Re: Really Stupid Answer - The BMW 3 Series (E30) Forum

I hope that's it. I know how long you've worked and how cold it has been some of the time. However if that doesn't, it's probably time to start completely over and verify everything. I've been meaning to come up with an overhaul checklist for the M20 and that might be a good time to start.

Anyway Good Luck,
Richard
