  1. I deemed this one to be the most exquisite. It is constructed from metal rather than plastic, and its thin design minimises obstruction of your license plate.
  2. They own the key; nevertheless, for £35, I hope it proves to be more durable than the eBay alternative, since the force required for insertion damaged the eBay key.
  3. At some time, a locking wheel bolt has been excessively tightened. Consequently, I have misplaced the locking wheel key. I purchased a non-genuine locking wheel nut key from eBay, and the effort required to turn it severely damaged the key. The response on the eBay profile was mostly good, with several thousand keys sold. Is there any information on the strength of authentic BMW locking wheel nut keys? I prefer not to squander funds that may be allocated to a garage capable of removing them. Once removed, it will be replaced with standard bolts. Additionally, is it advisable to use an unlocker spray before takeoff?
  4. Consider three varieties of grommets; a visual representation of their locations would be beneficial.
  5. Yes, I have enquired, but they do not seem to own it.
  6. Yes. if they are less expensive elsewhere.
  7. I need a comprehensive steering hose system for my 2010 E-Class 350 A207. Do you have any suggestions for a place to get one?
  8. Perhaps grasping at straws, but did you let it to remain for an hour before adjusting your pressures? It is advisable to establish them in a chilly state. Continuously monitor for any authentic air loss, since it may occur during a tire replacement if there is rust on the rear of the rim obstructing a proper seal.
  9. Request breakdown help or continue driving until the notification reappears, then contact for breakdown assistance. This has been referenced several times in this discussion; nonetheless, here it is for your convenience: 00800 17777777
  10. I believe I registered for Nav updates alerts via the Naviextras website. I cannot recall the precise method I used, but it was certainly unrelated to the Toolbox. Enquire with your dealer, as they may elucidate the process for registering for these alerts.
  11. I do, but, they consistently lag many weeks behind the updates on the Naviextras website.
  12. According to Mazda's specs, it should be possible to get a battery with much more capacity that can fit into the available area. Conduct internet research on many battery manufacturers and dealers. The Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) of the typical battery in the USA is insufficient at 525. Choose a battery with a minimum Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) rating of 650, according to the US standard. My device malfunctioned in January 2024, after about one year and five months, due to a prolonged period of very low temperatures in New Jersey. Additionally, please verify whether there are any devices that use the battery's power, such as a dashcam that remains operational even when the vehicle is not in use.
  13. When faced with circumstances like yours, it is sometimes essential to first restore the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to its original equipment (OE) image and then proceed with diagnosing the issue.
  14. Retrieve information by doing a search using the Google search engine. These items can certainly be found...
  15. If you want to make a wise investment in a reliable scan tool, I highly recommend considering Ross-Tech: Home. They provide the only instrument that is really effective, and they provide worldwide shipping. These individuals have successfully deciphered the VAG codes, making these VCDS scanners on par with the original factory equipment. The faults can only be identified by doing a thorough scan of the automobile. Otherwise, you will waste a significant amount of money by replacing components unnecessarily.
  16. Is the OBD port often located under the flap in the driver's side footwell?
  17. Do you have any insights on the SRS light illuminating and staying on after a battery has been drained or disconnected? Is it possible to delete codes using inexpensive OBD diagnostic units and phone applications?
  18. I only use my W140 vehicle on a monthly basis for a 300-mile round trip to my workplace. However, when I recently relocated over the weekend to clean it before this month's excursion, I discovered that the battery was entirely depleted. I attempted to use a power pack as well as attempted to jumpstart the device using a spare battery, but both methods were ineffective. Consequently, I proceeded to recharge the battery. The battery, which was installed in 2023, does not seem to be the cause of the issue. However, I did observe that it never fully charges throughout the recharging process. After a duration of around 3 to 4 hours, I attempted to start it and it functioned well, although with the SRS light on. Yesterday, I attempted to relocate my car in order to refuel it, as I planned to use it for my work commute the following day. However, I encountered the issue of a depleted battery once again. Fortunately, I had a spare battery that was identical to the original, so I replaced it and successfully started the car. However, the SRS light remains illuminated and does not turn off, even after running the car for a duration of five minutes. I assume that there may be a parasitic drain on the battery originating from an unknown source, resulting in the battery being discharged. Could you kindly provide your insights on this matter, as well as any information on the SRS light? Thank you.
  19. I am also present here. An excellent, hassle-free alternative for upkeep. 👌
  20. The turbo will create greater pressure than the crankcase, thus it is important to inspect the rubber elbow below for any cracks. In the case of the m57, it is known to break at that location and cause oil to spray over the alternator.
  21. Oil found underneath the intake manifold and in the starting region is often the result of leaks caused by worn swirl flaps or failing seals on the deletion plugs. However, the source of the oil remains unknown. The condensed crankcase vapour has entered the intake tract via the breather and has been distributed throughout the turbo, intercooler, and manifold. Both kinds of breathers become inefficient when the engine accumulates mileage and blowby occurs, leading to the entry of gases into the crankcase. If I were attempting to address the underlying source of the leak, I would consider installing a catch can.
  22. Yes, your engine is an early version, thus it has a 45-degree configuration. However, in later models, like the N47D20C, the configuration was modified.
