  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Hello, I exported this E39 525 IS to France and am currently restoring it to optimal condition.
  6. 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?
  7. 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?
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Here are few matters that may not be commonly discussed: The cabin lacks sufficient tranquilly. Road noise and motor noise become significantly pronounced during battery charging. In regular mode, it is quieter; however, it remains less silent than two distinct Audis I possess. The sunroof is not genuinely a sunroof. Opens only halfway and produces significant noise while driving. Fundamentally ineffectual. 2. Even with the Premium Plus trim, the daytime running lights and rear hatch lights are nonfunctional, unlike the inline-6 CX-90. The rear hatch section lights are essentially placeholders, which I have replaced with illuminated spare parts for the CX90; this was a plug-and-play task that took four hours. Additionally, the daytime running lights in the front are also placeholders. Daytime running lights are functional but lack the allure of the CX-90 inline-six. Examine cx70PPP and cx90inline6 to observe the distinction. 3.) As others have noted, dust infiltrates the door panels, albeit it may not enter the cabin. The "acceleration" from automatic deceleration in cruise control may induce whiplash and additionally consumes excess fuel by exerting full acceleration to regain cruise speed. 5.) While I value the drive modes such as 4WD, the vehicle feels excessively heavy, and the engine appears insufficient to propel it adequately. The battery appears to predominantly enhance fuel efficiency in normal mode, although I rarely exceed an average of 27 mpg. It depletes any charge as a priority before transitioning to a more balanced speed-based automatic changeover between petrol and battery. Running short distances in a coastal hamlet setting may yield significant advantages from EV mode. However, any form of highway driving will rapidly deplete the 26-mile battery range. These are my personal insights after possessing the 2025 PHEV Premium Plus for one year.
  11. I apologise for my oversight; I did not recognise the importance of that information. Perhaps you should consider reviewing it thoroughly.
