Sorry if it shows up twice! I'm considering replacing the timing belt on my 1987 325is, and the task seems very manageable aside from one potential complication. The Bentley manual states that some older engines have a two piece hub on the crankshaft that is secured with a center bolt torqued to 300 ft. lbs. If this is the case with my engine, I don't think I'll be able to manage getting that off to remove the belt. How do I know prior to taking the thing apart if my engine has this two piece hub? Any other tips would also be appreciated.

It's conceivable they exist, but..... No need to remove the centre bolt unless you have a one piece. Once the balancer/pulleys are off the hub, the belt will come off around the hub.

Damage is suprisingly minor, these cars are very sturdy. I am hoping someone can email me a diagram for the various pans and air deflectors behind the bumper cover. All of mine are gone as are the foglights and lower grill. I am debating about fililng an insurance claim as it is a $ 500 deductible and I'm wondering if I can just buy the pieces and put it together myself for less a than that. Anyone have an ETK or similar that they can share an image or two from? Maybe even some parts they want to sell?

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'm sure some of our more scientifically minded members can tell you why. I say it because BMW says it. Given that the belt is $20, and the catastrophic damage a failed belt causes, it's a no brainer anyway.

Where will I find the sensors? TIA Roger Boston, MA What was wrong with the old sensor? If it was shorted or open, there might be an instant light. When it is merely dead, the ABS needs to see 3 signals but not the 4th to know it is bad.

I don't recall the exact routing of the rear, but I'd guess it's similar. Basically, my advice would be twofold: 1) there are only two wires around your front brakes - the pad wear sensor and this one, and 2) buy the Bentley manual. It's a really easy fix - once you know which one is bad... Neil --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I believe I may have a similar problem. Where will I > find the sensors?

Carlos, I have the BMP distribution block, which either is the JTD part or a knock-off. It works fine. on 7/26/04 11:59 AM, "Marco Romani" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > BMP sells a distribution block.

Not too long ago I relocated my oil temp sensor from the oil drain plug to the BMP distribution block. From a theoretical perspective I preferred the pan location, but it's a bit of a pain in practice. However I've noticed no general difference in temperature readings.

But I ran out of holes - I use the stock idiot light sender to light up a BIG warning light, a vdo sender to drive a pressure gauge and the stock oil light set to light at 29psi, and an accusump. VAC Motorsports makes a really trick oil distribution block, but it is $600, but probably worth it when you see it up close.
