This is a result of using crimp terminals and untinned wire.
DC circuits attract atmospheric ions that provoke corrosion in the positive side of the circuit. This eventually causes the copper in stranded wire to develop surface corrosion, insulating each strand from its neighbours.

This is the correct way to bleed it officially, so must be done or you'll never get it right.

This is just an open query, and perhaps not enough to justify a thread but there may be opinions ..

Has anyone managed to reduce the noise level of an HDi, either by noise-absorbing material in the engine bay, or some kind of mod? Are some parts of the drivetrain particularly noise generating and amenable to silencing?

If just the idling noise...

I would start with the engine mounts. These can make a big difference in the noise department. I recently changed mine after two years of service and a lot of noise disappeared. I thought there was something wrong with the engine type of noise.

BSI software updated today. The only thing I noticed was I couldn’t lock or unlock the vehicle using the fob. Proximity lock/unlock worked ok. Quick call to the dealer who talked me through fob re initialisation and all is ok.

First post

Just fitted a towbar to the car to tow a small trailer.

The towbar came with a wiring kit which included relay for use when certain circuitry was installed on the car .

The relay supplied is a TEB7AS 7 Way Universal Relay including buzzer.
Is this a necessity on this vehicle or can I just install a buzzer for the indicators?

Last post

It is necessary because they specify that they take the lighting signals and covert this into a 12V feed for the trailer lighting so it doesn’t take power from the lighting circuit on the car. That is why it is there and requires a 15a fused supply.

Of course it does not support vehicle ESP systems with a special towing programme which your...

What is more important is to know whether your VCI (the hardware that plugs into the OBD socket) is full chip and has Rev C chip firmware. Also, what software are you using? Lexia is probably too old even for a 2009 X7 and you need Diagbox. What version of Diagbox are you running?

Sounds a bit sketchy, i'm guessing all they are doing is mapping the ECU to ignore & block all fault codes relating to the SCR system, the system may still work but if it did stop working you would have no idea that it has stopped working as if the system is not working it wont display any errors.
