Thank you so much,ENVIOclev . I appreciate it. The right manifold has been well cleaned and is in excellent condition. It was simpler to work on compared to the m47. Although the bathtub was not cleaned, I was able to tidy it up before Mrs. returned. Indeed, the EGR system, including the cooler and the piping connecting the EGR cooler to the intake manifold, was severely obstructed. However, thorough cleaning has been performed, resulting in total removal of the blockage. The intake manifold is now 96% clean, with no visible carbon residue. Nonetheless, there may still be a small amount of carbon residue in hard-to-reach areas. The cars have all been rebuilt and are now idling. The temperatures are all at the correct levels, and there are no fault codes detected so far. Additionally, the cars are driving and sounding substantially improved. In terms of driving, it was previously smooth overall, but now it has become very responsive right from the start. It just feels and drives even better. There are no trouble codes. The engine seems to be operating well so far, with improved air intake and a more prominent turbo effect. I accessed Ista and performed a reset on the Maf. Additionally, I installed a new dpf, although the description provided is not accurate. I also carried out DPF modifications for both components. I spoke prematurely as the 480 is now functioning again. I plan to do diagnostic tests, but I believe it just requires being driven and demanding a regeneration process. I will assess its condition after that. There is no rough idle in the vehicle, and I have been driving it for 30 minutes. However, after installing a new diesel particulate filter (DPF), the automobile began to experience hesitation in terms of idling and required resetting of the adaption. I will provide an update on my progress whenever I get more information. Furthermore, I have not yet addressed the ports, which have accumulated a significant amount of residue. The valves also exhibit some build-up. However, the work I have completed so far has already resulted in a substantial improvement. However, as soon as I get some free time and the weather is somewhat good, I will absolutely start working on it, perhaps in the near future. The only item I want is a crank turning tool, since the one I now own seems to have four torques based on my first observation. I would like to mention that the counter pressure readings of my exhaust have decreased. The idle has decreased from 75 to 33, while the maximum value is 35. The rotational speed decreased from 150 to 111. The speed was reduced from around 350 to 251. The maximum value is 200. We are making progress in the correct way.

I have not thoroughly inspected the boost hoses or vacuum for leaks yet, but I will do so. Currently, I do not see any visible or audible abnormalities. However, I would need assistance in revving the engine while I do the inspection. Regarding the cleaning of the ports I believe I can handle it, following the method provided by George Auster on YouTube. Once I get the necessary equipment, such as a hoover and brushes, I will attempt it. 1) I would want to inquire if it is possible to determine whether the valves are closed by seeing the intake ports. When manually rotating the engine, is it necessary to return the engine to its original position after cleaning the ports, or can I just reassemble everything and go without any specific adjustments? Thank you for addressing the issue of any dirt and debris entering the ports. It is preferable to have little to no unwanted substances, such as muck, coming into the ports.

I have considered this possibility as I have recently begun utilising Ista and familiarising myself with it. I have conducted tests and attempted to perform regenerations. It is possible that I may have selected an option indicating that the diesel particulate filter (DPF) needed to be replaced, but I did not complete the procedure to indicate that a new one was installed, even though it is actually the same DPF. Therefore, I will attempt this step before resorting to physically removing the DPF and manually cleaning it. Regarding the 480 code, I would have expected the diesel particulate filter (DPF) to have been programmed in during 2019. However, I am uncertain. Once I have completed the intake repair, I will attempt to address the issue. Thank you for the guidance, NevoBMW320i👍👍👍

