Middlewick House, Nick Mason's automobile collection
Flexfer replied to rab60bit88's topic in General Car Chat
That year, we successfully secured the British GT Championship alongside his co-driver, Tim Sugden. The most recent re-mastered Blu-ray edition of Floyd in Pompeii is highly recommended for viewing and listening. -
Middlewick House, Nick Mason's automobile collection
Flexfer replied to rab60bit88's topic in General Car Chat
Rock stars and luxury automobiles possess an intriguing connection. Although I have only encountered Nick Mason once, I was far more familiar with Pink Floyd's manager, Steve O'Rourke, whom I met in 1998 in this McLaren. -
Thank you for your interest. The quotations originate from the iCarsoft display. Upon clearing the codes, they do not reemerge until the vehicle is in motion. I removed the left rear sensor and operated the vehicle. It entered limp mode. I reinstalled the sensor, and the vehicle operated normally. The left sensor is not completely nonfunctional. I am experiencing difficulty locating the junction for the two speed sensor cables. Is it located beneath the rear seat? I am unable to locate it beneath the vehicle. Thank you once more for your assistance.

Thank you for your responses. I have detached the rear near-side sensor, and it appears to be in good condition. I inspected the reluctor ring, and it is in satisfactory shape, free from rust and other defects. I will test the sensor for resistance after I locate the connectors. Do reluctors lose their magnetism?
-
Thank you for your contribution. The sensors appear to be a straightforward repair, involving testing and replacement, among other tasks. The reluctors produce a dreadful sound. Do they frequently experience failure?

I have fault indicators illuminated for ABS and ESP. iCarsoft indicates malfunctioning sensors on both rear axles. Is it possible for these devices to malfunction simultaneously? The real output from the analyser is as follows: Transmission Control Module Fault 1 Engine Control Module: Fault 1 Engine Selector Module Fault1 ESP Fault1 When I access the codes, they exclusively pertain to rear wheel speed sensors as follows:Implausible speed signals from the right and left rear supplied by the traction system over the CAN bus. The right rear speed sensor for the ESP has malfunctioned. It appears peculiar that both the left and right sensors should malfunction simultaneously. The automobile is not in limp mode. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Audible scratching emanating from the brakes
Flexfer replied to MotoGravity's topic in General Car Chat
The left turn indicates that the park brake cable is contacting the prop shaft. I own a clip priced at the cost of a pint. -
I would remove the fan and juxtapose it with the one from the 2-liter diesel you own.

Indeed, a portion of this essay pertains to how cameras detect side roads with a speed limit of 20 mph while one is travelling on the main road at far higher speeds. The same occurred with my last Ford Focus.

Evaluated Kia mapping in recent days. Google Maps serves as the decisive factor for me.

2007 W211 E320 CDI, noise from 7G-speed gearbox
Flexfer replied to Needsnewtyres2's topic in General Car Chat
Similarly, my 2013 W204 had a clunky upshift when cold, which is a known trait. The ATF has been modified and the TCU software has been upgraded, among other changes. Consequently, 2013 vehicles will include the subsequent G7+ variation, leaving uncertainty over the impact on the OP's earlier 7G model. -
I suspected that could be the situation with Lambda. 👍 I really hope that is not the case for the turbo. The vehicle exhibited more responsiveness during the first weeks after the installation of the turbocharger. Except for a little leak at the gasket. Operated the vehicle again this evening after the cleaning of the MAF sensor. Appears to have regained vitality. Abundant responsiveness on the freeway in fourth, fifth, and sixth gears. Consistently maintained rhythm. Hesitation seems to manifest as operating in lower gears at speeds below 30 mph. The OBD is connected, however the MAF air measurements remain inconsistent. 30-55 grammes per second on the freeway. 2500 RPM 0-17 g/sec at idle. However, exhibiting erratic movement. The voltage of the O2 sensor seems to be within the acceptable range. 0.5 volts to 1.0 volts. The lambda ratio is mostly 1.999 at maximum on the OBD. Continue troubleshooting the situation tomorrow until a technician is available to examine it.

I will examine them. 👍 The automobile will not be placed in the garage until January 6th. 😧 The cleaned MAF sensor seems to have provided a little reaction during acceleration. Occasionally remains somewhat reluctant. I am preparing to run Wynns EGR cleaner via the intake once I determine the method. It is quite plausible that the issue may be attributed to the EGR and its forthcoming recall. It is hoped that the EGR and cooler will be replaced. Does anybody know the location of the lambda sensor on my model? 2015 BMW 320d F30? Salutations. 👍

Thank you for your response. I inspected the engine compartment this morning for any apparent issues but found nothing. Disconnected the maf to inspect and clean it. Departing for a brief test drive before to visiting the garage tomorrow. The vehicle has been taken to the shop twice after the turbo replacement to verify their work and to redo the gasket and clamp. Attempting to formulate a preliminary hypothesis on the potential issue. Enquiring about the accuracy of my OBD reader. Acquired only for code reading and preventive maintenance purposes. I may get the Carly OBD because to the several good evaluations I have seen.

