BMW 318IS 1997

On a related note... I thought BMW went with timing chains cos the last the life of the motor... Is that an ideal case but different in practice?

i am "a lucky bugger" to have a cambelt that needs changing every 40 000Km

I thing only 6 cyl has timing chains. Btw Great car. Take it 2 Zeemax for service.

I took my E30 325 to Zeemax in January
They are good,and the service was good to!a bit expensive tho!
But then again,you get what you pay for!

Hi
I got another silly question
Can i swop the clock with a trip computer from a 328?
The one that gives you fuel consumption,ect?
And will everything work?

 

[Jandre]

Yes you can, and yes it will work. Speak to parts guru Gizmo. He has (had) 2 of them in stock. Apparantly it is straight forward plug out, and plug in. The car is pre wired for this.

I wanted to do the same thing, and discussed it with him, but then bought the 540i, so the 318 took a bit of a backseat.

 

[Leon]

Thanks for the help Jandre
Send him a PM

Would really like to do this

 

[Leon]

Finally i did this!
Bought the 18 button OBC from Gizmo
Fitted it this weekend,its just a straight swap,it took 10 min!

Hi all.
I got a question regarding the OBC
Everything works fine
But the Check Control says Check Control Inac.
And my Fuel Consumption reading is off,telling my i'm getting 20l/100km :hammerhead:

Anyone knows how to fix this?:dunno:
