I am talking about item 1

There is a fuel vent valve on the front right cylinder head (as you look at the engine) has an inlet and outlet pipe plus an electrical plug. The valve is cycled by the ECU to vent the tank fumes into the inlet manifold. Check one of those pipes isn’t disconnected from the valve or got holes. Also t...

Just to update as to what I’ve done so far, as the e46 has the same hedgehog I took it out and bunged it into the X, no joy. I then fitted the old X hedgehog into the e46, works fine as did the one I bought. So hedgehogs ruled out. In my frustration I thumped the top of the dash and uttered some cho...

Looking at the potential replacement fan from FEBI it is 210w so presumably similar wattage to what’s in there and capable of a quick burst of 12v

So in theory if I disconnect the a/c/ hvac unit (for safety) unplug the hedgehog and put 8/9v from a torch battery to pin 1 and 5 the the motor should spin. For added safety remove fuse 64 (50 amp)

The X671 I assume is the hedgehog that has 5 wires going in/out. The red has battery voltage brown is earth, can’t remember colours now but 1 moved between 0 fan off and 8v fan on full. I would be very reluctant to poke voltage at any of the wires to check if the fan runs. Looks like it’s dash out a...

Good point, but doesn’t that suggest there is a module controlling it and if so why does it not show up on diagnostics

Marked up Behr/Bosch made in Germany

Ok new resistor in and no change. There must be a way to put 12v to the blower to double check before dash out. Is there a relay for the motor. Have checked fuse and it’s ok.

Thanks guys, hopefully it will arrive tomorrow.

Yesterday I went to the x to find that my heater blower wasn’t working. No previous faults or hiccups and working perfect when I parked the previous night. Checked fuses and diagnostics tell me it’s getting voltage and shows percentage when the button is pressed up or down. I wasn’t aware that the h...

The pipe on either side which connects between the bag and accumulator may not be seated properly. I know you checked for leaks but if it can stay up for a week you may have checked during the time it’s behaving itself.

I would expect to get all HD stuff, it is after all the bushes that are HD and they should all be as advertised. After all you bought hd so you don’t have to visit that area for a long time.

Years ago I had a vibration including at idle, took the auxiliary belts off and no change, noticed what looked like oil on one of the engine mounts so changed them. Cured, I would mention that the one with oil was fine still stiff to move the the other one which looked fine was completely shot. I ch...

It’s a 4.6 ltr no turbo
