Assistance required for a 2012 BMW 520D GT F07.
nickoyster4 replied to ENVIOclev's topic in General Car Chat
The torque converter is detached from the flywheel and secured by four bolts, which can be accessible by removing the starter. By undoing these nuts, the torque converter may be separated from the flywheel. What is the car's mileage? If the mileage of the vehicle is beyond 100,000, I would recommend replacing the timing chain together with the task mentioned. The majority of the cost is attributed to the effort involved, particularly in reaching the flywheel. -
Although it seems to have been somewhat costly, your analysis is somewhat biassed. If we exclude the expenses for tires and brakes (which are consumables) and the Adblue unit (which is not the car's fault), the total cost comes down to £4950 in the Maintenance/repair category. Which option is more rational. However, it is undeniable that the money has really been spent. Ultimately, considering the cost you spent together with any further enhancements, you have acquired a really satisfactory automobile.

I recently visited the website to get information about it. The issue I am facing is the absence of a laptop. I need assistance with the installation. -
Enhancing Vehicle Performance using Performance Chips.
nickoyster4 replied to nickoyster4's topic in General Car Chat
I am certain that they have really produced high-quality components. I own a brief ram intake equipped with a cold box and a cat-back exhaust system. I am quite satisfied with my purchase. The one issue I encounter is that their enhancements in performance are specifically designed for turbocharged engines, which I do not own. -

Uncertain about the meaning of JB4? CorkSport offers a turbo kit priced at $250, which is rather affordable. However, it necessitates the use of a laptop with a disc drive, which I do not own (incurring additional expenses), and I am also lacking a turbo. I am uncertain about whether it would be a worthwhile investment. -

Recommendations for upgrading the B8 A5 suspension
nickoyster4 replied to ENVIOclev's topic in General Car Chat
It is well known that each automobile tends to favour a certain kind of X tires, making it impossible to find a universal solution. Each individual has their own driving style, which means that although I may have a preference for Bridgestone tires, you could prefer Pirellis for the identical automobile. I strongly encourage you to make an effort to experience it yourself and form your own opinion. -
Recommendations for upgrading the B8 A5 suspension
nickoyster4 replied to ENVIOclev's topic in General Car Chat
You possess a document with the reference code A5 - B8 - 2010. I find it difficult to comprehend how the automobile may exhibit both floating and understeer simultaneously. This suggests a potential issue with the alignment of the vehicle. Perhaps a trivial inquiry, but can you confirm that you do own a vehicle equipped with the quattro drivetrain? -

Upon reading this, I wonder if the alignment of the front wheels is accurate. -
Headrests for the second row captain's chairs.
nickoyster4 replied to WhisperingWillow's topic in General Car Chat
Initially, we modified the booster seat to ensure that its back would securely rest on the seat back. We replaced this item on the dealer's premises when we collected it. It seems as if Mazda's production line instructions are reversed. My in-laws, who are over 70 years old, likewise want to have them reversed in order to avoid neck discomfort. -

Although it provides some relief, the discomfort persists. -

I agree with the sentiment, as many seated in the second row have expressed similar opinions. -
Effective ways for accessing the positive wire
nickoyster4 replied to stevenkeyte's topic in General Car Chat
Sever the cable, remove the insulation, insert one end into one hole and the other end into another hole, and connect to a third hole by tapping. Job well done! -

Wago connectors are an optimal option for automobile connections due to their ability to withstand vibrations without compromising the spring pressure on the wires. -

Comparison between GR Sport Ride and Excel

I had the steering column replaced in my CX60 on February 23rd. The dealer provided me with a rental vehicle for around 5 to 6 weeks while the wait for the necessary components and installation. I was really surprised when I got a recall notice from Mazda two weeks ago, stating that a spring needed to be changed on the recently installed steering column component. I have lost confidence in the Japanese engineering of Mazda. I am also experiencing an issue with the rear driver-side door handle, which remains extended if not properly greased. The primary dealer has notified me that a component has arrived to fix this problem. I have installed the most recent updates at the time when the steering problem occurred. I maintain my belief that the rear suspension is excessively inflexible, nevertheless, my primary dealership asserts that there is no Mazda recall pertaining to this matter.

The diffuser seen in the video is an Enlaes diffuser. It is my understanding that they have gone out of business. However, there are several copies available elsewhere. The design consists of three separate pieces. -

It is just the process of condensation. Experiencing exhaustion or fatigue. The morning was cool and refreshing. -

I own a complete set of XS Power downpipes, made entirely of stainless steel, with a diameter of 3/18 inches and wrapped. Additionally, I have a fully valved FI stainless steel exhaust system. It sounds really favourable in my perspective. I own many films showcasing the engine revving in various setups, which might be used as points of reference. The valves have been opened.
