Do you need an extension for your ratchet including a flexible joint to get to those torx bolts?

@fredsshed266 6 күн бұрын

I'm pretty sure I used a long torx spanner..

BMW apparently made production line changes to the worm gear machinings from July 5th 2006, cars built after this date seem to have a much lower failure rate.

Nice work, I also put Kangaroo manifold. Did you install electric water pump? What type of turbo did you use, any problems with weight of the turboa, and turbo lag while driving. Keep up the good work!

@fredsshed266 23 күн бұрын

Hi, mate. Still original pump, turbo is gt3584rs and full boost is at 2750. No probs with weight

Hi! When on full hard, does it become impossible to pull out by hand? Mine two does that strange thing, so leaved half from full hard.

@fredsshed266 4 ай бұрын

They're stiff when in your hand (oo-er) but certainly liveable on the road. (I'm in the Fens, which has the worst roads).

@KarolisSiauliai 4 ай бұрын

The strange things is that behaviour at full hard is there and a little bit of turn from that becomes normal and working again in hands, even with big dampening force. I thinked of this as an anomaly because is seems totally blocked on full H, and operating again even at a slight turn from from full H.

Hey, I'm turboing my 635, was wondering what size of the intercooler and maybe the brand you're using. Thanks!

@fredsshed266 4 ай бұрын

Hi, mate. It was an ebay generic 3" inlet and outlet. I believe it is what is restricting the power I am making at the moment (430bhp/460lbft). If I could give advice it would be to buy a quality brand with well-designed innards as the dimensions are not the whole story.

@fredsshed266 4 ай бұрын

I ended up turning the collar back to its original position and then rotated it the opposite way (around 10mm) and the steering is very free now. It seems every case is slightly different but some amount of adjustment in either direction usually results in improvement.

The real problem is a bearing inside the column, that wears extensively over time due to a design flaw. I had my bearing in my hands, and the little balls were square instead of round, causing it to feel sticky. Additionally, the grease used by BMW does indeed leak out because it cannot stand temperatures above 65C. This makes it worse, but is NOT the cause of the sticky steering. With referecnce to the BMW repair manual, this has been online for a couple of months, was retracted and rejected firmly by ZF, the manufacturer of the column. There is a specialist garage in Germany fixing this bearing, with customers from all over Europe. Had mine done and it drives like new. The fixed suggested in this video may appear to help, but it only enhances the motor effect, making your car dance all ovr the road.

Unladen, you ought to be getting low twenties mpg once warm and with that lousy automatic choke off. Regrettably, your Tranny is missing one major item which is a Yorkshire Terrier that becomes unhinged whenever anyone comes near the cab. Cheapest way to solve that is to get a Pritt Stick and squiggle it all over the inside of the passenger window and rear glass and stick a tartan blanket on the seat. Also, the top of the dashboard is missing two years of sun bleached delivery notes and empty Rothmans packets. Lovely piece of kit apart from that👍
