Just to clarify a few more comments on here, My car (the 2.8) did originally have the staggered set up. I will spend a little money on the car over the coming weeks, such as tracking, and new tyres for the rear. I will ensure i purchase the same make and the correct size, then the rolling dimensions...

Re: TCS Coming on for no reason
As noted above the ASC reduces power when the rears are sponning faster than the fronts, there's a big clue. If you have new fronts and old rears it's possible your near the limit of the difference allowed before power is reduced, it will only take a little slip on a gear change to activate it if s...

Re: TCS Coming on for no reason
Why not try a bit of DIY? What are the tread depths of each tyre? Have you removed the front wheels yourself, and checked that the sensor cables are not damaged? Have you removed the sensors and made sure they are clean? I will have to try and look at a few things this weekend.. Are these parts eas...

Re: Numerous electrical problems
OK thanks Robert. I will check this tomorrow morning. I'd imagine the airbag light is just a coincidence and that is just down to the normal faults with wiring under seat etc..

What seems like a car alarm but pathetically quiet goes off every now and then, but when it does my key fob d...

Re: Dual Mass Flywheel
The release bearing is whining and there is starting to be some clutch slip. I could also smell the clutch we driving a little more aggressively. So thought best to change it before it actually fails on me.

Re: Dual Mass Flywheel
Ive always been told to change it when its a dual mass flywheel due to the extra moving parts its more likely to fail.

Dual Mass Flywheel
Hi I have a 1997 (P) 2.8 Z3, Unfortunately its came to the point i should really change my clutch. I've already purchased the clutch ready to fit, but I have just realised, I believe it has a dual mass fly wheel. So i had a quick look here: http://prntscr.com/6x5k4x Would i be right in assuming I sh...
