Not seen that much (anything tbh?) of folk putting a D5WCS in this location? (see pics) under the bonnet so before I get b@lls deep in plumbing and wiring any words of caution or experience I have missed before I bash on??
I know folk tend to go for the factory location but I want mine up out of as much muck and water as possible so fancied a bit of height.
For Ref:
Its a UK 2021 316 2.1L RHD .....as they should be.....
Mounted drivers side just above the adblue tank in wing (looked at where ECU is on left but thought I'd leave that nice big space for future.
Exhaust will be running straight down past the turbo and P clip to the sump and straight out under chassis
Air intake will be tucked into a chassis rail just below diesel heater. Seems convenient and a bit cleaner.
The bracket is just a quick mockup out of thin Stainless after a cardboard template. Got some heavier stuff on way.
Thanks
