  1. Without physically inspecting and test-driving your automobile, it is impossible for anybody to fully comprehend the issue. Begin by doing a scan using vsds.
  2. I currently own original equipment manufacturer (OEM) black items in my inventory. Fresh and authentic.
  3. I now own a BMW. I am aware of this fact. I have not yet had the opportunity to test the self-parking feature. Survived without it for half a century. I have never used the television in any of my previous three vehicles. I have never had a like for sun roofs. Steering wheel equipped with gear paddles. The aforementioned components were present in the automobile at the time of my purchase.
  4. My technician informed me that he would no longer install new balancer shafts in 2016-on Evoques. The primary reason for this decision is that these shafts are prone to failure within a year, and he would be responsible for repairing them at his own expense under the warranty. The only method to alleviate it is to consistently replace the oil, however this does not provide a guarantee. Advised me against being swayed by the attractive appearance of the new Evoques, emphasising the value of preserving my reliable and durable Old 2.2 vehicle.
  5. Are you aware of the current occurrence of vibration that you have been experiencing?
  6. Thank you for recommending the Liqui Moly cleaner. I considered using it, but I am hesitant to attempt the direct technique on my vehicle, which has accumulated 195,000 miles. Instead, I have decided to try the alternative way that is highly recommended by everyone on the internet. Can we see the progress and outcome?
  7. I have just purchased the BG244 and have added it to my vehicle's fuel tank, along with around 75% of a tank of diesel purchased from Morrisons. After driving the vehicle for a distance of 10 miles in order to facilitate the circulation of the product throughout the system, I have observed that the noise produced by the engine has actually increased in volume. Last week, my wife borrowed the car for two days and filled it with £60 worth of diesel from a non-Morrisons station. I am now curious whether the decrease in noise was due to the Redex additive or the use of different diesel. It is interesting to note that the noise increased again after refilling with diesel from Morrisons. In all honesty, I believe I may be too meticulous since I am not experiencing any issues with the vehicle's operation. There is no smoke during startup or regular operation, and only a little quantity is emitted for a brief while when I engage the kickdown. I will update you all on the efficacy of BG244 in approximately one week. To achieve optimal results, it must be used in stop-start or short journey scenarios, as I have been informed. I must mention that when I added BG244 to my fuel tank, it had a highly distinctive solvent-like odour and a semi-oil consistency, unlike any other product I have used.
  8. After adding a whole bottle of Redex snake oil to my diesel tank when it was half full, I drove largely short distances with breaks. I then refilled the tank halfway and repeated the process. As a result, the Redex has now been completely utilised throughout the system. I have seen a significant disparity in the ticking sound. In fact, I can confidently state that the sound was initially a tapping noise. Currently, I only experience a ticking noise during the engine's warm-up phase, and it diminishes considerably after the engine is completely warmed up. I have just purchased a bottle of BG 244 diesel injector cleaning, which was somewhat expensive. After extensively searching the internet, I have found that this product has a large and enthusiastic fan base. I have not come across any discussions that criticise its performance; in fact, all the threads I found unanimously praise its effectiveness and confirm that it lives up to its claims. Typically, I am rather cautious about spending money on products that are often referred to as ineffective remedies. However, even the Redex fuel additive seems to have had a noticeable impact. The previously observed emissions of smoke during acceleration have vanished, and the engine now operates noticeably more smoothly. I intended to use Sea Foam in my vehicle, but I was deterred by the YouTube videos showing automobiles emitting white smoke from their exhaust pipes. Has anybody have any firsthand experience with either BG244 or Sea Foam?
  9. Thank you, everyone. I will try using Liqui Moly and see the outcome.
  10. Greetings once again, I have came across several discussions on the ticking/tapping sounds originating from the upper section of the w210 straight six diesel engines. I have a similar noise in my vehicle. It occurs when the engine is cold and seems to diminish while the engine is under strain, only to reoccur when the throttle is balanced. The noise does not appear to vary in pitch or speed in relation to the engine's RPM. I have recently performed the B service on my own, using Q8 synthetic oil, a new oil filter, diesel filter, and a new air filter. The ticking noise persists, but it is not as prominent. I find it rather bothersome, while I acknowledge that it is a minor annoyance considering the excellent performance of the vehicle. It is perplexing because the noise disappears when the car's hood is open, making it difficult to pinpoint its source. Thank you
  11. I am unable to access those private messages. If someone receives a suspicious message that seems to be a scam, please report it or forward it to me, and I will take the necessary steps to delete it. In addition, I verify the user's Internet Service Provider (ISP) and often find that it corresponds to another account. Consequently, I proceed to block both accounts. Would you want me to remove the thread?
  12. Although I have not encountered or come across this information before, I can envision its veracity. This assistant is the most unsatisfactory I have ever had.
