What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

Thanks for the advice (and humor!) fellas. Warming up the hot glue gun!

Don't do it, Dane! I know it makes the water blue, but you shouldn't put Miracle-Gro in the radiator. :)

Are you another convert to Brotella T6, DW? Or have you been using it a while?

Well, I converted yesterday ironically. T6 5w40 yesterday after a liqo-moly engine flush... and before I did that I replaced the ofhg that was leaking (profusely) with the dupont Viton
one. Think I need to do the ccv

Weird.

So.... Glad I did the maintenance. Found that #4/5 spark plugs were fouled. Car runs much smoother through the power band now. Old plugs had about 90K on them. Confirmed the VCG was leaking. Oil everywhere.

One casualty today. I snapped the crankcase vent hose coming from the Vanos. I'm sure I'm not the first.

Small amount of build up on the Vanos so I decided to leave it alone.
