I mean its the easily visually checked item so why skip changing the filters!! Looks like an oil change should be on the cards ASAP !

michelin Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 I too fitted BMC's to mine a couple of years ago and the existing filter were in awful condition. I use OPC for servicing so the BMC sticker is clearly visible so they don't change them for stock filters! It takes a little dismantling to get to these filters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe they were changed and if the invoice says otherwise I'd take that as a good reason to give them a wide berth. If that's indeed the case then it goes to show how inherently dishonest & immoral some outfits are..

Paul P Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) paper filters get dirty quickly bare in mind that the dirt on the filter is what it stopped going into the engine. If you pulled one after 6 months and it was clean and fresh then it isn’t working Have they got a manufacture date on them ?

Justchris Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 Fitted the Isudar Android Auto to my PCM 3.1 today. No external box required with this one, so a little cleaner to install than some other options. Have to say I'm really impressed so far, full wireless Adroid Auto with my Samsung S20FE, I didn't even fit the USB cable or mic as it seems to work fine with the original inbuilt ones!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolfgjp Posted November 20, 2021 Report Share Posted November 20, 2021 Looks great and sounds ideal, how much was the kit and how long did it take to fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was approx €280 delivered to the UK. Took me about 20minutes to get the PCM out and onto the kitchen table. About an hour to open it up, add the new PCB, internal cables, route out the ones that needed to come outside, and re assemble. Then another 30 minutes or so to plug into car and test, then refit. So all in less than 2 hours I'd say. I must add I'd watched numerous videos on opening and adding various options before attempting. The supplied user and installation guide was no use whatsoever 🤯 Is it worth the money, only time will tell, but so far I'm happy 😁 Withy (maybe 🥴) was the one who pointed me in the direction of this one. He's had another type and suggested that this was simpler and maybe a little better. Search android auto for my post, and that contains his link to his post 👍🏻 Edited November 20, 2021 by Justchris 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patt Posted November 22, 2021 Report Share Posted November 22, 2021 Got taken out on a roundabout by a 450h driving across two lanes without looking or indicating.

Withy Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 Got the aircon regassed at local Kwik Fit. Was kinda expecting them to find a leak but came back thumbs up and since I have the Zunsport grilles on, I hope all ok for a while. Freezing cold aircon now, just what I need for a Scottish winter!

Desiro Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 Had PSE fitted at RPM Specialist Cars in Knaresborough. It's been on order since August, so took a while for the parts to come in! I must say, it sounded great on the short blast when they brought it back😁 Just to add, I did not buy the sports tips, as the original stainless ones were in great fettle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATM Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 Fitted a new battery to the key. Cost £9 for a pack of 4 from Asda. Which yes feels like Highway robbery but when you decide you need a battery right now there isn't many choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saving was up to £500 depending on which OPC you speak to, so well worth having. The service I've had from RPM so far, has been the best ever. highly recommended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patt Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Part numbers, costs? I presume form OPC too?
