If you are limited in space and can't do them all at once outside, start with the rears (always start with the caliper that's farthest from the reservoir.) Bleed them so that there's new fluid coming out, and keep watching so the reservoir doesn't go dry. Then move to the fronts. Good Luck

It should take up some of the slack or tolerance. The bottom of the rods were too far out of tolerance. The larger (thicker) bearings helped, but there was still the knocking noise, albeit less audible.

Thanks for the kind words, glad the video helped!

thanks for the kind words. When I made this back in the day I could choose any intro song and not have ads play. Things have changed dramatically, oh well.

First, clean the area before removing the bleeder screw, good brake cleaner will work but be careful not to drench the brake pads, and keep rags around to wipe things up. Your system will take on air when replacing bleed screws, so once you replace all bleed screws you must bleed your system. If you doubt your capability to do something like this, take your car to a shop. Brake system work is not something you want to chance from a safety point of view.

No issues, I've had to upgrade the ZZ2 software once, but was able to do that myself with a windows laptop. On the plastic panels, I've had them out for other purposes and made sure I bought all new clips for them. I bought those from Gaudin Porsche in Las Vegas (they ship.)

have you had any issues with oem microphone picking up your voice?

That's a great question, I sold the X3 soon after I did this procedure. On my vehicle, it was missing altogether due to an earlier windshield replacement which leads me to believe it was stuck to the glass and removed and not replaced. The important thing (whichever way you orient yours) is that the thicker edge is facing up to properly fill the gap from a wind perspective.

@@SirFixAlotAutos thank you so much. And did you mean “wide “ perspective ?

I no longer have the vehicle, but call Bimmers.com and ask for all of the molding clips. They'll walk you through the diagrams and you can just order over the phone. bimmers.com/product/genuine-bmw/51317306205. Call them, these parts are difficult to identify from the factory diagrams, unfortunately. Good Luck.

@@SirFixAlotAutos thanks alot, i will try.

Glad it helped! Thanks for the kind words.

You are spot on, it's difficult for the windshield repair people to keep up with all of the factory tricks...which then forces owners back to the dealership. Also why I sold the vehicle.

Well, I hope it does not come to that. My 2014 x3, 35i is in perfect condition and is a pleasure to drive. I have to admit that I am intimidated by doing this myself due to the clips and not even knowing if I can get seal around the window edge and the push seal through . I sure would not to damage the side molding. I am a decent mechanical guy and have.worked on cars a lot, but…The proliferation of plastic clips on cars is just mind-boggling . This is the first car I’ve had that has molding over the window edge. Thanks for your response.

Hi , I am wondering the top seal you put is upside down compared with that on my car . The sticker is the way up or down? It looks like the way up on my car( way to the glass).

After a little more research, I found that my car doesn’t even use this seal. In fact, it uses a seal which is more typical of most cars today and it is in there so I ended up sending the seal back. Mine is a 2014 X3

@@dcssteve1944mine is 2014 x3 28i, I thought they share the same seal or maybe not. 😅

Glad it helped!

Hi Jens, this video was a brief overview of the ZZ2 in my 981. The switching between the front and rear camera is triggered similarly in a manual (reverse gear vs any forward gear.) The camera is your choice (or your install shop's choice) and just needs to be compatible (most are). The cameras my installer used are attached with adhesive. I'm recommending Car Audio MX located in San Jose, CA for the purchase and installation (Martin the owner will take care of acquiring everything, performing the installation, and upholding any warranty claims), but if you aren't in the area then you would need to check with your local car audio shop. If you are trying to source it for DIY, you would need to contact ZZ2. zz-2.com/products/it3-pcm31a-all-in-one. There are installation instructions on their website, but note I can not help you with the DIY part as I had it professionally installed.

Sorry no, I sold it 6 years ago.

They didn't have to install a new mic, it works well with the original. I didn't have the OEM parking warning system, but I don't believe it interferes with it. I had it installed at Car Audio MX in San Jose, CA.

Sorry I don't, but you can look them up at Gaudin: www.gaudinporscheparts.com/. Great source for OEM dealer parts. They have diagrams to help locate the part.

@@SirFixAlotAutos Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words, give it a try, at least you'll know you have a new unit in place after 23 years...

www.fcpeuro.com/products/mercedes-active-body-control-flush-kit-aga-tools-0031846101, no longer have the vehicle, don't know if this is what you're looking for.

Since it has collars, your alignment shop can adjust ride height.

Thanks for the kind words Tom. I have sold the 997 and now have a 981 Cayman, a lot of the same procedures occur there, just from a different angle. I also now have a camera that doesn't make focusing noises ;) I don't monetize my videos, just make them when the vehicle requires maintenance.

The original plastic window was cut out with a box cutter knife, just go to the edge of the cloth or vinyl, you need to do with with the top removed and on a flat cardboard surface. Use a Dremel with a sand-paper wheel to get it straight. The gluing process is applied to the remnant of the original plastic window and also to the plastic window you are installing (just the overlap area). Do this in sections and do it neatly and sparingly, you don't want the glue seeping out and getting in places you don't want it. If you have the glue on both surfaces, it's a really strong bond and you won't need a lot.

Yeah sorry, I no longer use that camera. But I no longer own BMWs as well.

Thanks for the feedback, glad it helped.

Thanks for checking it out!

Fantastic, just take your time and when replacing the foam, use care in shaping it similar to the other side if working on the bolsters. That's key to getting that smooth look.

FCP Euro, ECS Tuning, and your BMW dealer, they can also be found on eBay. They just snap into place. If you purchase them from the dealer, the parts department can show you how to snap them in.

Thanks for the clarification, makes sense. It might have a little more wind noise if the top strip is removed, I sold the vehicle (and the lousy camera- always out of focus) soon thereafter. Again thanks for the note.

Great! Have all parts on hand and take your time. Do it when you are not depending on the car for transportation in case you need to get more parts. Good Luck!

Your alternator may be bad, have that checked by your mechanic.

@@SirFixAlotAutos you were right I just got it fixed thank you!

Glad it helped and thanks for your comment.

Yes, I still have the stock GPS function and it still shows on the instrument cluster. However, I don't use it. The benefit of the ZZ2 is the capability to bring in GPS applications like Waze - providing easier search and current traffic conditions plus route optimization. This system is additive to the original PCM, it doesn't eliminate original functions when installed properly.

Glad it helped.

Hope it helped and saved you some time.

and it's a 1991 miata

Sounds like it is an issue with the gauge itself since you're getting 74 ohms, current is flowing. Here's a video on how to remove the cluster ua-cam.com/video/vk-Su60g1tM/v-deo.html. You can also test the plug (same color wire) to the back of the gauge cluster connector to make sure the current is flowing up to the gauge cluster and there is no break in the line. If a signal is there, then you likely need to replace the fuel gauge. Goog Luck.
