Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI & 2004 BMW Z4 2.2
That airbag light. https://autoshite.com/uploads/monthly_2024_04/PXL_20240419_185140190.jpg.a4082ec39bb6eb891e7f7f987cc08567.jpg Programming the module was a massive pain. The steps aren't clear on what to do to actually flash it, not helped being in German. So ended up thinking it was flashed so ca...

Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI & 2004 BMW Z4 2.2
The same thing happens to E46 saloon rear light plugs - the earth connection isn’t good enough. A second earth wire fixes it. It's the crimp that goes to the black with green tracer wire that is damaged. The brown, apart from the marks on the wire is fine. Iirc brown is negative/ground on standard ...

Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI & 2004 BMW Z4 2.2
Slapped the new nearside caliper on. Quality is definitely not as good but it fits and seems to work fine. Drag feels the same on both sides. Bled the rear brakes on both sides for good luck. Fluid seemed pretty clean - I think because the rear lines have been replaced at some point recently. Fluid ...

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
I suppose you can now say the car has a V12 in it. I'm always suspicious of quality of electrical installation when I see aftermarket audio installs. At least it's Alpine in there being decent aftermarket audio brand. Nowadays it'd likely be some cheap arse generic Chinese brand from Amazon that lie...

Re: Y2k Jag XJ8
Ime on those bulbs, once one blows others are due to blow soon after. The shock of removing the cluster can kill the other marginal bulbs.
Plus old bulbs are dimmer and it's obvious especially with backlight bulbs when only some have changed.

Re: What did you do today?
Brake caliper and airbag module for the Z4 only arrived today despite supposed to being here yesterday. Today is a gym day so I haven't had much spare time to do much on it. However I stuffed the left airbag module into the car to see if the car could talk to it. Yes is the answer. This is good as i...

Re: What did you do today?
Realised why I don’t like VAG shit and rarely entertain it. Daughter No3 ‘s TT again, this time it broke down in Cambridge on Sunday . 11hours for the RAC to recover it 50 miles and diagnose a broken injector, my man Waseem put 4 new plugs and one coil pack in it and it’s right as rain. Of course s...

Re: EBay Finds
Awfully tempted. But a combination of needing another project like a hole in the head and no Ceri to do reliable transport means I shouldn't.

Re: What did you do today?
Depends how rusted that retaining nut is. But then you have a MAP torch. Will need an alignment afterwards.

Do you have any experience in reflashing BMW airbag modules or anything else like that to change the VIN? Was going to follow this document: https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwixnfTJl47jAhXfUhUIHdzMDyAQFjAAegQIA...
