The problem is that there is no heat. I am speculating that it could be the hot water valve that allows the hot water to flow into the heater core, but I do not know how to test this theory. I don't think that it could be the heater core b/c I would think that would be evidenced by a leak or something. The only other idea I have is that the vacuum actuator that opens the heater flap isn't working, but I would think that would be the least likely scenario. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello All, I ask (ok, beg!) the moderators to please let this through, as I am travelling quite a distance from home, and need some real basic car advice. My "other" car is a 1995 BMW 325i 5 speed with about 75k miles. Upon arriving at my destination today, I noticed the clutch a little jittery upon initial accelleration in first gear. I've had slipping clutches in other cars, but this isn't it. It shifts and holds other gears just fine. When I was parking, I noticed a low "rumbling" sound only when I had the clutch depressed. As soon as I released the clutch (in neutral), the rumbling disapeared. I've had the same "rumbling" in a previous car, but it was an bad tranny when the clutch was engaged. I simply can't figure out what could the problem be only when the clutch is depressed. If you have any suggestions, please email me privately at heskin(at)bellatlantic.net. Thank you all in advance! -Hank #1619 ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 3 Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2001 03:34:36 -0000 From: "Mike Griese" <mike.griese@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: "other car" advice.. ***** Moderator's Note ***** Please reply to Hank privately ***** --- In dmcnews@xxxx, "Hank Eskin" <heskin@xxxx> wrote: > > Hello All, > > I ask (ok, beg!) the moderators to please let this through, as I am > travelling quite a distance from home, and need some real basic car advice. > > My "other" car is a 1995 BMW 325i 5 speed with about 75k miles.

I requested a flatbed truck and told them the car could not be towed...they happy provided me with a flatbed!

The operator MUST NOT try to pull it on by the lower control arms! If towed backwards either on the ground or flatbed the rear louver should be removed as it will catch the air and fly off taking out the "T" panel and maybe the rear window. If an automatic it cannot be towed with the rear wheels on the ground AT ALL. If towed on the ground it cannot be picked up too high because if taken over a bump the end will hit because of the low clearance so be careful going in and out of driveways or you will be fixing the front air dam. It is best to do as much preventitive maintance as you can to avoid towing. If going any distance a trailer or flatbed is the only way to go.
