The M102 8-valve 1.8 and 2.0 cylinder heads are identical, however the 2.3 is distinct. It seems that yours has already been skimmed. It is hard to ascertain from the images, but it seems rather acceptable in the typical location—between the cylinder and the coolant passage—although the reasons for the skimming are evident. The issue is that individuals fail to repair head gaskets promptly, allowing them to leak for extended periods, which results in corrosion of the alloy head (and the 'steam cleaning' you have seen!). In summary, it seems that the prior head gasket installation was subpar, perhaps including an excessive skim to eliminate corrosion. A replacement head or alloy welding with a little skim would have been more advantageous. A new Elring head gasket set, along with likely new head bolts, should suffice. The fasteners seem to be loosening in the rear, and/or cylinders 3 and 4 are experiencing elevated temperatures for many reasons. What is the mileage, and whose vehicle is this regarding?

The symptom, if the dash warning light exhibits similar behaviour, indicates a distorted signal from the reluctor rings. May result from corroded or fractured rings, as well as tyre discrepancies in size or pressure. Alternatively, a defective brake light switch may require the application of the brake before initiating movement.

Negative - they possess no magnetism to forfeit. Their purpose is to finalise a magnetic circuit.

Attributing failure to the sensors when the scanner only displays improbable signals is unreasonable. Which does not necessarily indicate sensor failure. Do the warning lights activate upon key-on or only when the vehicle is in motion?

Your assumption is not enclosed in quotation marks?

Enclosed with quote marks, probably as interpreted by the scanner.

S212 Coolant depleted from washer reservoir?

One can simply connect the hoses for a rapid emergency repair. -
S212 Coolant depleted from washer reservoir?
SD1too replied to Doncaster34's topic in General Car Chat
If the metal pipes are indeed present leading to the screenwash reservoir, you have the choice for heating. The coolant circulates across the pipe, preventing the screenwash from freezing. It appears to have developed a leak from the metal tubing. I do not remember ever encountering one on a 212. Previously prevalent on 211 -
I consistently operate my vehicle in sport mode, although the battery remains at approximately 30-35% capacity. Even during extended journeys.

2007 W639 111 CDI crankshaft position fault code
SD1too replied to BENZE220AMG's topic in General Car Chat
Typically, the reverse is true; warm temperatures lead to failures, whereas cold conditions remain stable. However, as previously said, it is most likely due to a failure of one of the sensors -
2016 W213 E-Class microphone is very silent.
SD1too replied to norbury.brook's topic in General Car Chat
I am uncertain, but when I vacuumed both of my vehicles last year, I inadvertently discovered a significant amount of blue fluff emanating from a nearby air conditioning temperature sensor. I understand that this may not be equivalent to a microphone aperture, but for five minutes of effort, it is worth attempting. -

Consider attaching a hoover nozzle if it has apertures. May be obstructed by debris -
You may ascertain the appropriate component number by entering your VIN on realoem.com.

Typically, BMW fans may be easily replaced by simply detaching a few clips or fasteners and removing them. The fans for petrol and diesel engines are distinct on realoem.com; thus, I conclude that it is not a straight replacement.

Comprehended. Wishing you a swift recovery.

Here is a valuable suggestion. One month prior to your MOT, replace your most deteriorated tire at KwikFit and use their complimentary brake assessment. Schedule the MOT with them subsequent to their brake assessment. It seems improbable that they will retract the complimentary test during the MOT process. Moreover, should they identify a defect in your brakes, it gives you enough time to rectify the issue before to your MOT.

My 14-year-old 318d was scheduled for its MOT this month. I found no apparent issues but was anxious when delivering it to the MOT test facility. An hour later, I received a phone call; the technician said, "it passed with flying colours." It required no modifications or recommendations. This is an excellent outcome that demonstrates the high quality of BMW's manufacturing of the 3 Series.

Inquiry Regarding S211 E280 LED Interior Lighting
SD1too replied to BENZE220AMG's topic in General Car Chat
Encountered the same issue with the LED reversing lights on the CLK. Three distinct sets were ineffective. Install the final units in 190B Ponoton, which exhibit no more luminosity than the original bulbs. To maintain your sanity, refrain from engaging. -
2007 W211 E320 CDI, noise from 7G-speed gearbox
SD1too replied to Needsnewtyres2's topic in General Car Chat
Inspect the engine mounts and gearbox mount, since their age may contribute to the noise; this is how I resolved the issue with my W211 E280. -
Fidelity Gold - Magride repair completed! magnetic suspension system
SD1too replied to alabbasi's topic in General Car Chat
what are you referring to? We have already discussed this; Fidelity will cover the cost of replacing the OEM mag rides with your Nagengast suspension. -
One would expect an individual at the dealership to approach a technician who participated in the product training course for the repair of a C-HR PHEV.
-
I believe this is a second-generation C-HR PHEV model, and if I recall correctly, the traction battery is positioned underneath the car.

Indeed, it is necessary to use AGM batteries in vehicles specifically designed for AGM technology to ensure a satisfactory lifespan. Could you provide a more detailed description of the fitting issue, or provide an image?
