    Bigger Turbo???

    ***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...

    Raising rear AP Coilovers

    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)

    Raising rear AP Coilovers

    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.

    Scraping Rear Arch Liner

    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 :/

    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...

    Engine code location

    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

    Engine code location

    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...

    Engine code location

    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...

    So when you push it up, spin and it clicks into place... Spin it further through, right?

    Blower Motor

    Cheers, I dont see what else could go wrong, so must be a new faulty unit I guess. I'm within 30 days so I think i might just send this one back and try another new one. ****** annoying in this weather, good luck to me getting home later!

    Blower Motor

I took the glove box apart, took the motor out and plugged back in.. it worked... then stopped upon next start up. I left the glove box off whilst I ordered a complete new part, gave it a kick to get...
