Hi

Seeking a bit of assistance.

After trouble shooting the alarm on my W Reg (2000) 2.0L BMW Z3 mysteriously going off randomly, I found that the well on the LHS of the boot had been full of water, submerging the Inclination sensor, causing it to corrode and no doubt trigger false alarms. I understand from trawling online information this is quite a common issue, with water ingress likely when the vehicle is parked facing uphill.

Water damaged sensor removed and a 2nd hand replacement sensor ordered online, I've set about repairing the connector wiring that had corroded and seperated from the unit (see photo). I've bought a new connector and wires from the dealer, so cutting the old one off and connecting the new should have been straight forward........

The problem is that there are 5 existing wires, 6 ports within the new connector, and 3 wires that have broken free so I don't know which port they should connect into.

Has anyone got a photo of an intact connector? Also, 3 of the wires are black with a red stripe; are they interchangeable or do they need to be in specific ports (no doubt another issue if they do).

      Morning Connah If they are listed in www.realoem.com then you should be able to get them. If not then it is a search of the after market I don't remember seeing them separate (doesn't mean they are not out there) Good Hunting Dave

      Gas Exhaust Recirculation Cooler Replacement

      Can anyone explain why BMW are extending the warranty for 15 years on this part. They will not reply if they are manufacturering the part or when part will be available. Why 15 years Warranty? Car was recalled 2019. Trying Goverment Ombudsman for answers.

      New Owner Thoughts – 320d 2l M Sport Touring Xdrive 2019

      I couldn't agree more just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Laptops are a prime example, give me than two sodding ports!! I don't live in that dreamland where everything works flawlessly over WiFi, I'm barely on dial up speeds here! Also what is with that dreadful piano black trim? Scratches the instant you look at it, and in my opinion I think it will date really badly. All new cars seem to have it, especally the EV's. Is it cheap to produce? Still trying to learn how to use the reverse camera😁... and failing!

      Drive shaft making a weird sound

      Morning Paul A wheel bearing normally protests under load when driving (groaning rumbling worse when cornering) CV Joint clicking sound, have you checked the condition of the CV Boots ? As an X5 pilot what condition are the tyres ? Have any or all been changed recently ? If the tyres (even 1) are out of spec Transfer case damage or diff damage can be caused (gives similar symptoms to those you seem to have Dave
