In my experience, a worn timing chain/tensioner has a constant, high-pitched metalic whining sound. Has someone else experienced this differently? If the...
Totally agree with Bill's suggestion to have a mechanic look at the problem. Checking the chain/piston would be pretty useless, except for visual signs of worn...
If I rev it up high myself, there is no rattle. And while driving there is no whining sounds - just a valve that ticks a bit. So all that is left it to have a...

I use BMP Designs strut braces front and rear. Though the front is pre-load adjustable (hinged as you call it) you can make it just like a one piece by...
Thanks Bill, In fact I just installed a set of H&R sport springs; and am using Boge Turbo Gas shocks I installed about 2 years ago. I'm not all that serious...
Hi, Anyone install a clutch master cylinder lately? I did. Now, when I take my foot off the pedal, the spring pulls it back up until it hits the push button...
Hi all, this is my first time posting but I've been lurking for a couple of weeks. Does anyone know how to replace the glove box latch on a 1984 318i? The guy...
