have the fault codes read have a proper diagnosis done by an accredited auto transmission professional shop

It's probably the door strike switch. If that switch isn't engaged or is malfunctioning, it will immediately unlock the doors as a fail safe. Check that first I'd say.

could be heating control valve ( not cheap ) or could be air in the system.

Most likely the contacts on the ignition switch are worn out .you will find this at the end of the ignition barrel .

I will have to disagree with you on that!

there is another screw holding the harness in

behind glove box....there is a printed numbered indicator as to where the fuse is

hi, the first thing would be the proper tools. apart from the general hand toold, you require a spring compressor for removing the shock absorber. it would be better if u could see some video of the same before u get ur hands dirty on the job....

Go to u tube and Type in strut replacement on your bmw and watch a couple of videos and you can rent tools at car quest , auto zone , and Advance auto parts if you need ? I hope this helps out

do you mean torque settings?

check for a vacuum in the fuel tank that is preventing the pump from moving fuel through the system. Air should not flow freely through the manifold as there is a regulator in the system that maintains the fuel pressure for the injectors. It should stay shut for a pressure of around 50 psi before it allows the air to flow out

Just did my 95 525i. Most importantly, make sure all of the air is out, then tighten the bleeder. Let it run. If the reservoir is over flowing than it's over full. Keep an eye on the temp. gauge for bout 15 min. If it goes over normal operating temp. you still have air in the radiator and need too bleed more.

i need radio code for my bmw 352i 1992

IT should not be necessary to do this. Loosen off the belt /belts and when you have the one needing replacement place a section of the belt over a fan blade and turn the fan and place the belt over the next blade and son until all the belt is in front of the fan. pull the belt out from In front of the fan. Replace the belt buy by a reverse procedure.

www.all data.com will help you

fans are not running

The first thing you need done is to go to shop that has the equip to scan the electric engine control module for fault codes.

Since diagnosing any engine noise is hard to do on the internet, I suggest you have a shop listen to the noise, they will give you a better idea of what might be causing it and how much it is to repair.

local autozone should be able to help.
