No, just Siemens. M54’s only ever used a Siemens engine management system, not Bosch.

M54’s have a vacuum hose to the fuel filter. If that’s split or leaking you will have EML and running problems. The hose runs to the intake bellows.

The same thing happens to E46 saloon rear light plugs - the earth connection isn’t good enough. A second earth wire fixes it.

Fire some WD40 behind the caliper dust seal and exercise the piston. All the way in, out again etc a few times. That frees them up. It may be a brake hose healing up inside. If it bleeds fluid through ok then it’s alright.

Sounds intriguing.

I quite like train travel - if only it was vastly cheaper.

Ah……cheap.


2.2 2.5 and 3.0 engines are all the same weight but keep an eye on the dipstick as 2.2’s absolutely gallop through oil.
200 miles to a litre is not unknown.

Oh.

2.2.

FFS buy a proper one.

You should be looking for nice stuff to improve though. There are still enough saveable 3 door GTI’s about that aren’t like the Titanic underneath.

Is this thing worth all this aggro?
