---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 07 Jun 2007 10:48:29 -0700 From: Peter Loron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: E36 fan shroud removal Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A little further into the saga of replacing the radiator expansion tank on my 98 E36M3 without draining the cooling system and removing the radiator. I had a bit of time to dig into things, and I found that while I could unhook the upper little hose from the expansion tank, I could not get the tank out of the shroud, apparently because the lower big hose is hooked into the shroud somehow. So, looks like I need to remove the shroud to get the tank out. I can see that I'll need to remove the fan. The shroud is hooked to the radiator at the top by those two little snap-in buttons. How about the bottom...does it just rest in some brackets? What about the bottom hose? Can I unhook the shroud and tip it away from the radiator without needing to unhook the lower hose? Any data gratefully accepted! Thanks. -Pete ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 07 Jun 2007 14:03:05 -0400 From: KMS- Brett Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Peter Loron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: E36 fan shroud removal Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> There is nothing securing the bottom of the shroud, it has tabs that slip into hooks. The fan needs to come off the water pump. You can feed the lower hose through the shroud, on the left side, enough to allow you to raise the shroud/tank assembly out of the car. The bottom hose on the tank not coming out because the clamp is interfering.

All in all, AutoCheck seems to be as good or better - and for the same price you got 60 days of unlimited reports VS 30 days for CarFax. To update: I got an AutoCheck account a few weeks ago while looking for a car for my son. I have used CarFax in the past, but AC offers 60 days rather than CF's 30 days. Also in the past CF has busted my ba!!s over the amount of reports run with an "unlimited" 30 day account. I did a comparison between the two last year and they seemed to have similar info with the edge going mostly to AC who gave you twice the days for the same price. So I order up the "unlimited" 60 plan and start running reports. We found and purchased a car for my son, but I am sort of looking for a different car for me now. Imagine my surprise when I get this notice today: "Our records show that you have accessed 25 reports or more in less than 60 days with an AutoCheck Unlimited or AutoCheck + TitleGuard consumer account. The AutoCheck consumer terms and conditions state, in relevant part: AutoCheck Vehicle History Reports ("Reports") purchased on the AutoCheck consumer site (www.AutoCheck.com), either directly or through affiliates, are intended for personal use only, and not for commercial use. "Commercial use" is defined as use by persons engaged in the business of buying and/or selling of automobiles, the resale or redistribution of the Reports, or any other business purpose. Without limiting the foregoing definition, personal use of the service is defined to not ordinarily exceed 25 Reports during any 60-day period from the date of purchase. ANY COMMERCIAL USE OF THE AutoCheck VEHICLE HISTORY REPORTS PURCHASED ON THE AutoCheck CONSUMER SITE IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED AND ANY SUSPECTED COMMERCIAL USE WILL LEAD TO THE DEACTIVATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT AND MAY RESULT IN LEGAL PROSECUTION. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO IMPOSE, AND YOU AGREE TO PAY TO EXPERIAN, AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE OF $19.99 FOR EACH AutoCheck VEHICLE HISTORY REPORT THAT EXPERIAN DEEMS WAS ACCESSED FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES.

AutoCheck offers a commercial service at www.AutoCheckmembers.com. NOTICE for Consumers: You will not be eligible for, nor covered by, AutoCheck Buyback Protection if you obtained a Report from a dealer who obtained it from the AutoCheck consumer Web site. " I then had to enter my phone number and "swear" that I am using this for myself and not for commercial purposes. What a crock! They are as busting as CF is with their "unlimited" plan. It is like being asked to leave the "all you can eat" buffer because you ate too much :-) . They never once mentioned that "unlimited" equals 25 on the web page when I was signing up and they were taking my money. After I put in my number and swore I was doing personal stuff, it seems to let me go on and run reports. But I assume at some point I may get a call and/or get another complaint online that I run too many reports - or they may just cut me off. So I guess buyer beware no matter which service you use. Remember, nothing is better than a hands on inspection of a used car by someone who knows what they are doing. Just use a check service like these to weed out the bad cars and help decide which one(s) to inspect.

You fill that in and complete the order. At no time did the system force me to read any T&C before they took my money or give any clear indication that "unlimited" is 25 in AutoCheck-speak. Granted, their is a little link for it on the order page, but who reads those things :-) ? You could make a case for bait and switch - if they really wanted the consumer to know what they were buying they would label the main page with "single report" and "25 reports" and not "unlimited reports". Unlimited is "having no limits in range or scope" and saying 25 is "unlimited" is not right. Now, I am still able to run reports until the AutoCheck police decide to "bust" me for going over 25 so I guess it is "unlimited reports, but we hassle you if you do more than 25". Pretty much what you get if you buy from CarFax and more reports than they think you should. I have received my $25 worth even if they cut me off now, but I just wanted to warn others that like CarFax they get unhappy if you run a lot of reports. You just have 30 more days to spread out the reports with AutoCheck.

They're often wrong, and don't describe anything of significant worth about the car. Show me a straight car with original paint and service records, then I'm interested. That you're the third owner? I don't give a hoot. But on the other hand, a lot of people abuse the service... how many posts on the lists and message boards saying "can someone run a carfax for me?" That's theft of service, no matter how you slice it. But then again, it's not like the electrons are complaining when you run a VIN through their database. Another 200K of text characters still makes it a huge money-maker.