Greetings, individuals. I have a question about the intake manifold of a 2012 E91 318d. Essentially, I purchased the vehicle in January of this year with a mileage of 151,000. The timing chain and clutch were just replaced the week I got it. When I inquired about the problem with the chain, the seller informed me that it was making noise. The automobile performs well and exhibits smoothness in general. However, there is a problem with the engine's idle after it has been running for 10 minutes and is warm. After diagnosing the issue using Ista software, I have identified fault codes 480 and sometimes 480A, which indicate a blockage or clogging in the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). Plausibility of air mass to exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) ratio: 4862 Today, I received a 4D00 back pressure sensor. However, both the 4862 and 4D00 sensors indicate a negative response. While 480 always responds affirmatively, sometimes when deleting errors, they all disappear temporarily, but 480 always reappears after about 30 minutes. The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) was replaced in 2019, however I suspect it is not an authentic BMW part. Furthermore, it has accumulated a mere 40,000 kilometres. Currently, I am aware that there may be additional factors preventing the regeneration of the diesel particulate filter (DPF). I am systematically addressing these concerns by cleaning various components of the automobile. The MAF sensor was detached and treated with electrical cleaner, while the air box and piping were thoroughly cleaned. Initiate adaptations reset. The DPF back pressure sensor has been removed and cleaned, and the pipe connecting it to the manifold was previously obstructed but has now been cleared. The EGR cooler was severely obstructed, so I took it out and thoroughly cleaned it. As a result, the diagnostic tool currently indicates that it is 99.1% free from blockages. Today, I removed the pipework connecting the EGR cooler to the intake manifold. I discovered that it was heavily coated with carbon residue. I proceeded to clean the intake pipes, EGR to intake pipe, throttle body and the plastic pipe that connects to the intercooler boost hose using appropriate cleaning fluids. I also used electrical cleaner on any sensors. After thorough cleaning, everything is now ready to be reinstalled. However, upon inspecting the intake manifold, I have decided to remove I am unable to clean the intake ports because I lack the necessary tools, such as an endoscope to check if the valves are closed. However, I wonder if it would be sufficient to clean only the intake manifold and leave the intake ports untouched until I can find someone to perform the task for me. If I see any conspicuous fragments in the ports that appear prone to dislodging, I will cautiously attempt to extract them. However, if possible, I would want to refrain from handling the ports due to my lack of expertise and appropriate equipment. 1) If I proceed with removing the intake manifold, which I now feel obligated to do, would I be in a satisfactory condition? 2) If anybody is aware of a location where I can have a walnut blast performed on the intake ports, it would be much appreciated if you could provide that information. 3) Is it a significant problem if carbon falls down the port? Thank you in advance, gentlemen. I am now addressing the necessary tasks that need to be completed owing to distance and other factors. Concerning the problem I am experiencing with my vehicle, namely the issue of a rough idle and error code 480, I suspect that the cause might be a faulty Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, an exhaust back pressure sensor, or a clogged Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) that requires cleaning. Once I have completed the cleaning of the intake manifold and the replacement of the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor, my next task will be to address the potential issues with the MAF sensor, exhaust back pressure sensor, or DPF. After completing the intake manifold and dpf filter cleaning, I will proceed to replace sensors if the problem persists. Once again, any assistance provided would be much appreciated.

Carbon and its properties.

What is your identity? 12 and upset? There is no justification for such. You said comparable vehicles, my mistake for not reading the whole text. I cannot make a direct comparison between the XC40 and CX60. The difference in weight and the less powerful electric motor alone do not justify the XC40 being considered a suitable option starting at about $50,000. The cx60 is a superb automobile for the price. However, Hidepon demonstrated on YouTube yesterday that there are also issues with batteries. Mazda is attempting to deny the switch within the warranty period. Comparing my cx60 to other vehicles is meaningless due to the significant difference in battery quality, resulting in varying range and consumption for internal combustion engine and electric models. This impacts all plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and mild hybrid vehicles.

The XC60 starts at $69,000, while the top-tier CX60 is priced at roughly $55,000. MB is an other matter altogether and not a good value for the cost.

Your buddies have spent 30-40k more than you did, which is why they have a few more km on their CX60 than you have.

At a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a speed of 50 kilometres per hour, this device indicates a range of 94 km. No CX-60 model is capable of doing that on a single charge 🙂

I too experienced such a "rattling noise" in the engine compartment and suspected a loose connection of the exhaust. A marten had carefully placed stones in my engine area, causing them to rattle on the metal.

Is there a provision for this feature inside the Mazda Connect settings? Have you conducted an examination at that location? It is possible that the toggle switch is in the off position.

One of my closest acquaintances throughout high school own a Blue 75 Vega. We really enjoyed our experience in the vehicle. Subsequently seeing him after a considerable period of time, I inquired as to whether he retained possession of the aforementioned item, only to be disheartened by his negative response. According to the individual, they expressed a sentiment that they intended to retain possession of the automobile indefinitely. However, due to severe rusting, the car experienced structural failure, resulting in it splitting into two separate pieces. LoL

I previously had an 85 Chevrolet Sprint, which served as the precursor to the Geo Metro. I had a strong affinity with the automobile. The purchase was made at a cost of $400, as previously mentioned. I extensively used the aforementioned subject matter, and it shown remarkable resilience in response. A really achieved fuel efficiency of 50 miles per gallon. And that was with me operating the vehicle with great speed and urgency.

