The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[ELCID86]

And which components would that be? I know there isn't a visible leak in the steering rack. What else could it be? The entire suspension has been replaced in the 2 years I've had the car.

Steering have a guibo or something that would wear out? Couldn't find any parts for that from TMS or ECS.

I believe so. I thought we had a thread on it. Try here: http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?p=13077875

Does air bag deployment in an E46 activate a kill switch to prevent car from being started?

No. Just some dude.

Justin is me

This guy wrecked his car. He did all the repairs himself (to include replacing the air bags) and now needs to drive the car to body and paint shop. But it won't start.

Did your car start when you got rear ended? I remember my radio was still playing when I had my accident. I don't remember trying to restart it. There's the BST, or Battery Safety Terminal, that explodes in the event of a crash That must be replaced

Told him I was pretty sure air bag deployment activated a kill switch of sorts.

Wow. I would've sent this straight to the scrapper.

Yes...That damage looks much worse than mine. Good on him for fixing it.

Awesome thanks Shawn.

If I'm replacing the reservoir how much fluid should I pick up?

If your trunk is double locked then unlocking all the doors won't unlock the trunk but the trunk key fob button still will open it. This is to prevent a valet or window smashing thief from being able to open your trunk. Use key to turn trunk lock to the left (counter-clockwise) and then the trunk should unlock when all the other doors are unlocked. Unless your trunk latch switch has failed.

Maybe it is my trunk latch switch that is bad then. After pressing it a numerous amount of times, it started working. Maybe it has something to do with the cold weather.

Awesome thanks Shawn.

I replaced the steering couplter/guibo with an AKG unit.

[UdubBadger]

Didn't know they made one! How you like it?

I think 2 bottles of ATF is what I used.

[UdubBadger]

Ohhhh found it Vas. It's Aluminum or Poly 75D and recommended for race vehicles only. (Unless you got a 90A version and they are just out of stock)

Gonna need some feedback before plunging into that as I want to retain some normal drivability on the car.
