I have a question. i'm planning to buy a old BMW but it has this clikking sound. Also the car has no acceleration. In idle gear it works perfectly and it starts also from the first key turn even after it has been standing for 2 years. I'm thinking that it may be the camshaft what is done. Is it very hard to change that? thank you and bye, Martin for Estonia Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator May 23, 2007, 3:50 PM Post #2 of 4 (2432 views) Re: BMW 520i 1985 Sign In Camshaft didn't wear out sitting around and it is a very involved job as much is on a BMW. It needs some solvent in the fuel and an oil change and let it run for a while - drive it some if you can and beware of the brakes at first, T Wiplala69 Anonymous Poster wiplala69@msn.com May 24, 2007, 6:29 AM Post #3 of 4 (2431 views) Re: BMW 520i 1985 Sign In the old man said that the clikking sound has reached his ears as long as he remember. And the breaks were woring just fine.

Indoor storage should be much better and outdoors is a disaster for a 2 year rest for a car, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
