BCM

[Mollymoodoo]

Hi Folks

Quick question. Can I unplug the main loom plugs on the BCM and plug them back in again without issue? I want to change my cabin filter but can't do it with the plugs in the way.

Make sure you disconnect the negative battery terminal before doing so.

I had no problem changing the filter without removing the BCM it is slightly in the way but it makes it in and out ok just thank god it's not a MK2 that was a PITA 😂

undo (or is it just loosen) the right side GEM bracket then the whole thing can be moved without touching any wires or disconnecting anything

Mine was a nightmare and I'm reasonably certain it isn't installed properly, more just rammed in as best as I could.

I've just watched online and one dude made it look a hell of a lot easier is t was for me. Maybe I should have another go. 🙂

Bit of a fiddle but can be done without touching anything else. Just have to be firm pulling old filter out and new one back in.

I had to put a cushion on the door sill and lie back over it to get in there easier it's very limited space. You just ease it in bit by bit and it eventually goes in.
