***UPDATE*** Hard all the hard pipes from the intercooler custom made, refitted it all... No squeel. Absolutely insane, 7 months not being able to go above 2k rpm because of this embarrasing squeel... My pipe taken off is all completely fine (obviously it's just metal). Same diameter pipework...

Made sense, thank you... Got it straight back on stands, even with the arm jacked up I couldn't release the bolt either side, proper tight and rusted on, bit gutted seemed easy enough. And spent a good hour or so trying. I clocked my drivers rear wheel is sticking out a touch further than the...

Thank you! Is it the bolt I've circled in the attachment? (Sorry zero mechanical knowledge I just love having a go)

This morning thought I'd raise the rear end of my car, but the whole thing spins when I turn the adjuster with the spanner? Any ideas, did the same with the front, worked a dream... why don't my rears want to adjust. Tried gripping the black thread but can't get enough on it to stop it spinning.

Ok so the offending screw sheared itself out now I don't have any rubbing... unless the kids are in the back but I am going to raise it anyway. Strange it was only on one side, for some reason my rear driver wheel sticks out further than my passenger. No spacers same ET42 wheels :/

Cheers buddy... Think I'm going to go for removing the screw and trimming back some of the felt liner.

Hi guys after some advice... So I got new alloys as I smashed a pot hole and buckled my rotas... 19 inch, ET42 from ET45 rotas I had on, same coilover set up and size tyres, no spacers. But now I'm rubbing like crazy, any little bumps, acceleration, corners... Recommendations welcome... Roll...

Annoyingly it's just a plain black case, no sticker on the outside or inside

Log book says BMN 03G 103 308C, I got this number off the cylinder head but typical both BKD and BMN share this part. Any other ideas how I can be 100% sure? Thanks

Hi Chris, Surely it's a BMN then as per factory, as that cover doesn't cross over with any other engine. Hmmm, it was a reputable garage I took it too with some boost leaks who told me it was a different engine but I cannot remember which one they said and they have no record either... I will...

Hi guys, Need some help with what engine I've got... My car had an engine swap before my ownership, I believe its not the same code engine but I am not sure and need to find out. The sticker in my boot says its a BMN engine 170 bhp 2.0tdi. I believe it may have had a BKD 140 swap. Is there...

2008 model with 76k miles

Bit of an update... Started the process on the return so I do need to fetch the chinese blower motor out. This morning started the ignition... Nothing... but playing will the climate controls, different vents etc I could hear the motor making a noise like it was trying to do something. I...

Thanks for this appreciate it! I'll buy one of them links tonight and just return this chinese one, atleast then if I have issues I'll know it isn't the blower motor and I've saved some money, or you've saved me money... Cheers! I'll update this thread once I've ran it for a while, if anyone...

That code on ebay brings up my 90 quid one first haha! I may just get a used valeo as suggested for the price, and I'm still in 30 days on this aftermarket one. I showhow think I have another issue with he connector or something though.
