2004 VW R32 – Headlight Lens Refurbishing

, ,

While one of our longtime VW R32 customers was in for repairs, we performed a headlight lens refurbishing.

Headlight Refurbishing

The Process

His R32 was in for a water pump, thermostat, coolant bypass pipe (crack pipe), and power steering pump. We also performed regular maintenance. First, we start by removing the headlights from his VW. Next, we wet sand the entire lens. We use 330 grit sandpaper, which removes oxidation, pits, nicks and blemishes. Thirdly, we move on to 400, 600, and 1200 grit sandpaper. Now that headlight is extremely smooth, we appy our headlight len refurbishing treatment.

Headlight Lens Refurbishing

We use a new way to clean headlights. It’s different! We don’t polish. Also, we skip the clear coat. We remove the yellow haze, then add a special treatment. This takes only five minutes per light. Now, the R32’s headlights look brand new! To keep them safe from Seattle weather for a year, we add a thin layer of nano ceramic coating.

As you can see, the lights look almost like new. We can’t make them 100% perfect. There are small flaws inside the light housing. But, cleaning your headlights is much cheaper than buying new ones. New Mk4 R32 headlights cost over $600 for a pair, plus the cost to put them in.

The True Cost of Cheap – Why Quality European Auto Repair Matters

The True Cost of Cheap: Why Quality European Auto Repair Matters

 

We are often asked to address The True Cost of Cheap & ‘Why do we need to replace additional parts’, when repairing our customers European cars. The answer is, due to European vehicles intricate engineering, these vehicles demand specialized care. At Meister Werks, we understand that quick and cheap fixes often lead to long-term headaches. While attempting to save money upfront, the “band-aid” approach to European auto repair can ultimately cost you more and waste your time. More over, it always makes it more difficult, time consuming, and in the end, more costly by not replacing associated parts during a repair. For example, if your car has 80,000 miles and a part breaks, the associated parts that are not broken still have 80,000 miles on them. Consequently, it is highly likely that those parts will fail when installing a brand new part.


The Pitfalls of the True Cost of Cheap aka “Just the Necessary Part”

The allure of a low-cost repair is understandable. However, focusing solely on one failed part ignores the interconnected nature of your vehicle’s systems. When a component fails, it often indicates underlying issues or accelerated wear in related parts.

For example, replacing a worn-out water pump on your European car, without addressing the aging thermostat or radiator hoses, that might seem efficient. However, the new pump places increased stress on these older, weaker components, leading to their premature failure. For example, belts, tensioner assemblies, and idler pulleys. Due to the True Cost of Cheap, you’re back in the shop, facing another repair bill and downtime.

Furthermore, cheap, aftermarket parts often lack the quality and precision of genuine or original equipment supplier (OES) parts. This can result in poor fitment, reduced performance, and a shorter lifespan, ultimately requiring replacement sooner than expected.

The Meister Werks Approach: Comprehensive and Correct

At Meister Werks, we believe in doing the job right the first time. This means:

  • Thorough Diagnostics: We don’t just fix the symptom; we identify the root cause. OBDII output tests and guided diagnostics on our factory scan tools will allow us to identify check engine lights and/or poorly running engines.
  • Genuine or OES Parts: We use only the highest-quality parts that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications and will never void any warranties.
  • Comprehensive Repairs: We address all related components that show signs of wear or potential failure. For example, when replacing a drive belt, we highly suggest replacing the idler and tensioner assemblies while performing this service. About 90% of the time, a new belt will cause pulleys to squeak and fail days or weeks after the replacement.
  • Preventative Maintenance: We advise on preventative measures to avoid future issues. Another example, when replacing spark plugs, we highly suggest replacing the ignition coil packs at the same time.

The True Cost of Cheap

True Cost of Cheap – Why Replacing Related Parts is Essential

Consider a suspension repair. Replacing a worn control arm without addressing the tie rod ends or ball joints is a short-sighted approach. The new control arm will place stress on these aging components, which are likely experiencing similar wear. This leads to premature failure, alignment issues, and compromised handling.

By replacing all related parts simultaneously, we ensure:

  • System Harmony: All components work together optimally, extending their lifespan. (Belts, Idlers, and Tensioners)
  • Improved Performance: Your car handles and performs as intended. (Shocks, Shock Mounts, & Stabilizers links)
  • Long-Term Savings: You avoid repeat repairs and costly breakdowns.
  • Peace of Mind: You know your vehicle is safe and reliable.

