I've noticed recently that some clients put "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" - messages sent to this address do not get to the list, but wind up in the admin's (my) inbox.

After 12 years, this foam deteriorates. Then chunks of it suck up against the intake screen of the HFM. Then when the turbo takes a big breath of air, the restriction causes the intake hose to collapse flat and severely limit power until you lift again. Amazingly, it didn't take us too long to find this. Just thought you would be amused. Go turbobricks!" At least this doesn't require much disassembly to fix. Let us not forget that for several years BMW would fit self-destructing rear shock mounts, requiring regular and frequent replacement unless the car was used extremely gently in climes with little temperature variation. My local dealer, on experiencing my indignation that a non-service item was practically expected to fail after two years and 30k miles, said "this is BMW's way of telling you to slow down over speed bumps and avoid cobblestones". Avoiding cobblestones in some European cities can be very difficult. I told him buying an A4 was my way of telling BMW to engineer the car properly next time. It looks like they have.

If you are going to track the car at all or autocross it, go with GC or JTD ones.

The noise is kinda halfway between a groaning and a grinding, I notice it only when turning, and only at slower speeds (may be there at higher speeds and I just can't hear it though...) I'd been thinking rear wheel bearings, but then it occurred to me that it could be the diff as well. Its also slowly getting worse. Is this a common failure? How bad are rear wheel bearings to replace on this car? Thanks!

Do as he says and you'll most likely be good to go. I will add that I strongly recommend Red Line 75W90. DON'T use their 75W90NS....

Its also slowly getting worse. My symptom was a low whirring sound. I was going to have the diff fluid analyzed but when I found it to be gray with metal fillings I knew it had no more life in it. I ended up going the Quaife route from Brett. -- ...steven TechFest East http://www.nccbmwcca.org/techfesteast 2003 Mini Cooper S 1996 BMW 328ti ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 2 Jan 2004 17:23:22 -0500 From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: E36 - Noise from the rear when turning Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mark, BTDT. Sounds like maybe the LSD. Fluid change may do the trick. Make sure you/they add the correct friction modifier, or it will be worse after than before. Mine was a few years ago, so I'm a bit foggy on all the details. My bet is someone on this list will be able to (and will) go into excruciating (very helpful) detail with you on this matter, which means my response, well, is just sorta quick... YMMV. HTH.
