What's the other oil they rave about in the US of A, it's a diesel oil I think ??

Lols 👍 Im very needy 🤗

....or not...

You should be absolutely fine with that particular mapper !, I won't go into details, just saying reasearch mappers very very well before you have any work done

Hmmm them fly eye rear lights look nice........

Get someone to stand behind the car as you boot it off through gears from a standing start and see what's coming out the exhaust, you won't notice it "burning" oil at speed as your travelling and it's being dispersed very quickly

I don't buy it.... I reckon my "custom scoop" will flow more lol

This is ready for its remap at surrey rolling road in the next month pick your mapper VERY wisely

@Tidgy

Oh, that could throw a spanner in the works being auto, may be a torque converter problem, maybe try a gearbox oil change or put some conditioner in it, how many miles has it done

If it's same speed as linx said, after all the checks you've had done, I would look at tyres being overinflated or knackerd shock/s

Your gonna have trouble with that new smaller filter mate, I put one on my car, the filter sits a lot higher in the tank and I was getting fuel starvation issues at about a quarter of a tank if I booted it, if you don't run your car down that far you'll be ok

Is this all years/models, I presume ours are affected ? Do they defo change them for alloy or just renew with steel

Best I get mine looked at as they are steel, they look pretty strong tho 😳

Now "THAT" is an introduction 👍 Welcome aboard 😁

Had to...... 🙈🤣🤣

No mate, straight up...... bare ! 😂

So I know about the airbag situation as I keep getting letters, what's the lower arm business ??

@stants All good mate 👍 Once I chopped of that extra bit on the top and painted the tops to match the fade on my rims I thought they looked good

Do you have an alarm/immobiliser that could be playing up, could be crank or maybe camshaft sensor ? (I don't know if moody cam sensor would stop it running), maybe pop a fuel hose off to make sure your defo getting fuel, and obviously check cam belt for proper tension and to make sure it hasn't skipped any teeth

A lot of the time you just get a hairline crack in the head gasket between the cylinder and a waterway so you don't get any water/oil mixing, tbh if yours does turn out to be headgasket and not just an airlock working its way up then I would presume it is very early in its failure and probs best to address now

This is pretty much what the wife's 2.0d X3 was doing and pressurising the water system, that was head gasket, and also it's pretty much the same as my wrx is doing now although I have more frequent smaller bubbles and some presssure in the water hoses, and uses a little bit of water, I put some kseal in it and it's not gotten any worse over a couple of months, just gonna nurse it along until I get the other engine finished, but I presume it is head gasket

We have a mobile fitter com round and take the glass out, then when works done, they come back and glue it in for £50 maybe that would be a better option ? to ring round a few to see if they would and how much

Ideally like this 🤣