Greetings, everyone. Attempt to maintain brevity. I lack mechanical aptitude and seek assistance prior to returning my vehicle to the shop. Any guidance would be welcomed. Present owner of a 2015 320d F30. Possessed for six years. Recently installed a refurbished turbo after a turbo failure. Comprehensive servicing was conducted once again. The vehicle was returned to the garage after a few days due to my suspicion of exhaust fumes infiltrating the cabin. The gasket between the diesel particulate filter and the turbocharger has failed. A new gasket and v-clamp have been installed. Appeared to have resolved the issue. Recently, I have seen that my MPG gauge fluctuates significantly, dropping from 50 to as low as 15 MPG with little acceleration at both low and high RPMs. There seems to be pause, followed by the needle swiftly returning to the upper range, namely 50-60 mpg. It is certainly not operating as smoothly as it did when I originally had the vehicle back after the turbo replacement. Unhurried. I have since purchased an OBD scanner, modest in nature, only to examine potential issues. No codes have been generated; nonetheless, I have been attracted to many numbers. The airflow rate from the MAF sensor is inconsistent. Example: 0.3 lb/min - 3.0 lb/min. The equivalence ratio (lambda) mostly remains around 1.999, however some fluctuations may occur while driving. The voltage of the oxygen sensor ranges from 0.5 to 1.0 volts. I suspect my lambda sensor may be malfunctioning. I have not had the DPF cleaned, however I have attempted forced regeneration and added Wynn's DPF cleaning to the fuel tank. No emissions or irregular idling. The vehicle had not shown any problems until the turbocharger malfunctioned a few weeks ago. The vehicle has accumulated 95,000 kilometres. Any guidance would be appreciated. I hope that some of this is comprehensible. Salutations. 👍 Revise The vehicle is scheduled for an EGR recall at BMW on January 10th.

Thank you will publish tomorrow!

Thank you. Does it imply activating the engine using the diagnostic tool? Is that permissible?
-
Thank you. I believe that was the error code first interpreted by the garage. It seems that Bosch manufactures the Mercedes component, and while a Bosch part was used, it is nonfunctional. Indeed. Thank you for your assistance.

I had a local service repair my MAF sensor since the engine management light was lighted. EML arrived one or two days subsequent to their servicing. A Bosch replacement mass air flow sensor was used. Two days later, EML reappeared. It is suggested that there may be an incompatibility, necessitating the use of an MB unit. I am beginning to question some statements for various reasons. I connected my ACME £9.99 code reader, which indicated a P0111 fault code, indicating an issue with the Intake Air Temperature Sensor 1 Circuit/Range. Is the intake air temperature sensor integrated with the mass air flow sensor? Is it a distinct component? Is there a potential that an error occurred during the service, resulting in the activation of the EML? Thank you in advance.

Numerous videos on YouTube demonstrate the nine-speed technique. In contrast to the Mercedes, which has a torque converter drain plug, the process involves starting the engine between each change and cycling through the gears to homogenise the fluid, followed by draining and refilling, resulting in progressively less aged fluid with each iteration.

It required six sump dumps to get pink fluid. It is worthwhile, especially at the reasonable price of £120 for 20 litres of fluid and seals.

The air conditioning unit, model C205, abruptly ceased functioning.
Flexfer replied to VVC-Geeza's topic in General Car Chat
There may have been a gradual decrease in fuel supply, and recently the pressure dropped slightly below the minimum level required to activate the low pressure sensor, causing the system to shut down as a protective measure. Was there any instance when the LED on the console button flashed while attempting to control the air conditioning system? A specialised MB technician is not necessary for a 're gas' procedure. A simple system pressure check is sufficient before proceeding, and this may be performed by any trustworthy local garage. Please inform us of your progress. PS. What an unfortunate time for your air conditioning unit to malfunction. -
Headrests for the second row captain's chairs.

The first modification we made was to ensure that the booster seat back could securely rest against the seat back. We replaced this item on the dealer's premises when we collected it. It seems as if Mazda's production line instructions are reversed. Additionally, my in-laws, who are over 70 years old, also like to have them reversed in order to avoid straining their necks.