 

Investing in Quality, Not Quick Fixes

European cars deserve meticulous care. At Meister Werks, we prioritize quality, precision, and long-term reliability. We understand that a well-maintained vehicle is an investment in your safety, comfort, and driving enjoyment.

In conclusion, don’t let a “cheap” repair become an expensive mistake. Trust Meister Werks to provide the expert care your European car deserves. We do it right, so you can drive with confidence.

BMW Battery Replacement Information

BMW Battery Replacement Information

Replacing a BMW battery is not as straightforward as you may think. Modern BMWs, equipped with sophisticated electronic systems. These require specific  coding to ensure functionality and prevent issues. Below is a comprehensive guide for BMW owners.

 

 

Why Battery Replacement in a BMW is Unique

Firstly, a modern BMWs utilizes a battery management systems (BMS). This monitor and regulates the battery performance. Another key point, this requires the vehicle be coded to a new battery. Furthermore, simply swapping the battery without coding can lead to several problems.

The information from BMW’s ISTA factory scan tool lists the following information for your BMW Battery replacement.

  • Please observe without fail the following information on correct battery replacement! . Using ISTA Document “RA_61_20”, notes on battery replacement.
  • For further information, we find the master document in the battery modules. All BMW platforms are a little different, so it does take time to find all of the information in your BMW.
  • Ensure correct electrical system function. It is essential we install the original battery stored in the vehicle.
  • On vehicles with IBS (Intelligent Battery Sensor) the battery must be registered via the diagnosis system. This will reprogram the vehicle electrical system. Often the IBS has been superseded by a new version of the IBS and needs to be replaced. Some vehilces require one or two different pigtail adapters to allow the IBS to function better.
  • Standard batteries can always be replaced with AGM batteries. Although, they must match the same specification. In this procedure, you must register the vehicle and code the battery. We read out the battery size and registration in the vehicle electrical system. Using BMW’s ISTA scan tool, we use the Service functions. Then enter the Body module and Power supply. After that, we register a battery replacement. Finally, we veify the settings have been entered and saved.

The Importance of BMW Battery Coding:

  • Battery Registration. Coding a BMW battery tells the BMS that a new battery has been installed. This allows the system to adjust charging parameters and optimize battery lifespan.
  • Preventing Overcharging. Without coding, the BMS may continue to use charging parameters suitable for the old, degraded battery, potentially overcharging the new battery. Overcharging can lead to premature battery failure and damage to the vehicle’s electrical system.
  • Optimizing Battery Performance. The BMS adapts its charging strategy based on the battery’s age and condition. Coding helps a new battery charge optimally, maximizing its performance and lifespan.
  • Error Codes and System Malfunctions. Failure to code the battery can trigger error codes and system malfunctions, potentially leading to warning lights and reduced functionality of certain vehicle systems.

Selecting the Correct BMW Battery:

  • Battery Type and Specifications: Specific battery types are a requirement for BMWs. Typically a AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) battery. To emphasize, these can handle the high electrical demands of modern vehicles. The wrong battery type will lead to poor performance and premature failure.
  • Capacity and Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): The battery’s capacity (Ah) and CCA rating must match or exceed the specifications. To demonstrate, use a battery with a insufficient capacity or CCA can lead to starting problems and reduced electrical system performance.
  • Proper Fitment: The battery must physically fit within the vehicle’s battery compartment. This is because an improperly sized battery can lead to installation issues and potential damage.

The Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) and Ground Cable

Next, most BMWs equipped with an intelligent battery sensor (IBS) integrated into the negative battery cable. The IBS monitors various battery parameters, including voltage, current, and temperature, and transmits this data to the BMS.

  • IBS Function. The IBS is crucial for accurate battery management and charging. This helps the BMS to regulate charging and prolong battery life.
  • IBS Failure. Next, a IBS can fail due to various factors. This includes corrosion, electrical damage, and wear and tear. For example, a faulty IBS can lead to incorrect charging and battery failure.
  • Ground Cable Failure. The ground cable houses a IBS. This can also fail due to corrosion, damage, or loose connections. A faulty ground cable can lead to electrical issues, as well as starting problems.
  • Signs of IBS/Ground Cable Failure. Common signs of a failing IBS or ground cable include battery warning lights, starting problems, electrical system malfunctions, Inaccurate battery readings, and / or Increased battery drain

Professional Installations

BMW battery coding requires specialized diagnostic equipment and software. These are available our facility. Diagnosing IBS or ground cable issues requires expertise in BMW electrical systems. As shown above, using an authorized BMW service center, such as Meister Werks, can help maintain your vehicle’s warranty.

