please help me im goin insane
hi therei realsie this is a huge first post but its really anoying me and i wanted to provide as much info as possible so you know what your advisin on
i own a 1989 525i sport which is fitted with an12v m20 engine and i have a few problems with it and i hope that you guys can help me sort them out
1. my headlights work every now and again so i changed my headlight switch this cured the problem for a month or so now they do it again but when they cut out if i fiddle with the indicator/full beam stalk they come back on and stay on turn the ignition off and off they go again!!
2. under my speedo i have the service indicator and mileometer the readout and lights rarley work unless i hit the glass with my finger tip (along with the speedo light itself)
3. the check panel constantly tells me i have a dip beam down a low coolant level, low oil pressure (scared me the first time) and the oil level is shown if the level strays 1mm from the full line
4.the fuel gauge is very weird the light comes on with quater of a tank left and stays on never sure weather to belive the gauge or the light!!
5.the radio reception is really poor to the point that i dont even use it however i would like too
6. shes fitted with a remote alarm with full closure has a bmw badge on the remote although the siren has foxgaurd written on it seems to work when it wants too lockin then unlockin straight away with a single press????
7. REALLY ANOYING it has the roughest idle you can imagine it feels like a violent missfire it runs sweet just idles like a pig i have had the injectors cleaned and have fitted some new bosch plugs and new leads
i have also been told that i can unplug my analoge clock and simply plug in a fuel computer from a higher spec model and this will work (i dont believe it but have removed the clock and theres an awfully big wiring harness compared to my old ford
the same with the sunroof motor as mine is a manaul and was told if i had the motor and switch and cover then this would be fine as the wiring is allready there
can anybody confirm or deny this and help me sort my problem i realsie this is a huge first post but its really anoying me and i wanted to provide as much info as possible
thanks in advance
chris
