  1. Greetings, everyone! Purchased a 2015 420i convertible in July of this year. This is my second BMW, but several years have elapsed since my last ownership. The prior vehicle was a pre-owned 316 coupe that I purchased in 1994 and retained for five years until a family expansion necessitated the need for four doors instead of two. As a retiree with a fixed and limited income, I seek guidance and solutions to minimise maintenance expenses.
  2. The manual's graphic specifies that the scissor jack must be placed in the region between the dimples.
  3. degraded/leaky injector, fuel quantity regulation valve
  4. Do you own more than one-quarter of a tank of fuel?
  5. The end plugs must be replaced, rendering them unsellable by dealers. The replacement cost amounted to around £450. The dealer will not proceed with the service without payment for diagnostics, thereafter charging £150-£200 to provide information you have disclosed, in addition to components, labor, and VAT. £50 for two sensors and £400 for diagnosis and installation. Effortless profit.
  6. Do you have a suggested independent shop for servicing the automatic transmission of a BMW? They may possess the solution to your dilemma. Additionally, verify if your vehicle has any unresolved recalls.
  7. As already said. Nonetheless, I would verify that the vehicle is accurately represented as claimed - specifically, the 'Premium Plus package Night Edition' - since dealers have been known to err in their descriptions of automobiles in advertisements.
  8. That appears to be standard; they possess a configured thermostat and water pump. Temperature decreases following prolonged runs or during rapid acceleration for efficiency purposes. Both of my mercenaries exhibit this behaviour. The previous one had functioned without issues for six years.
  9. Shortly after acquiring my Magna, the digital clock on the centre console ceased functioning. Approximately six months later, I engaged in a heated dispute with a family member and, in a fit of anger, forcefully slammed the driver's door. That occurred around nine years ago. Both the clock and the family member remain operational. It was gratifying to reclaim my position with a piece of digital technology, rather than the typical outcome.
  10. Have you maybe previously given the fascia panel a gentle "tap"? Occasionally, this may liberate a jammed gauge.
  11. Based on the appearance of the picture shown here: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/186767880331?_skw=mitsubishi+magna+fuel+sender&itmmeta=01JHNDGVDRVVT2YJPX8DN9GVMA&hash=item2b7c3bb08b:g:~BQAAOSwmD5nLIvt&itmprp=enc:AQAJAAABAHoV3kP08IDx+KZ9MfhVJKlqcvKIs0FJmUSZgsVPc3phTa1qzEiv27nxDjMZ+oH+z7ByBa69OyssIeV/huyoUe965KmatgbYmQu4bVeOIPm83lk3UCHXuD75h4jpaJAEWdZBHo3i9TRvVbJFIkXEXuCw+LObRcoZUmVT2df9Hz5ypQYChEuYc7mC6tR0LR+w0P46Ul0XtAzlykmAha+9FGJ+h9AP1rA9WJCBYOYIhmUT4nBiGvYndcCOzPxK0wFWfll5nnkdFueAKDqiUzmx4UFtWEeMciP1AjHYrlxaoxI9puVgiFWEopJwns3R9x0Jhd+TRXbpwdkqRRvBalDaFTM=|tkp:Bk9SR463w62NZQ&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=705-53470-19255-0&campid=5338787093&toolid=10001&customid=130832X1605589X3e1b0813cb7351a6f877637e2308bbad
  12. I am unable to discern the identity of each connection from the diagram. You must determine the function of each connection. Sever the sender connection and operate it for many days. Ensure that you possess a enough amount of gasoline remaining. I cannot confirm the presence of a short circuit. You must ascertain that independently.

  14. I lack a picture of a regular car/TF fuel tank. I own just one for my all-wheel-drive kind. The back seat must be removed. That is simple to do. Two pull tabs are located at the front of the seat cushion. They are perceptible, despite their lack of visibility. The electrical connections for the fuel pump are entirely distinct from those of the gauge sender. EDIT - the tank for FWD/TF integrates the sender and fuel pump, in contrast to the AWD type with which I am acquainted.
  15. Your issue may be attributed to "parasitic draw" or "parasitic power loss". If you want to do your own research: Advance Auto Parts - Undergoing Maintenance The Magna is not often associated with this issue, but I cannot conceive of any alternative. The electrical system of my vehicle is entirely unaltered, intentionally. Do you own any aftermarket stereos, towbars, etc.? They would serve as an excellent first point for investigation.

  17. will be 3 years old next month. My automobile is often not started for three to four days. No issues.
  18. Simply place a meter across the battery terminals or the jump-start connections when the issue arises. A nonfunctional cell will exhibit a rapid increase in battery voltage when it reactivates.
  19. A defective cell in the battery exhibits those specific symptoms, even if the battery tests as functional.
