Another E92 325i
This car was recently purchased privately with 135k on the clock and full franchise history.
Customer contacted us to address the the following:
1. Major Service : Air filter , oil Filter, Oil, plugs.
2. Full inspection: he wanted to know everything that needed attention.
3. Idle was lower than normal causing a dip at low revs and a small shudder
So we booked it in for some TLC and got to work
All original parts where supplied
We start out with scanning for stores errors
Then we ran the vanos adaptations and set the idle using the factory software and technical instructions
Now to start with the service:
Old vs new air filter
New plugs
Check the old plugs - 2 NGK and 4 Bosch plugs fitted by agents!!
Used a tiny bit of silicone paste so allow the coils to be refitted easily
Drained oil
Swapped out orings on the OFH
New oil filter fitted
New oil filled
Replaced cabin filter
All done
We also did the full inspection and advised the customer that he would need to address the following :
1. Flush and bleed brakes - brake fluid is old and burnt
2. Flush and bleed power steering - fluid level is low as well fluid is old and burnt.
3. Flush and bleed cooling system - cooling system is full of tap water.
Things like brakes , suspension, prop coupling.ect were all still fine and didn’t need any attention.

Another E92 325i
And then they were back for round 2
This time the fluids needed to be flushed and bled.
Get the car up, wheels off and we start.
Drain the radiator
Mixing Distilled water and Coolant
Filled up with Coolant mix
Power steering was so low, it barley showed on the level indicator
So we removed the old fluid, flushed it twice and bled it . Steering felt so much softer after this
Lastly we flush the brake fluid reservoir 3 times and then fill up with new fluid
Flush the brake lines and bleed
And lastly we bleed the ABS pump using the laptop and bmw factory diagnostics
All done, the car was collected and the owner was very happy.

Did the adaption resolve the " Idle was lower than normal causing a dip at low revs and a small shudder" issue?

Ditto, very enjoyable reads.
Question:
Could you comment on the "tap water" issue? How do you actually notice that there is tap water in the cooling system?
I ask this because I've been motoring for 30 years and have always used tap water to mix my coolant, and provided that the correct ratio was maintained, I've never had any problems with corrosion or premature failure of components.

Re: Another E92 325i
I dipped a paper towel into the coolant reservoir and when i pulled it out i noticed it had no colour to it.. Coolant from bmw has the Blue Dye and Vw's have the pink dye in it... also the bottle cap was almost seized on and when we got it off, you could see all the chlorine stains... I personally dont use tap water in my own cars, its just habbit, as i have seen so many cars with corrosion and discolored water bottles.ectVAG Fan wrote: ↑Thu Sep 19, 2019 12:10 pm Ditto, very enjoyable reads.

The one car i'm busy doing head gasket on now, customer filled water previously... when the gasket blew and the cylinder filled up with water, it corroded the cylinders, water channels.,ect... a simple thing like coolant and distilled water would have stopped this...

Re: Another E92 325i
Ah, OK, if they only added tap water and no coolant additive, then that's entirely a different story. The previous owner of my Fox also did that, and by the time I got the car, it had caused a lot of rust, and although I did a flush, the head gasket failed soon after (because some of the holes were blocked with rust flakes).
It's no criticism, to the contrary, I'm sure you're sticking to best practice. I was only wondering if the coolant really cares whether you dilute it with distilled or tap water. My coolant remains pink and clear for years, even though I dilute it with tap water.

Re: Another E92 325i
So Wayne got in touch with me last week and wanted to come drop of his bosses 325i for some work.
He always sources his parts directly from Delarey and arrived to drop off the car on Saturday morning, along with new front discs , pads , brake sensor , new boot lid struts. the instruction was brakes are squeaky and very annoying please replace it and off he went.
And we start, get it on the lift
Strip the brake discs, pads and bracket.
Cleaned the rust and dust off the hubs.
Also cleaned the pins and lubricated them
Cleaned the contact surfaces of the bracket where the pads sit and slide on.
Cleaned the machine oil off the new discs before installing
Copper anti seize paste on hubs before fitting discs.
