  1. It is advisable to post that in a different thread.
  2. Aftermarket wheels typically require different bolts; I experienced this with a W211 while transitioning from aftermarket to OEM, resulting in the bolts being too short. Essentially, the opposite of your actions. Visit a wheel or tire establishment; they should possess bolts available for purchase.
  3. For a preliminary assessment, I purchased an inexpensive device from eBay. It functioned effectively with the use of diesel. It is a 12-volt heater/smoke generating unit, and I utilised my Ryobi tyre inflator to apply pressure.
  4. I am unfamiliar with the allen key technique. Is this rotating back and forth to loosen it? I would apply Plusgas over several days of thermal cycles, then thereafter attempt to release it while the engine is heated.
  5. Preliminary assessment? Although the code does not indicate it, inspecting the EGR for unobstructed movement is not challenging. Annual cleaning and soaking in Plusgas is prudent maintenance for these. Regrettably, nothing apparent arises, since the turbo actuator is undergoing self-testing satisfactorily.
  6. The service intervals were determined by marketing initiatives rather than engineering considerations. They determined that servicing might be extended to approximately 15-18k without incurring significant claims on the 100k warranty. In actuality, even contemporary and entirely synthetic oils deteriorate. The pivotal threshold for the majority of engine oils occurs at approximately 6,000 miles or more. By 12,000, they are all essentially exhausted. I cannot remember the source of the study links (perhaps Bob is the oil expert), but there has been an investigation of used engine oils indicating that a significant reduction was observed at the 6,000-mile mark.
  7. Hello, I exported this E39 525 IS to France and am currently restoring it to optimal condition.
  8. Are you certain that is the accurate part number? Partsouq displays multiple options, and given the year division in 2012, is it possible that an older item was installed in that vehicle?
  9. The DPF fault is merely coincidental; it activated thereafter and will remain an active information code until the vehicle is informed that the DPF has been replaced. Indeed, the connection to the valve is the component that requires inspection. What is the resistance of the glow plug, and have you verified that the wiring to it has not been obstructed during the rocker cover installation?
  10. Which brand of EGR have you installed? Have you removed the plastic cover to ascertain if it operates smoothly? It is also advisable to examine the plug, as I have encountered instances of damaged pins. The DPF indicates that the DOF has reached the end of its operational life, as per BMW's assessment; it is merely a software feature activated at a specific mileage threshold. You can resolve that by indicating that the DPF is new using diagnostics. It appears that the glow plug in cylinder one has failed. The DPF sensor may be functioning accurately, however the EGR valve could be partially open when it should not be, resulting in a decrease in exhaust pressure.
  11. No matter how proficiently you drive or how cautious you are, there are sufficient individuals on the road eager to endanger you. I desire a cautionary note on the video regarding the noise produced upon her crash. Somewhat unlike, yet akin to the Honda Jazz this morning, which traversed over 400 meters across a tram-exclusive bridge, disregarding around 20 signs prohibiting vehicular access before colliding.
