Anything rubber must be replaced. I just ordered a new Idle Control Valve and I am thinking I might as well order a new Crankcase Vent Valve. Quite a few things have been breaking down on my car recently. Radiator, oil filter housing gasket, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, and of course my headliner. haha. Well I guess I am going to be trying to make a big purchase from pelican parts. Bavauto let me down this week when they put my ICV on backorder for 1 to 2 weeks. They are always out of stock and don't tell you. __________________ custom dual exhaust,M3 front and rear bumper, 10.4 inch roof mount drop screen, Viper alarm system, DSII's rims, M3 Vader Seats, M3 Mirrors, Carbon Fiber CAI, Smoked Corners, Side Markers, Leatherz armrests, black grilles 225k miles and still the Ti goes on | | | 01-31-2009, 03:30 PM | #17 | Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: N.W. VT Posts: 33 | Electrical Problem Do you have a spare key? The problem you are having may be the computer chip (EWS) in the key. When I first got my car I had the dealer make up a spare key ($83), and it did not start the car. The dash lights came on but the starter did not work?? At first I thought weak battery because the car had been sitting, but when I used the key that came with the car it started fine. I took the key back to the dealer and they had to replace it, the chip was wrong?? They were not happy the replacement was on them. I have been using the replacement for a year and half no more problems. I would check the key first, electrical parts are usually not returnable. Hate to see you buy a relay and find out thats not the problem. I allways start with simple stuff first and work up from there. Good Luck. | | | 02-05-2009, 12:28 AM | #18 | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Miami Beach Posts: 18 | Hi guys , i saw this tread and as the guy who started it i have 1998 318Ti and i am from Miami as well , and i also doesnt had the click sound i took it to BMW service since i dont understand nothing from cars and they told me that my both computers are burned because of leak from CAWL pretty much thats what their estimate is saying SERVICE / WORK REQUESTED PARTS IN STOCK LABOR SUB TOTALS APPROVED 7 DME COMPUTOR $1,339.00 8 EGS COMPUTOR $1,359.00 9 DME RELAY $30.00 10 CAWL PANEL ANS SEAL MODULE BOX $55.00 11 12 LABOR TO RESEAL COWL AND REPLACE MODULE BOX 13 WITH REPLACING DME , EGS , DME RELAY 5.8 $980.00 TOTAL $4,030.12 My question is what i should do? | | | 02-05-2009, 05:37 PM | #19 | Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: new york Posts: 6 | 96 318 ti no start how u doin guys , i just joined the site and i wanna say thank you! i was goin insane ...i had a no start where my car would try and crank over and wouldnt start i read this forumn where the guy said to check my fuse and i found my fuse to the brain and auxilary fan was blown...changed fuses and car started right back up...im an auto technician and i overlooked the most simplistic things...thanks guys..now i know if it happens again i could possibly have a short at my pcm... | | | 02-05-2009, 09:40 PM | #20 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Memphis, Tn Posts: 1,299 | Quote: Originally Posted by bobytt Hi guys , i saw this tread and as the guy who started it i have 1998 318Ti and i am from Miami as well , and i also doesnt had the click sound i took it to BMW service since i dont understand nothing from cars and they told me that my both computers are burned because of leak from CAWL pretty much thats what their estimate is saying SERVICE / WORK REQUESTED PARTS IN STOCK LABOR SUB TOTALS APPROVED 7 DME COMPUTOR $1,339.00 8 EGS COMPUTOR $1,359.00 9 DME RELAY $30.00 10 CAWL PANEL ANS SEAL MODULE BOX $55.00 11 12 LABOR TO RESEAL COWL AND REPLACE MODULE BOX 13 WITH REPLACING DME , EGS , DME RELAY 5.8 $980.00 TOTAL $4,030.12 My question is what i should do? | I would say try to see how much it would cost if you buy the parts yourself and do the labor yourself. Could save you thousands. __________________ custom dual exhaust,M3 front and rear bumper, 10.4 inch roof mount drop screen, Viper alarm system, DSII's rims, M3 Vader Seats, M3 Mirrors, Carbon Fiber CAI, Smoked Corners, Side Markers, Leatherz armrests, black grilles 225k miles and still the Ti goes on | | | 02-05-2009, 09:43 PM | #21 | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Miami Beach Posts: 18 | Quote: Originally Posted by Will'sBimmer I would say try to see how much it would cost if you buy the parts yourself and do the labor yourself.