In Conclusion

In short, replacing a BMW battery is a complex procedure that requires careful attention to detail. Even more, Coding the battery is essential for proper battery management and optimal performance. Lastly, selecting the correct battery type and specifications is crucial for reliability. At the same time, Understanding the IBS and ground cable is vital for diagnosing and resolving electrical issues.

1972 BMW 2002 Center Console

, ,

Last week we designed and made a  1972 BMW 2002 Center Console for one of our customers. Our customer brought his 2002 in over a year ago to do some restoration work. This was one of the items on his list that he wanted, among many other items.

There are a few companies online that sell center console kits. However, most of them have 52mm gauge pods built in, or you have to buy multiple kits to get what you want. In this instance we designed to draft up our concept in Fusion 360 CAD and make it ourselves. We drafted up the basic profile of the sides. Then we 3d printed the sides, and test fit to make sure the fit was proper under the dash. After that we 3d printed drafts of the center sections. The first prints were about 15mm narrow on either side and did not allow us to put it under the dash.

After knowing the exact size, we changed a few features on the design. For example, we changed the cup holders from swuare to round. We did not like they was they looked and they did work correctly on the first draft. After finalizing our design, we started printing our final prints. We ended up using about 3kg or around 6.6lbs of filament with the drafts and final production pieces. Don’t mind the red size panel, I ran out of black filament. It will get covered up later, so I doesn’t really matter too much.

After the final parts were finished printing, we installed brass wood inserts into the plastic.  We use a torch to get the brass inserts hot, then screwed them in. If we didn’t get them hot first, the PETG plastic we use to print this would have cracked. PETG is a very strong plastic that is weather and UV safe. Similar to ABS, but easier to print than ABS but much stronger. Most people use PLA on there 3d printers. PLA breaks down overtime, is not UV, and will absorb moisture. PETG is more difficult to print than PLS and it requires a hotter temperature to extrude from the nozzle. We use special diamond tip nozzles and had to customize and modify our 3d printer. We do this in order for us get better quality prints off our printer.

Once the brass insert were installed we dry fit the parts together to make sure everything fit properly. Once we verified the fitment, we started wrapping the parts with marine grade vinyl upholstery . This material looks exactly like leather, and gives the piece a more vintage look and feel.

Once we installed all of the faux leather (pleather) on this BMW 2002 Center Console, we installed felt on the circumference of the cup holder inserts and rear tray. We also put felt around the outside of the cup holders and tray inserts to make sure there were no rattles. (not in photos) This also help press fit them into place, although, they can still be removed for cleaning purposes.

One other thing we noticed after the dry fit, the hazard button harness does not fit. We are also 3d printing a connector so we can elongate the harness and allow us to plug in the switch in the lower location. In hind sight, we should have put the switch up top, however we did not want the radio to be and knuckle height when shifting the BMW. I personally have owned vintage vehicles that had the radio directly infront of the shifter and always found myself touching the buttons when shifting into reverse, first, third and fifth gears. So having the button in this location, recessed, was probable a better decision.

Porsche Spark Plugs Replacement

,

Why you should replace the Spark Plugs on your Porsche at the Factory Service Interval 

At some 80,000-mile service intervals some Porsche may need the spark plugs replaced. Spark plugs and ignition coils are crucial for maintaining optimal engine performance and longevity. Here is some comprehensive information on why you need to perform this service.

Porsche Spark PlugsWhat Happens to Your Spark Plugs Over Time:

  • Plug Wear.
    Firstly, over time, these will experience wear and tear. The electrodes erode, the gap widens, and their ability to ignite the fuel-air mixture diminishes. This leads to:

    • Misfires.
      Secondly, incomplete combustion causes misfires, resulting in rough idling. As a result, this will decrease your engine power, and potential engine damage.
    • Reduced Fuel Efficiency.
      Thirdly, misfires and incomplete combustion decrease fuel efficiency. For example this will increasing fuel consumption.
    • Increased Emissions.
      Fourthly, worn spark plugs can contribute to increased emissions, harming the environment.
  • Ignition Coil Degradation.
    Ignition coils provide the high voltage necessary to ignite the spark plugs. Over time, they can deteriorate due to heat, vibration, and electrical stress. Additionally, this can lead to weak or intermittent sparks, resulting in misfires and similar issues as worn spark plugs.

By replacing the spark plugs and ignition coils at the recommended service intervals:

  • Restore Engine Performance.
    Ensure smooth, efficient, and powerful engine operation.
  • Improve Fuel Economy.
    Enhance fuel efficiency and save money on gas.
  • Reduce Emissions.
