Sorry I see its the filter only was changed not pump and filter , filter wont be faulty cheap or not but if replacing the pump id replace filter too as metal swarf might make its way out of the pump and into filter. I've had inline pump failure on a 330d , same engine and setuo etc and just before i...

2.1 is far too low should be 3.5 to 4 bar from memory but as said injector leakoff could be the issue if the inline pump has already been changed .you want to get a leak off test done or smooth running test to see how they compare .

245 fronts are not correct is that a typo ? it should be 275/40/20, Oh and welcome

I actually noticed in the motor factors the box had been opened before which made me more keen ask to look inside but it was one of those days yesterday where anything could go wrong did go wrong and with no car I had to beg a lift into town so was double checking and just as well.

In the UK the coolant or certainly the replacement stuff we get should I think be pink, blue here is short life coolant (2 years rather than 5) .It may be different were you are though. I'd say an aluminium pan would make zero difference and id stick with oe spec plastic. The oil cooler does the coo...

I wouldn't be leaving the seller to clear the finance you are putting yourself at risk, it doesn't sound that great plenty more out there

Id agree reject it if you can as time is running out , the longer you leave it the harder it will be , not your problem , having just experienced turbo failure this week on my old passat I can confirm it fills the exhaust with a lot of oil and a smokescreen James bond would be proud off , took 2 pin...

I just did 1 and its been fine a year later passenger ones tend to take more of a hammering with potholes .

My x5 is up for renewal soon and my current insurer has sent me a nice letter stating they will no longer cover me or quote again after the policy expires! Getting some OK quotes and many mad ones lol 9k anyone? :rofl: Perhaps crazier is windscreen cover isn't even an option on some comprehensive po...

Top effort enjoy your well earned beer

Disconnect battery don't be taking any chances an airbag will take your head off if you are near it when it deploys accidently .
