  1. Thereafter, he can attach a larger turbo.
  2. Swapping out the engine with the 30lt is less expensive and simpler.
  3. Did you ask about going up there to see it yourself? Usually if a company has nothing to hide they won’t have an issue with you viewing or even collecting in person If they try to dodge that question, that’s when I’d start worrying
  4. Here we have 17-inch wheels with plenty of tires. What exactly is a pothole? (Since I don't have a Mini Cooper like Ms. Cooper's, I don't know anything about that...)
  5. As soon as I get a new car, whether it's a front or rear-mounted one, I remove the plinth and attach the plate to the bumper using extra-strong 3m or something similar to hide the mounting screws. The removal of those unsightly plastic pieces always makes a car seem better, in my opinion. Important Notice! The front plate on my current car is held on by two screws. The tape wasn't able to adhere the hard perspex plate well enough to follow the curves of the bumper, but at least the plinths are gone!
  6. Presumably purchased from a dealer? If that's the case, the Consumer Rights Act will pay for repairs for up to six months after the purchase, when the defect was first noticed. The validity of whatever warranty you may possess is moot. It is the dealer's responsibility to either fix it or give you your money back
  7. Surprisingly, there is no database for fault codes. Was Star /Xentry the tool the specialist was utilising?
  8. I see what you mean about how close the throttle body is to the oil filter. This post was born out of my anxiety, but I've calmed down now that I have the donor vehicle's VIN: WBAUR32030VL28468. Based on my research on Realoem, it appears to be the same setup.
  9. I've placed an eBay harness order, but I can't shake the feeling that there might be some subtle discrepancies. This 2009 320d [E90 with N47 engine, model code PN32] is the vehicle in question. This 2012 120d [E82 with N47 engine, model code UR32] gives us the harness that we need. The original harness (the one that attaches to the main plastic box between the rocker cover and intake manifold) has the number 850720902, whereas the donor harness (also with the number 1251 850 7209) has the number 850720903. When it comes to both automobiles, RealOEM just gives you an 11-digit number without the 02 or 03 suffix and says it's the right part number. Is anyone aware of any major distinction between the two?
  10. Thank you once more; I am almost there.
  11. Is there anyone who can provide some useful guidance regarding fuel efficiency?

    The hue is great for your car, my friend. The armrest gets dirty fast, so you might want to invest in a cover.
