensors before the the catalytic converters and 2 after, the ones after are only there to tell if the catalytic converters are doing there job. The ones before comunicate with the ecu so if you have misfires, those could be the faulty ones I would try replacing both of the front ones🙂

    • @rikymalone
      @rikymalone Před 2 měsíci

      @@_Project46_ thank you for the reply? You tell me that the after cat don’t cause misfire correct? That’s important, becouse 2 sensors are from the exhaust so the engine immediately cyl 1 and 4 and 2 and 3, then other sensor before cat and one after cat . In the real oem page the diagram name ones as lamba probe and other monitor oxygen so, what’s the difference and which one is the faulty? Thank you

    Thank you for a very clear explanation of how to do this replacement! Bonus points for including the torque spec for the wiper arm nuts too :) This is on my list of things to do on my 2004 E46 once I've got the more important mechanical jobs out of the way. Thanks again! I assume the clips didn't come with the cowl; they're a separate part(s) right?

      Hi there! Im glad you liked the video, and thank you so much for the support, I really appreciate it🙂. Actually the clips are included with the cowl as well as the rubber gromets for the wiper arms so its pretty much all ready to be mounted.

    I have had good results removing the sticky paint with isopropyl alcohol as well, it leaves a scratch-free surface ready for priming and painting. We used that kind of paint on equipment ment for use on a ship's bridge, but man, that became just a sticky goo after 8-10 years.. Also, for better scratch resistance, you may consider 2k paint.

    I have tried your approach on some test pieces of plasic and found that as the colour is black the resulting surtace shows up scratches very easily,, more so than the original soft touch - I have tried matt lacquer on top also but this doesn't improve things. How is your interior holding up?

      Hi Jaap, I'm sorry that this method did not work for you, to be honest I was worying about the same thing before I did it but after thurough testing with nail scratches I did not see any visible scratches apear, to be fair I haven't tried it with any metal object but but in general the finish on my parts stayed the same ever since. Maybe its a different paint or a different type of plastic?

    Hi, i have problem "lean to rich sensor threshold" is it related to the oxygen sensor ?

    • @_Project46_
      @_Project46_ Před 9 měsíci

      Hi, thank you for the comment, the O2 sensor is the main component used for monitoring the engine's air fuel ratio and running conditions, if the ecu tells you the A/F ratio is to lean, it is getting that information from the pre cat o2 sensor, it might be a faulty sensor but it could also mean you have an issue with the injection system, a vacuum leak... Causing the engine to run lean.

      Well the best way to find out where the problem is would be to use an obd scaner to look for fault codes, I personally had the same symptoms with a permanent camshaft sensor code so if you don't have a scanner, replacing that sensor would be the first thing to try.

That car has a hopeless interior and very, very rattly.

I hope this helps🙂
