Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In order to get the throttle housing coolant "manifold" thingy off, I undid the intake boot and ICV. The metal elbow which is press fit into the throttle housing is another great feat of engineering along with the loose coolant elbow at the thermostat housing worried me for the potential of air leaks. I slathered some Hylomar Urethane (blue) onto the barrel of the fitting. But I can't remember if there is any silicon in Hylomar. Anyone know? -Kevin ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 09 Feb 2005 13:49:16 -0500 From: marty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: off season wheel storage Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I found something called 'Ruffies Contractor Bags' at Walmart . Basically, they are big (45 gal), thick (3 mil) trash bags. They weren't expensive and they work great. Way, way better than the various lawn/leaf bags I had tried before finding these. I use them for transporting wheels/tires in the car but they're suitable for storage too - depending on your requirements and animals. Speaking of wheels, I have three 17x8.5" (17mm offset) AT Italia Type 5 Sport wheels that would like a good home. They are shiny-ish M-Contour look-alikes. They were on my '95 540i but maybe more suitable for E39 since they have 76mm hub diameter. I do have metal hub-centric rings for 74.5mm application (E34 at least). I gave the tires to my brother as he needed some all-season capabilities so I have wheels only. There are only three because one cracked and I sent it back to TireRack. I hope this is an appropriate addendum and if anyone is interested please e-mail me. Marty '96 M3 - 8 spare wheels/tires in basement, uncovered '95 540i/6 - 4 crappy spare wheels, uncovered + 3 decent ones looking for a home.

Of course, the show was done in German or something with an English speaking announcer doing voice-overs - and sometimes the translation phrases were strange sounding as well.

This is caused by the binding of the detent piston (same as the 5th gear problem highlighted in the Roundel). Anyway during the course of that discussion there was a cross thread trying to relate the 5th to 2nd gear overrev/mis-shift to this problem. It was discounted as related. However, I find that when the piston binds up, the gear shift is all of a sudden floating with no resistance from the spring to give some feedback on relative position. I would imagine this would also occur from the 5th gear position and could result in downshifting to the wrong gear since there is no force feedback from the stick. Bottom line, get it fixed or bigger problems can arise. -Kevin ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 09 Feb 2005 14:21:45 -0500 From: Neil Maller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: off season wheel storage Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 2/9/05 1:31 PM, wy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > http://www.vulcantire.com/tiretote_stt.htm?refad=GooTireBag >> >> But I like these better than the vinyl tire covers I'm using.

In the pic they seem to wrap around pretty well, although that depends on wheel/tire width. My vinyl covers are open like that too, but I make sure to load them covered side down. The open well side is also useful for stuffing tools etc. after I wipe off the bigger chunks of brake dust and tire snot with some paper towel. On the general subject of tire racking, I assembled 3-level storage using heavy duty industrial steel modular racks from Menards. Each 8' long level holds 7 or 8 tires, depending on section width. This way I've got storage for two sets of track wheels plus off-season snow/summer tires for three cars, all in a minimum footprint. The cost was about $125. Could email pix off-Digest if anyone cares.

It goes away when it's warmed up. I searched through the archives but can't find anything relative. I seem to recall a recent thread about a collar or bushing on the steering column which needs replacement. Many thanks. -Kevin ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 09 Feb 2005 15:27:05 -0600 From: Dennis Wynne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [email protected] Subject: Re: Hartge Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I used to watch "Driver's Seat" off of Canadian satellite (C-band, the big dish) and they used to call the Toyota Celica the "See-leak-a" and other such things.

There are some interesting devices coming into the market. Eg. a new Class D audio amp and new Mosfets with even lower Rds and gate charge. Should make for interesting products... smaller or more efficient. OBMWC- It seems to trend to 42V is stalled maybe because systems power draw is diminishing in automotive systems. -Kevin ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2005 08:45:47 -0600 (CST) From: "Kevin Jay (Mr.Fabulous)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: <E36> urethane RTABs... wet or dry Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Anybody with an E36 and urethane RTABs... did you install wet or dry, and are you having any problems with noise. - Kevin Jay '96 328is, 92K ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2005 10:00:45 -0600 From: Jamie Howton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Kevin Jay (Mr.Fabulous)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: <E36> urethane RTABs... wet or dry Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> When I installed them on my E46 I used the purple grease that came with them, 5K miles later still no squeeking at all. -- Jamie Howton 2002 330i 2000 M5 1995 M3 Hampshire, IL ------------------------------ End of [bmwuucdigest] digest(15 messages) **********
