Hi all, I'm the proud 9th owner of a 1989 coupe 2.0e (UK), & I like the car, though predictably it's got a couple of issues:
- Once the engine has warmed up, the revs pulse at idle, between 900 & 1100 rpm, about once a second. Funnily enough, my last bmw did a similar thing, & belive they both have Bosch management systems. Googling this group suggests that this could be a vacuum leak, or a bad / dirty ISV. Could there be another cause? Occasionally the car will stall while changing gears, which is probably related to the bad idle.
- The accellerator pedal's resistance increases in a step, towards the end of it's travel - what's this? It certainly seems to make the car go faster!
- The spare wheel bay is collecting water, is there a diy solution to this?
Many thanks for any advice, Jamie
