This car belongs to the parents of one of our fanatics and came in for some maintenance. This car has only been serviced by the agents until now, its shocking to see what FSH really means...
Cloth and suede interior, quite rare.
Pretty clean on the top.
Keeping the broken kidney in place.
Missing a chrome tip.
Hood lining has been washed at some stage which caused it to shrink.
I replaced the tappet cover gasket, the rubber had become rock hard and brittle.
At the same time I replaced the spark plugs, these are what came out.
One tip was stuck in the coil, self tapping screw removed it.
Old vs new.
After some cleaning around the cylinder head.
New parts and cleaned parts.
Overnight in Prepsol.
Don't forget the drei bond!
Although this car had its regular servicing at BMW they don't change air filters too often...
At least they changed the air filter once or twice, same cannot be said for the fuel filter...
Old thermostat throwing an error.
Lower rad hose leaking around the temp sensor.
Old one off.
Old vs new.
The car is running great now and the owners are very happy with how the car performs. They say they will never take it to BMW again and that Im the only one to work on it in future, I look forward to seeing it next time.:ty:
