Hi all, iv been on and off a few times since owning my car. Mainly for peoples guidance. I'm not usually an active forum person as I'm always busy at work or messing with motors.
So here goes:
I'm Jay, 38, living in Birmingham. I recently changed my car from a 2006 535d m sport to an 2009 A3 1.9tdi convertible. Iv had no regret making the change. As good as the bmw is in every way it was wasted doing 5 minute journeys to work. So in my wisdom to replace it I had to have a convertible and something smaller and cheaper to run. The A3 was a great choice.
Cured a few faults like a split boost pipe seal, and recabled the passenger window regulator.
Fitted the new grill and a new set of wheels. It's in for a remap today as it's it's bit embarrassing when I say it's a 1.9tdi, then whispering and coughing as I say it's 103bhp. Haha.
Iv been a mechanic for a long time and only in the last 2 years I decided to invest in a snap-on diagnostics laptop to fix friends and families modern cars. Iv recently left a truck mechanic position of 4 years to further my engineering knowledge in fabrication and metal work. I own a small unit in Walsall where I keep my mk5 escort cabriolet. Anyway that's me, hopefully a message ping will wake you all up. Jay
