  1. Yep that's the one as far as I can tell and seems to be the one linked as part no 7 ending in K... Brill thanks!!!
  2. BMM is a different layout:
  3. Oh **** I'm even more confused now... I've just been out with a torch and parts 9,11 and 13 resemble those going to the EGR and Throttle body. Parts 7, 6 and 4 resemble those from the turbo to the intercooler. I'm therefore thinking I need a 7 but @Tech1e says 13???? I thought 7 initially but then somehow managed to convince myself the image was reversed as it's completely different to the BMM in a 4x4... Looking from the front of the car the pipe goes from the turbo and snakes down to the bottom right of the intercooler and out of the top left of he intercooler horizontally back to the throttle body. So using @Wino logic it's Item 7 I'm therefore pretty convinced now it's 7 I want... No sign of part nos as the hose is covered in oil and carbon from the split (as is half the back of the engine compartment) but cleaning it up a bit I can see it's red - which matches those coming up in a search for item 7 ending in K. Search for item 13 and it looks like the hose going to the throttle body and they are all black... So 7... (I think?) - 3C0145828K
  4. Evening All, I have a split boost hose on my 2007 BMM 4x4 - the first hose from the turbo towards the intercooler. Looking at the 7zap site for part nos I'm being a bit thick and can;t decide whether I need item 7 or item 13... can any one confirm please as they are slightly different on one letter different and I have a feeling the diagram is a mirror image of reality: charge air cooler - Octavia(OCT) [EUROPA 2007 year] (7zap.com) My gut says item 7 but the image suggests 13 if reversed...
  5. Just trying to check the part number on 7zap: charge air cooler Skoda Octavia [Octavia (2004 - 2008)] (7zap.com) Can anyone confirm whether that image is reversed. I need the first pipe from the turbo to the intercooler which, if it is reversed, is 3C0145838D...
  6. Just managed to have a look at this and, although I'm now covered in black crap, have confirmed it's the same pipe that has gone again -small split at the back near the turbo... so given the cost to replace last time was stupid and the part is only about £40 I'll probably have a go myself
  7. Think I have the same issue again seven years on. No fault codes yes but a very distinctive wooshing noise and that same pipe looks to be quite oily. Just need to find the part number again now
  8. That would make it a BMN engine code which is EU4 so should pass even without the dpf as the limits were much less strict. So it sounds like its a visible weld or similar that's the issue unless the map is way off or you have something else amiss
  9. What year is it. If it's old enough it should still pass with the dpf off unless it is very obvious it's been tampered with which sounds like it might be the case
  10. Happy birthday everyone! And massive thanks to Colin for making it all possible.
  11. My understanding is that kevlar tanks have solved those issues...
  12. skomaz replied to Aspman's topic in The Technology Shed
    Same here - to the extent that my work colleagues asked the office manager to find me a quiet keyboard - they came up with a Microsoft 600 IIRC that seemed to be significantly quieter - until we moved offices and all had to go wireless...
  13. Actually looking again I reckon your right... Do away with the fog mesh things and the grille would probably be OK.
  14. Hmmm... Not great. The metalwork is actually ok it's just the crass bling that's nasty... it would be much better with a one colour paint job and different wheels... And a smaller grille
  15. My MIL picked up her 'new' car a few months ago (pre-reg Jazz and it came with well over half a tank of fuel... It may have been factored into the price but either way was the right gesture from the dealer.
  16. Just noticed the Honda Beat and Suzuki Cappucino in the pics - always liked those but they look even smaller these days given everything has grown over the years!
  17. Just on the design front I saw an image of the new i7 this weekend - looks like it's already been driven into a wall during the design phase.
  18. Interestingly some of the best and longest lasting wipers I've had, including Bosch ones, were from Aldi. They lasted longer and wiped better and quieter than anything else but I've not seen them for years
  19. That's somewhat different though as they are all linked and act as one, braking at the same time etc. With no reaction time. The two second rule is based on reaction time not stopping distance or time. Is the average driver takes 1.5seconds to react to an occurrence in front of them. The 2 second rule is based on that and adds a bit as a safety margin and to make it something easy to remember. Desirable Sight Stopping Distance for a vehicle at 70mph is actually 295m according to design standards and 215m at one step below. Most vehicles are capable of less though.
  20. It's switches the lights in the steering wheel buttons on and off when the headlights are on. So you can turn them off if they are distracting.
  21. Tell you what... Just make something up... That's what the 'lawyers' will do... Anyhow this thread is now giving the impression of trolling...
  22. Oh FFS... That attitude is one of the things that is wrong with the world these days. Once again WHY do you personally deserve compensation? You've already said you've experienced no impact at all, nor are you aware of any suffering you've experienced as a result of the issue. You are therefore simply 'trying it on' to get whatever financial gain you can with no good reason. Sorry but that is how it comes across and I'm not a fan of such behaviour - it stinks.
  23. Oooh - full update required once it arrives!
