Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Einzett ("1Z") is sold here in the States and appears to be silicone free based upon my rudimentary Deutsch translation. Other brands available in Deutschland that are silicone free appear to be "Sonax" and "Nigrin" Hans Gessert & Sohn sells "Hanseline" (images of Hansel and Gretel come to mind . . . ) that they tout as being "with silicone" suggesting that some consider that to be an attribute.

The one I got cheap on EBay turned out to be bad, having a missing filament just like the old bad one. It arrived minus a screen and retaining screws. The seller is making good, but lesson relearned about buying from reputable sources, as the car is still not running right and the dyno with awaits as soon as I get a good sensor on again. tia, Barry ----------------------------- Date: Sat, 5 Jan 2008 21:39:16 -0800 From: "Polands" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: 07 335 wper control? Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> As part of a school auction package I've scored the use this weekend of an '07 335xi, (dealer demo/loaner) which is an amazing piece of engineering. The turn indicators I have almost figured out, but for the life of me I can't get the wipers to stay on intermittent. I'm not sure what was wrong with dedicated detents for each setting, but I'm sure if I was younger it would make sense. No matter how gently I move the lever up, it will do one intermittent and then run constantly after the second pause. The potentiomer is set right down at the bottom. (They are saving the owner's manual for the eventual buyer, and I can't find an on-line manual). Any hints?

Can I mix something like Redline D4 ATF with the factory stuff, or do I need to see BMW for what they use? And how much can I expect to get out (drain plug only)? I haven't serviced an auto tranny in close to 30 years... but IIRC, the GM boxes I was once familiar with included a filter that could be replaced by dropping the pan. Same here?
