air pump clutch - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

ian m5 · 21st October 2009, 00:03

has anyone repaired the electro magnetic clutch on the air pump just above the air con unit? the rivets on mine have sheared allowing the mechanism to spin. luckily i noticed the noise and cut the v belt before it cut through the water pipe just above it, davidoli i managed to lose your card but would you have a spare unit for sale? alternately i would happily replace the clutch with a new unit if anyone knows if they are serviceable/available

next ring trip on the 31st but i doubt air con would be badly missed this time. anyone seen a snow forcast

Sebring Sienna has already achieved a sub 9min lap my friend .....no need for a supercharger !

JB Jnr did an 8.45 min in Calypso Candice this Sept with traffic and a slight incident !

davidoli whats your personal best, does anyone have a low 8 time?
mine is 8,32 on a really cold deserted early morning obviously bridge to gantry and perfect conditions.
car was iced up in adenau but the track was perfect

Ian , I am nowhere near as quick around there as Steve , Tel and Jnr ........If I've ever broken 9 mins personally , I'd be pleased .

In all honesty , I don't give a **** about my time and know when I've done a good lap based on the overall circumstances !

I had a couple of corkers this Sept but don't time them .

8.32 is a quick lap imo .

A low 8 for an E34 M5 would be good going .......... vrrrrrmmmm !
