I have removed the rubber bellows, shifted a few pipes and removed the PCV valve, and can see the end of the flame trap. Does it lift up towards the bonnet or...
Hi I need some input for my problem. I have a 95 850 2.5l 20 valve. I had to get it towed this afternoon, I first suspected maybe a blocked fuel filter but not...
Sounds very much like an air mass meter failure. I could be wrong and am happy to be corrected, but the symptoms certainly seem to match. Best of luck. ...
Jamie Waterhouse automotive at penrith is good if you can get to him, he is familiar with 850's My car (a turbo) had these symptoms when the turbo outlet pipe...
I won't reply individually but thanks Stephen and Andrew. Â Is the air mass the same as the MAP? I was just reading and thought that I should probably look in...

Another update if you are interested : ) Â Took it for a road test. Drives ok, got it up to 70. If you push harder from stop it splutters but if you just...
You cant use an oil filled coil with these. the spark will be too weak. Which is probably why you cant get over 70........ Try to exchange your air mass meter...
I only used the oil filled coil for a minute or two then I swapped the original one back in. I just wanted to see if my coil might have been throwing a weak...
Just bought some new air filters for the 144. it needs them. My car had CV's and I converted it to su's filter housing is unchanged. These filters almost fit...
I had SUs on mine using the stock airbox. The metal plate with the 3 bolts got turned upside down. The metal pipes with the rubber hoses going to the funny...
Thanks guys for all your input. Its alive again. It was just a faulty coil. The emissions light is still on now. Apparently it won't go out now until I get it...

Thanks - K&N are OK just make sure you wwash them at each 5000km service and do not overoil them. dlh. -- David Hallam zzdhalla@... Motobecane, BMW,...
Do NOT use K&N if the car will be used in a dusty environment. They are fine for filtering out house bricks, small children, and not much else... Even on a...

Oil on the intercooler piping sounds like you have a lot of blow-by. I had the same issue which I traced to a faulty PCV valve (it was staying open when air...
Glad to hear K&N works in that role. The PCV oil separator box is probably not working correctly on this car. I have a lot of oil weeping out of the rubber...
