guibo

Hello, Well after selling my E46 (330D) for an X5 (to tow) I realised how much I missed the former, so I've got my hands on another one, this time an 1999 E46 318. Over the weekend I've had a couple of coolant issues, which I'm struggling to cure. The first was the adapter that sits at the...

Hello all, I replaced my rear guibo flex disc on my e90 320d using a Meyle product, put together as it was, all bolts lined up, used thread locker when reassembling, the flex disc is installed in the right direction but it looks warped as the one on the photo. The propshaft seems to be about a...

I have a 2004 e65 730D. After seeing a few threads online (and noticing a bit of jerking movement when the car gets to a stop) I decided to change it. Everything went smoothly (have a friend with a garage so used the ramp and tools). I nearly had a massive OH NO moment though After we put...

Dear readers, I'm having a problem with the main thermostat (temp indicator stays low), and I need to replace it. This engine has no EGR thermostat for some reason. Another problem is the vibrations I am feeling coming from the back of the car, it simply shakes badly when shifting gears, 1st to...

Previously posted on e46fanactics, but i figured i'd put it here too. Some ideas were a busted clutch or a torn up guibo. I've no idea what a guibo is, however. I googled it but i don't fully understand. Hi all, I find myself in a state of ****ed again. A few nights ago, I went to launch my...

Hi all, just wondering if anyone can help. I have bought a new guibo/flex disc as the car is now on a 155k miles and when I got under the car to have a look at the rear of the prop shaft there is literally no flex disc there. The prop shaft seems bolted straight to the diff. Just wondering if...

I've got a 2000 E46 330ci - Auto for quite a while I've had a but of a thud when shifting it into reverse, a sort of serenity for a moment, then a good old thud - it wasn't enough to worry me and I put it down to a warn differential bush. More recently I've noticed that under acceleration in...

I changed my clutch and flywheel last friday and noticed my guibo flex disk was quite soft i could bent it with my hands abit, but there as no cracks ect. Does this mean i should replace it or not? As im getting a judder sometimes pulling off up a hill??

is there any videos out there for this job , loads of videos showing worn components just no actual DIYs , got a slight vibration when driving , also a slight clunk , nothing bad but want to get this done before it does and the weathers half decent , any tips would be brilliant , thank you

Hi, 130k on clock and getting vibrations between 20 and 60mph when not on power, also a bit "un smooth" when on full power - sometimes. From all research looks like would be sensible to do the guibo / flex disk and centre propshaft bearing. BMW bits a tad pricy especially for the guibo. Any...

As title. I've read it does, but RealOEM says they have a different LK. The M3 one is 96mm but the manual 330cd is 110mm. It says LK=bolt hole. Here's where my confusion starts: Does it mean the space between the holes on the guibo, or does it actually mean the length/depth of the bolt holes...

Hi all, My car has developed a issue where there is this clicking noise coming from the rear of the car when slowing down to a red light. I have tested this and found that it makes this clicking sound whenever I take the load of the rear wheels, as in leave the gas pedal and putting the clutch...

Hi I Have A 325i Convertible E36 And A Couple Of Weeks Ago I Pulled Off From A Stationary Position Out Of A Side Road And Heard A Loud Bang Followed By No Power What So Ever, Leaving Me Stranded Across Both Lanes. Luckily I Waited For A Big Gap My Car Would Have Been Written Off. Anyway I...

Well, whatever you want to call it. I suspect mine is the cause of my current problem, but I'd appreciate it if you could take a look at this photo to see what you think. Unfortunately I couldn't get a better shot as I could not find my trolley jack. Symptoms are rapid thumping / knocking...

And oh dear.....can you see what the problem was....:jaw-dropping (its bent btw) :eek:jaw-dropping Steering rack had 1/2" (12mm) of movement in it!!! Wonder why it was tramlining then :thumbsup:hihi

Hi guys, noticed this recently, i get a light vibration in 1st and in 2nd if i acclerate hard the vibration is pretty bad, the other gears i ok though, and if i take it easy its not that noticeable heard a word flying around that it may be down to my guibo? not sure what that is? but the...
