I believe the sensor plug is connected to the whole harness of the engine bay, where the headlights connections are. __________________ -Theta Chi- Float like a cadilac, sting like a BIMMER .... my socket is just too thick and won't fit in the hole! damnit!

Besides that, you can't connect it, because we don't have a bigger boordcomputer. The 'other' E36 show 'coolant level low' on the computer screen. You can leave the sensors in place, unconnected, and check so now and then __________________ S50B32, manual 6-speed, LSD, Z3 M rear axle, ///M sport package, 17" LTW's, Eibach Pro-Kit | | | 09-28-2009, 11:03 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: TAMARAC, Florida Posts: 191 | Quote: Originally Posted by BMW_Hatchback bfc might have some DIYs | I've already checked on there, didn't find anything. __________________ 96ti M52 swap soon to come.

Seems like an unecessary headache to me. Just check your fluids regularly and keep an eye on your temperature gauge. If it really bothers you, it'd probably be better to wire up a temp warning light or alarm buzzer. | | | 09-29-2009, 11:31 PM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 | well for the coolant level sensor you can just swap it out of the 318ti radiator cooland resevoir and swap it into the M3 radiator. thats what i did, and it works fine ever since i've done it. __________________ -Theta Chi- Float like a cadilac, sting like a BIMMER .... my socket is just too thick and won't fit in the hole! damnit!

If you're gonna swap the entire saloon-dash, I would suggest to use the entire car harnass, with climate control. Otherwise I wouldn't even try, a waste of time and no advantage in my eyes. __________________ S50B32, manual 6-speed, LSD, Z3 M rear axle, ///M sport package, 17" LTW's, Eibach Pro-Kit | | | | 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 | | | |
