Just to add to comments about the throttle body heating - as air flows through the narrow airway past the butterfly it speeds up therefore the air pressure drops resulting in water vapour condensing to liquid form which can freeze in the colder conditions of a West German winter (!) resulting in ‘carb ice’ (common in piston powered aircraft hence the carb heat lever which uses preheated air from around the exhaust manifold)

@austinvitoux 3 месяца назад

Saab did the same "coolant in the throttle body" thing for preheating the air going into the intake runners on a classic 900. I have no idea why, but you can delete them like on your BMW. Probably something common with Bosch systems. ALSO, I'd suggest purchasing a 3D printer for smaller, simple plastic bits. I've saved myself approximately half the cost of my Kobra 2 Pro printer so far for my Saab resto. You can even replace some flexible bits with TPU filament. I've also begun designing and printing my own replacement parts that are NLA from Saab with the aid of free CAD software available online (TinkerCad and Shapr3D)

As Tevron said this is a throttle body heating. I highly recommend keeping this working. Even if you driving only in summer. Due to high air flows the temp can drop under zero degrees C and freeze the throttle. Keep going, I love your channel! Best regards Chris

@unixnerd23 2 месяца назад

The M42 has a throttle body heater too (two styles were used). It can be deleted and results in simplified coolant and air hoses. I did mine and the idle is way better. It's called "the mess under the intake" in M42 circles.

I spent most of my spare time this entire winter completely rebuilding an hvac unit (to retro fit on my e30 convertible) after I saw your video on it. I even ended up combining it with the automatic temperature control unit. Installing it was pretty much straight forward but now it is taking me forever to fit all the parts in the engine bay as with every bolt I remove I discover more rust... I am very patient but you really are on another level :D I can imagine to do this full time though. Once I get in the flow it can be relaxing even when physically demanding.

The '90 Nissan 300zx I'm restoring also has the coolant going through the intake and throttle bodies. Quick answer its for emissions. Long answer, they wanted to get the motor up to temperature quickly so that its working as efficiently as possible, as quickly as possible. Definitely remove all that crap and plug off the lines, because its useless and prone to leaks. My throttle bodies had pressed in pipes and I used a press to remove them for a cleaner look. Since you are in a loony emissions country, probably just don't show or tell us you did it so you don't get in trouble!

When it comes to things like those floorpan drain plugs, and the plastic screws that hold interior pieces on, you can get generic ones that are identical and about 1/10th the price, a lot of the time they're common/standard items rather than being manufacturer specific, especially the interior clips/screws.

Good to see you back Steve. Maybe it's just me, but I'm definitely an amateur welder, having said that I've now done lots of it, and I still find sometimes it goes great and sometimes it doesn't. Same person, same welder and settings, same wire, same gas, same steel. If I had my time gain, I would definitely have paid extra for the RTech instead of the Sealey Supermig I own. In my experience, I get best results on car bodywork steel (0.8mm to 1.2mm) using 0.6mm wire and leaving a gap which is ideally the same as the wire, about 0.5mm. Although larger gaps can be accommodated, the welding job is always less tidy. If you want a good, invisible patch, it's always worth spending the extra time getting a perfect fit with nice even gaps. Talking of white spirit, I use loads of it, particularly for cleaning oily parts. The best price I found for it recently was Halfords, don't know whether it still is. Keep up the good work.

@RestoreIt 3 месяца назад

Great comment, thank you, Bob! You are spot on, great advice. I'm using 0.6mm (down from 0.8mm for years) which is helping, I just need to make thoes gaps a little smaller like you say, and turn it up a bit and I think I'll see an imporvement. The R-Tech is a dream machine and is doing wonders for my average welding. Oh yes, £4.99 for 2L is cheap! I'll have to pop in a get some. Thanks again, Bob!

Little tip. If you use a wire brush you will just polish the rust most of the time. Try scraping at it and you will see brown again. That is atleast my experience.

@UploadingOCD 3 месяца назад

Another great video! An idea for you for those pieces you can't reach and weld from the backside: don't fit the new piece on the exact contour. If you leave a space of around 0.5mm, it will allow the weld to penetrate deeper in. For the plastic dent, can you reach it from behind? If you do, try to heat and push to place.

@RestoreIt 3 месяца назад

Thanks, dude! That's a great idea. I'm just trying to think how I would keep it flush and ensure there is a 0.5mm away from the piece beneath it? I can't really get behind the dent, it's just more of the same material. It'll be interesting to see how that gets sorted, as I'm not 100% sure.

@UploadingOCD 3 месяца назад

@@RestoreIt Hi, not sure why you mentioned the metal beneath it. I meant you should make your new metal piece around 0.5mm smaller in perimeter to allow the weld to penetrate between old and new metal. This will give you better filling and not worry about places you can reach from the back side.

Coolant is passed through the throttle body to prevent icing in very cold climates.

The cost of all the misc clips and special screws, trim pieces etc is a nightmare! Back when e30s where cheap a friend of mine dismantled a few e30s for parts selling some bits but mainly carefully hoarding away as many spares as possible for his own car. Including every clip, terminal, special bolt you could imagine. It's saved him a fortune over the last 15years or so.

@RestoreIt 3 месяца назад

Tell me about it, and what a good idea. He's probably saves himself hundreds if not thousands...

I'm hoping to do the same but to a lesser extreme (I don't have the space) for my e39! Related to unobtainable clip and trim sourcing... thingiverse is full of useful 3d print models for older BMWs. We've printed a few bits to fix broken bits of trim on my e39 already some very helpful enthusiasts have spent a lot of time prototyping replacement parts!

He's printed them in ASA (apparently similar to what wing mirror shells are normally moulded in), though it apparently stinks to print with some scary fumes. He's got a fume cupboard and extractor fan etc to deal with the dangers.... it's way too early to give a review on how the parts will hold up really, ask me in a year! I don't really know much if anything about plastics let alone 3D printing but thankful I have a mate with know how and a fairly fancy 3D printer.

@RestoreIt 3 месяца назад

That does sound like a fancy one. But yeah, we're already at a fume cabinet and a version of printing I've not heard of, haha. It's a great idea, but it's certainly not as simple as buying a printer and hitting print. I'll look into ASA now, cheers!

I can only think of 2 things why coolant needs to go thru that throttle body. 1. to help cool down the coolant by the air that flows thru it(seems unlikely) 2. Trapped hot air can rise and get to the throttle body which results in highte IAT and therefor less power

@oOTevtronOo 3 месяца назад

wrong, its to heat up the throttle body in cold weather

@@RestoreIt Good one! No I don't put it on RU-vid, I have a job. If I were this slow though I'd have to make videos I guess to make any money. You fixed 4 tiny rust spots on a 30 minute video so who knows how long it really took. You're gonna have 20 videos and fix 64 little rust spots.
