Re: Replacing the Fan Belt..

Hello Genie, how are you fella?

RAC man is right, it can be done from above, I opted for below to replace PS fluid, belts and avoid leaning on panels.

Re: Replacing the Fan Belt..

Don't forget both undertrays need removing.....which means wheels off. If you have access to a ramp use it, much easier, or try and get all 4 wheels off the ground. I followed a similar E30 guide recently to change PS fluid and all auxiliary belts, but some steps are different its not 100% identical...

If it occurs during light rain and wipers dont cure it, check the motor and wiper mechanism from under the scuttle, they may need cleaning and lubricating the parts.

Re: It was only a question of time until ....

I agree with Stoertie, a replacement is inkeeping with your car and providing your ultra careful when fitting, there is little to no pressure on the flap when vertical so should last another 20years.

Re: Z1 Side Repeaters

I didn't think the Z1 was ever issued with side indicators by TUEV in 1980s Germany, most UK owners use the E30 as a guide when positioning. Mr Kossyk?

Using the front lights as your source is much easier given the shorter distance, easy access and its just 2 wires.
