  1. As already said. Valves typically have a long lifespan, but the presence of old soapy water might indicate a leak.
  2. I would recommend adding new gasoline to the vehicle after it has been lying idle for three years, particularly if it contains E10.
  3. After thoroughly examining the topic, it seems that a potential problem might be the deteriorating condition of both my alternator and voltage regulator. Another module is the IBS module. Both scenarios would result in electrical complications that the automobile would not like - what are your thoughts?
  4. Although I did not precisely test those features, the central locking, interior door lighting, and alarm systems all operated correctly.
  5. I was expecting to take a more aggressive approach rather than passively waiting for the next disappointment.It may have a latency of up to one year
  6. Approximately one year ago, the automobile failed me. Upon pressing the start button, there was no response or action. We contacted the breakdown service, and upon their arrival, the technician requested me to showcase the issue - at this point, the automobile unexpectedly resumed functioning. After recharging the battery, I proceeded on. There were no indicators or signals of caution. Yesterday, I had the same problem where there were no warning signs, just the typical start-up process followed by silence while pressing the start button. On this occasion, I patiently waited for just 30 minutes, and to my delight, the engine started and the radio began playing. Typically, when my battery is low, the audio becomes muted. She has been functioning properly since, and as a precautionary measure, I have connected the battery charger. I connected the OBD scanner and it detected 2 problems. The A0B3 CAS is experiencing a failure in the Starter Motor Terminal 50 and the LM voltage. I find this situation unsettling and I may draw certain inferences, since this is not a function that I want for my BMW, considering that I use it on a regular basis. 1) The possible cause might be the battery, however it was installed in January 2022, so it is not considered old. 2) Mechanically, there are no issues. The starting motor functions properly and the vehicle starts without any problems, as it has done during its whole lifespan, including today, save for these two separate occurrences. 3) Fuses must be undamaged due to point 2 Therefore, I am faced with the possibility that either the battery is the issue or there is some type of sporadic malfunction in the CAS system. I would appreciate suggestions about the next steps to take in order to isolate this problem. Thank you in advance
  7. To get the most accurate information, it is recommended to connect an ammeter in series with the battery. This will provide you with information on current events and their respective timings. The problem may occur sporadically. If not, then you may have a defective alternator (which is intermittent) or a defective battery. There are few additional options available.
  8. It is necessary to verify whether the electrical systems of your automobile enter a state of 'sleep mode' within a time frame of 10 to 15 minutes after the car is locked. You may own an object that consistently consumes energy. Occasionally, it is features such as power seats that are responsible. Another potential issue might be the alarm system. Typically, the internal rechargeable battery tends to fail after a few years, causing it to use more power than necessary. Identifying the exact reason might be a tedious process that involves removing fuses and using an ammeter to monitor the battery depletion. The ammeter should be connected in series with either the positive or negative battery connection. If the auto systems experience a shutdown, the power drain should be below 30mA. If the power drain remains excessive, begin removing fuses until you identify the problematic circuit.
  9. The one shared by the original poster (OP) is manufactured by the Topgear brand. I own their whole exhaust system, extending from the downpipe to the rear, and it exhibits commendable quality. The automobile has had it installed for a duration of three years without any grievances. The item was fitted at the factory and the stainless steel material remains in pristine condition. Regarding the sound, it significantly enhances the exhaust note and produces a deep and resonant sound when the valves are open. Without being too boisterous. Regrettably, the price has significantly increased, since I originally spent about £2050 (~$2500 at the time) for the whole system.
  10. Will the state alter or disappear if you slightly lower the windows individually? It is worth attempting anything.
  11. Which tyres are currently installed on the vehicle?
  12. The grinding noise is caused by the detachment of one of the shafts from the differential, resulting in a loss of drive.
