Presentation & questions 528i 1980
Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2025 4:49 pm
Hi all,
Since a few weeks the proud owner of a 528i. My dream came true after my dad bought a new 525 in 1978 I always wanted to own one. I was lucky, here in France I got my hands on a never restored, rustfree 528i for a fair amount. It's automatic, has AC (reare for Europe), central locking and the power windows. I had to solve quite some things though, central locking was not working, fixed. Blower blew fuse, fixed. Now I am having still some strange issues. Like, the windshield wipers can be activated without having the ignition on. I also struggled with the center console and some loose wires. I do have the workshop manual but I am not able to find the wiring diagram... I really need that badly... So if someone can help me out on this that would be great. I also ordered the Haynes manual but will take a few weeks to arrive. I already went to quite some topics, really helpful. I still have some issues like the heating not working. Strange because the valve opens & closes (no broken flector) and both hoses for the radiator are hot. I will have a lot of questions to you guys but I hoe somebody can help me out with a clear wiring diagram already. A picture of my car:
