It was driven as a daily driver for 2 years and since I've moved to Wisconsin I've only been driving it for pleasure.

Know its cause? Have a cure? (Someone recently > mentioned belt tension?) The refrigerant in an A/C system really consists of two components: metered amounts of the refrigerant gas itself (now typically R134A) and compatible lubricating oil. Perhaps one or the other of these is wrong. Or if you're really unlucky the compressor is starting to seize from lack of lube. Neil 96 M3

#3. Washers and Gaskets included with the Oil Filter - from Newman, Christopher
Top
Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2003 14:12:36 -0400 From: "Newman, Christopher" <CNewman@LSAC.org> Subject: Washers and Gaskets included with the Oil Filter Good afternoon, When you purchase a new Oil Filter, the package also contains 2 Washers and 2 Gaskets. Is it bad to NOT use the Washers ? Are there any positives/negatives to using them versus NOT using them ? Do you replace both Gaskets every time you change your oil ? Or just sometimes ? Someone once told me that it was better to just leave the tiny Gasket alone because you could cause more damage than it's worth if you accidentally damage the bolt somehow ? What are your thoughts on this ? As always, thanks for your help.

It's very easy to get the gaskets out without damaging the bolt. Not sure what your friend is talking about. The rubber gaskets degrade over time, I'd definately replace them... -josh --- "Newman, Christopher" <CNewman@LSAC.org> wrote: > Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2003 14:12:36 -0400 > From: "Newman, Christopher" <CNewman@LSAC.org> > Subject: Washers and Gaskets included with the Oil > Filter > > > Good afternoon, > When you purchase a new Oil Filter, the package also > contains 2 Washers and > 2 Gaskets. > > Is it bad to NOT use the Washers ?
