I have the owner's guides in PDF format, but it is not covered and I don't have the radio or NAV books in PDF format, but I think that is it.

Push To Yodel, perhaps? It stands for "Program Type", and works with RDS (Radio Data System) to tell you what kind of programming a particular station plays (eg. "NEWS", "POP MUSIC", etc.). I've seen a few stations here in Southern California that broadcast PTY information. --Andre ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2005 09:41:23 -0800 From: "Reed Nicholson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: CD43 CD Player question Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks, Andre.

Tires are in good shape, with no plugs or repairs. 6/32 tread remaining (original was around 10/32, so they have about 1/2 of their useable tread remaining). Asking $50 each or $90 for a pair or $130 for all three, plus shipping from 19301.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Well, it seems as though my '97 540i (105K miles) has suffered the dealer's mantra "they all do that" catastrophic domino melt down. The general consensus is that the famous leaky valve covers have done their job once again by gradually filling up the wells w/ oil and causing the coils to short causing misfiring enough to slowly destroy the O2 sensors taking the cat w/ them and just as an added parting gift frying the DME as it does contortions trying to figure out what the F$&K it's suppose to compensate. Which on the early '97 540i models can't be repaired do to some mojo I'm not privy to. So far I'm looking at replacing the valve cover gaskets, 4 coils/boots, 2 O2 sensors, a cat and the computer. All this on a one owner 105K mile car. BTW, as a side note this will make the 3rd time a cat have bit the dust. I was thinking it had to be some kind of one off lemon, but as I did my homework this is a very common problem, one that BMW doesn't seem to feel any obligation to identify and fix. Before you ask no this isn't the engine production that had the earlier problems when the V8 540i came out, at least BMW was forced to go back to the drawing board on that one. So, I would like to know anyone that's BTDT and where to find a DME for under a grand, not to mention the other parts. Programa can't help because this early model doesn't have the "ports" that the later models '98 on have. Just a parting thought here, but if the DME's failure is somehow a loose or broken solder joint wouldn't it be worth a try to re solder every thing on the board or am I way off base? The way I look at it is that if I can't use the current DME and no body can repair it what harm would it do to try an fortify all of the soldering. I know I'm really reaching, but at a $1000 replacement...........? TIA Evan PS I need to sell my '95 M3 Automatic w/ 65K miles so I can fix the 540i. Black w/ gray, daughter driven, Daddy paid for!

And yes, it's an E36, the coupes didn't change until MY2000. When I drove the car home from work yesterday everything felt normal. Overnight temperatures were around 40F. This morning I hopped in, started it up, but it wouldn't go into any gear. The clutch pedal feels normal, i.e. the pressure seems about right and it didn't stick to the floor. I can easily slide the shifter into gear with the engine off. Luckily the track car is street legal so I could get to work. I didn't have time to do much in the way of diagnostics, though a quick look under the car didn't reveal any unusual-looking wet spots. I didn't check the reservoir level as I was already running late, but it was fine a couple of weeks ago. My first guess (after I confirm the fluid level) is the clutch slave. Is there a way to diagnose this other than by replacement? What else comes to mind? The car is, of course, parked outside (the track car gets the garage); its parking space is, of course, not quite level; it is, of course, raining :( TIA Steve '91 318is track car, has never let me down '99 323is driveway ornament for the moment '04 330xi spousal wundermachine, too bad about the mileage ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2005 09:55:22 -0500 From: "KMS- Brett Anderson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "UUC Digest" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: <E36> Won't go into gear Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> If pedal feels right, it's unlikely to be a slave, or master, problem. Try putting it in gear, foot on clutch, crank engine. My bet is your pilot bearing has seized.

What you could try is to jack the rear of the car (chocking the front), release the emergency brake, start the car in gear (2nd would probably be ok), press the clutch in, slowly apply the emergency brake. Worst thing that can happen is you will stall your engine. If this happens, it is probably more than just seized.
