#1. Coolant Temp Sender Location - was car won't heat up - from Dave Arnold
Top
Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2004 21:47:59 -0500 From: "Dave Arnold" <air2daa@insightbb.com> Subject: Coolant Temp Sender Location - was car won't heat up I'm beginning to think that my the problem is related to the temperature sender and not the thermostat at all. I'm trying to locate the sending units, but can't locate them. Can anyone send me a good description (or picture) of where the temperature sending units are located? Also, is there a way to tell if they are working correctly or not. TIA, Dave

Not even. Just push them firmly past the step on the shaft, where they want to hang up a bit, and then they'll slide fine the rest of the way. Neil 96 M3

#8. FS: 17x9 Forgelines with V700s - from Rich Beebe

Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2004 14:51:23 -0500 From: Rich Beebe <rich@beebecomm.com> Subject: FS: 17x9 Forgelines with V700s Forgot to mention yesterday, when I posted my E36s for sale, that either car can be bought with a set of perfect 17x9 Forgelines with Kumho V700s already mounted. A set of 15mm spacers, for the front, will be included. The spacers push the fronts right out to the fenders almost. Great fit. Rims and tires can also be bought separately. Price, for rims and tires alone, is $1750. Pics available. Rich Beebe

#9. RE: Help: Car won't warm up - from Carl Stern

Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2004 13:08:58 -0700 From: Carl Stern <Carl.Stern@xilinx.com> Subject: RE: Help: Car won't warm up Correct me if I'm wrong, which I probably am. Doesn't a thermostat determine the minimum operating temperature, not the maximum? Once it opens it is up to the rest of the cooling system to do the job. So how does going to a cooler thermostat make the car run cooler? Unless the cooling system already was able to keep the temperature right at the warmer thermostat setpoint. If that was the case then the car really wasn't too hot then was it? thanks, Carl Stern 95 M3 30k
