---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2005 19:15:10 -0700 (PDT) From: Jonathan Brush <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: <E34> 535i intermittent ABS/ASC fault Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gruppe: I posted this at the UUC Garage so I apologize to those denizens here. Car is a '92 535i 5sp w/117K mi. Problem is intermittent ASC and ABS lights. I can get them to light up by hitting a moderate sized bump. Sometimes I get just the ABS ("antilock") orange light but most of the time the ASC orange light goes on as well. The lights go off when I switch off the ignition of course and stay off upon restart until I hit another bump. The only other symptom is that the ABS seems to cycle very briefly on easy application of the brakes, when the ABS light is off (I presume the ABS doesn't work at all when the light is off). I had the car at my mechanics today (they do my brakes and shocks etc but are not BMW specialists). They thought I had a bad wheel sensor but this did not cure the problem. Tried to use their scanner but could not get code readout. I don't know what kind of scanner they use. Now I have it booked at a local BMW specialist from Brett-recommended International Association of Independent BMW Service Professionals list (Autobahn in Natick MA). They claim to have the appropriate scanner etc. Never used them before. Any ideas? On the Garage some suspected the brake travel sensor. Thx, Jon __________________________________ Yahoo!

The cool part is how it zooms out, spins the Earth and then zooms back in to the next address you give it. We found Gingerman, Grattan, Waterford, VIR, Putnam and I forget what else.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Every time I think I've worked out which M3's have the CV, and which don't, a diff buyer blows my theory out. I do know that NO automatic M3 had the CV, they all had the 4 bolt universal setup. Many 95's had the CV, not many 96 and later, but it still almost appears to be a random choice on what got put in what car.

I replaced it with one from a dead car, it was a slightly different style (based on the year of the donor car) and there were NO problems with installation or use. I can't comment on why the gentleman had this challenge. I agree with the comments of using NEW belts (the part with webbing), this is what wears more and stretches over time. Hence why aircraft, race cars, etc. require them to be replaced at specific intervals.

Is it a RFID system? The book says its a 'chip' but the system has a ring antenna around the ignition cylinder so it must be reading the chip via RF and not via a direct electrical connection. Thanks for any info.

The M52/S52 intake is very restricted. Only 10 hp? Perhaps with stock everything else, but to really make the engine sing, an M52/S52 needs more cam.
