On my tacoma with the BSM delete (BHW block) I mainly notice vibration @ idle and under load when under 2k rpm....above 2k it's smooth as silk....just over 20k miles since march 11' with no issues
....wondering if you have another issue?. Maybe I should stop by for a BSM delete anyway.We are both comparing apples to orangesOn my tacoma with the BSM delete (BHW block) I mainly notice vibration @ idle and under load when under 2k rpm....above 2k it's smooth as silk....just over 20k miles since march 11' with no issues
(as opposed to stock) as your application is way different and mine has the manual transmission variable.Jeff is talking about my Passat! I just drove it home last night (3 hrs) and there is NO difference in vibration. Let me repeat, NO difference. He discovered that I had a bad motor mount and replaced that as well. The car drives like a dream and there is such piece of mind that comes with this. The only way I can actually discern that the BSM is gone is the absence of chain noise at idle. It just purrs like a diesel should! Kudos to Jeff for also fixing my leaky rear passenger door and a broken center dash vent.
i just might know where there is another!
They are fairly in tune with the BSM issue in Canada, and they obviously have access to the parts, seeing as how they got them for my car. Someone is getting the parts, and from the comments in this thread, it is not the private mechanic. My module arrived from Germany in a shipment of 19 units headed to VW Canada. Supply is limited, but not extinct....at least not to the dealerships. I suspect that little or no product is making it to the secondary market, but that there still might be chance to get the parts from the dealerships.
I rest my case.I am hoping to get my newly acquired B/S kit installed this coming week by VWZTIPS. took a shot in the dark and contacted a dealer and low and behold he had a it in stock.sitting on my bench.!happy days are here again.
That's unfortunate. I wonder if the supply has remained constant, but the demand has increased, as these cars age and word about the BSM gets out? If that is the case, maybe we'll see parts available again once demand has peaked and starts to drop off. My thinking is that the allotment to North America has remained a fraction of overall worldwide supply, but that the parts are still being churned out in Germany.....albeit slowly.I've not been able to get any at all. Got the gears, bolts, etc. but no actual module. Used to get them regularly from my local dealer.
Well, good news. The BRM bits for the delete we've been waiting for finally arrived, and the 3 red order BSM modules we've been waiting for were shipped from Germany today!
Make sure that new engine doesn't have a chain....
Is the engine you are buying "new" new? As in VW short block; because if you're installing a used engine you will still need your BSM kit.
