Hopefully didn't warp the head Anyway I also have an exhaust manifold leak so was wondering if it would be easier to lift the engine to do both jobs? It was a real PITA putting my headers on before (probably didn't do it right seeing as how my manifold leak returned). Seeing as how I need to do two jobs in hard to reach areas. Maybe I could lift the engine a bit? Or would the transmission aspect be too much of a PITA itself? | | | 12-29-2012, 07:58 AM | #137 | Member Join Date: Aug 2012 Location: Vancouver, BC Posts: 67 | Always put the point that swapping a 328i engine is sometimes if not not all cases seems the easiest and cheapest solutions if anything happened to the Engine.. I can't say I'm waiting for my engine to explode as I'm highly maintaining it but it is ridiculous to see people pay a lot of money to fix their engine and they can pay the same amount and replace the whole thing with a way better engine and save themselves the headache! | | | 01-01-2013, 09:48 AM | #138 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2011 Location: Texxas Posts: 110 | I'm not paying anyone to fix it just going to garage DIY it, seeing as how both projects (exhaust manifold & coolant pipes) involve hard to reach bolts I was wondering if it would be better to lift my engine a bit to get to everything. | | | 03-07-2013, 12:57 PM | #139 | Junior Member Join Date: Jan 2013 Location: Douglasville Posts: 4 | Why there is no replacement of this plastic part. There must be some other solution or part. I am also looking for a solution of this problem. | | | 03-07-2013, 07:44 PM | #140 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: South Central, MN Posts: 1,065 | Quote: Originally Posted by julianmac1212 Why there is no replacement of this plastic part.

Chances are you will only have to replace it once anyways. __________________ | | | 03-13-2013, 07:17 PM | #141 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2010 Location: Southern California Posts: 107 | I swapped the block plastic on a '95 M42 with 150K miles and the piece broke apart in my hands. I swapped the block and head plastic pieces on a '98 M44 with 330K miles and both were in great condition (other than o-rings being stiff). The M42's use a higher temperature fan switch 91/99C vs the M44's 80/88. And in my case I found the M42's low speed fan circuit was not working. It was only cooling at 99C trigger point. 176F versus 210F. In late '95 early '96 BMW decided to lower the fan switch for the 318Ti. Why? A lower temperature is less efficient, reduces fuel mileage, and increases wear/load on the alternator. There is no reason to reduce temp unless they found a pre-ignition problem and i doubt that was reason. Perhaps BMW recognized the 318's cooling system weakness and tried to band aid it with a lower fan temperature. Also, refurbishing the M42 cooling system is a little easier than the M44.

I am looking at buying a to for my son. My question is why is this not an issue on the sedan or couple? Or am I missing something and they have the same issue. Thank you | | | 03-15-2013, 05:36 AM | #143 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Sacramento, CA Posts: 2,451 | It is the same issue for M44 318i Sedans. Basically a M42 (1 pipe) or M44 (2 pipes). The 6 cyls dont have the same two failing water pipes. They just have one large failing plastic piece known as the radiator. __________________ 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!

I think that has a similar ABS flange 11537560130 on the block and a flange off the head also. It looks more robust than the M42 and M44 versions. But, it's still plastic attached directly to the block. I'd only consider changing it at 300K km 10years unless I happened to have easy access to it beforehand. | | | 05-28-2013, 04:41 PM | #146 | Junior Member Join Date: May 2013 Location: Vancouver Posts: 6 | Does anyone know the torque specs for the bolts for these two pipes? In the process of changing them out now. Thanks. | | | 07-10-2013, 08:39 PM | #147 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Ottawa, ON Posts: 108 | Surely enough at 130k my y-pipe snapped within both hoses..can anyone help me find the hoses that go to the head connector? I'm going to replace them even though they look fine. Looking forward to throwing everything back together since I labeled squat. __________________ The only time I look forward to a red light is to read a text | | | 07-10-2013, 10:08 PM | #148 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Elizabeth City, NC Posts: 3,877 | __________________ ~Dave~ 98 328ti Morea Grun slicktop 11 128i space gray slicktop 13 JGC WK2 Deep Cherry Search | RealOEM | | | 07-11-2013, 03:51 AM | #149 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Ottawa, ON Posts: 108 | awesome thanks! __________________ The only time I look forward to a red light is to read a text | | | 07-25-2013, 02:14 AM | #150 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Ottawa, ON Posts: 108 | Two weeks after replacing the connectors i had another major leak loosing about half my coolant. Leak came from under the manifold so I tore it all down and all the hoses leading to the connectors are fine. No signs of leaking. This fixture that leads a hose to the Y looks questionable but I have no idea what it is. Any opinions would be great thanks! __________________ The only time I look forward to a red light is to read a text | | | | | 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 | | | |
