I don't know which part it is specifically on the e46, but it sounds like the bearing on an idler, tensioner, or possibly a driven accessory.
The problem with driving it is if something does seize and the belt breaks at high rpm, it can grenade other stuff like the cooling reservoir, fan, radiator, or even put dimples in the hood.

Oops. Dane beat me to it.

Thanks guys. Yea I understand tht...but I have to get to work tomorrow...guess I will be very cautious and diagnose this when I get home after work.Quote:

Either way look into doing the electrical fan mod
Going to pick up idler pulley and pulley tht goes on hydraulic tensioner...also the mechanical ac tensioner...will replace them this afternoon.
Removed the bolts and checked the numbers. Here is a picture! Based on the BT logo I assume I have it! I also assume that PK: 9950 is my passcode? How do I connect it to my phone then?Quote:

You know that sneezing man button on your steering wheel?Quote:

Enter the PK and you're good to go.
Nothing came up when I tried that...
Quick question....what is the capacity of the ZHP differential?
Don't know exactly but it's a tad over 1.5qts I believe. Fill until it flows back out of the hole (as I'm sure you know).Quote:

Ok. I only got 2 qts left of Liqui-Moly diff fluids left. Enough for my fluid change.
Do you have a button under the armrest?Quote:

I'll keep looking for a difinitive answer.
I really appreciate all of the help! I'll try that tomorrow and report back! Stuck in class all day today!Quote:

I don't know whether all transmissions have filters, but I would assume that some do because transmissions are much more complex (multiple gears, shaft, syncrhos, etc) and also have a greater variety of mechanical movement: both rotational (gears turning) and translational (dogs/collars moving back and forth as different gears are selected). There is, therefore, much greater possibility for metallic particles to be abraded. So filters are added to prevent further damage.
I tried this and it didn't do anything...I'm thoroughly confused now!Quote:

Redline for tranny and diff.
I have a non folded back seats and the cover in the trunk is sagging. I am not sure how it should be attached. There is a hole in the middle of it, but I don't see any spot where a clip can be attached. There are few spots where clips can be attached. I placed them, but the top section is still sagging.
It looks super annoying any time I am opening my trunk. I have a feeling that I am missing top cover, if such thing exists.
My be somebody can take a few pictures of the trunk lining layout for me. Here is my mess

Has Turner Motorsport stopped putting together maintenance kits and cooling system kits? The links to the kits I used show them as no longer available. I shot them an email but haven't heard anything back.
Actually clicked the overhaul kit link yesterday and saw it was no longer available. Appears as though they still have maintenance kits with a build your own feature to customize. Maybe they'll take the same approach with the overhaul kit in the future.Quote:

I figured when it happened that they would probably realign store priorities sooner or later, with ECS selling to the regular crowd and Turner concentrating on racing/Autocross crowd....but then again I don't know anymore than anyone else!Quote:

The last link is a kit that replaces all of the coolant hoses and pipes. Here's just the upper and lower radiator hoses to save some money:

WeissLicht Illustro FLEX LED's for high-beams on a facelifted coupe (I just typed "facelifted couple", fwiw): any tips from owners here? It's a bit daunting and Bimmian's installation guide is a few seconds of a longer promo video.
There really isn't much to it. I installed these in my sedan housing - I can't imagine the coupe housing being much different. Take cap off, take out old bulb, and put new bulb in. Spread out the heatsink ribbon and stuff it inside the housing along with the small resistor box. It's a tight fit, but doable. It's a lot easier if you take your headlight out.Quote:
