Removing the "squid" has been the single most hardest thing I've had to do on a car. Getting the starter wires were a pain in the you-know-what. I labeled everything carefully and now have the squid tucked nicely to the side. It seems that my car has been leaking oil for a while before I fixed the valve cover gasket. It's oil soaked right near where my fuel injectors were. My injectors were as bad as the pictures too, so I decided to send them out and get them cleaned w/ new o-rings and everything. Since the car will be down for ~1 week, I'll have plenty of time to carefully figure out which coolant hoses I need to replace. I'm still doing this on a budget, so hopefully I need to replace none! __________________ 2000 M5 -> 1996 318ti -> 1997 328i Instagram: ndrewchow YouTube: MINIzguy |
