Thanks Rob. Alternator is off the car! (what a job!!) brushes are worn right down - only to be expected I suppose as car has covered 203000 miles. I will chase up replacement tomorrow.
Hi Guys, The alternator on my facelift 2.5 td elite has stopped charging and I need to remove it from the car. 1. Is there a 'how to' anywhere? 2. Does anybody have any special tips? 3. Can anybody supply part nos for:- diode pack & regulator pack.
There are two sensors, one on each front wheel. They usually break on dis-assembly! Replacements are available from Eurocar parts - Part no 106720128 @ about £10 each. HTH
Hi Guys, Does anybody know if you can get replacement buttons for the climate control panel on a facelift Elite.Several of mine are badly worn and need changing. TIA Old Fella
Firstline FWP 1588 Bmw water pump, obtained from SES Ltd. I fitted this 3 years ago and its been absolutely fine. I run without the viscous fan fitted! HTH
Hi Guys, I'm looking to carry out some checks on the turbo & charge air system of my F/L 2.5 TD estate!
1 Where is the best point to tap into, to check the turbo output pressure, and what pressure ( psi ) would you expect to read on a standard turbo in good condition?
2 What pressure would you expect to read at the inlet manifold of a charge system in good condition? ( With the EGR system blanked off )
