UUC 125$ at Understeer.com
and I just had to order a replacement line for the inner rear due to me stripping threads with one in the set. Line + waterpump threaded cap plus shipping 40$. | | | | | 03-06-2006, 10:55 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Muncie, Indiana Posts: 1,551 |
Glad to hear the lines work well. I recently took out all a/c components except for the compressor that is bolted to the block. If you have good ways of getting that out without getting the car on a lift let me know. | | | | | 03-06-2006, 11:35 PM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Port St. Johns, Florida Posts: 2,242 |
nope.
hoping to get on a lift mid-week. | | | | | 03-08-2006, 10:11 PM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Hilliard, Ohio Posts: 122 |
I got nervous about the fitment after recognizing some of the names as 318ti owners, so I checked the BMW part numbers on the lines... the 318ti lines are the same as E30 lines. I called Rob L to confirm since UUC lists them as "exc ti", yet they're listed as fitting the E30, he had simply assumed that the 318ti rear end was different. Glad to see that my concerns were unfounded  | | | | | 03-08-2006, 11:08 PM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Port St. Johns, Florida Posts: 2,242 |
other than mashing the threads on a inner rear line(My fault for trying to force it at 2am w/o no patience left) the install was smmoooth.
worse bit was finding a couple liters of denatured alcohol to clean out my pressure bleeder. ACE hardware had it on hand I found out. | | | | | 03-08-2006, 11:18 PM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Hilliard, Ohio Posts: 122 |
Been there, done that. I managed to snap an E46 330i 6-speed's shift carrier in half in the middle of the night while doing an Evo3 install... I was able to whip up a reinforcement piece out of a steel rod ground to fit and bolted the carrier back together. That was fun. Anywho, your replacement line should be in your hands by Friday/Saturday. | | | | | 03-08-2006, 11:54 PM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Port St. Johns, Florida Posts: 2,242 |
also had a pisser finding someone who had a belt for a single belt M42, which is NOT the same as the M44, I had to pull the belts from both the 97 and 95 to show one part dept boy the differance. | | | | | 03-18-2006, 01:34 AM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 |
I remember on my Scirocco, which had stainless lines, that the two ends of the line compete with each other when tightening. Since there are no swivels on the ends of the lines, wouldn't turning it tighter on one side tend to loosen the line on the other side? What I had to do in the Scirocco was remove the caliper, then rotate the whole caliper with the line attached to it, so that I could tighten the other side of the line. I hope you see my point. If you try to tighten one side, then the other side of the line, you could kink the line.

I have Teflon lines and you screw it into the caliper first, then the hard line end has a degree of swivel to it allowing it to be tightened without damaging anything.
You don't need to apply Caterpillar diesel torque to it either... | | | | | |
