This Dakar Yellow car belongs to a new fanatic and has come in for tidying up purposes.
I shall finish tidying up a few issues and it will then go to Gizmo to have the clutch and rear main oil seal checked out.
444YYY was kind enough to read codes for us as our INPA does not speak 1994 ZA build M3s and we found 11 faults.
3 of them crucial enough to stop the car from performing like a 325 let alone an M3.
Below a few pics of what was found.
The tensioner pulley....well what remains of the tensioner pulley
Wrong fan blade
Wrong bolts on the water pump pulley which will lead to complications as a 32 spanner is not made that thin as to fit in the diminished space.
We will likely have to grind the heads so as to fit it in to release the viscous
Note how the bottom radiator hose has swelled and how the incorrect serpentine belt is being used "being a 5 rib belt instead of the normal 6 rib"
Leaking PS hoses.