Which option is preferable: a 2.3 turbo engine or a 2.5 non-turbo engine? It is necessary to have access to a proficient scanning tool capable of monitoring PID's throughout the process of driving.

The numerical data provided does not align or correspond appropriately. If we assume that the battery capacity is around 75 Ah, it would need a much greater current of around 25A to completely discharge the battery within a time frame of 3 hours. The product of 11 amperes sustained over a period of 3 hours yields a total charge of 33 ampere-hours. As recommended, begin the process of sequentially removing fuses until the electrical drain ceases. Subsequently, this will enable identification of the specific circuit responsible for the issue, facilitating further investigation. The power output of 11A is about 140W, indicating that a component or system is likely experiencing a significant increase in temperature. The power output of 25A exceeds 300W.

Hello, does anybody know where mud flaps/splash protectors can be purchased? The Cx-60 is a model of car produced by a certain manufacturer.

It is advisable to use caution while modifying settings inside the menu interface. I successfully changed the display language of my dashboard to Italian, after encountering difficulties in reverting it back to English.

The engine in your vehicle is a 2.0L Diesel, whereas the engine in my vehicle is a 3.0L Diesel. Consequently, it is evident that there will be a discernible difference between the two. Since the purchase of the automobile in April of the current year, the computed data pertaining to gasoline purchases is as follows: The average miles per gallon (MPG) for a distance of 5289 miles is 34.95. In the last several months, the recorded distances travelled were as follows: September with a distance of 36.59 miles (466 miles), October with a distance of 38.18 miles (1237 miles), and November with a distance of 33.82 miles (808 miles). The current reading on the car's computer is 36.2. The primary factor contributing to the notable shift in October may be attributed to a familial union taking place in Carlisle, with our place of residence being Luton. I am uncertain about the specific methodology used by the car's computer in determining the miles per gallon (MPG), especially with regard to the temporal or mileage parameters included in the calculation. The information on this matter may perhaps be found inside the handbook; nevertheless, considering the brevity of life, it may not be worth the effort to search for it. Please feel free to formulate your own judgement; nonetheless, it seems that the car's computations exhibit a tiny tendency towards optimism. I appreciate your kind words. Similar to yourself, I am also retired and make an effort to maintain both physical and mental engagement. Greetings,

Are you extracting the data from the on-board computer? If that is the case, I would raise doubts about their precision. One practise that I adopted throughout my employment and management of business vehicles is the systematic recording of gasoline purchases, which includes documenting the miles at the time of each refuelling event, using a spreadsheet. Despite being retired, I continue to engage in this activity and consistently see a discernible variance between the numerical output provided by the vehicle's computer system and the calculations performed on a spreadsheet. Occasionally, this has considerable importance. Please refer to me as a person who engages in this activity, despite its potential negative connotations. It is important to note that a decrease in fuel efficiency may serve as an indication of underlying issues with the engine or braking system. This contribution is anticipated to be beneficial.

I have long held the belief that the selection of red turn signals was influenced by a regulatory framework in the United States. In the United States, a considerable number of European Union (EU) automobiles are equipped with red turn signals. I have always harboured a curiosity about the underlying reasons behind

Moisten a cloth with a solution of mild soap. The use of vinyl paint on leather creates a seal that impedes the absorption of feed into the leather. The accumulation of dirt and grit inside the creases of the leather might lead to potential harm over time.

Even genuine leather is dyed or coated with vinyl paint. The use of leather conditioner may not effectively condition the leather and may potentially exacerbate the accumulation of filth, leading to accelerated wear and tear of the material.

The desired engine is not available in the UK, since only the entry-level petrol specification is offered. Considering the increasing practicality of hybrids and electric vehicles, which have gained prominence in the Diesel market, it can be said that Mazda is now lagging around five years behind the prevailing market trend. Based on my inference, it seems that Mazda has a constrained global production capacity and has strategically determined that the demand for diesel vehicles in the United Kingdom is substantial enough to maintain their desired level of factory orders specifically for the CX5 model in the UK market.
