90% of brake squeaking I come accross is either from parts not greased correctly or pads not chamfered correctly. 9% is a problem in the calipers and the final 1% is just compatibility between pads n ...

Even if the crankcase breather is hooked up correctly I would give it a good clean (pipes too). Whilst I am not very familiar with this car yet, it is common that excess crankcase pressure from a bloc ...

The FAG part numbers are the correct bearings they are tapered so check they are facing the correct way, also check your new parts are correctly supplied. Not 100% sure what is too big or too small bu ...

From memory (I have seen a few Bosch boxes while looking for my ignition parts) they are not expensive. There are also other options of which MSD seems a bit like overkill on a road car. But do some r ...
