Did the garage also repair the wear sensors, considering that the brake pads may have been replaced previously? Once the car or sensors indicate a need for replacement, or if the sensors have beyond their lifespan, they must be replaced to eliminate the warning, I believe. The procedure to reset the brake service light for a BMW 520d (F10/F11 or G30 chassis) can be executed via the BC button on the turn signal stalk or the odometer reset button on the instrument cluster. Essential Prerequisites: Installation of new brake pads and a new brake wear sensor is required for the reset to function properly. The sensor is a disposable device that interrupts the circuit when utilised. The electronic parking brake must be disengaged. Your foot must be removed from the brake pedal. Reset Protocol (utilising the BC stalk button) Activate the ignition without initiating the engine by pressing the Start/Stop button once for F-chassis or three times for G-chassis, without applying pressure on the brake pedal. Shut all doors and await the clearance of any preliminary warning messages from the instrument cluster. Utilise the BC button located at the end of the turn signal stalk to go around the instrument cluster display until the date/time or trip odometer is visible. Depress and maintain pressure on the BC button until the service warning indicators manifest. Press the BC button briefly and frequently to navigate among the many service options (front brakes, rear brakes, brake fluid, etc.) until the preferred item is highlighted. After the desired service is shown, press and hold the BC button one more until "Reset?" is displayed. Depress the button, then press and hold it again until the progress meter completes and "Reset Successful" or "Resetting" appears. Deactivate the ignition. The warning light should now be extinguished.

I purchased a 520d a few months ago from a dealership that replaced the brake pads and discs prior to my acquisition of the vehicle. I brought the automobile to BMW for servicing, and it indicated a requirement for brake pad maintenance; however, I informed them that it had already been completed. They completed the remainder of the service. A few days ago, the brake pad warning light illuminated, indicating that the brake pads require replacement, but I am aware that they do not. BMW will not reset it as they did not install the brake pads. Do you have any suggestions for resolving this issue so it no longer appears on my dashboard? I attempted to reset it, but it is unfeasible as the car believes it requires completion. Thank you very much

For a preliminary assessment, I purchased an inexpensive device from eBay. It functioned effectively with the use of diesel. It is a 12-volt heater/smoke generating unit, and I utilised my Ryobi tyre inflator to apply pressure.

I am unfamiliar with the allen key technique. Is this rotating back and forth to loosen it? I would apply Plusgas over several days of thermal cycles, then thereafter attempt to release it while the engine is heated.

Indeed, a smoke test is a prudent strategy.

Indeed, I neglected to add that the EGR was my initial focus; nevertheless, I was unable to detach it despite employing many methods, including the allen key technique. I aimed to avoid damage, as I require the vehicle for daily work; hence, I opted to remove the plastic cover and clean what was accessible. However, that mechanism was operating without restriction.

Preliminary assessment? Although the code does not indicate it, inspecting the EGR for unobstructed movement is not challenging. Annual cleaning and soaking in Plusgas is prudent maintenance for these. Regrettably, nothing apparent arises, since the turbo actuator is undergoing self-testing satisfactorily.

High temperatures appear to exacerbate the issue, particularly while accelerating in an excessively low gear, prior to the gearbox functioning optimally.

2009 W639 2.2 D OM 646 Hello everyone, my van has intermittently entered limp mode for the past year, but it has recently been occurring daily. Is it possible that the summer heat is a contributing factor? Powering off and then on resets the device. A scan revealed the error "2526-004 StoredY77/1 (Boost pressure regulator) - Signal line is interrupted." I have thus far inspected for air leaks, although it is challenging to detect them in that area. Verified that the actuator cycles upon van ignition, cleaned the connector, serviced the MAF, installed a new air filter, and replaced the crank sensor. I apprehend disassembling the entire assembly and the wiring loom, which appears to be in pristine condition. I do not observe any areas where it may abrade or fracture the insulation. Are there additional simple aspects I might verify initially?

A hybrid vehicle incurs a greater purchase price than a petrol counterpart, with servicing costs being elevated—particularly during the fourth service when maintenance on the hybrid system occurs. Insurance premiums are increased; however, the superior fuel efficiency may render the overall expenses comparable to those of a petrol vehicle. The high-voltage battery is encompassed by a seven-year warranty. With a PHEV, one must consider the complexities associated with charging. You should also consider your sentiments towards net zero.

We achieve 55-60 miles per gallon from a 2022 Niro HEV. I have been informed that despite the increased complexity of the mechanics, the engine experiences reduced stress during acceleration due to the activation of the battery and motor. Knock on wood, we have experienced considerable happiness thus far.

I have owned a 2021 Kia e-Niro for two and a half years. The battery is covered under the 7-year warranty, provided it is maintained according to the specified service plan. I have been thoroughly satisfied with the vehicle. It is remarkably economical to use and maintain; nevertheless, I possess a home charger and benefit from overnight charging at 7p/KwH. If home charging were unavailable, I would purchase a petrol-only vehicle, at least until public charging gets more affordable (the availability of public charging is rather satisfactory currently). Kia continues to produce a substantial number of gasoline-powered vehicles, especially in the pre-owned market.

I found it quite enjoyable. Ample interior space. Acquire 4 Spec and you possess all the equipment.

The hybrid Niro does not require charging. Only a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) operates in this manner, particularly when not charged at home. Consequently, I would refrain from acquiring a PHEV. This is the outcome I derived from my HEV.

My Ceed operates solely on fuel. Vehicles registered in 2022 are available for purchase, but only petrol models; the status of diesel models remains uncertain.

Niro is available exclusively in non-petrol variants.

Would you not simply procure petrol at that point? You are correct; you are assuming certain disadvantages (complexity) without reaping the advantages (savings and environmental benefits). I am unable to provide answers to your other enquiries.

Hello, I own a Kia Rio, which has proven to be exceptionally reliable. My daughter is in search of a quality used vehicle that is little larger than mine, prompting me to consider the Niro. Regrettably, home charging appears unfeasible; although she has adequate space, she resides in a rental property and lacks a separate electrical meter. I have two enquiries: Would you purchase a Niro, knowing that you would predominantly operate it on petrol? I believe that hybrids are more sophisticated and that their servicing may be costlier than that of diesel or petrol vehicles. There may be further disadvantages of which I am unaware. Secondly, if she seeks a conventional diesel or petrol vehicle, what possibilities are available from Kia? I can observe their present production (predominantly hybrid or electric), but I am unaware of when they ceased manufacturing diesel or petrol models, particularly in the larger body sizes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Is the battery included in the 7-year/100,000-mile guarantee for their hybrid and electric vehicles? Thank you for your counsel.

After 6600 miles, I have yet to encounter anything approximating this condition. I recommend taking it to the dealer for inspection.

Negative, I have not. The nearest information I received indicated that the front radar was unable to detect any objects. It was also a clear day. It occurred once and has not recurred thus far. I am uncertain whether your issue would generate any codes. It may be beneficial to investigate it.

Is there no one else experiencing this issue?

2025 CX70, 3,000 miles. Whenever I stop behind a vehicle at a traffic light, the front camera activates and emits a continuous beeping sound, indicating that I am dangerously close to the car in front, regardless of whether I am two feet or six feet away. This issue has become extremely frustrating, as it did not occur when I initially purchased the vehicle; it began approximately three weeks ago. I have attempted to modify the safety settings, but it has made no difference. I would like to know if there is an action I can take, or if I need to schedule an appointment and bring it in. I am curious if this issue has occurred or is occurring for others as well.
