Had an interesting cold start with electrical smoke getting pumped in to the HVAC, turns out my alternator was spitting flames under the hood. Learned a little about how to get the alternator out, shop manual was a bit vague.

BMW Z3 Rear Differential Gear Ratio Change and Rebuild
มุมมอง 3K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In this sweat session I tackle the final step of my manual swap, the rear differential gear ratio change. The 2.8 Z3 auto came with a 4.10 gear set while the manual cars came with a 3.15 ratio. It drove fine with the 4.10 but 1st gear was generally useless and highway cruising had the engine operating in the 3k rpm range for 60mph which can affect fuel economy. This was challenging and did requ...

    Thankyou for this excellent video, best one out there. Just done this job on an audi A7 and it was incredibly helpful. Some tips from my experience: I had to pre load one of the intake bolts which had a very tight gap when re installing. I think it was the front one. For the egr clamp I used torque of 6nm plus a 90 degree turn to tighten it back up. Also when removing the intake be very careful to remove the tube that connects to the coolant reservoir. You have to disconnect this as it runs over the intake. I tried to lift it over and snapped it off and this delayed my re build. Thanks again!

    For what it's worth, I am just doing a transmission and differential oil change on my Z3 2.8 manual from year 2000 . It is fitted with a Torsen 25% lsd differential. The oil I am using for the differential is Amsoil Synthetic Severe Gear 75W/110 which appears to be the right oil for the Torsen lsd. For the gearbox, I am using Redline D4 ATF which is recommended on the "moment of ZED" youtube channel.

    It definitely helps to drain the oil. I had a fresh oil change a week before I started this project and when I pulled the oil cooler up the top of the motor filled up with oil. I only had coolant on the top of the engine when I started the project. I just need to buy the parts, and finish the project hopefully in the next week or two. Thank you for posting this video. It’s really helpful.

Less than 5k miles later the same code is back again?! (Yes, after clearing the code each time) Any additional insight is much appreciated.
