I got UUC under drive pulleys years ago... I definitely noticed a difference. They are the fan belt pulleys, super easy to do

Anyone know the P/N for this little booger?

Edit: FOUND IT. JESUS CHRIST AFTER A MONTH OF SEARCHING I FREAKING FOUND IT.

Filter cover?
Similar to those, but this is shaped a little different. It goes right here in front of the fuse box:

My headlights are extremely dim. I could barely see at night and with the rain it was almost as if my headlights weren't on but the bulbs are not out. I saw some old threads on this but I am not clear on what the fix is. It seem quite complicated. I appreciate any advice thanks.

Another problem I've noticed in the past few weeks is an intermittent problem with the engine shudders at around 2500 to 3000 RPM - typically in third sometimes fourth gear. It occurs when you're pressing down on the accelerator but the engine is hesitating to accelerate forward. you could feel it almost jerking a bit forward and backwards before it catches and goes forward yet I'm not changing gears when it occurs. And then you get past it and it's OK. I heard there is a known issue about this and it requires some kind of software update.
I appreciate some advice.

Are your headlights from ZKW?
If it's burnt bowls the options are:
-replace headlights with AL headlights
-replace bowls with clemsone46 bowls (see http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showt...nt-bowls-today for review)
-retrofit the headlights using a kit such as https://www.theretrofitsource.com/co...kw-repair.html
Or have a place like lighwekz do the retrofit for you
TRS used to have a map of installers, but it's not available anymore. When I go to 'find a pro' it takes me to the contact us page.
Rubber sound dampening material under coupe rear bench: how important is it? Is there something I should replace it with instead (e.g., Dynomat, etc.)?
I pulled the backseat and that rubber is completely shot--pretty sure a mild sneeze would destroy the remaining pieces...
Have you checked the Lighting forum? http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/forum...hp?53-Lighting
I'm new to the forum, and barely have the right to comment, and certainly shouldn't complain, but as informative as this thread is, and I read it daily, why can't the questions be asked in the most appropriate technical forum section? This is a more technical thread vs. the "What did you do to your..." one. I find myself saving individual responses in my own bookmarks, and a good Search tool will, eventually, help me find other tidbits. Just a question - thanks for your consideration!
All ZHP sedans that have Xenon came with ZKW's from the factory. The question isn't whether it's ZKW, the question is if a previous owner has replaced them yet. By the sound of it, they have not. As others have said, the surefire way to tell is by removing the bulb cover from the back of the headlight as though you were going to change your bulb and look at the projector bowl. If you see burn marks, you have ZKWs that need to be replaced.
If you plan on keeping your car for a long time (several years), I advise you to replace them with something entirely different, not another set of ZKWs, otherwise it will happen again.
Found a dent on the A-pillar (right side). Given its location, are these PDR-able? luckily paint did not chip

Never know until you ask. They can do some pretty amazing things if they're good..,
When I replaced my interior I went through the front doors and installed some sound deadening material. I was planning on doing some in the rear seats/door cards but there was already factory sound deadening material. Surprisingly my rear bench factory sound deadening hadn't crumbled like other people's, but had it been gross and brittle, I'd have cleaned it out like anandoc said and installed some of my own sound deadening material.
I was thinking the same thing. Let's try to use the appropriate threads for specific questions. That way, we'll have a repository of information in one place. For example, put the lighting question in our lighting thread (not picking on anyone, just an example). Let's keep this thread for the odd one-off type questions.

I'm sure there are some PDR people who will say they can't. Honestly I'd call a higher end dealer nearby (someone like Porsche comes to mind) and ask who they use. They're not going to tell some guy who dropped $150k on a 911 "sorry bud, you're just going to have to live with a dented A pillar."
Anyone replace their rear control arm bushing before? Either that or fix a leaky Vanos tube? Dealership is trying to get me to schedule an appointment to fix them after I just forked out almost $4k to get my clutch replaced. Not in the financial situation to just bring it back over again lol

Numerous threads in the Suspension section re: rear trailing arm bushing replacement. Some members here even have the tool for rent.
http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/searc...archid=2530133
The VANOS oil pipe (hose) is ~$40-50 from the dealer (i didn't want to go with an off-brand here), and you should purchase 4 new washers. Not hard to do if you have smaller hands - just takes a bit of time.
Lemforder Brand z4m trailing bushings are $20 each from fcp euro.
Just need the tool and it is not a difficult diy.
Same goes for the Vanos Oil Line
Do the Vanos line now, that's critical. Do the bushings when you can afford it
How often should you change oil, time-wise? When I return home the car will have only had about 1,000 miles on the oil but I changed it early last June. I have my own oil change interval set at a year in my maintenance spreadsheet, but that was sort of arbitrary since I assumed I'd be come close to the 5k mileage marker every year anyways.
Oh that's great to hear about the prices, I'm literally broke right now so waiting on next paycheck to fix that Vanos leak. I'm going to be gone for the next week on spring break so it can wait until after that

Sigh.. lost count of how many of these I've had to replace. Usually they just crack though, never seen one blown out this bad. Any ideas for reinforcing the fogs? Do the laminates really offer any protection?
