yeah, I bought one. should be arriving tomorrow. I will first check the input and make sure that the vacuum pump is working well enough, after that I'll test the check valve. if that's all good then it must be the servo?

Most likely your egr is electronic or air over electric and may get egr faults. You've asked this before my mate? ☹️

Looks like the hose only does the servo

DVM out then👍

I don't know the answer to your questions as I have never experienced the problem. Personally I would be looking for bad connections in the power line from the under bonnet fuse box and bad earths.

Thanks, will do 👍🏻

I've personally got wobbly joints , just need a few for the wrenches now :D

Thars a good question 🤔🤣

But what if its a Lady type gentleman, would it still cool the lady type gentlemans area the same ?

I have ordered from Autodoc a few times for otherwise hard to find parts, but like others I'm not patient so I don't use them unless I have to

Autodoc has popped up a few times when I've been searching for parts for the L322. There has always been something about it that didn't sit right , so I never ordered. Starting to think I was best to not have.

It may be worth checking behind the other kick panel incase there is corrosion on the other connectors to prevent any future issues 👍

Technical name is "vent hose that always comes off". Mine are both the same !! Any spiral vent hose should do. Measure the size of the outlet on the lower panel to see what's needed, and then one slightly longer so it's easier to fit.

It's to cool the gentleman's area... The same on mine. I just taped the tube up and refitted as best as I could 👍

yes it just pulls, on a ratchet type mechanism not sure about putting it back in place, just be very careful, they are easy to break

Also worth inspecting the connections behind the dash. I chased a distortion for ages and just found a loose connection there

Rear screen relay is in BECM as you say, but front has two relays in engine fusebox. I would suspect connection issue from HEVAC output to the BECM. Maybe bung an inline fuse thingy in place of F12 & see if the current changes with the...

The ticking may sound like it's from under the dash but actually be coming from under the seat, pin pointing a noise source like that can be difficult.

Just join them all together, an amazing result 🤯😜

Insulate with glue filled heat shrink.

Thanks for the rapid response. Yes I already tried the good speakers on the left (distorted side) and it’s not duff speaker/s but hadn’t checked the connectors in the A pillar. Just had a look and 3 or 4 pins are showing signs of corrosion...

Cut and solder them all, one at a time, is ideal

Will get it done in the next few days and report back! Cheers

I drove her over the hill and far away. Ok not that far away, about 30 miles. BUT she started with ease every time I had to go do something. I know it's foolhardy but i feel so confident in her starting, I've actually gone on standby. o_O🙏

getting the connections wrong won't make any distortion, but it will sound 'flat' as the phase is off (cone moves in when the other cone moves out). if you have moved the door amp and the issue doesnt move, have you moved the speaker? it could be...

Done some more investigation into the failure of the fob receiver that's under the headlining.. it's obviously got very hot, the marks are where melted plastic from the box have transferred onto the circuit board

Is the fuel rail quick connect the same size as this one that handles the fuel tank vacuum?

Only had one experience with AutoDoc & it will not be repeated :( Ordered a transmission service kit for my old 5 series but the filter wasn't correct & when I tried to get AD to replace the item they refused due the filter being 'part of a...

Their ridex stuff is mainly Chinese built materials ☹️
