Put the screwdriver or any long metal instrument in different locations to see if u can narrow down the noise generally noises you can pin point them to a certain location or so I can at work, even before the chassis ears go on it. Does it do it on idle and no gear or just when its in a drive...

If the noise is there on idle whilst stationary, then why not get the screwdriver on the vehicle and put it to your ear until you can narrow down the noise, that's how we find noises at work but we use a dedication chassis ear thingy.

Put a little bit of heat into it and twist and bang it will come out. It's naughty to heat them up but needs must sometimes.

The steering box can be adjusted, but making it too tight will cause more damage. As far as I'm aware hubs and drive shafts are all the same only difference I think are the 2 and 4 pin diff but they all have the same spline pattern as a 4 pin will fit a 2 pin and vise versa.

On the top of engine near the intercooler intake pipes there is two of them try swapping them over seen if the fault swaps to the other bank but that won't cause black smoke

If the egr was faulty it can cause rough idle. Does your diagnosis machine show you live readings on the egr.

Generally on these engines it is the top hoses, which normally split. Make sure the jubilee clips are really tight as these will tend to sweat if not tight enough. If I remember right there is two map sensor make sure they are clean and connected. If it has a extended warranty and from a main...

There will be a upstream and downstream sensors to measure pressure difference to judge on how full the dpf is and when to regenerate it. It will have to be erased from the ecu by reflashing it. Seen as it is a fairly new car and the systems are interlinked etc it could be a challenge but it...

I've had this problem and it was the fuel pump replaced at 600 notes and it been great since

There is a bulletin on fuel tank reading error and you have to open tank and cut out connectors and put a bullet connector, now if you car has had this bulletin carried out there is a chance that a wire has been caught and not allowing the sender arm full travel. Also if you check the resistance...

That's what I thought I have checked for feed out and I'm not getting it at becm or at flap, it seems I've checked it all apart from the key in message voltage il get that done but it's looking more and more becm

So when I check the live at the switch and press the switch I shuld see it change from battery voltage to zero because this is what I'm seeing. Is that correct?

Will check that thanks, it used to work and then became temperamental and then packed up all together I first thought switch but that is ok. And yes it did work with key in ignition off.

It's a dse and I do have all the tools to do the job, what other suggestions on possible causes why it doesn't work and il happily check them. Im assuming the becm uses the key out message to obtain the release code to enable the fuel flap to work. I don't get the key in message on dash, and the...

I checked the fuse and the fuse connection ie where the fuse plugs in but I was short of time and there was no way I was pulling that fat kid with his fingers in all the pies under the seat out today. What's it like pulling the becm and stripping it down to find the problem?

I would hope I know that I've had the p38 for nearly 4 yrs ;-)

So the story begins Fuel flap worked then stopped traced to the actuator replace all working well. 12 months later, intermittently working, then stops all together. Checked the actuator with a feed and earth all ok. Checked switch all ok Disconnected whole system checked for resistance on...

Lower arm bushes wear Wheel bearing wear Park brake fails due to incorrectly adjusted shoes or seized pivots Arc bars leak both front and rear D bushes wear Rear upper arm bushes wear Air compressors wear check for the updated amk version Egrs are prone to failing Alternator going and taking...

I've replaced these not on my own car mind you, I dint use the alignment tool as the adjuster was seized solid, because I used genuine ball joints and refitted it all with a new seal, and 5 thousand miles on it is still leak free. Mine are going and will need doing this year which I'm not...
