Thanks for offer @TAABVW but I'm sorted for now 👍🏻

All sorted, whacked on the starter motor that I had actually bought for the other BHC TDI, as @dj_efk said, fitted onto my ATL with no problems.

Hi Robin, the cable had been removed and refitted but I wouldn't say it made any difference… possibly the connection points or cable itself could be still be faulty.

Ahh, okay thanks for highlighting. We've got a 2005 BHC TDI here and I picked up what I thought was a correct to engine code starter for that car from member @Swalsey aka Antony… so I'll offer that up and like you say, might be a direct fit. Anyone second that who is familiar with TDI starters…...

Morning folks. I've been having some starting issues with my 2004 TDI90 and I had put a call out for a used starter in the 'wanted' as I wasn't 100% it was the starter itself. This morning however it was really struggling and I can see quite a lot of smoke from the body of the starter. It's...

Sounds like a smart move to lose the ultra budgets. I've been tyre shopping lately and prices have gone up notably I think, even just from a year ago. Like everything else I guess... Good luck getting a good deal on a full set of branded boots. Kennedy

Nice one yep that's it, thanks for your help chaps - saved me removing the undertray on this particularly hot day!

Thanks Clackers, I just know it's a single bent wire support... I've been looking at some low quality pics on Google and actually it might be supporting the coolant hose going along the front edge of the sump... does that sound about right to any experts/TDI90 owners? Still looking online to...

I'm putting a small list together of second hand bits I need for our TDI's. Without jacking up my car and removing undertray to look, I know there is a broken wire hook style bracket bolted to/near the sump at the front which supports a hose. So I ask for the right thing, can members tell me if...

Hi, yes I can report our mats turned up at the weekend – I didn't realise I was one of the first to receive them! - I opted not to go for the club logos as the mats were for my wifes car...so simple was a better option this time for me. It's a nice enough TDI75 which looks like this... But...

Hi Tom, I've also sent you a PM so just signposting that in case you've missed it... (it's actually a response to a converstion we had going anyway so that might be why)... It is something other than me getting both my cars to Leighton Buzzard but it does relate to the trip. Thanks. Kennedy.

Real outside chance of being able to set anything up for this but thought I'd put the feelers out. I've been trying to set up a deal on some freshly painted 17" replica Le Mans wheels (wheels only) that are in Bromley but I'm up here in Coventry... they're just on the wrong side of London for...

Hi all, I've had a very quick dash through this thread... am I right in thinking it's not too late to get added to the list for some lovely new mats?! Looks like a lot of work has gone into organising this. Kennedy.

Hi, Thanks for checking up ;) My update is I'm not 100% sure of what is causing the knock. However, with everything else pretty much checked or ran through, I think it is probable it will be topmount/suspension related. Since the conversation above I've even had the car on a ramp which was...

Thanks for all comments, I appreciate the help. I'll feedback once I'm clearer on what it could be.

Nice one for the breakdown of points, a few easy things to try before I do anything too drastic. Point 2 I did try, putting in gear with handbrake on and dabbing clutch... I did it quite a few times and got just a couple of little knocks – but not every time... could be part of the problem so...

I didn't even think about the bonnet potentially being a source of knocking, but I'll be sure to check that later. With regards the top nut on the struts I know the access is very limited, I remember swearing quite a bit doing that corner on my TDI90 when my coilovers went on!... Thanks for...

Thanks Steve, the suspension is definitely tired on this one and I don't like the way it sits on one corner at the back either... if it is top mount/s then it might be the push I need to do suspension all round on it! I'll give the struts a good wrestle later and see if I can see/feel anything...

After replacing a few worn and tired parts up front on my wife's TDI it still seems to have a very audible knocking sound when driving it. The knocking is particularly noticeable on bumpy roads (as you would expect) mainly to front near side... the sound is also there when coasting so feels like...

Hey, a bit late to the party but I would like to be included please! - great idea. Kennedy.
