87 325i convertible under significant repair.
been reading this forum alot, but this is my first post. I would really appreciate if someone could identify this part so I can replace it. I can't find a picture anywhere in the bently manual.
This part is mounted to the left front of the car, above the brake distributor. It connects with a cable to the accelerator cruise control, and it connects with a thicker (electrical?) cable through the passenger firewall.
It's making a loud, repetitive knocking sound while the car is stopped or moving, engine running or not. Power must be on however. Hitting the brake stops it, or hitting the clutch, but it starts knocking again when both are released. Knocking is faster when the engine is running.
Attached picture below. Here are two part codes that are on it:
1 373 681.9
408201/005/006
Let me know if you recognize this! Thanks!
ps-other repairs I am hoping to attempt soon:
find and fix oil leak
replace front wheel bearing
valve clearance? (scratchy sound in one cylinder)
replace fuel pump
