Upgrading the rear differential oil on a w212 E350 CDI
VVC-Geeza replied to Psychil's topic in General Car Chat
Yes, you did; it was my error. On two occasions, I have lifted my C55 using the differential, but each time, I have had to remove the metal heat sink, which is a major pain in and of itself. Rip the heat sink bolts, jack the car up one side, lower it back down, jack it under the differential and so on. The idea is clear. It hurts. -

Nice piece of writing, but please allow me to add anything. Loosen the filler plug before replenishing the diff fluid. -
Faults with the W205's Intermittent ESP and CPA

The plug-in costs £60. After the first plug-in, any further work will cost £95 per hour + VAT. -

You should get real batteries. Connecting it to a Xentry machine will allow for an accurate diagnosis, eliminating the need for guessing. -
A PP-trimmed CPO 2025 CX70 PHEV has recently added to our fleet. With the addition of this Mazda, the number of vehicles in the family has grown to five (the CX5 is still there). I live in a place where petrol prices are consistently among the highest in the country, so owning a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle will help me cut down on my trips to the pump. We are now in need of accessories and would really appreciate any suggestions you may have.

Discrepancies appear to exist between the book and actual practices. The official BMW distances or times are unexpectedly lengthy; may this indicate contemporary advancements in manufacturing tolerances, resulting in reduced smoothing of cylinder bores by piston rings, for instance? The machinery that manufacture engines are markedly distinct from those of the past. BMW is not unique; our Golf has endured 7 to 8 years of a comparable maintenance regimen without visits. Should I subject my BMW to the same evaluation? I am quite interested in understanding what members consider to be the acceptable interval or distance to utilise, and whether regular long versus short travels should be taken into account.

FSD 12.5.2 on Hardware 4 Experiences Reduced Performance
VVC-Geeza replied to Treeri's topic in General Car Chat
Reduce speed; nonetheless, the vehicles are not achieving the designated speed restriction. -
Merely validated my initial assumption. It is unfortunate, as this appears excellent, and I have observed W211 models utilising them; it seems the wheel hub differs among the 220, 280, 320, etc. Thank you for your time; nevertheless, I believe the wheels are available for purchase if anyone is interested. 235/40/R18 front Rear tires: 255 or 265/35/18. Front tires were recently balanced before to fitting; rear tires require replacement due to deterioration and sidewall cracking.

I believe that is precisely what is occurring. The question now is how and whether I can accommodate them.

The 5x112 bolt pattern is accurate. The standard centre bore is 66.6 mm; I believe the issue is with the nut, which does not fit through the new alloy wheel. Thank you for your response.

By the way, the 18-inch wheels originated from the 2004 E55, so they are indeed year-appropriate, which is somewhat perplexing to me.

Greetings, everyone. I am the delighted owner of a W211 E220 CDI Avantgarde with an automatic gearbox. In excellent condition, I decided to indulge in a set of period-correct AMG wheels to complete the aesthetic. Could someone kindly elucidate why they do not fit? The wheel nuts from my regular factory 16-inch 5-spoke wheels are incompatible with the 18-inch wheels I purchased; therefore, if I attempt to use a different nut, it will not fit the hub, correct? Kindly assist; the images depict an attractive car, and alloy wheels would enhance its aesthetic appeal. Thank you for your attention; I hope someone can assist me, as all the "alloy specialists" have recently disappointed me.

F34 from 2014 Assistance required for key fob issues.
VVC-Geeza replied to heralder's topic in General Car Chat
Please refrain from raising your voice, but have you ensured that the batteries are installed correctly? I have seen this issue when individuals hastily attempt to prevent memory loss or similar concerns. Could you resynchronise them as was possible with the previous versions? I have not encountered this issue myself; my apologies. What is the significance of placing the key beside the column? -

Approximately one year ago, I purchased one from eBay that seamlessly integrates behind the rearview mirror, replacing an existing cover. It directly connects to the wiper wiring at that place, eliminating the need to route cables to other areas. The image quality is exceptional. I cannot recall which specific eBay seller I purchased it from, but they all seem to originate from the same manufacturer.

Registration numbers are variable; thus, the VIN is more precise, particularly when verifying items that may have altered in their identification.

Removal of the turbocharger from the W204 OM651 engine

Is there one that likes both female and male turbos? -
I maintain cellular equilibrium. Air conditioning charging. Do not keep the automobile stationary for extended periods at 100% charge.

The Driver Profile is set to default as a guest.
VVC-Geeza replied to MDMH757's topic in General Car Chat
The software and hardware are excessively slow to load at startup, causing frustration during the waiting period. The driver profile fails to recognise you, necessitating the selection of the driver post-loading.Adjusting the seat and steering wheel is expedited by just pressing the driver number button located beneath the steering wheel.
