try ebay for OBD2 reader either usb or bluetooth. these are very simple to use and should meet your needs.

If one disc is shot on an axle then both discs will need replacing along with new pads, so the garage is right in what they recommend. Regarding the car standing for a while, from my experience the car should be fine as I bought my Accord this March and it had stood all over winter from...

Thanks for that, will give some thought over Christmas and might drop you a PM in the New Year (wonder if you can do a price for both stages via file only, drop me a PM with a price) Cheers

That's interesting cheers. I ***ume the stage 1 is the more economical of the two or is it a case of if you drive economically with both remaps they give a similar figure.

Having used the BG244 first then inspecting the EGR I agree with Fahad, clean the EGR manually first as the BG244 did not do very much for mine.

Cheers Faddy I'm not in anyway a doubter (more in awe) :D I take it these remaps can be done via Galleto Flasher and the like so I could flash the ecu myself and keep a copy of the original map file myself for safety (or show I say for posterity sake). I don't have any problems at the moment...

Interesting read Dave cheers mate

Thanks for all the replies. What's the difference between the Stage 1 & 2 and if any of you have more mpg figures I'd much appreciate it. Also I know the trip computer isn't accurate regarding mpg but is the accuracy made worse by the remap? Cheers chaps

Regarding the remap what kind of MPG do you get, I normally get around 540ish miles per tank. If driving very economically I get well over 600 miles. Another reason I haven't remapped is the insurance is an additional £100+ and I'm probably getting into the zone for a new clutch as the car has...

I know it's not mechanical I'll just wait and see if the error reoccurs. Out of interest what kind of price are the solenoids on the facelift version? £100+?

What you say it very true. Forgot your firm was nationwide, might be something I would consider at a latter date though.

I wasn't expecting the BG244 to do anything really it just seems like a bit of a false claim by the manufacturer. Not sure if I would re-map the system and in any case I'm not in your neck of the woods! Plus you'll be to busy re-mapping your new 5 series! Yeah that thought had crossed my mind...

Even though this topic is about BG244 and it's ability to clean the EGR Valve, I'll give a quick bit of background as to how I came to my conclusion. Shortly after purchasing the car I kept getting an intermittent engine management light every now and again but with no performance lost. I...

Started reading this thread and couldn't stop laughing. My wife said you need a sniper for your wife not your phone! :D Which for her is quite quick.

Not sure if the pressures should be the same for winter and summer tyres, but tyre pressures should always be measured when the tyres are cold as when the tyres are warm the air inside expands and the pressures raise giving a false reading.

Don't know if this is any good or indeed if they will deliver to Portugal My link. I believe they have an ebay store as well.

Both have already been done. I should imagine they're pretty devastating off the line!

I'd second what crespo has said. Does depend on how severe the winter weather is, but the narrower the tyre the better it is at cutting through the snow. Also the higher profile helps with pot holes re: Simon's comment & if you do get stuck in the snow you can lower pressures more & use the...

Best of the lot :lol:

This link reminds me of a email that I received which I've pasted below. Please forgive the links to the images as I couldn't paste them directly into the post. A New York man retired. He wanted to use his retirement money wisely, so it would last, and decided to buy a home and a few acres...
