I felt the sound was coming from like it's right behind the dash and below.

That is 100% the hangers mate. Exactly the same issue as me. easy to fix :happy2: :happy2:

You liking the EMP exhaust?

I literally couldn't wait to get mine off from the moment I had it fitted. Sounded rubbish in my opinion, nothing but drone!


Car looks sweet, i may see it as im heading down to R-Tech Tomorrow for Stage 2!  :grin:

Sweet, at first I thought it was a gearbox issue as I had my doubts about it from something else. Such a relief as I came to that conclusion without knowing what you and Alex said so that's one less thing to worry about.

That's a shame to hear (no pun intended), mine will change a bit when the boost gets turned up but I'm very happy so far. Exhausts are a pain because you can't really trial fit like wheels you just have to hope for the best.

Oh nice you will see her then. Just don't look as it's a state inside and out lol, been bottom priority for a while poor thing.

Hope your map goes well and I'm sure it'll make great numbers   :happy2:

Just a quick query;
What kind of money is normal to pay for a CDL or BWJ motor??
Just had a quick look on Ebay there and they're around the 2 to 2.5K mark!!
Surely they're not that expensive :confused: :confused:

The BWJ and CDL are not the same, so they will have different price tags. Here is the engine code in order of strength*

AXX
BWA
BYD/BWJ
BHZ
CDL

CDL being the strongest commands a price tag of around £2000-£2500.

I wouldn't expect that a BWJ to be near that unless very low mileage etc.

*There are some discrepancies, such as the AXX having stonger pistons then the BWA engines

Good stuff. That's definitely a notch up from the old hybrid. Bet you're a bit excited about getting it back!!

Woah - some very strong numbers there! Bet you're pleased with that result!

Definitely need to see this in person when you've got the car back! It might even convince me to get the ED30 mapped at last...!
