what a fight! e30 m3 heater elements gone, getting it out was a luvly job. just managed with the 4 bolts through to the air plenum off and shoving it a bit skew, just eneough to let the element come past the column
not easy. appart from that, steering wheel, front seat, consoles wiring loom, fire panel.. still a new element should cure the leak |

ive got the part number and a photo on my phone ready to send to Simon at c3 cos he said there were two and coulnt tell me which one till i exposed it. Uwe i am thinking the two are one like mine with front and back pipe one to the valve and one to another plastic pipe and, the other has the in and out next to eachother and alloy pipes through bulkhead? hows your s50 doing?

My S50 is doing very well. No risk of breaking it, it's still sitting in the garage. (...don't ask)  Edited by UweM3 |

all done now i think, just managed to twist the unit away from the column enough to slide the new element in, then wiggle it back up in place and get the nuts on under the screen. if anyones doing this tho - i made the mistake of putting the front pipe on thinking it would go thro the bulkhead on the matrix...it wont, you have to fit it after and stand on your head to get the top bolt in big thanks to Simon and Kirby at C3 for getting a matrix to me |
