How does the level control system work in a BMW?
Changes in ride height are detect- ed and the system is regulated to maintain the correct level. During prolonged dyna- mic movements during acceleration and braking, the level control system is disabled by an acceleration sensor (mercury switch) and brake light input to the hydraulic control unit.
Where is the self leveling system fluid marked?
The self-leveling system fluid type is always marked on the top of the hydraulic reservoir. Always use the correct fluid never mix with another fluid. When filling the system, be aware of the status of the level control system. If the vehicle is loaded, the level will appear to be low. Do not fill the system unless it is in the resting state.
When does the level control system get disabled?
During prolonged dyna- mic movements during acceleration and braking, the level control system is disabled by an acceleration sensor (mercury switch) and brake light input to the hydraulic control unit.
What should the engine temperature be on a cat 330?
If it is stuck on low, engine temperature WILL continue to rise. With a side radiator or a rear radiator with fan clutch, there should be a range of temperature that you see: Lower one is that dictated by the thermostat. From thermostat setting (say, 195 degrees F) to where the fan cuts to high SHOULD be 4-5 degrees.

How does the self leveling suspension system work?
The earlier system using the electro-hydraulic pump will not be dis- cussed. The self-leveling suspension system is designed to maintain vehicle ride height under loaded conditions. The system is fully hydraulic, utilizing a tandem oil pump to supply pressure to both the suspension system and power steering system.
