Does this only affect the bkp engine or does it also affect BMR

Hi Shane,

Thanks for the reply that’s what I’d found too mainly that they fail and that’s it, nothing in between, I might give the switch a swap and see if it cures the fault.

Is there a way to test the switch off the car? I understand it’s electronic so maybe not possible

As suggested above I can’t find any information on this topic other that it staying on and not releasing at all.

Can anyone offer any more useful advice ?

As above really I have an intermittent fault where by when pulling away on either a hill or flat the handbrake stays on and the car squats down, at first I though I was in wrong gear but it has happened a few times since. Taking it out of gear and trying again seems to do the trick, As said this is ...

I’ve only had the car a year and it had the recall for injectors done 6-7 years ago and I’ve just had to replace another so the do fail again, my car is on 91k. But I might just be unlucky. In Effect mine has had 3 injectors in one of the cylinder

Hopefully someone will comment to let me know of any issues.

And I await a response from the supplier

I have this model and the inlet manifold is another problem area, I’ve needed new springs all round, rear calliper, an injector as well as a timing belt and service etc. Not been a cheap year.

Rust on arches and tailgate is common too

Hi thanks for the link, I think I’ll do the conversion mainly due to the cost, do you happen to know what modifications are need to the vacuum system and engine cover as stated in the item description?

Hi I will update it, it’s. 2007 BMR sport tdi estate

Can anyone advice where to buy one I can’t find prices online, or is it best to upgrade to the aluminium version?

Hi guys my car is factory tinted but looking for something more to keep the back cooler.
Does anyone know of a supplier for only the rear door shades as the dogs are in the boot and would rip them down.

I’m lookin for the exact fitting shades and do you guys know if they are crash tested?

Hi guys just had to have number 2 injector replaced, however my car did have the recall 7 years ago, how long should an injector last and should I be expecting to replace the others soon?

Yeah I messed up this time and have been lazy with my checks.

Is 12000 miles about average before needing a top up, first time I've needed to do it so just ensuring there isn't an issue

My engine light has came on for the first time since it was serviced approximately 12000 miles ago, it's currently on the long life service regime which I'm going to change when the next service isn't due. Firstly is that amount of mileage normal before needing a top up? Also is it best to get the o...

I think it will be simply that I need to make the hole slightly oversized so that it fits easier as currently the hole is exactly as they specify

The brink system comes with a hatch which fits into a cutout that I had to make. Is not like the westfalia system which requires the new bumper

Any advice guys? I can't be the only one with one of these fitted to my b6 estate

Hey guys fitted my new detachable towbar today, I have one problem where the cut-out hatch doesn't seem to fit fully flush on the shorter edges, I think because the bumper is curved and the cut out is flat. Does anyone who has this towbar fitted please post up some photos so I can compare my install...

Hello, this thread has been a long time coming however, I am fitting my brink detachable towbar tomorrow with dedicated 13pin electrics, I am looking for some hints and tips on the best approach for removing the interior trims which I need to remove, from the drawings it seems to be both sides of th...

I've had the underboost fault in mine just had it sorted and it was a split in the swirl flap actuator. New part fitted and car is much better and feels like it should. Worth checking with a vacuum gauge it should move under vacuum. £120 fitted

That's great news so hopefully I won't have to go to the dealers then

Hey guys I've bought the brink detachable towbar with full 13 pin electrics, I will need it programming so that the ESP works for the trailer and also deactivates my rear sensors when connected. Does anyone else know what functions are available? I've heard car alarm will activate if the trailer is ...

Hi tfsbjs for the reply I've just checked my instructions and it needs to do 45Nm and 110Nm reason for wanting 3/8 is because I've got that size sucker set but I may have to just buy what I need for this project

Can anyone recommend me a decent quality 3/8 torque wrench which I can use for fitting my towbar.

Needs to be able to work from 45nm up to 150nm I think
