I need to look to see if i can find my front right pdc sensor in my bumper, looks liek the previous owner popped it out, into the bumper.
My 35d started right up today in -6, early this morning after sitting overnight on the streets of nyc. Car ran smoother than when I start it at 30 degrees.... that's weird to me. I've got a misfire on cylinder 5 when I start it between 10 and 35 degrees, and it runs rough for a minute or two. But at -6 this morning it started up silky smooth! stupid regen ruined my gas mileage though, in addition to the cold.

I jumped it this morning at -2, started roughly but idled fine. Left it running, wife got in to leave and called me because the instrument cluster was flooded with errors. All were likely caused by low battery voltage so I'm not shocked...


Battery is only two years old, installed at a dealer because I didn't have the registration software stuff and car was fairly new to us. I guess it could be faulty, but alternator could be on it's way, or there's some power draw somewhere. Wife informed me she's been getting high battery drain warnings while sitting in the car on the phone (engine not running).


Fortunately it's supposed to get back up into the 40s this weekend. It's been below zero for like two days straight.

It's been chilly here too, I'm in NJ. -4 this morning when I started it up. started fine, but the coolant didn't seem to want to reach mid-high 80's until about 35 minutes into driving. Up highway hills it would ride to 86-88, and coasting would bring it back down to around 80. I'm really hoping my brand new thermostat isn't failing already! But it was below 0 for most of the drive, so I guess it's not THAT worrisome that it took so long to get to temp. Silly diesels, not warming up quickly.

I'm looking forward to defrosting this weekend, and into next week it's supposed to be getting up above 50! Time for a long overdue wash!

It is local hand made. On ebay it is more expensive. I paid 140€ for both. Plus 120€ for painting and plus 60€ for installation.

It looks very good. I will do this for my e70 aswell, the aero pack, but i ll leave the bumpers unpainted, it will make a nice contrast.
