What is the jumper leads at the back passenger's side? I have corrected my original post above with clearer descriptions of the car's engine running.
I measured my car's voltages with a multimeter.
1) Battery voltage w/ car ignition off: 12.55v
2) Battery voltage w/ car engine running: 12.45v
3) Battery voltage w/ car engine running and...
Actually, my issue seems to be the alternator itself!
Among these three Castrol Euro viscosities, which would you run in your ZHP or other BMW? From these Castrol oils, only the 5w-30 and 5w-40 have the BMW Longlife rating.
I will have to do that! Just curious, is 95k miles not premature for replacing the fuel filter and fuel pump as preventative maintenance even if they are not out of order?
It is usual for the fuel pump to work intermittently before failing outright? My car stalled out and left me stranded on the road but now starts up and runs fine. I do not want to be stranded on...
- 2004 ZHP manual transmission w/ 95k miles
- Installed new battery one year ago and replaced alternator about five years ago
A few days ago, as I was slowing down to a traffic light, I noticed...
Mine is a 2004 ZHP manual transmission w/ 95k miles
I recently noticed a higher-pitched humming (whirring) noise from the engine bay, especially at start-up. My searches came up with a possible...
Do you have the passenger side mirror assembly?
Still looking for a ZHP passenger side mirror assembly
Shawn was generous enough to send me a photo for the ZHP mirrors showing the correct plugs.
What is the red plug in addition to the white? I've only seen mirrors with the single white plug.

A while back I bought a mirror with the wrong (old) pin connector. I found out the hard way that this does not work with my 2004 ZHP sedan.

Looking for the passenger side mirror assembly (don't need the color caps) for a 2004 ZHP SEDAN.
Please let me know if you have one!
I was thinking of doing that and using Stop Leak. But I feel the leak must be rather large because the freon was gone in less than a day.
I think you're correct about the evaporator having sprung a massive leak. No more refrigerant left, just after a day.
How much did your dad's evap replacement cost, parts and labor?
Have you...
The previous owner had this on the shift knob.
Has anyone seen a 6-speed version such that I could just replace the cap of the shift knob?
I got a refrigerant recharge because the AC was not working -- blowing warm air and the compressor was not even engaging because I was almost all out of R134a.
I took it to a mechanic and the...
Hey guys,
I have an '04 ZHP sedan manual with about 90k on the clock now. Especially when going over bumpy surfaces, I've really noticed annoying squeaking coming from the driver's side dash or...
2004 ZHP sedan w/ 90k miles. AC blows ice cold but makes a slight hissing sound when ON. Any ideas as to what could be wrong?
I know many put the Michelin PS2 as tops in performance, but what would be the best COMFORT (supple ride and quiet) tires for the ZHP?
My driver's seat belt has an annoying curl and the tensioner's belt buckle latch is sun-worn-faded. I am thinking about getting them replaced, probably driver's side only.
How difficult is this...
Hey Guys:
Is DSC (dynamic standard control) standard equipment on all 2004 ZHPs?
Any place local in the Los Angeles area who can provide the retrofit? Looking to just take my car there if possible for the shop to carry out the retrofit for the burnt bowls.
