The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[BMWCurves]

For those of you whose stock exhaust had one

Hahaha what happened to yours?

Also, did you get your exhaust on?

[san]

For those of you that have a TSE3, did you put that mounting bracket that was on the stock exhaust and connects the exhaust to the transmission, back on the TSE3? It's not in the Corsa directions, but it seems like it could fit on there fine and give it more stability.

If I remember correctly rob and I removed the exhausts on both cars including the brace and installed them with out swapping as they are the same...

This is all that was there when I bought it haha.

Peter thought the missing pieces might've been the source of a rattle, but I actually think it's coming from the bottom of the down pipe. Those connections are completely shot, so they'll get replaced with the new noise maker.

And no, not yet; it'll probably be late August or September before I get around to it. I'm job hunting right now. I have to escape telecom before the grey hairs take over.

Yes. I still have both of my brackets.

Huh. I went back under there and could not get that bracket to mount properly to the TSE3. Doesn't seem to be affecting anything though. Appreciate it.

Oof. You're the living reason why I don't plan on buying a car that's seen winters in places that salt their roads.

What job are you looking to move to?

When changing the manual transmission fluid, is it a good idea to use maybe half a quart or so to just flush the transmission? Did not do it the last time and I was thinking if I should do it now as I am planning to replace the fluid as it's been about 50k miles. Planning to go with red line MTL btw...

Airbag light + no horn + no steering wheel buttons means bad clock spring, right?

That would be my first guess.

Popped the little access door open and the clock spring ribbon was severed in 2 places.

Dayum! That's quite rare. I might have a spare clockspring lying around.
