Here are a few pictures of it -
Greetings everyone, My Vgate iCar Pro 2S scanner is unable to communicate with any of the modules in my 2005 Mini Cooper S (R53) due to a no-communication problem. Basically, I've tried everything that's commonly used for this. The splices under the seats appear to be fine, but I saw some strange, non-factory splices under the glovebox that make me dubious. Just wanted to reach out and see if anyone has dealt with a similar dead-bus/no-communications issue and could give me some pointers. What I've tested—the lengthy version The scanner connects without a hitch, however neither the ECU nor the ABS will respond. Specifically, I was looking at the diagnostic bus, which is the violet/white cable. In order to eliminate any potential problems, I unplugged each module on that line individually. This includes the power steering pump (EHPS), which I have verified to be OK. Concerning the electrics: The power is flowing into the OBD port. The integrity of the wire connecting pin 7 to the ECU ensures proper continuity. Since there is no continuity between pin 7 and the ABS connector, I will have to address the possibility of a broken bus branch leading to the ABS. No signs of corrosion or pins that have been bent or pushed back are seen on the ABS connector. To further exclude them, I additionally disconnected a few of more components: BCM—removed, all connections appear to be in fine working order. Turned off radio entirely. And the connections: Looked under both seats; everything seemed to be in order. I discovered some strange, non-factory splices behind the glovebox, and they make me suspect. Please let me know if you have any insights. I am grateful.

Unforgiving noise and vibrations from the W204 C220 CDI AMG Sport

See the back subframe up close and personal while you're down there. -
My 212 snapped in half the second I tried to use my jack on it. I wouldn't recommend it because of the price of the wrong jack.

Why isn't the washer fluid going where it should?
DenishP4 replied to Gianni682's topic in General Car Chat
Though I would have preferred a more uniformly saturating mist (for the front and back, particularly that stream for the back glass), it's actually quite passable. In addition to double-checking spirod's suggestion, I would just extend the duration of the wiper spray anytime you are travelling at a greater pace. On a purely anecdotal basis, I think it makes a noticeable difference to lightly tap the brakes while travelling at highway speeds and to spray washer fluid to ensure better saturation. (At least for many of these newer vehicles that want to conceal the wipers beneath the hood to the extent that you have to switch them to service mode to bring them up) The washer fluid spray installed on the wiper bars themselves is a brilliant design. The washer fluid spray on the new Palisade is permanently mounted below the windscreen, so it barely reaches the top portion of the window either parked or driving. -

I see your perspective. For turning the tires, I already have one and a torque wrench. -

Is the whistling or whining sounds in the Sportage HEV normal?
DenishP4 replied to rab60bit88's topic in General Car Chat
I experience tinnitus, so if the sound is high-pitched, it may be obscuring it. -
If you possess a steel space saver spare, the shorter bolts required for its installation are typically included with the vehicle and are generally located in the styrofoam holder that accommodates the jack, wheel wedge, and warning triangle.

Ultimately, the outcome will largely hinge on the specific elements you intend to reset and the financial resources you are prepared to allocate. I state this as I have lately acquired a diagnostic tool from Foxwell, after conducting considerable research. All prominent brands are manufactured in China, although they differ in the systems they permit access to or allow for reset. Upon reviewing your prior post, it appears you may already possess a diagnostic tool. Most websites provide a "compatibility" checker; however, it is essential to review the fine print to see whether it will "actuate"—that is, send instructions to the malfunctioning unit—or merely reset or eliminate the code. - often promoted as "bi-directional" I ultimately chose a Foxwell GT60, as I required a device to reset the DPF. I saved much by ordering it through AliExpress without encountering any problems. Nevertheless, it remains positioned beneath the tree; I cannot ascertain its functionality in reality. (an update will be posted!) - I initially intended to select the NT650 Elite, which is also indicated as compatible with your Carens.

This capability is unavailable in Europe, likely due to legal constraints. In other markets, it is included in Mazda's Connected Services.

The vacuum pump operates the locks and massage seats, while the hydraulic pump controls the roof and trunk.

The SL63 AMG is stored for winter; nonetheless, I recall from the handbook that the roof and windows may deactivate in freezing conditions to prevent seal damage. Or did I merely fabricate that in my mind?

I acknowledge your issue; but, at present, that is the sole manual I am aware of that provides coverage. By joining the 'official' club, the Mercedes-Benz Club, members gain access to the Mercedes-Benz Workshop Information System (WIS) and the Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC), which are the same resources utilised by the dealer network. Mercedes-Benz permits this exclusively to one 'official' club in each country.

The handbook can be ordered online from the Haynes website; refer to the link below.

It is uncertain if this information will be beneficial, but when my MAF sensor was offline due to a missing fuse, a prominent characteristic was difficult upshifts. If your vehicle is an automatic and you are encountering the same issue, it likely indicates a malfunctioning MAF sensor. - presuming that MB configures the transmission ECU to default to elevated line pressures in the absence of MAF sensor data, as observed in my 4L 80E.

Acquiring further knowledge regarding BMW maintenance

Petroleum and H2O. Change the oil more frequently than the suggested interval. Subsequently, conduct a search on Google for the remaining aspects. -
I have a Fitcam scheduled for tomorrow. The video quality may be suboptimal, but I aim to get some form of documentation in the event of a problem, and I like that it preserves an OEM appearance.

I have just purchased the BM6 from AliExpress for £17.42 and am eager to test it.
