Serious clutch mystery - any E28 experts out there?
Hi guys. I hope some of you can help me solve this problem - I have a
mystery rogue clutch master cylinder on my 87 E28 520i. The design and fitting is totally unlike what should be there, at least according to my local BMW dealer. The cylinder is FAG Part No S5392A. Now I need to repair or replace this cylinder, and I have no idea where or how to get a replacement........! See my note below, which I posted a few days ago. "I have to change my Clutch MC, and according to both Haynes and my local part provider, the one that is in the car is all wrong. It has a 2 hole mounting flange set at right angles to the axis of the cylinder and bolts to the face of the bulkhead. Whereas Haynes indicates that it should have a flange face parallel to the axis of the cylinder and bolt to a plate next to the clutch pedal. Did they change the design in the last year of E28?? What is going on?" Steve |

I have the same problem with my e28, how did you solve it?
Will a repair kit work as well? According to the chassis number the master cylinder that came up is too short |

I can't tell what you're referring to because your references are all screwed up and you don't include any of the original post which is many years old. >Will a repair kit work as well? >According to the chassis number the master cylinder that came up is too short Are you referring to my issue with air getting into the system in some mysterious way in cold weather? I never did figure out what was going on but it's possible it might have to do with overextension of the master cylinder. We'll find out this winter. The last two winters I just decided to leave it in the driveway and take another car on cold days. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

What problem is the same? Use www.realoem.com or www.penskeparts.com to find all of the factory original parts used to build your car. You can source the parts you want someplace else, or you can take the parts page with you to your local BMW dealership and get them to price match. Realoem and PenskeParts are not your typical online El Cheapo sellers, and I've found that most dealerships will give you the prices shown. Not all, and not all of the time, but you will always get real factory parts and sometimes it's worth the money to do the job once instead of over and over. |
