Black CSL from France

Olive · 20-03-2013, 01:45 PM

I am registered on this forum for a while but not posting very much. I am taking much more time to read you guys

I think I never really introduced myself and neither my car over here in past so maybe it is the moment.

.
The only topic I created was the one concerning Castellet Race Track :
http://www.cslregister.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8527

Then to do the things in order... my name is Olivier, I am living in the South of the France, in the mountains around Nice. I will make a lot of mistake in English, then do not hesitate to correct me or ask for precisions if I am not understandable

I bought my CSL 3 years ago. I was wanted only black one. I get opportunity to get this one from a good friend and many things have been done on it. All the chassis has been set by Delage Motorsport immediately after buying. He modified all the drive train parts and changed all was necessary. He also changed the drive shaft, flectors, engine supports and made a perfect geometry.
Once get back the car, it was simply not the same…

The car got some PSS10 suspensions, Supersprint Race exhaust and X Pipe.

Here are some pics :

The only one problem I had with was the orange engine light on the dashboard. I placed a small sentence on this subject on my "Castellet" topic.
It was visible after drive under the rain or after washing. Since 3 months it was visible every time …
I discussed about it on French Motorsport forum and solution was found by replacing exhaust camshaft position sensor. A post was created on M3 Forum.net with a DIY (http://m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=328247)
It takes around 2 hours when you do the things slowly but impossible to use a standard Allen key, I cut one :

Finally extracted the sensor and place the new one :

But … if, as me, you are losing a screw, you will have to find a solution to go get it !

Fortunately, it was the good way to do !

No more light after 2 driving session.

May be this problem and solution is well known here, sorry for the double information then ;-)

May be this topic is not at the good place, you can move it if you want,
