1) The standard hydraulic pump may not be powerful enough. Try a pump from a Caterpillar D9. Just kidding. Just have them meet you.

2) I have used silicone rubber sealant when the screw things break for the dash, and assume it would work for the console. I brace it until it sets, and you will need something heavy for the console. Unlike epoxy or whatever, the silicone can be pried up and removed if necessary. Maybe someone else has a better idea.

3)They all do that. Just not as much in the summer.

Good luck with the hydraulic problem.

3 questions i need some input on. 94 740il
1. I have a friend and his wife that are a little over weight combined weight between 500 and 600 pounds. I've noticed that when it's cold and they are both in the back after a short period of driving I start hearing a funny noise from under the hood, sounds like a power steering pump that is failing. They get out and after a short while noise stops. Any ideas?

2. Wood trim on console is loose. What can i use to glue it back down?

3. When it is cold, below freezing, it seems that I have excessive vapor coming out of the tail pipe. If i get on it from a stoplight you can't see the cars behind me. In warm weather there are no ommisions from the tail pipe. No noticable oil or coolant loss. Ideas?

Thanks
