E30
My e30(6years old) has developed a grunting noise on the a-side when hot. Would that be the thrust washers needing to be replaced.

Thanks

Is your iso pump lube system working? Is there crystalized iso around the top of the pump? I am surprized that your e30 isn't giving you an error code. 6 years? Definately time to rebuild the pump anyway. If the pump is really bad from not being rebuilt in so long, you might want to check the bearing #205 at the top of the pump. Take the side cover off #226, and watch the connecting rod as it pumps. Make sure it is well greased. It is pictured on page 57 on the manual, link at left