  13. He provided them with a favourable deal...I just had my automobile repaired to get a blacked-out appearance.
  14. Thank you for the information, everyone. Please refer to the text below.The factory Audi Setup seems to exceed the 5% threshold, but the generally used combination exceeds 6.24%. It is possible that there is an error margin, considering the superior knowledge of Audi engineers compared to mine.I will proceed with my current configuration and inform all of you about the outcome.My vehicle, a 2017 Base model, will not be lowered.Please verify the figures, although I believe they are accurate. The front tyres have a size of 245/30/20, while the rear tyres have a size of 305/30/20. These tyre sizes are the ones originally installed by Audi. The difference in diameter between the front and rear tyres is 5.50%. The front tyres have a size of 245/35/20, while the rear tyres have a size of 305/30/21. The difference in diameter between the front and rear tyres is 5.43%. The front tyres have a size of 255/35/20, while the rear tyres have a size of 305/30/21. The difference in diameter between the front and rear tyres is 4.36%. The front tyres have a size of 255/35/20, while the rear tyres have a size of 315/30/21. The difference in diameter between the front and rear tyres is 5.23%. The front tyres have a size of 245/30/20, while the rear tyres have a size of 325/30/21. Difference in diameter: 11.21% The front tyres have a size of 245/35/20, while the rear tyres have a size of 325/30/21. The difference in diameter between the front and rear tyres is 7.20%. The front tyres have a size of 255/35/20, while the rear tyres have a size of 325/30/21. I have decided to choose the following option: the difference in diameter is 6.10%. The front tyres have a size of 245/30/20, while the rear tyres have a size of 325/25/21. This combination is often used. Difference in diameter: 6.24%
  15. Greetings, everyone...I bought the Signature Forged SV310s in 20/21 from Fasthawk on this forum.I want to have all of them repainted in Gloss Black and install red fasteners on the back. Specifications: 20x9 with an offset of ET32. The dimensions of the object are 21 inches in width, 12 inches in height, and have an offset of 32 millimetres. I have a question... 1) I have heard that if I raise the size of the tyre sidewall uniformly, I should anticipate the failure of the rear differential bearing.Expanding the tyre size to 245/35/20 and either 305 or 325/30/21...In my previous 2015 R8, I successfully enlarged the dimensions of the walls on my 20" ADV1 wheels without encountering any problems. However, my luck took a turn for the worst when I was struck by a drunk motorist who ran a red light while travelling at a speed of 35 miles per hour.What are your opinions or reflections on this matter?I prefer the use of larger sidewalls to reduce the potential hazards posed by the poor road conditions in Houston and to limit the amount of noise that enters the cabin of the vehicle. All feedback is highly valued and welcomed.
  16. As the adage goes, whether it comes to sensors, such as BMW sensors or branded aftermarket ones like Bosch, buying cheap will result in having to purchase again in the future.
  17. Amazon offers a wide range of "stick on" Head-Up Displays (HUDs). They seem to have varied evaluations yet are priced at merely a few pounds. It may be advantageous to examine.
  18. Would flats that are not run be compatible with the same rim? May I get same dimensions?
  19. I am seeking assistance from a someone with expertise. I am aware that some 20-inch tyres provide enhanced protection for the rims, since they are more recessed and projecting, resulting in less damage to the rims. I have seen similar rim designs on other 20-inch tyres. I lack knowledge on the many metrics and the specific size required to do this. Instead of purchasing new rims, I prefer to get standard tyres that are compatible with my existing rims, namely those with a bigger wall diameter compared to the present rims (275/40 R20 for the front and 315/35 R20 for the rear). Do you have any suggestions for tyres (except flat tyres) that might do this? If the rims are not run flats, would it be necessary to use other rims?
  20. The 1920s seem to be rather appealing. Is it possible to retain such tyres, which would also be more cost-effective, instead of opting for tyres with a thicker wall thickness that provide more rim protection?
  21. Greetings, I own a 2010 x5 E70 diesel engine with 20-inch wheels. It is acknowledged that the vehicle has the capacity to take tyres of varying sizes. I need guidance on the optimal options to acquire, given my residence in a region characterised by poor topography and concrete roadways that often exhibit fissures and descend several inches to the ground (resulting in severe scraping, which is inevitable). Presently, my car is equipped with 275/40 R20 tyres on the front and 315/35 R20 tyres on the rear. However, the vehicle also utilises 275/45 R20 tyres on the front and 305/40 R20 tyres on the rear. I presume that the latter would be more suitable for my needs since it has a wider diameter and a higher profile. Are these tyres interchangeable, since I also own a spare tyre with the specifications 275/45 R20? Uncertain on the course of action, I would really value any guidance. If I were to replace one of the front tyres with the spare tyre I have (275/45 R20) or if I were to have two 275/45 R20 tyres in the front (which I presume correspond to the other rear sizes) while leaving the 315/35 R20 tyre on the back, it is likely that the drivetrain would experience strain. If I were to get tyres with rims that are more internally positioned and safeguarded, I have observed this feature on other automobiles. Thank you and best regards, PS: Additionally, I have contemplated the possibility of replacing the run-flat tyres. Any suggestions in this regard would be appreciated, although it may need the purchase of new rims.
  22. I recently ventured out into the darkness to retrieve my Autel scanner, hoping that I had saved the codes. Unfortunately, this was not the case. I find it frustrating because the code seems familiar, but when researching it, I see that it is not what I first thought. I informed my vehicle that it had a new Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), then proceeded to drive on the divided highway while monitoring the exhaust temperatures and observing the regeneration process. I believe I also made an additional request for regeneration around one week later as a precautionary step. Has been consistently effective since May 23rd.
  23. Was the automobile informed about the installation of a new DPF? The number 480 seems familiar, but I am uncertain. It may be a code that indicates the need for a replacement Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) after a certain period of time. Indeed, I had the item and informed the vehicle of its presence, prompting the vehicle to resume the regeneration process. Subsequently, no issues were encountered.
