Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI & 2004 BMW Z4 2.2

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...

Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI & 2004 BMW Z4 2.2

Useful to know for next time. I've ordered a caliper this morning already.

Pipe I'm hoping is going to be okay otherwise it'll be replacing brake pipe and very rusty ferrules job. Otherwise I'd ordered a new pipe for it too.

Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI & 2004 BMW Z4 2.2

Okay so I've been doing a bit of double checking on caliper part numbers. The caliper pair I linked earlier are not for this. Those are bigger and only fit the 2.5si and 3.0i/3.0si. This 2.2 has the same as the 2.0 and 2.5i, which are more expensive. I think this is correct based on the part numbers...

This evening I had a few hours to put these new rear pads in.  Apart from the E320, pretty much every car I've bought in the last year had its rear or front end in the air soon after I've bought it. 🤣 https://autoshite.com/uploads/monthly_2024_04/PXL_20240414_165208207.jpg.e85e992d02ec72cac3be9c7073...

Tbh I probably could have added 20-30% over here and it'd still have sold. Big ULEZ/CAZ compliant estates that aren't much newer are rare. Especially ones that aren't shagged out from being workhorses.

Gone. Sold to a AS forum frequenter.
Will be one of the cars that I miss.

I've owned numerous Hondas. Always thought about buying a HDS knock-off (Honda Diagnostic System for those don't know - dealer tool) but never actually needed one...

If it was Renault engineered, you could slap in a replacement module without needing to code or reflash the bastard. Probably wouldn't even need to go as far as clear the codes to extinguish the warning light either. Plug in and all fixed.

Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI & 2004 BMW Z4 2.2

Yeah that's the only one I can find. However it's like £20 more than I wanted to pay really. No guarantee these modules will work and I'd rather have it from a car that is known to not been scrapped because it's airbag light was on.
