Rear Suspension of CX60 Damping inadequate to regulate rebound
diablos_carcv5 replied to coolguy's topic in General Car Chat
Upon further examination, it has been often likened to comparable experiences; I believe I have described it as akin to being towed down a road in a metal tub equipped with Halfords lowering springs on many occasions. The Pogo effect almost resulted in a crash in 2023; the Konis mitigated this issue but significantly diminished comfort to an intolerable level for everyday usage. I now have the 2024 rear dampers installed, and while they are an improvement over the originals, they remain suboptimal; nonetheless, they are less problematic in comparison to the significant gearbox troubles I am experiencing. Mazda UK is utterly reprehensible. Arguably the most inadequate customer service of any automotive company with whom I have interacted. -

I am quite pleased to have removed my Koni shocks, which were utterly unsuitable for UK conditions. -
It is located on the windshield if you are observing

It should be appropriately labeled. It seems that the 350 variant was mostly from 2018/69. The 400d, from 2019 forward.

Is the 350 a V6 engine and the 400 an inline six-cylinder engine?

Recommendations for purchase preparation?
diablos_carcv5 replied to Gianni682's topic in General Car Chat
It is prudent to enquire with other vendors to ascertain their potential offers. A single hour of calls may provide an additional thousand dollars or more in savings. Consider obtaining a more favourable rate as well. -
Any or all of it might be distorted or misaligned.

Confusion Regarding Headlight Bulbs for the 2007 E92
diablos_carcv5 replied to migueldosantos77's topic in General Car Chat
For a bulb, allow Halfrawds to accommodate one. It is their responsibility to get the appropriate bulb, which should not be an expensive task. -

I believe TechnoTrailblazer is accurate above. Are your lights original equipment manufacturer or aftermarket? -

Consider a maintenance service package if you plan to retain it.

Replacement of the Rear Wheel Bearing on the E90
diablos_carcv5 replied to diablos_carcv5's topic in General Car Chat
I saw that they might be purchased for around £80, which, as you said, would constitute a simple solution. Nonetheless, even if the wheel bearing is functioning well, it is likely that the Reluctor Ring is deteriorating. (I have implemented a provisional solution on one of my devices by placing a washer behind the ABS Sensor.) I am astonished that one of my rear bearings is producing noise, since the vehicle has only accumulated 90,000 km. -
Replacement of the Rear Wheel Bearing on the E90

If I am unable to remove the Drive Shaft, I could just saw it off and purchase new components, so alleviating much of the inconvenience. New Hub - £35 S/H Hub Carrier - £45 New whole drive shaft - £46 I will want a Bearing Fitting Kit (£36) to install the new Bearing. However, it would undoubtedly be more economical than hiring a garage to do all the tasks, which may also need new components. -
Replacement of the Rear Wheel Bearing on the E90

Indeed, I anticipated that it may be challenging. In several films, individuals simply remove the Hub Nut with a socket and a breaker bar, then dislodging the drive shaft with a rod and a hammer. In certain cases, they must use power equipment and various types of pullers. I recently removed the wheels to eliminate kerbing and re-sprayed them. I ought to have examined the nuts; yet, I do not remember them seeming particularly defective. I have a cordial local garage that I consult when a task beyond my capabilities (such as one I have started and had difficulties with). Therefore, I may attempt it and assess my progress. I inquired about the potential cost, but they said that it is contingent upon the ease of the task; sometimes, the driveshafts are simply removed, while at other times, they are so severely damaged that a new hub and driveshaft must be installed. Regardless, I believe there is little need to proceed, therefore I will likely defer until spring to assess its appearance, especially with the onset of colder weather. -

If I go with this, I may concurrently replace the ABS reluctor ring. -

What I first perceived as noise from my differential is, in fact, a rear wheel bearing issue. I have been seeing web videos; it seems very simple, except for the absence of the requisite instruments. I need confirmation on whether this kit has the right sized pieces for the extraction and installation of E90 bearings.

316d N47 - Timing Chain Failure / Engine Malfunction
diablos_carcv5 replied to TechnoTrailblazer's topic in General Car Chat
There is no possibility of BMW providing assistance due to the vehicle's age of 11 years and its history of skipped servicing. They will charge you £220 for the investigation, after which they will provide a repair estimate. In my perspective, charging £7,000 for an engine replacement is excessive; in 99% of cases, the repair is simple, often involving the rockers and cam carrier at worst. There is a little possibility that the chain may have been entangled and destroyed the block; nevertheless, I have personally never seen this happen. Despite block damage, I have reconstructed these engines using a pre-owned block at a little cost. -
2016 GT Line eight-year service components

Spark plugs are replaced when the appropriate mileage is attained; my 2017 Sportage has not had a set of plugs changed in the seven years I owned it, since the mileage never hit 100,000. -
Enhancing Vehicle Performance using Performance Chips.
diablos_carcv5 replied to nickoyster4's topic in General Car Chat
Simply bear in mind that if a product or service is priced below $200, claims to be "universal", or guarantees "no setup required", it is most likely a fraud. -
Due to its infrequent occurrence, diagnosing it will be challenging. During my ownership of the e61 535d a few years ago, it functioned well. However, one morning, it completely failed to start. I disconnected the IBS and it suddenly became operational, then I reinstalled the IBS and did not have the problem again. My suggestion would be to disconnect the power supply to the IBS and attempt to restart it when the issue occurs again.
