  • Hi Vas

    Just looking at some of your PicĀ“s I see you still run with original wastegate... So I imagine it works well still for you..... have you done any service work to it ? as I am looking at serving and fitting mine again going back towards going back to a more factory look

    Thanks

    • I have. I had a new piston fitted and checked a few years back. Unfortunately the shop who fitted it did not check the tolerances correctly and at some point it got to stick and work erratically. Once that was rectified it's been fine since.

      With the mac valve operating on both chambers it's been very good

      Marc at efi express has a replacement piston if you like.

        What do you mean by piston ? they have a valve & diaphragm... what was worryng me was play between valve and glide...

            • New mushroom filter, ordered new front corner lights and fogs.
              Mine are ok, but their main attachments are broken. Probably will put them on sale once I get the new ones.

              • Webasto hollandia 700 sunroof done!

                Very professional job. Gave them a few headaches with the decompensating roof skeleton they had to work with.
                It would be an idea to be able to have a spare for future reference. It's one of those things that you can't do without

                • Outside view.
                  It will sit a bit lower in a month, or I'll have to adjust it a bit

                  • That's a lovely upgrade! I wish the OEM one was glass too.

                      would be possible to find p/n of this idle valve ? or at least on which model it is used originally ?

                      • Damn I thought I had it but I don't. They only told me on the phone so don't have it somewhere written

                        • Did quick research and:
                          Officially OEM VAG 034133455B canceled since 01.11.2013 already but it is still available as Bosch 0280140512

                          By the look yours is Bosch 0280140529 and it comes from BMW
