Is the coolant exhibiting a vigorous bubbling action and being expelled from the reservoir? I recently had an issue with my R50 vehicle. The seal on the cap of the thermostat housing had deteriorated, resulting in a lack of pressure. Consequently, the coolant did not reach the required temperature for the fan to activate. I was able to resolve the issue by using a new cap. It is worth trying considering their affordable price.

To ensure optimal service from the dealer, it is advisable to bring the car in while the fault is occurring. In some cases, these gearboxes may not generate a fault code. Therefore, if the service is performed while the car is running poorly, the dealer will be able to identify that the issue may be related to the electro plate. If the dealer is a reputable one, they will likely remove the faulty electro plate and replace it with a new one, ensuring that it is properly coded to the car.

I have just became a parent to twins and I am considering replacing my cherished 2 series with a more functional and family-friendly X3. I will make a purchase using a mix of part exchange and full cash payment, excluding PCP/HP. If any of you have lately purchased pre-owned items that have been authorised, please share your experience. Was there a significant degree of flexibility in terms of price negotiation? Do you have any recommendations for obtaining the most advantageous agreement?

To choose the appropriate version, please input your software number into the designated field provided by the installer. Upon examining the first image I shared, it clearly illustrates the sort of platform.

The vehicle in question is a MY17 equipped with the most recent iteration of Compact Gen5. If the first letters and numbers of your software version match those of mine, then it will be identical to the one I have installed. The screens have been arrived.

The presence of oil in the TCU disrupts its performance and leads to 'short circuits'. The whole conductor plate and its electrical solenoids within the gearbox are immersed in Automatic Transmission Fluid operating at temperatures between 80 and 90 degrees Celsius. The distinction is in their intentional design to function in such a manner. The TCU was placed in the passenger compartment, indicating that it was not otherwise. Although it is improbable that this is the issue you are facing, I have shown in post #9 how simple it is to verify. The decision is yours.

To remove the carpet, first detach the soundproofing block by pulling it down. Then, use a 10 mm socket to unscrew the four plastic nuts. Next, lower the metal plate that is securing the TCU (Transmission Control Unit). Finally, loosen the single 8mm bolt that is keeping the TCU in place. Following these steps will successfully complete the removal process. Straightforward.

While you are awaiting the return of your lever, I suggest taking a moment to examine the TCU, as mentioned in my previous article. Although you currently do not exhibit any indications of oil wick, it would be advisable to thoroughly inspect the Transmission Control Unit (TCU) for the presence of Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). No risks or potential negative consequences.

Verifying the presence of ATF Accessing the TCU (Transmission Control Unit) in a car is a simple task that does not need lifting the vehicle. The TCU is conveniently located in the passenger footwell, making it easily accessible. The process of accessing and working on the TCU typically takes about 30 minutes and does not require any specialised equipment. Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) enters the Transmission Control Unit (TCU) when the o-ring on the TCU plug breaks on the gearbox. The replacement component is inexpensive and readily available on the internet. It is worth noting that some people anticipate detecting the scent or presence of Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) on the wires during examination. However, I believe that the fluid has the ability to seep into the individual conductors inside the wire insulation.

Rudy7831, your automobile is equipped with a variant of the 722.6 gearbox, which is widely used in several vehicles, including cars, trucks, and buses. There is a plethora of useful knowledge available online. What is the mileage of this automobile and when was the gearbox last maintained?

Acknowledged. I may visit my independent financial advisor to inquire about the tools he utilises. It's hard to believe that he depends only on the computerised display.

I considered that option, however I am now in the middle of my oil change schedule. The last maintenance was completed when I bought the automobile a few months ago, and I prefer not to repeat it just yet.

