Leonard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: a/c question Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Brett, if you have time.. I just rebuilt my Ac in my 88 735i, using a Sanden HD7 9.5 ci compressor, and a reciever drier and switch for 134. I jumped the "mid level switch" from the old drier, back to itself, as the new switch is just one switch with 2 pigtails that fit the factory harness. There is no third switch on the new reciever, and the BMW dealer parts guy told me that they didn't use it anymore anyway. There was one switch on the old bosch compressor that isn't on the sanden, but it looked like the two wires on it were factory jumpered to each other at the connector. Anyway, the system runs cool, a little too cool, like 17 degrees at1500 rpms with the low speed fan on. Outlet temp is about 40 at road speeds. Pressures are 40 lo and 225 hi, so it looks like those are right. The compressor never cycles, it just runs continuously, and the pressures are very consistent. I am assuming the new switches control high and low cutouts, but I don't think they would kick if the pressures are in the range. Am I missing something here..Is the expansion valve suspect? I would think that it should close when the temp drops, and thus raise the pressure to the point the compressor clutch kicks out? Any thoughts..(crackpots on the internet..using factory parts to do it right...$10 wrench set..) would be appreciated. Should I insulate the glove box and add a condenser there for the beer supply? I think at this rate I could probably keep the entire trunk at 33 degrees.

What you should see is a 12V supply to one side of each injector. To open the injector, the controller momentarily grounds the other side, thus creating the 12V potential across the 2 terminals. 3 injectors fire at a time. If you're probing with just a trusty meter, you probably won't see anything happening, because the injector pulses are exceedingly short at idle. If your meter has special settings for dwell or injector duty cycle, then it will probably get a reading. -- "It is an honor to be Cookie Monster." -Sesame Street spokeswoman Audrey Shapiro ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Jun 2004 13:22:12 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Airbag removal Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Considering replacing my stock steering wheel (w/air bag) with a very nice Momo peice.

I do believe reading in previous posts that you need to replace your seat belt that is designed for use without an airbag. ...steven ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Jun 2004 12:30:45 -0500 From: "Beaudette, Roland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Uuc (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: pressure bleeder Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Why don't you make one?

BTW these are likely inverted shocks, so the seal at the top is for dirt only.
