The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

I think my climate control is starting to die. It won’t be hot out but I’ll crank the AC(w the snowflake button clicked) all the way up and I won’t feel anything come out of the vent. It works maybe every other day. The heat is what worries me now too going into winter, I just don’t feel the fan at all

Is the fan blowing? If so, did you open the vents all the way with the slider on the side?
If the fan isn't blowing, that's probably an issue with your blower motor.

Could be the final stage resistor (FSR) or wiring to it. If you turn up the fan speed and see the numbers of bars on the display increase but no increase in fan speed consider it. Many many DIYs available re: its replacement on here, E46Fanatics & YouTube.

Definitely not buying new control arms. I just bought new Lemforder ones 3 months ago. I’m definitely willing to entertain Z4M bushings.

This dude sells them pre-pressed yo

When is everyone planning on switching to winter tires?

I'm seeing some lows in the 30s this week with a 32 on Saturday. However the next week the lows move into the 40s. It's getting a bit close, but I think I'll plan for the week after and see how the forecast goes.

November 1st for me, no matter what.

Probably sometime in December for me. I usually wait until the last possible day because I can’t stand how mushy the snow tires feel.

Alright guys so my brother wanted to pull my spark plugs last night to check on them. Apparently they’re fuel fouled, not the biggest deal buts it’s an issue.
But that’s not the problem. The problem is that he obviously didn’t put everything back together properly, so this morning 10mins into driving I went to start her up to go to school from the parking lot and I start feeling misfire wobble. I legged it to school on 5 cylinders(which felt dreadful) and now I’ve got my car stuck here until my brother gets out of school.
Anyone ever experienced a misfire before?

Oh yeah. My last ZHP ran on 5 cylinders quite a bit. It would run lean and burn up coil packs all the time. My guess would be a loose coil pack. Pull the engine cover and push/wiggle them to see if that fixes it.

Usually I wait on the weather. No snow in sight! ❄️
