You can still make it recirc by pressing "manual" - I know because my AQS is faulty too so I took it off to hoover it and tried the manual button a few times to ensure the flap closed. My afterblow...

Starter motor. It's drawing to much current on cranking which means the ECU thinks there is an electrical fault - always throws a crank position code and sends the rev counter all over the place as...

Same pads and calipers for 316, 320 and 336mm discs.

noise vibration and harshness

I liked my TTV/Kalmar flywheel. More rattle from the transmission at idle and more transmission NVH under load relative to a DMF but otherwise all positive. If increased NVH is not an option then I...

Sweet.

Hub is aluminium and easy to drill. However, the steering deflectors are steel and I blunted several expensive 14mm bits before taking them to friend who used a very slow pillar drill which just...

I have 320's under my amaltheas and 336mm XC90 carriers ready for when they next need changing. Happy to send you the carriers if you want to try it (you will need the calipers obviously). Plod...

Agreed but if I can use it I reckon it's a cheap DIY tool.

I found this a few weeks ago while looking into manual transmission fluids. Could be a handy reference guide.

My VVT was out but it didn't take Tim long to resolve the problem. Quite a few get incorrectly set up and I'm not even sure that all main dealers can get it right. Symptoms can be subtle but...

Good effort chaps.

Have either of you sought the help of T5D5 and VOC on this issue - I'd recommend canvassing a wider audience as this is a small community and lots of the members on the other forums don't read/post...

Glad you got that fuel pump fixed Dave. I've been pleased with my DW300 and I have mistreated it. Seems quite robust.

Yes.

Check the pas fluid level and possibly flush it. Sounds like a bearing to me but there are several possibilities. Don't buy a gearbox (or anything else) until somebody has checked it. You have...

Further to the above - my diagnostic process tells me the stock bcs leaks at high boost at full duty. Taking some of the stress off the bcs with a boost restrictor works but makes boost control iffy....

Try finding a wide smooth downhill stretch and let it coast (clutch in) at around 50mph. Make some gentle swerves left and right to load up alternate wheel bearings and note if the sound is louder...

Does the noise rise with rpm or vehicle speed? I know it can be hard to tell. Vehicle speed - diff to wheel bearing. Rpm - gearbox and engine. If it is transmission related that is. You wouldn't...

Quick update - I fitted a yellow (9 psi) spring in my actuator and ran it with the 0.8mm restrictor. It still spikes on spool up but would not hold anywhere near as much boost as with the red (17.5...

1.2mm orifice gives 1.13 square mm cross section. This reduces volume of flow by 5 times. I'd try that (cautiously).

OK.. so I tested my statement and it's §§§§§§§§. I held it at WOT from 2000 rpm in 4th and at 3000 rpm it spiked to the almost the end of my 2 bar gauge. I say spike because it didn't stay there...

0.8mm and it sits in the line between the compressor housing and TCV. I think a larger one would offer better boost control but I haven't got around to trying. I'm happy with it as is. I never...

I would talk to Nigel Altiss - this sort of issue is right up his street. You could run it by Tim while you're there.
