eBay oil level sensors, and DIY inspection service
Discussion
One of the many things wrong with our E46 is the oil level sensor.
Are the eBay pattern ones any good? Or is it going to die within a few hundred miles causing me to have to drop the oil again?
It's also due a service - I think it's the Insp 2. However, it's on 137k and 14 years old, and I'm poor, so DIY seems like a good plan.
So, from looking around it seems like it's:
- Check everything hasn't fallen apart
- Brake Fluid
- Coolant
- Oil+Filter
- Sparks
What else is worth looking at? Most bushes and drop links are done (including front lower arms) and the autobox fluid has been changed.
Should I probably do all the cooling gumph? Header tank (eBay pattern any good?) and rad/pump?
