  1. Indeed, I completed all necessary tasks when I replaced the thermostat, so I believe I am adequately prepared in that regard. I observed typical oil spots around the seal positions, which had been improperly installed. It appears that the new MAF required calibration in my situation.
  2. Disconnected the negative connection for 20 minutes while I replaced the fuel filter today. Currently, it is idling more effectively.
  3. I apologise, everyone. I did not receive notifications regarding your responses. I ultimately resolved it. The MAF was indeed defective. I purchased a pre-owned Y-Pipe in superior condition than mine, which included one MAF. I transferred my functional MAF to it, and it accurately registered the temperature and airflow readings. Nevertheless, I occasionally have a minor hitch after startup. Avantgarde indicated at Clevedon that the adjustments must be recalibrated for optimal performance. The issue is that I currently reside in Scotland, necessitating the search for a reputable independent establishment in Edinburgh. All local garages I have contacted have provided a standard quotation of approximately £90 for one hour of service. I would be more advantageous to purchase a superior fault reader for the two minutes required to reset it.
  4. Well I've just replaced the temp sensor and I'm not surprised but it didn't fix the issue. Upon disconnecting Sensor A, I observed that its temperature remains at 79°C while Sensor B's temperature decreases to 21°C. Upon disconnecting Sensor B, both temperatures stabilise at 79°C. The subsequent course of action appears to be attempting a costly MAF replacement, unless someone possesses other insights.
  5. Greetings, everyone. I am receiving many trouble codes on my 2010 E350. The initial focus is on the Air Intake Temperature sensor, which I intend to replace due to the original appearing contaminated, and the cost is sufficiently low. I was informed that the codes are associated with a defective MAF sensor. Enclosed are the codes and the real-time readings from my Maf sensors. Disconnecting sensor B results in a value of 0g. Upon disconnecting Sensor A, the readout displays 166g, while Sensor B subsequently increases to 8g. I am willing to invest in a replacement MAF, but I seek guidance before proceeding with the expenditure.
  6. The 12-volt battery is a disposable component; when it ultimately fails, it may be easily replaced.
  7. A late first-generation Excel is a reasonable option; however, does it still include the heated steering wheel, given that the Excel specification lost this feature during the production phase-out period?
  8. It is suggested that it may be a late Generation 1; however, sharing an image of yours might assist others with any enquiries you may have. However, I am confident that you can distinguish between Generation 1 and Generation 2. Merely based on the body style alone. Generation 1
  9. I replaced the rear disc and pads on my 2019 4 Series a few months ago, and the shoes appeared to be in excellent condition. A spray of brake cleaner will effectively clean the surface. As others have mentioned, you will need to adjust the shoes after fitting the new disc. Numerous YouTube videos exist that demonstrate how to adjust shoes. Disregard the section concerning the modification of the handbrake lever. The 'P' position merely secures the transmission, with no relation to the handbrakes.
  10. The 2016 3 Series is equipped with the same manual handbrake as my 4 Series. Replacement is straightforward; however, it is essential to remember to engage the handbrake to prevent the vehicle from moving when replacing the front brakes. When changing the rear components, it is essential to secure the vehicle using wheel chocks, as the handbrake must be disengaged to remove the disc; otherwise, the shoes will obstruct the disc's removal. You wish to avoid the disruption caused by a vehicle in motion while work.
  11. Initially, I would address any outstanding concerns you own. Subsequently, have the codes interpreted. This may promptly direct you to the correct item. for example My W251 climate control was malfunctioning. The item was scanned; it was brief and involved the replacement of a cable. Everything is satisfactory. Cognitive processes incur significant costs.
  12. It seems you are speaking from experience.
  13. My G20 is equipped with staggered wheels. I want to replace the front tires with non-runflat variants. The rear run-flat tires has enough tread and do not need replacement. Is it permissible to have a combination of non-run-flat tires on the front and run-flat tires on the rear?
  14. Whoever conveyed the information is speaking utter nonsense. When oil is heated and comes into touch with the seals, the seals expand due to the heat. If the seal is deteriorating but not completely failed, increased temperature (due to prolonged operation) will cause the seal to expand, hence enhancing its sealing capability. A little quantity of oil might need a significant duration to combust in an exhaust, since it does not evaporate like water. If your seals are deteriorating but not completely failed, you may have seepage into the exhaust and potential pressure in the oil drain line, which might force oil back into the crankcase. Once the vehicle reaches operating temperature, the seals may improve somewhat in effectiveness. Additionally, regarding the PCV system, idling may produce increased smoke in some vehicles if the crankcase pressure exceeds acceptable levels. When idling, the PCV valve is actuated open by the vacuum generated by the manifold. This compels all gases from the crankcase breather tubes to be sent into the manifold for combustion (emission waste). While driving under boost, the boost pressure within the system forces the valve to close, directing the gases into the intake (post-MAF) and traversing the entire system. This process facilitates the combustion of a greater volume of blow-by as it passes through the turbo, down the pipes, through the intercooler, and subsequently past the throttle body into the manifold, resulting in a more complete combustion.
