Yeah...
Initially, i though about getting the hellas but they are quite a lot more expensive that the ebay one....
(i know i know... i get what i paid for)
But the ebay ones are just very tempting.. haha

Anyone try using these?

At first, i thought about getting the ellisope (spl?)...
but then, i have a set of H4 HID sitting at home...
so, i kinda want to use them on the 318 (originally came with seal beams)

Engine + Driveline / 4.1 LSD noise

« on: March 07, 2009, 12:28:29 PM »

so... was your diff/LSD damaged?

Before i install the diff, i drained the old oil that was in the diff...
it looks alright... just dark in color (don't see any solid coming out)

but Thanks for the tip!
i'll remove the back plate and see if anything is wrong later next week...

Engine + Driveline / 4.1 LSD noise

« on: March 07, 2009, 03:50:52 AM »

Hi everyone
Nice to meet you all (newbie here)

I just had a used 4.10 LSD install in my 91 318i...
when ever i let off the gas pedal, i will hear a whine noise...
(doesn't happen if i am accelerating)
and only happens when it's in gear (during engine braking)

what could cause that noise?
bearing? (input or output shaft bearing?)
if so, is it hard to replace bearing?

Thanks

sorry to bring the old thread back (i am newbie)

how did you clear the intake manifold?
did you have to bent or hammer it?

also... engine vibration won't hit the bar?

thanks
