Online Vehicle Inspections - Am I Expired?

It is becoming prevalent as a fraudulent scheme. The crooks likely do this several times daily. -
Fault in seven-speed automatic gearbox gearbox
QuirkyPixel replied to BENZE220AMG's topic in General Car Chat
It is necessary to retrieve problem codes using the diagnostic equipment. Common issues include wear in valve bodies and dual clutch units. Given the age of the vehicle, you should have completed three gearbox oil maintenance by now. -

Exterior Mirrors Fail to Acknowledge Driver Memory
QuirkyPixel replied to xsports's topic in General Car Chat
Fifteen may be quite excessive unless you were in the luxury sector and top grade. None of my previous vehicles have memory outside mirrors. -
Would echo the return of RAC. However, if possible, please visit your dealer. To confirm that RAC did not create an issue during the battery replacement.

Replacement of the Rear Wheel Bearing on the E90
QuirkyPixel replied to diablos_carcv5's topic in General Car Chat
Purchasing a full secondhand rear hub/shaft/hub carrier likely eliminates the need of installing a new bearing. They have considerable durability. Regardless, enjoy the drama. Winter has arrived! -
Replacement of the Rear Wheel Bearing on the E90
QuirkyPixel replied to diablos_carcv5's topic in General Car Chat
The primary challenge will be extracting the driveshaft. E90s are notorious for rusting firmly onto the drive flange, provided the large nut has not corroded excessively. They are challenging, and by the time you purchase a quality puller kit, it may be more practical to have a garage do the task. The first step is to release the driveshaft nut and see whether the shaft will cooperate. -
Indeed, but also monitor for burning sensations.

I would first examine the LCM connections and wiring.
-
The E39 has a light control module (LCM). I recommend obtaining BMW diagnostics to check for error codes. If necessary, a functional used module will be needed, which must also be programmed to the vehicle.

Congratulations on the new vehicle!

"Cover the lights with tape." As Johnny said, it may only be the module.

Could you perhaps provide some clarification on the term "back plates"? Are you referring to the brake pads, or is there another aspect that I am overlooking? I am planning to replace the retaining pins and metal braked/spring mechanism, since the current pins, which are somewhat rusted, are impeding the free movement of the brake pads. I have reached the conclusion that the brake judder disappears in the cooler mornings but reappears when it becomes warmer, indicating that the issue cannot be attributed to the brake discs. This leads me to believe that the pins may be smaller in size when it is cold, allowing for better movement of the brake pads. If it proves ineffective, then it would have been a mere expenditure of €15.

An enduring perennial issue, which I have also encountered. The mileage required for replacement may vary depending on your specific automobile. However, I have just replaced the two outer tie rods of the steering arm, which has effectively decreased the occurrence of the "wobble" in the steering system. It is worth noting that both joints were worn out after covering a distance of 80,000 miles. Please verify the tracking information. I completely agree with the prior remarks on the importance of being meticulously clean. I still have a little instability, but my vehicle had a TUV test last week (the German equivalent of a MOT) and I specifically requested the inspector to thoroughly examine the front suspension. In addition to being placed on the wobbling table to inspect all the joints, the individual meticulously examined every component using a pry bar and other tools, and verified that everything was in excellent condition. If you want assistance with the replacement of tie rod ends, please go to my YouTube channel (link provided in signature block).

What is the reason for my automobile not having this?
QuirkyPixel replied to BENZE220AMG's topic in General Car Chat
I possess it on my vehicle, a July 2018 GLC PP model. -
The maps in the new automobile are significantly outdated.
QuirkyPixel replied to pharmoun's topic in General Car Chat
After updating the maps, the SD card had a malfunction and required five re-insertions before it resumed functioning. Additionally, when seeing the significant shortcomings of Mazda's solution compared to Google Maps (with specific areas being completely absent, not just outdated), I made the decision to use CarPlay and Google instead. I feel the HUD function to be insufficiently valuable to justify the additional effort required to maintain up-to-date maps. -
The battery of the E90 330d is experiencing a loss of power.
QuirkyPixel replied to KWILB's topic in General Car Chat
In my assessment, I would attribute the issue to a malfunctioning alternator.
