I've taken it to United BMW in the past, but was wondering if there are better options available. If anyone knows of an easy was to grab the codes for myself (and a way to interpret these codes!), that would also be spiffy! Kinda annoyed that this is the 2nd check engine light in the ~7 months I've had this car. Only ever had one mechanical problem with my `97 XK8 convertible (which I would still own if I thought I could realistically afford it - dang dot-com bubble burst!).

(2) more serious - after running on the highway for 1/2 hour or so then gettting off and just idling, the heat gauge goes up to the red zone - if I rev to about 2k rpms, it goes back to normal and is ok. This may happen a few more times during the day but always goes back to normal temp - just can't idle. Today, the weather was cooler had the heater on and I noticed at a traffic light the air from the heater became cooler (gauge normal) then when I started moving again the heat returned - any clues? - water pump?

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It looks like something designed to drain a battery pack... the LED shows when the pack is drained, and the pouch holds the battery against the doohickey. Or maybe it's an indicator so you can tell if the battery is charged... if you carry multiple batteries (like a cameraman maybe?) you'd need to be able to tell which are fresh and which are flat... -Howard ex-'89 325iX ex-'88 325iX '03 Subaru Impreza WRX ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2003 18:53:57 -0500 From: "Mike Gambini" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Bill P" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "BMW digest" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [bmwuucdigest] Daily digest (12 messages) Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Bill, You just need normal metric socket set stuff and allen wrenches. Remember to remove the allen screw holding the rotor on the hub, then give it a hit or 3 with a mallet to knock the rotor free of the hub. Need a coat hanger to hold up the caliper while you replace the rotor. C-clamp works fine for pushing the piston back in. It's recommended to open the bleed screw a little while using back the piston, so the old fluid goes out rather than back into the system(bad for ABS). Then bleed the brakes when done. Can do manually or get a vacuum bleeder like Mityvac($25). Pretty easy.

You will be sent notice of the date of the confirmation hearing, and you may object to confirmation of the plan and attend the confirmation hearing.
