gilber33 Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Hello all: I'm looking for the connector and several inches of harness for the coolant level sensor and both fog lights. Shoot me a message if you have an e30 parts car you could snip this from! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhundley Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 You can buy all of this stuff new from the dealer and isnt very much money at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HipMF Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 A lot of those connectors are made by TE. They're part of their "Junior Power Timer" series. However, sifting through all the specs and datasheets to find the exact part number you need can be a challenge because they're are a lot of different options available. If you can get them from the dealer, that would be easier. m42b32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll check PNs and see if somewhere online sells them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight6pwr Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 With most of the connectors, if you buy online you have to piece-meal it together. i.e. one part number for each pin w/wire, one part number for plastic connector, etc. Also, the e30 can be tough, some of the connectors arent shown in the RealOEM catalog. The coolant level sensor plug is one of them. @andyhundley I disagree, most times you pay $20+ for a plug/pigtail! The coolant plug housing is listed for e32/e34, but should fit the e30. Sadly, its fricken $19 to put this one together! Washer Fluid/Coolant level plug housing PN 61131378408 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-plug-housing-61131378408 Pins for above (2 required per plug)- PN 61130007441 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-round-receptacle-2-5-watertight-0510-mm-61130007441 ------------------------------------------- Fog light stuff. Again, hilariously $28 for each! Fog light plug housing PN 61131378418 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-plug-housing-2-pol-grey-61131378418 Pins for above (2 required per plug)- PN 61130007446 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-round-receptacle-2-5-watertight-1025-mm-61130007446 I guess you could go with the non-watertight version of the pigtails (usually for interior connectors) and just shrink wrap them yourself to save some money, but considering these connectors are in fairly exposed places, I wouldnt.

gilber33 Posted March 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Bump. No one has a parts e30 sitting around. 😔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris3 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Well, it's an E30 hungry group around here. Either the cars are bought pretty, slighty sad ones are rescued from years of PO abuse and rebuilt, or if an e30 is bought/relegated to parts status it's quickly picked clean by our friendly group of WI Bimmers "vultures". Sorry no connectors. m42b32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HipMF Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 @GunMetalGrey tried to give me a couple delapidated engine harnesses. I'm sure you could have one of the coolant sensor plugs if it still has one... or is that a chassis harness thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically I need to find a parts car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
