    Air susp inactive again

    The compressor was water damaged. My mechanic took it out and put in a refurbished one for a small sum. Now it works perfect again.

    Hidden coolant leak L322 4.4

    Not an option fixing this myself. Talked with my lawyer. Probably this problem has been there since I bought the car. Laws are really strict here about this. And my lawyer is good at his job. But I have to pay out of my own booked and get reimbursed. And the smaller the bill, the less fuzz the...

    Hidden coolant leak L322 4.4

    I would have thought so. I can`t fathom why he gave me this advice. He testet the car in spring. 7 sylinders in the pressure test were green. one were light green to yellow I think. Told me not to worry about it. Now its completly ####ed. Thing is that the car at that point also was under...

    Hidden coolant leak L322 4.4

    had the car in a garage today. The head gasket is gone. he checked this in the spring, but then the problem was to small to get noticed by his equipment as a real problem. now it is. My mechanic did this head-gasket job on another 4.4 L322. And he means its better getting a replacement engine...

    Hidden coolant leak L322 4.4

    Checked. The radiator was changed in 2009. When the car had been driven 120`km. Now its 2014 and been driven 190` Could the rad go bad after 5 years/70`km?

    Air susp inactive again

    Hi, I have had troubles with my air suspension since I bought the car. It sits at normal ride height, but is inactive. I have tried to delete the fault codes (which reads something like to high temp out of compressor/sensor). After deleting the fault codes everything worked...

    Muffled stereo sound L322

    Working again now. I started the car and first it worked for 2 min. Stopped at a gas station. Got back in, started up, worked for 5 min, then back to muffled sound but audio from all speakers. Stopped for an hour. Got back in. Working fine now. Will check wiring this afternoon and check the...

    Muffled stereo sound L322

    My L322 is really not behaving these days. In addition to air susp trouble and no heat I now have a ****ty stereo. Went out to start the car today. On my way to work there came a small crackling sound and the sound became terrible. I only have sound from one speaker (left front) and its really...

    Hidden coolant leak L322 4.4

    I have tried this. But i will try again. But on a normal system, how much coolant should it smell from the engine bay? Does it sound like a faulty radiator? Where can i get infrared dye?

    Hidden coolant leak L322 4.4

    Been way to much to do at work the last two weeks to get anything done, but was gonna get going today. BUt. I drove out to fix something and had a mate with me. He said it smelt of coolant from the front of the car. I then checked. Popped the hood. No smell from the engine it self, but smells of...

    Hidden coolant leak L322 4.4

    Brilliant! I will get this done this weekend. Will an ordinary garden hose do the trick? I will take out the water control valve and clean it. I have taken it out before, but the torx were corroded, so I gave up. So gotta find a way to get them of and find out were I can get new screws...

    L322 BMW V8 with a broken heater - help!

    Did you ever get this sorted?

    Hidden coolant leak L322 4.4

    How do I do the actual flushing of the matrix? I dont think it leaks so would hate to pull the dash apart. I have no apparent coolant in the cabin, no smell of coolant either, and I pressuretestet the system when this started and there was no leak then. I am going out trying to bleed the damn...

    Thank you, but I must ask. Yes to what?

    Hidden coolant leak L322 4.4

    Is there a way to flush open the system, without having to decontruct the whole car? Is heater matrix the same as the heater core? Bit confussed, I`m sorry!

    Hidden coolant leak L322 4.4

    Sounds reasonble! Willing to have a go at it. Where is the heater matrix on the L322? Bit confused, is this the same as the water control valve, or a different thing?

    Hidden coolant leak L322 4.4

    Another quick question. If I put the ignition on II, the fan speed on 2 and the heat on full, should the coolant be circulating allthough the engine is not running? Cause its not. But if I start it, I get a stream of coolant running into the expansion box. For the first couple of minutes its...

    Will do! I know one of the O2 sensors is bad, but can`t imagine that effecting this?

    Hidden coolant leak L322 4.4

    Update. I changed the expansion cap, and the smell of coolant is gone. But still no heat. The car will blow pretty hot until its warm, but around the time the thermostat opens the heat slowly disappears. I checked with the hidden menu system and the temp om the engine is 110C after driving...
