Re: E36 Issues
hey sorry to hijack the tread, since we're on e36 issues..my 316's been givin me probs lately..
i tink bmw has this function on manual cars that has this really cool clutch in mechanism that kicks in n helps hold the 'half clutch' rite.
recently mine has gone cranky and starts comin in too soon and like when i'm in reverse gear, cos u press the brake as well, the clutch in function kicks in.... then even when i fully depress the clutch i cant disengage the gear and more often than not the engine will stall cos of this...
it's really irritating and i'm sure too much of this will lead to heck alot of worn and spoilt components.....
anyone's had any probs with this??

Re: E36 Issues
Heya bro,
Let me know your feedback on the RP oil. Was thinking of trying some other fuels other than Mobil 1.
If you got unstable idling, maybe you might want to check your air-intake hoses, if there's cracks or leaks, it may lead to unstable idling. Also, it could the air-flow sensor that causes it. Does your unstable idling come during hot days and disappear during cool and does it sort of settle when you turn on the air-con?
With regards to chop shops, I was thinking of exploring some places in JB, usually in Taman Mount Austin to see see look look. There's heaps there. I think they'd definitely have more stuff than propel. Propel's got a Malaysian 'branch' too.

Re: E36 Issues
yo bro,
honestly RP's been great.. i've used their 15w40 for the last 15k..with no probs. in fact really smooth engine...recently changed to 10w40..noticed that engines a little rough..dunno if its the oil...perplexed, cos i also changed out the tranny oil at the same time to Max gear 75w90 ...
my guess is enine oil. when i'm in neutral, the roughness is still present, to...am guessing engine oil... stand corrected though...what do u tink??
bloody unstable idling... i cleaned out the icv AND the afm internals..and they're damned near spotless. but i did notice that the hose from icv to manifold was wet with oil!.. damned... i wonder if my gasket is leaking!!...
chop-shopping in JB must chio ok??.. hahhah.... dun mind going to look see look see also.. find one good day lah..
