Coolant sensor removal

How do you remove this sensor. I tried strong arming it and twisting and that hasn’t worked at all. Any other methods?

O2 sensor testing?

Is there anyway to test my o2 sensor to make sure it’s working? I have had a rough idle issue for the past couple months and I’ve solved every issue besides my o2 sensor. It would be the last potential solution(besides a compression test) but I would like to check before I buy another o2 sensor.

Coolant level lcd won’t go away

I have no overheating issues but the coolant level lcd will not go away. I have bled the system a thousand times. My guess is the radiator due to it being 16 years old and mysterious loss of coolant. Any ideas? Also what else should I get if I’m replacing the radiator.

Good Daily Tire Brands

Just looking for some good brands for my daily 525i. It’s not a performance build and no plans for a track. Also stay in Texas which is mostly hot year round. Rains a ton so any tires with good rain traction would be nice.

Part Number?

Does anyone know what part this is? It connects the manifold to the brake check valve. I need specifically the bushing or rubber that goes on the manifold.

First time stomp test

Just checking to see if I’m right it’s 1222 code and it repeats twice right? It’s my first time and I’m just making sure I’ll delete after confirming.

Car lockout part2

Ok so I tried all the basics of unlocking the door from the outside and realized I fucked myself by shutting the door while the battery is disconnected. Triple A also attempted to open the door and failed. They recommended to call a locksmith

A) Call a locksmith and have them struggle opening the door

B) Smash the window and learn how to replace it

Smoke test

Doing a smoke test and saw a ton of smoke coming out of the engine air filter box. Can this cause a rough idle? Also I put the smoke in the in front of the of the box and opened the throttle. It’s my first time doing a smoke test what are the main entry points I should be starting from to get an accurate reading.

Ac compressor has 0 psi

Tried recharging my ac and the gauge didn’t move at all. I followed all the steps and my compressor pulley was working. Is it an internal issue or a mistake on my end? Also can I rebuild the compressor or do I have to get a new one?

Is my AC converted to r134?

I was looking to do a recharge for my ac and cannot tell if it’s the original R-12 or it’s been converted to R134. It’s a 92 so that’s why I’m asking? Thank you advance:)

Air leak?

Is this a normal idle for the line to sit or an obvious air leak?

Weird brake sound

Rebuilt a caliper and noticed this strange sound yesterday while test driving my car after some fixes. It sounds like a bird or excessive squeaking in intervals. Any ideas? I’ve never heard this sound before and can’t figure out what it is.

Rough Idle Problems

I’ve been searching for the solution for my rough idle ever since purchasing the car. I’ve been tracking it down but I’m not sure what else I could be missing. The rough idle was a lot worse when purchased and all of my fixes have greatly reduced it. It still rough idles nonetheless. Here is my fixes towards the rough idle….

  1. Changed the spark plugs/ ignition coils were brand new when the car was purchased
  2. Oil changed and filter/ fixed oil leak
  3. Fixed potential air leak to ICV valve. ICV still works.
  4. Changed blown engine mounts
  5. Coolant level is good/ coolant level lcd is there but I’m assuming it’s the sensor due to no overheating and no air in system.
  6. Rebuilt my fuel injectors with race German kit

Any suggestions as to what I could be missing???

Spark plug check up

Posting my spark plugs for some opinions. Also the second cylinder is questionable asf. Any diagnosis? Also not sure if the previous owner over tightened them but they were extremely difficult to pull out. I couldn’t get the 3rd cylinder because it wouldn’t loosen and I didn’t want to the strip anything.
