    Big warning on Cohline fuel hose. We are replacing all Cohline 2122 we have installed.

    For those of you using the Gates Barricade, how is the 8mm I.D. hose fit? The original spec is 7.3mm I.D. for "8mm" hose for a correct, tight fit.

    Consolidated Notes: E3/E9 Headlamp Washer System

    I have installed 3 such systems in E9, E3 and E21 (different hardware but same functional logic). You can see some pics of the system components prior to installation on post #76 here: https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/76-3-0-si-introduction.10146/page-4. Post #1 of this thread shows a couple...

    Big warning on Cohline fuel hose. We are replacing all Cohline 2122 we have installed.

    If you are using Cohline, 2240 would be my suggestion. It is rated up 100% methanol/ethanol, maximum temperature of 125 C, short term to 150 C. I've used it on several cars for several years now with no degradation while always using 10% ethanol. The smallest bend radius (70mm for 2240)...

    Consolidated Notes: E3/E9 Headlamp Washer System

    Hi Philippe, The power (+) for the washer pump motor is routed and delivered to the pump from the right side headlight wiper motor. There is a rotating cam inside the motor which acts upon an electrical contact for the washer motor +. It's the blue wire, I believe, from motor to headlight...

    Our friends coupe was stolen yesterday….

    Looks interesting. Don't see USA coverage (here) even in the upgraded model (208 Euro) Do you have one? It appears it has to be sent back to the company (in DK?) to have the battery changed. And the highest frequency of tracking is every 10 minutes.

    Our friends coupe was stolen yesterday….

    When I was researching this a few months ago, I thought this device, the LandAirSea 54 would be the best combo of affordability and capability; far more capable than the AirTag but at the cost of a monthly plan (starting at $10/month). Although I have no personal experience with it, the battery...

    Hey Steve, this handy little tool can be found all over the interwebs but illustrates a simple concept you could MacGyver at home.

    Koopman what are the sizes please. Can only see 17 on one side. Looking for any sizes you have for the box wrenches but don't need 5 of the same.

    E3 Lookalike?

    I really enjoy hearing the perspective of home market guys Cristoph and Krzysztof about the car in back in the day. The classic cars for me are a time machine to somehow be immersed in an era I wasn't part of but have an interest in. Thanks guys.

    Steve, looking good! Do we feel a lockplate to be necessary? If you or someone has the CAD file for that Sendcutsend could likely laser cut 20 of those for a few $$ each...

    Import fees rant

    Breiti, you have to customs and tax even if the package you receive was sent from inside the EU? What if it is sent from Germany?

    Marketplace golf CSI in mid west

    Counterpoint: I've listed 2 cars on BAT, both RNM and both sold to an underbidder for appreciably more than the RNM. Not every potential buyer is consulting BAT every day. Seven days to me has always seemed brief for what can be considered a 'specialty' car.

    Help with Ebay Kleinanzeigen (Germany)

    Hi guys, I am trying to reach a vendor on Ebay Kleinanzeigen. I was able to register but it requires a German phone number, which I don't have, to verify the account. If someone who is already on Ebay Kl. can please contact me via PM so you can have that vendor reach out to me I would greatly...

    Golf Yellow CSi on BAT - NMNA

    Welcome to the forum Josh. Swing by any Fuelfed event next season and give me heads up; it'd be a rare sight to see two Golf E9s side by side.

    Golf Yellow CSi on BAT - NMNA

    HI guys; yeah, the color seems a bit washed out on some photos but I think it's the lighting and the camera's color balance being influenced by the background and the muted quality of the sunlight. Looking at the less well-lit photos such as under the bumpers or under the hood it looks closer to...
