Sounds familiar. My problem turned out to be the moronic coolant temp sensor (the spendy one) that threads into the motor immediately behind the radiator. There is a fault code for it. That's how I ...

The dealer sells the hose for reasonable money. I replaced mine this winter.

OK. I just questioned the accuracy of the motometer and being an engineer wanted to collect the most accurate measurement I could. Not being able to find a suitable tap for my tach I'll use the moto ...

I just replaced the Paralever pivot bearings this winter. Not a difficult job. I recommend reading Paul Glaves article in the October 2007 issue of the BMW MOA Owners News. He provides goo ...

Wheel bearings perhaps?

I experienced the same failure a couple of years back. The problem was isolated to the 4-pin tank connector. There was voltage going to the pump but the return pin-socket connection was intermittent ...

I use to place the dot at the valve stem but I now check the wheel balance prior to mounting the tire in order to locate the heavy side because in my case the valve stem is not the heaviest part of th ...

I got the longest life out of a set of Michelin Macadam 100s (approx 15K miles). I believe their rounded profile was the primary factor in the mileage. On the downside that profile made the steering ...
