Holy crap a 150 ton couldn't get them out? If 3 weeks of kroil doesn't get them out my life is a lie, that stuff is amazing. I'd check the bimmerforums classifieds if you do end up wrecking them, someone is always parting out an e36 m3 that you could pick up axles from.

I had an E34 wagon in Germany that someone had put after market springs into the front of. When I bought the car, BOTH front springs were snapped and the front end sagged badly. If you have aftermarket springs in the car, I'd check there first. Seems like some of the aftermarket bits aren't nearly the quality they should be.

Lots of pumps available for this type of system, ranging from 75$ to 200ish for a good one. Scavenge pumps.

ZGR5A is typical over the counter stuffs, no prescription needed.

I used the IX booster and MC. Works fine

Jezz, thats a hell of a documentation. He sure saved himself a lot of typing.

good plan.  after you watch it for a while and get no new pieces, you'll be happy you found nothing.  they also make magnetic gizmos you can clamp to your oil filter housing to capture metal shavings if you are inclined.

You're probably right. Was doing some reading on E30tech and hearing about all of the bad luck everybody has had with VR gaskets. Sounds like the goetze and FelPro might be worth a risk, but it also sounded like the BMW gasket, although more expensive, was far better quality.

Did a full fluid flush with no change at all=/ Was about to swap out my master with the one from the compact but that has a 12mm front port and an 11mm rear port instead of two 11mm ports. I should be able to use an adapter to install it to do some troubleshooting as I see nothing else being the culprit=/

Funny that you should mention that. I do happen to have two 5 gallon race jugs and a siphon pump. Thanks for the suggestion.

I would vote removable simply because I hate thieves.

Metro Auto Parts has Centric calipers in stock for around $100 a side.  If you have a friend with a shop that you can order them from, they will be cheaper. They are located off Hwy 100 near Bluemound and the number is 414-259-4100.

Update: well i should have listened when they said doubke check all fuses. Turnes out the fuse i replaced (28) was bad and i didnt notice it?  When i originaly replaced fuse 28(was blown) it didnt work at all still. Replaced with a 10a(calls for a 30a but thats all i had on hand) started up and worked great. Not to my surprise that fuse blew right away i will be buying a new 30a and enjoying my heat another day

Does anyone know once the module (part # 37146773999) is replaced, does it need to be activated, initialized or 'coded to the VIN' by the dealer? Or is it just plug and play? Thanks!

Yeah, just download a tune from someone on the internet who has similar parts on their car.

lol you must be super bored. .20 overbored?

Awesome. Im going to start with freezing it. That works well with normal sound deadening material. If not, touching and scraping it will have to be. I was hoping there was just a chemical that would dissolve it. I will report back once I figure out what works best.