  13. Prior to removing the drain plug, it is necessary to remove the filler plug.
  14. Do not expect a "Aussie suspension tune" very soon. They independently pursue their own strategies, regardless of the specific brand they belong to, across the southern hemisphere. I acquired knowledge about this topic from the Genesis GV-70 forum some years ago.
  15. I have made a purchase of this particular item. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07JFRFJG6/ref=pe_27063361_485629781_TE_item
  16. I appreciate the responses from everyone.
  17. I own a BMW X3 F25 3.0d from 2013 and I am interested in purchasing a diagnostic tool mostly for the purpose of reading fault codes and live data. Could you please provide some recommendations?
  18. I anticipate that you will expend time and financial resources without successfully resolving the issue. I recommend considering the option of transporting the automobile to a nearby independent Mercedes-Benz specialist who has the necessary diagnostic tool called Star. If you have access to someone who can assist you with this, it might potentially be a more cost-effective solution. Alternatively, consider reaching out to nearby automotive electricians and inquire about their expertise in diagnosing and resolving issues related to an SL roof.
  19. Could a high fan speed indicate a voltage issue? Have you inspected all the fuses and grounding connections? Battery voltage refers to the electrical potential difference across a battery, which is measured in volts. Charging voltage, on the other hand, is the specific voltage required to charge a battery and restore its energy levels.
  20. Any attempt at fixing the issue is likely to seem unsatisfactory or inadequate....purchase the pre-owned one.
  21. I must concur that I have not had any difficulties while entering an automobile. However, as the years pass, exiting the vehicle becomes more challenging. Have a pleasurable experience.
  22. Indeed. I get the reasons behind the underperformance of those 1 turbo diesel engines. Engines with a capacity of 2 litres tend to have a longer lifespan compared to 3-liter diesel engines equipped with 2 turbochargers. This is mostly due to the fact that these engines were designed for distinct purposes and operate under varying workloads. Individuals who purchase 18d and 20d engines do so with the intention of acquiring a fuel-efficient means of transportation. Conversely, those who choose for 300bhp engines are often seeking a dynamic and high-speed driving experience. This rationale applies to both diesel and petrol engines. Based on the dependability rankings I have seen, BMW is ranked last, with the M5 being one of the least reliable models.
  23. Is this issue still occurring, even with the introduction of new models? I am experiencing frequent malfunctions with my e92 335d, primarily caused by the utilisation of inexpensive hoses and plastics. This leads me to question whether BMW intentionally incorporates these unreliable materials, which are susceptible to failure under conditions of high heat, vibration, and mechanical stress, with the knowledge that they will inevitably break down. Are they engaging in this behaviour to ensure their dealerships continue to generate revenue from post-sale transactions, or is there another motive behind their actions? They have been involved in the car manufacturing industry for a significant period, gaining expertise in proper procedures and selecting durable materials that can outlast others by 5-10 times. However, when I heard the CEO of BMW stating that the company's focus would shift towards reducing costs and maximising profits, rather than prioritising unit sales (which Mercedes-Benz surpassed), it confirmed their strategy of selling attractive cars with inexpensive mechanical components. People mostly choose BMW vehicles for its rich legacy, exhilarating sport driving experience, and exceptional engineering. However, it is worth noting that BMW's quality and dependability scores are very low. I am questioning whether it is intentional that I am convinced there should be complaints and a revolt from the owners. It is noteworthy that even Hyundai or Kia, once considered inferior, are currently leading the market. Therefore, if they can achieve success, I am confident that German car manufacturers can as well. However, it appears that they have ulterior motives, as evidenced by the gas emissions case. The actions of BMW, with their cars consistently failing, demonstrate a blatant disreg
  24. Upon reading this, I am really questioning if BMW intentionally incorporates inexpensive, unreliable materials in their cars that are susceptible to failure under the consistent conditions of heat, vibration, and mechanical stress, fully aware that they would likely malfunction in the near future. Are they engaging in this behaviour to ensure that their dealerships continue to generate revenue from post-sale transactions, or is there another motive behind their actions? They have been involved in the car manufacturing industry for a significant period of time, gaining expertise in producing vehicles that are built to high standards and using durable materials that can outlast their competitors by 5-10 times. However, my confidence in their approach was shaken when I heard the CEO of BMW state that the company's focus would shift towards cost reduction and maximising profits, rather than prioritising unit sales (especially after being surpassed by Mercedes-Benz ) People mostly choose BMW vehicles for its rich legacy, exhilarating sport driving experience, and exceptional engineering. However, it is worth noting that BMW's quality and dependability scores are quite low compared to other brands. I am questioning whether it is intentional that I am convinced there should be complaints and rebellion from the owners. Even Hyundai or Kia, once considered inferior, are now leaders in the industry. If they can achieve success, I believe Germans can as well. However, it seems that they have ulterior motives, as evidenced by the gas emissions case. The actions of BMW, with their cars consistently failing, are simply a display of ignorance that should not be tolerated.
