    Hey guys I'm having some major issues with the barrel lock/central locking on my E36. The barrel lock on the driver side is completely jammed, and the passenger side one will only turn to lock the car; which obviously I don't want to do as I won't be able to open it again. My mechanic has...

    Hi. I have an oil issue on a gasoline engine 4 cylinder(n46b18) in my facelift e46 (2002). The oil is escaping around the oil fill cap. Thing is, from where the oil is seen left to the oil cap, the oil slowly drips somehow on my exhaust from the cylinder closest to the cabin(underneath the cabin...

    As far as I can tell, the leak is coming from the 2 hoses: the fluid is leaking just above where it's clamped i.e. from where the hoses go into the PAS resevoir housing. The fluid then just drips down the pipe - it's not gushing out but over a few days it covers the hose. I don't see any cracks...

    I had to remove the sump because it was leaking and the new MOT rules are that they only allow a certain amount of oil leak. I did replace the seal/gasket on the oil filter housing which was also leaking. No parts diagram showed there were an additional 3, Torx bolts (~60mm long) that were...

    The dipstick tube coming from the sump splits into two: one side is the long tube where you insert the dipstick and the other side is very short and has a hose connected to it that goes to the oil separator (see pic). There is a small O-ring that goes onto the short end before it goes into the...

    It seems to be a support bar, just behind the sump, running across the car, with two huge bolts holding it in place, one on each side. I can't find it any diagram unless I'm looking in the wrong place. I need to know the part number of the 2 bolts that hold it in place. Thanks
