BMW exhibiting intermittent smoke
nicebubby8 replied to migueldosantos77's topic in General Car Chat
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. -

Consequently, the only remaining factor that may logically result in oil leaking past your valve cover gaskets and into the exhaust would be deteriorating turbo oil seals. The seals account for the smoke emanating from the rear, as well as the valve cover gaskets. When turbo seals deteriorate, oil typically leaks past the hot side, resulting in smoke from the tailpipes. Additionally, this failure can lead to increased pressure in the oil return lines, elevating the oil pressure within the block. Consequently, oil may be forced through the gaskets, resulting in leakage onto the exterior of the block or onto the exhaust manifold, which can produce smoke beneath the hood. -
Autodoc on the internet. Utilize the application; it may be more economical.

That is the reason I mentioned the transfer case; I was under the impression that one cannot replenish the traction control fluid.

It is perplexing that they no longer provide a drain cap, since it complicates the process of extracting the oil. It is prudent to repeat the process in about one week if the condition was so severe. I hope that resolves the issue completely. I apologize for not seeing your previous post on the 21st.

My friend had a similar problem, occurring exclusively at certain speeds and gears, attributed to wrong tire sizing. The only consideration I had was that torque requirements in various gears and RPM ranges caused it to manifest at particular intervals.

The EQA 200/250+ is an obvious choice for your needs. Unless you really want the additional power of the 350. Both will possess analogous equipment. The new MGS5 is reportedly excellent, especially with Trophy specifications; consider exploring it. 🙂👍

I have never used it.

Do you have any error messages displayed on the dashboard? Can you read the codes via OBD2. It may be an issue with the immobiliser or the key; however, my recommendation is to read or have the codes read.

It appears that the thermostat is deteriorating.

Online Vehicle Inspections - Am I Expired?

That is the correct option. 👍🏻👍🏻 I apologise if I have mislead you. -

It is a fraudulent scheme. I published a chat many weeks ago. I ultimately blocked the individual. -
I get your desire to replace the filter; nevertheless, what is the rationale for altering the pump?

I would want a practical covered storage container. -

It is somewhat surprising that they are persisting with it. I find the back design of the automobile unappealing; it seems somewhat peculiar. -

Cargo Tray with Seatback Protectors - now unavailable?
nicebubby8 replied to honeycut_mazda5's topic in General Car Chat
Only the carpeted cargo mat and seatback protector options are available for the 50/50 or 60/40 third-row arrangement. I own the OEM rubber cargo mat and seatback protection for my '24 Turbo S PP, which I acquired in November 2023 upon its availability. -

That seems to be the situation. The rubber cargo mat and seatback covers are no longer available on the official Mazda USA Accessories website or on prominent online dealer dealers. -
I carry the actual key with me, since it is sufficiently compact to fit into the back of my wallet.

Coated rotors do not prevent corrosion on the brake surface, since the coating is rapidly eroded by standard use immediately after installation. The remainder of the rotor will stay free from rust for a period of time.

Maintaining the soft top in optimal condition?
nicebubby8 replied to migueldosantos77's topic in General Car Chat
Thank you. It was a "retirement gift" to myself 5-6 years before. I have always expressed a desire to possess at least one Corvette before I pass away. Utilised a little portion of my severance. Acquired it for $9,000, with minor mechanical, electrical, and cosmetic issues that I was able to rectify easily. It has little over 100,000 km and operates as if it were new. It is July, a bright day for cruising with my partner. However, it will also perform very well on a mountain road. -

a conventional canvas cover and instruction handbook. I store it inside, but I maintain the lid at an elevated position. Maintains its tension to prevent any concerns of contraction and excessive tightness. It seems to be more beneficial for it. Moreover, maintaining it ensures it remains dry and clean. If it remains perpetually closed, any accumulation of moisture may promote the proliferation of microorganisms. Maintains the clarity of the plastic back window as well. Constantly folded, it will abrade against itself, resulting in a lacklustre appearance. I also use Autoglym products on my vehicle. There is a bottle of foamy cleaning and a bottle of waterproofing, purchased as a package. Once every season. Exercise caution with the cleaning, since it may significantly mar the paintwork. I used an orbital polisher and Meguiar's polish to remove it. It dried on me, so it may be OK if you prevent it from drying. However, the guidelines explicitly state to "avoid stepping on painted surfaces." I generally avoid parking convertible automobiles outside, since sunlight adversely affects the fabric stitching and rear window. However, if that is all you own, it is all you possess. -
