    Yes... lemon clips or spring hose clips are much better than jubilee/worm clips. They don’t fail and they exert an even sealing pressure all around, also the can expand and contract when hot and cold with out damaging the hose or stretching and then leaking... much better for slip on fuel, coolant and oil hoses... also for the manufacturer they are cheaper than jubilee hose clips.

      This comment! Oetiker/cobra clamps are the way to go. Try to avoid worm clamps whenever possible. Uneven sealing pressure => leaks => overtightening => damage. If you use them and they inevitably leak you can try using two of them and orienting the screws/worms opposite each other.

    You may need to get INPA and run the ABS bleed sequence to resolve it, there's possibly air in the ABS module, which the only way to bleed it if it's got air in.
    It's not the case of you incorrectly bleeding it, it's a case the DSC / ABS Module needing a proper bleed.

  • @BobbyTruffle
    @BobbyTruffle 3 роки тому +1

    Of course it's the period correctness but there is another factor that makes you feel that these wheels are fitting this car like a glove. It is your brain that makes you feel like this and that happens because this car is "stored" in your mind exactly as you saw it when it was firstly presented 22 years ago. It was this colour, those wheels and generally this look that made you say wow when you saw it. For the same reason we like so much an E30 M3 with the factory BBS wheels, every time we see it. There may be tons of gorgeous wheels to fit those vehicles but you'll always feel great when seeing them in their factory outfit...That doesn't happen always and with all the cars. It just happens with the cars that were awesome looking from the factory...great work as always guys.

    The crimping clamps apply force completely unlike a screw clamp. We have had to replace The reservoirs on 39s and e46s with lines that just never stop leaking and showed back up after a few months. The filter in the bottom gets plugged. Definitely recommend power steering flushes on this vantage of BMWs

    To be honest, we had a X5 e53 once (fire started under hood), we removed everything from underneath with brakes, suspension and everything and we had a very hard time bleeding it. We ended up using the DIS with the actuators procedure to get rid of the air.

    I've bled slightly older BMW ABS systems using a pressure bleeder, and it worked fine. But now I just use a one-man bleeder bottle and pump the pedal. It's simpler and it works just as well. Your Dinan short-shifter rattle might only show itself in the e39 M5, due the engine's flat-plane crank, which causes funky vibrations.

    • @adad2757

    For those clamps you asked about, they are just another form of clamp. They provide a better clamp force on the whole surface area of the hose, so technically, a little better. They are used more for the reason that you won't necessarily replace thise type of clamps, rather buy a new part...... I think, LoLz. We use those in plumbing on PEX piping.

    The rattle from the shifter could be residual vibration from from the driveshaft. My last shiftter sat low enough that when I accelerate the flex disc slightly makes contact. I got fed up with all the BS and went with Autosolutions. Simply the best. The oem you install will feel notchy/rubbery and eventually fall apart.

    If the rattle in the shifter is still there after more miles are clocked up its probably the shifter knob. Sometime when it is removed something breaks inside that rattles. Had that with my E46 M3. As for the halo light personally I love the oem yellow lights and to be honest I don't see the point in updating the lights to look more modern when the car itself isn't modern. I think the high kelvin output lights on older cars doesn't look right. 3000 looks good to me but I'm old and like the old school. Love the wheels. Both sets!
