[QUOTE="ratrek0, post: 379882, member: 17399"] E46(318i)1.9 technical issues.NEED HELP! 1) DASHBOARD METER. I've got this problem with the meter. If you notice there's two button on the meter board whereby one's for the clock, and the other for the distance. I seems to be having this issue with the distance button which i cant reset it. How should i fix it ? Does your BC button works? It locate on the end of the knob for turn signal handle. if you reset the average consumption, then your multi function is working. As for the odometer trip reset button, most probably your reset PB is not sitting properly. There is a possibilty that some have open up the dash board before and did not fixed it back properly. You can remove the instrument cluster by removing 2 torx screw located on the top of the dash board. After you have remove the 2 screws, you have to lower the steering wheel in order to remove the instrument cluster. There are 2 plugs located behind the cluster which can be release by "unhooking" the retainer clip in order to remove the plugs. [COLOR="green"]I'll look into the details of this matter. Thank you Jarance.btw, wats a BC an PB button ?[/COLOR] 2) OIL ALERT!(DASHBOARD) I've some leakages on the bottom part of the engine.My foreman says it's normal to leakages but it causes anxiety for me. Can't sleep in peace. Can anybody suggest anybody who's good at fixing that ? No it is not normal to have oil leak at the bottom part of the engine. This is a sign that the oil seal is worn out or the oil that you used is too thin or the oil is overfill. Get the car jack up and get it clean up of all the dirt. Drive the car for a few days and check for the source of the new leak. By determine the source of the leak then only you can determine the rectification work. [COLOR="Red"][COLOR="Green"]1st mechanic that I went to had since changed the so called leakage. Problem still persist. 2nd mechanic says it's normal.Damn it.I don't reali like that mechanic cuz they say it's normal he said that I can wait till the next service ,well it doesn't give me a piece of mind.[/COLOR][/COLOR] 3) AUDIO ISSUES The next problem that I have is pertaining the audio system. I do not wish to change the original sound system as I believe it's gona cost me a BOMB, The knob where you can lower and increases the volume is out of order. The front speakers doesn't seems to have any sound. Well, it clicks sometimes. Can somebody suggest any good audio specialist ? You can also increase or decrease the volume from your muti fuction button on the steering wheel. Does it work since your volume knob does not work. Does your "ON/OFF" also work? and the knob that show a "music" knob works when you press it. This button allow you to change the setting like tone, balance etc. [COLOR="green"]My model doesn't haf a multifunction button, would also like to know the cost of the multi function wheel. Any idea ? The ON/OFF button is ok, but the volume knob and the buttons is totally out of order. The front speaker is not working as well. [/COLOR] I don't enjoy my car being touched by the non-specialist whereby every damn mechanic says they can do BMW. In fact , i've had this bad experience with the non- specialist where they repair my power window, they gota remove a clip and eventually broken one of the clips. F$%K!!!!! Check out the list of workshop used by members. [COLOR="green"]Where can i check the list of workshop ? Thank you Jarance..[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
