Either way, you'll more than likely need a new cylinder head. __________________ No more ti. | | | 03-18-2010, 01:29 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 | EDIT...beat me to it.... Stop killing the engine. Youve likely blown the hose at the rear of the engines head. Its about a 20$ part and a few hours of labor if its your first time. Short trips cause white smoke btw. You need a new battery, as yours is dead, also have the alternator checked after you put a battery in, or jump it, remove the battery, and see if the engine stays running. If it runs, alternator good, if not, alternator bad, i have one here if need be for you. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone 1998 Schwartz II sport 318ti - M50TUB25/5 | | | 03-18-2010, 01:38 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Miami, FL Posts: 874 | i forgot to mention that the day the belt popped white smoke filled the inside of the car and there was coolant all over the engine bay.. and when you say a couple of hours of work what would i have to do to get to that plastic pipe? | | | 03-18-2010, 01:52 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 | There are a few ways to get to it, mainly need to remove the cowl and wire harness above the engine. You can remove the battery and tray and reach back there to try and remove the bolts to it. Or, if youre like me, remove the cowl and harness, then the engine mounts to tilt the engine forward and down, thus giving you a decent amount of room to remove, install, and properly torque it. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...61&hg=11&fg=15 #8 and 9 as well as new clamps __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone 1998 Schwartz II sport 318ti - M50TUB25/5 | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
