Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2003 E320 & 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI
Fun* fact. The rear calipers on this are the same as the E46 and Rover 75/MG-ZT. Not sure why GSF don't stock them. I'm debating whether to be a skinflint by just replacing the one or just do both and be done with it. If I'm bleeding brakes after caliper replacement, I am bit tempted to do both. Don...

Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2003 E320 & 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI
I made the assumption above that these satellite sensor modules have both fibre optic comms and CAN (for diagnostics). However I've found this: https://www.unofficialbmw.com/images/09%20E85%20Adv%20Safety%20Electronics.pdf That details how the system works. The assumption is wrong. It does all comms...

To get to the left satellite B Pillar module, everyone online says you need to remove the seat and a whole load of plastic trim. Being a savage I figured most of that was unnecessary. Turns out I was correct. The foam is wet but not sodden. https://autoshite.com/uploads/monthly_2024_04/PXL_20240413...

This'll do. Hopefully
If it's the hedgehog then I'm going to need to contact breakers directly. Realoem shows one exists but I'm not 100%. Pelican parts guide on replacing this panel says almost always this panel that is the problem and not the hedgehog on the E85.

Which reminds me, I must do that passenger side recall one day. The Covid™ fucked all that up.

Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2003 E320 & 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI
Went to a local cars and coffee this morning. Some extremely nice tin on show - I'll put some photos up later. Anyway I glanced at that rear left. https://autoshite.com/uploads/monthly_2024_04/PXL_20240413_100830268.jpg.c11d1ef36eb9e275e28785223e39c1de.jpg Err yeah I've smoked that. Other side has ...

Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2003 E320 & 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI
I remember reading an article about the 10yr thing on airbags. When they were first used, that was the expected design life. However in reality they don't really degrade providing the enclosure the pyrotechnics they are in isn't damaged. That's why replacing airbags is no longer mentioned. Plus no o...

Yeah nah. I want to sort this properly. Airbags are a useful thing to have when it all goes a bit pear shaped.

Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2003 E320 & 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI
So firstly the car is great. I'm mega happy with it. Like any old car they give shenanigans. Especially old German Premium cars. Not least I do tend to go hunting for issues and finding stuff. What is there to do? Airbag light is on. I took a gamble buying this thinking it was just a loose seat conn...

Re: What did you do today?
Just had a letter from the current owner of my P4 after finding my name in the history. Has given me a load of questions to answer
I'm most glad it's gone to an owner who is going to restore it!