2003 Mercedes-Benz W209 CLK 240 I depend on my car's oil change indicator to notify me when it need maintenance. There is no dipstick. Strongly dislike it. This may be suitable for newer engines in good condition, but in my opinion, it may not be ideal for older engines with over 20 years of use that tend to have little oil leaks. I prefer not to wait until the automobile indicates that it need a full litre of fuel. I have the aftermarket gearbox dipstick. Could I use the oil level measuring chart if it is accurate? I have come across references to the OE workshop dipstick as well as an alternative from Baum Tools. I have discovered a chart for the Baum tool that specifies the acceptable range for my engine oil level as between 148mm and 168mm. It is currently uncertain if the situation involves low/high or cold/hot temperatures, more inquiry is necessary.

I was first considering a low estimate of $55 due to the underappreciation of GT's worth, but it has already reached $95k on the first day, which is a promising start!

Certainly. The E-class estate serves as a suitable accommodation option, comparable to a hotel, where one may find lodging.

From my perspective, it is reasonable to assume that larger vehicles would be more advantageous for those who often engage in long-distance driving.

When you touch the handle's inside, it releases the lock.

The CL vehicle I acquired had been previously owned by an individual who engaged in smoking activities, as indicated by a burn mark that I had since remedied. Despite my inability to detect any residual smoke odour, I wanted to ascertain its complete absence with absolute certainty. I employed one of these devices. The process involves combining two containers of powdered substances, adding 60 millilitres of water, and allowing the resulting mixture to generate Chlorine gas, which then fills the inside space of an automobile. The product is intended to effectively eliminate odours in vehicles, but leaving a residual aroma reminiscent of a swimming pool for a brief period of time. It may be advantageous to consider attempting the task at a cost of £15. I inadvertently left the item in my vehicle for the whole of the night.

It seems that you have undertaken a comprehensive odour elimination process, OP. It may be advisable to consider using the following methods as a concluding measure in order to ascertain if the residual fragrance of your Crayola-scented vehicle can be completely eradicated.

I comprehend the exertions you had to do in order to address this olfactory issue. I am not acquainted with the olfactory characteristics associated with the scent of crayons; nevertheless, I can attest to the fact that we previously acquired an SLK vehicle that had been exposed to tobacco smoke. As an individual who has previously engaged in smoking behaviour but now has contradictory views, I have a strong aversion against occupying vehicles that exhibit residual tobacco odours. Consequently, I found myself much perturbed upon discovering that the vehicle we had inspected had been exposed to such an environment, as shown by the open roof during our visitation. In order to thoroughly cleanse, sanitise, and eliminate any unpleasant odours, I undertook the task of removing a significant portion of the decorative mouldings and inside fabric covering, often referred to as the trim and headlining. I used two distinct applications of a chemical product known as 'air vidox' in an attempt to eliminate the smoke odour from the vehicle. Regrettably, despite my efforts, the automobile continued to retain a residual scent reminiscent of a chlorinated swimming pool, and the smoke odour persisted even after the second treatment. I consistently ensured that the roof was left exposed whenever possible, and diligently performed repeated cleaning tasks on it. The vehicle in question was recently exchanged over the last month, after a period of ownership spanning four years. Despite this, there were some instances when a faint odour was still perceptible. Consequently, I can empathise with your desire to eliminate any lingering smells from an automobile. I fail to get the rationale of engaging in such arguments. As a newcomer to this community, I have encountered instances when some individuals exhibit a rather direct manner in their posts. However, overall, the majority of participants have shown a high degree of friendliness. Therefore, I encourage you to persist in your engagement and I am certain that other members will appreciate your contribution.

Thank you for providing this valuable information. I have observed the information on the Kabeer product, but I have not seen any explicit mention of its inclusion of AFS capabilities. Therefore, it is vital to ascertain if it does really include this feature.

May I kindly request further information, please? I am interested in engaging in this activity. I have seen LED headlights available at a similar price point, however it seems that they do not possess the Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) functionality.

What are the reasons for using LED technology? It may be advisable to consider investing in a high-quality xenon bulb. Alternatively, it is possible to seek the assistance of an individual or entity capable of renovating your projectors.

There seems to be a significant prevalence of unreliable 12-volt batteries on the market. There are indications that the fuel is being depleted, and it has been seen that Mazda has implemented many solutions to address this issue so far.
