  1. Given the elevated pressures at which common rail diesel injectors function, how can blockage occur unless the injector is defective?
  2. Utilized three VIN decoders but found no information on the Comand version. How can I determine which version of 204 I possess?
  3. I own the subsequent system and most recent upgrade. Command system, map version 2012/2013 (V7.0) for Europe installed. Does the head unit's SD card port facilitate the installation or execution of the newest map? Where can I get the most recent version of the map? The vehicle is a W204 C220.
  4. They are inexpensive Chinese products; you will need to invest far more money for a quality scanner.
  5. I was provided with a 2025 CX-70 inline 6 loaner while my PHEV was in the shop for another hybrid malfunction mistake. This was the third occurrence of this problem, which happened before I even departed from the dealership, when the vehicle was merely brought in for an oil change and recall services. The CX-70 inline six loaner had superior ride and handling compared to the PHEV, and its gearbox consistently switched smoothly without the occasional confusion seen in the PHEV's gearbox. I lost trust in the PHEV and, finding the loaner enjoyable to drive, I exchanged it for a 2025 Turbo S PP. It performs and manoeuvres identically like the CX-70 loaner, and so far, the gearbox has switched seamlessly on every occasion.
  6. Apologies, it was specifically aimed at the original poster. I have performed oil changes alone during the years when JLR does not provide servicing. Two-year-old oil, particularly when mixed with diesel, is detrimental to engine performance. I have not observed any rise in oil level that would suggest excessive DPF regenerations.
  7. Is it worthwhile to remove one litre of oil, potentially containing 10% gasoline, in order to replace it with 500 millilitres of clean oil? The advantageous decrease in fuel percentage within the remaining oil will be minimal to the point of becoming insignificant. It would be prudent to extract all the oil and substitute it with new oil. The two-year intervals between services and oil changes were not conceived by engineers.
  8. Hi all My iDrive version is many releases out of date and therefore I am trying to upgrade it, which my vehicle cannot do remotely, so I need the update transferred to USB. However I cannot locate where to get this anywhere after following multiple links to BMW's main UK site from Google search results. Must I take this to the BMW dealership, or is it feasible for me to do the task independently? Thank you in advance for any assistance.
  9. I appreciated the Heated Windscreen on my Defender; it was my favourite feature, and I presently enjoy it on my Range Rover. I saw it far more on the Defender and cannot discern its presence on my RR. Perhaps it is only my perspective. I reside in the snow belt, making it very convenient to own. Activate it, and within one and a half minutes, all the snow and ice will be eliminated. If one does not reside in a region susceptible to snowfall, I see why excessive concentration on it while driving may be irritating.
  10. Prior to selling my 640d, which was eleven years old at the time, it had never experienced a failure. I am unconcerned if a vehicle encounters minor issues, such as with washer fluid or wipers. However, when considering the purchase of a car, I disregard those with a history of MOT failures, such as bald tyres, as these indicate a lack of meticulous ownership.
  11. It is peculiar if it still starts the vehicle.
  12. And I. I may have just purchased an endoscope. I have previously searched several apparent locations. I suspect I may have misplaced it behind the hood, but I have no certain assurance. I misplaced it the day before to our getaway while in the vehicle. Thank you, everyone!
  13. I misplaced my key fob inside the vehicle. BMW validated this in accordance with my assessments using the auxiliary fob. Unlock and initiate the vehicle, leave the extra key at home, and drive one mile away. Engine shuts off and restarts successfully. Does anybody have any valuable suggestions on potential sources to explore? Thus far, two mechanics have been unable to locate it. I believe I dropped it either on the back seat or under the hood, on the driver's side near the windscreen. Additional suggestions would be appreciated. Or a method to detect the object...
  14. Fortunately, you do not reside in the UK; otherwise, you would be enduring a prolonged wait. 🤢 🤣
