    Dave, Will 1975 911 brake parts Caliper and rotors work on a 1973 or 1976 914. I do not want to buy the parts and they do not work. I have enough 914 parts and do not need to start a collection of 911s.

    Thanks Ken Crooks ken.crooks@att.net

    I'm afraid I have almost no idea at all about most BMWs. All I can suggest is to find yourself a Bentley manual and start looking for the temp sensor location. The -40 sounds like it might also be a disconnected (or maybe shorted?) wire, so check for that as well.

    Most of the time replacing windshield seals means removing the windshield and putting it back in with the new seal. (Or a new windshield with a new seal.) I have only had limited success with window stuff, so I usually let the pros handle that.

    Dave, I have a 2000 528i bmw and the auto climate control reads the outside temp as -40, where do I find the sensor and is it hard to replace. and the weather seal on the frontwindsheild is crumbling all to pieces and would like to replace also. thanks

    Hi Dave -
    I'm having trouble with my 1994 5 Series - it looks like there is a leak between the radiator and expansion pack. Does that make sense? any reccomendations on how to fix?
    Thanks...I love this site!

    {quote}the guide bolts are suppose to be torqued to 22ft lbs or 30 nm and spark plugs are suppose to be trqued to 25 Nm (18.4 ft-lbs). Which torque wrench should be good for the majority of car work or shuld i get both{quote}

    A decent 3/8" wrench should do you for most automotive work. Sears has one that goes from 5-80 lb-ft, which should fit most of what you need. I used to use a Craftsman 10-100 lb-ft wrench, before upgrading to Snap-On. For anything under ~15 lb-ft or so, I have a lower-range wrench, because I am not wild about using them right at the end of their range.

    I had a really cheapie Chinese 20-250 years ago, and it held its accuracy very well over time, when tested against my beam-type torque wrench. The ratchet died after a few years, though, so that was when I bought the Sears stuff.



    {quote}do you know which of the moderators other than jeron would be able to help wit this? Im guessing you mostly wrk on porsches{quote}

    I work on my 914, my CRX, and Da Boss' 911. (And every once in a while, her Benz.) Jeron and Jared both know BMWs reasonably well, tough I'm not sure how often Jared is on. You can try poking through the BMW forums and looking at who seems to know their stuff...
