any fuel leak could be trouble, period. The thing is down on the bottom of the firewall, inside the frame rail, on the opposite side of the exhaust and ignition system! ... What is more dangerous; that, or the people sitting in the back seat directly above the fuel tank?

Everything in Chicago is rusted out, just like here. Only old cars around here are european, or old hot rods.

I wouldn't say its a bad ride at all... it'll be 10x better than your Jetta, that's for sure. So are you going to come check that 318i out, or are you leaning towards the 325? (got a link for it?)

This job was on a my Mom's 1989 E30... when we bought it a few months ago, it still had the original tires on it (75,000kms!!)... for all I know, it has the original oil in it, and probably the original timing belt. It had a bit of an overheating problem, so I replaced the thermostat and it...

Pull off, push on. I always have spare clips from the dealer ready for when I break them. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=CA53&mospid=47490&btnr=51_2762&hg=51&fg=20

What a F--KING IDIOT!

You STIIIIILLL haven't told us what is wrong with fuel filters in the engine compartment.[?|]

I agree entirely with you here Cliff. I used to take my first car to a shop all the time... got too expesive, so I bought a $#!+load of tools and a big tool cabinet, and now I'm good to go. I don't really see any 80's model cars on the road any more, other than euro cars, and american cars...

I don't know about rough roads... mine doesn't like them... Rear shock mounts are prone to failure, but are cheap and super fast and super easy to replace. The 325i will not be good on gas if that's what you want out of your jetta. The 318i will be perfect, but if you want auto, then a 325i...

Sorry it came to $632.80 for a timing belt & tensioner ($50), water pump ($80), fan clutch($110), 3 belts ($30), 2 hoses ($35), coolant($15) and labour (3 hours @$80) plus tax.

He want's to know why.

I think I know the 318i you're looking at... I've been thinking of going to take a look at it myself. http://www.trader.ca/powerpage/details.aspx?vlotid=1171696&adid=7104754 I have become a fan of the 318i, having owned a couple 325e's and still have a 325i. (Even owned a 1992 VW jetta for a...

BavAuto= rip off artists. I'd never use them. They seem to me like they're more interested in selling cup holders, seat covers, and key chains than anything useful. I'd much rather use BMPdesign, or Turner MS, just my opinion. Think you'll drive down to Whitby for Bimmercruise08...

This is what we were trying to tell you!! You insist on things even though there are people telling you otherwise, and people backing it up. Glad you understand now.

I know 1,3,5.

Let me put this in a way you can understand; You rap a lot of jive, cat, n you ciznant bizzy it up. you stizzay aint told me W-H-to-tha-izzat tha problem witta fuel bitch in tha engine compartment is! stop dumb'n up this forum. callin' everyone idiots n T-H-to-tha-izzen say "no offence"?[thumb]

Gimme a break Cliff from Chicago (Nothing like living up to that Cities reputation, cat)... I've owned two E30 1986 325e's, and there is an E30 1988 325i, an E30 1989 325i, a 1991 E30 318i cabrio, a 1992 E30 318i cabrio, and a 1992 E34 sitting in my driveway (that's 5!), and just about every...

If the whole metal line is rotted, patching it with rubber won't really help... sure it will help you to go get new lines, but chances are that there won't be a good seal around the rusty line. Replace as much as you can, and try to use proper fuel line clamps, not just regular hose clamps.

The fuel pump might have something blocking the pickup... just a thought. Usually when the pump goes, it goes. Smetimes you can thump on the back seat and bring it alive again. If you want to test the pump, you can put an inline pressure gauge between the regulator and pump. Not sure what it...
