remember to drive it for 100 miles then do a oil change, thats what the tut said. | | | | | 10-13-2006, 03:23 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Halethorpe, MD Posts: 1,028 |
Depending on your mileage, definitely do the fuel filter. I'd throw in a new air filter if you haven't had one in a while. Check your tire pressures also. You might want to check this out, too. I haven't done it yet, but I going to soon. I wouldn't worry too much about the o2 sensors unless you're getting codes. See if Autozone or Advance Auto parts will pull your codes. They can tell you to a certain extent if the sensors are slowing down. www.auto-rx.com/index.html | | | | | 10-13-2006, 04:06 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 |

The other option using sea foam is by cleaning the internal engine by sucking it through the brake booster hose. This will clean the manifold and make a smoke show exiting the exhaust!  Fuel filter is good to do. Check wiring first before spending $$ replacing it. | | | | | 10-23-2006, 07:01 PM | #8 | | Member Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Pennsylvania Posts: 44 |
I'm new to doing anything more than spark plugs, air and fuel filters, and oil changes on my 318ti (M44) and e34 525i (M50, no VANOS). Anybody have a picture or description of the vacuum line or brake booster used for the sea foam? __________________
