- Fixed external temp sensor to OBD
- Reinstalled a lower pan for better cooling until I get the Improved WolfERJ version
- Replaced rear strut tower bar
- Leather treated the interior
- Reset the service indicator
Took it for a spin, tighter and more responsive. The used tranny mounts made a difference over the sheared ones. I should check/replace the motor mounts I suspect as well, when I replace the tranny mounts with fresh ones. Overall, felt tighter and some rattles are now gone. Aside from the motor mounts, next is her headliner and proactively replace the ignition lock as I noticed it spun on me a few times this weekend. __________________ 1998 318ti Sport - "Cali" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, Cali top 1998 318ti Sport - "Max" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, S52 1997 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior 1995 318ti Active - "Blanca" Alpineweib III/Schwartz leather interior Other Current Bimmers: 2006 530i / 2000 2.3L Z3 / 1997 1.9L Z3 / 1999 540it 1997 318ti Sport - "Huera" - RIP 1995 318ti Active - RIP 1995 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Sold 1994 325i Sedan - "Jade" - Sold 1991 318ic - "Bert" - Sold 1985 635csi sold 1984 533i "Max" Sold 1984 318i sold BMWCCA #160411 SUPPORT 318ti.org!

The driver's window switch broke right before we moved back. It was super easy to fix. I'm thinking I should change careers and be a BMW mechanic. | | | 07-13-2015, 05:11 AM | #97 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Sacramento, CA Posts: 2,451 | It all counts!

I need both left and right fronts. Figure that would be good to take care of at the same time as the underpanel from James.

It's the best car, but it's had so many issues. I'm going to sell it and drive ezippy for a while.

No TI work this weekend other than putting an Arkon mount in for my iPhone I did do a rear wheel bearing replacement on my son's 325i that was the repair from hell. Should easier when I get around to the TIs when needed.
