  1. Past hour
  2. It is improbable that there is something erroneous with those concerns if they all arise simultaneously. There is likely an issue with the sensors. I have the same problem; however, I am unconcerned and merely need to direct it to the appropriate individual for resolution.
  3. Consistently scan and adhere to codes, using them as a reference. Additionally, you may assess a sensor with a multimeter and proceed with its replacement if necessary. This model appears to lack a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). A straightforward method to verify this is by examining the tire valves; if they are large and metallic, it is likely equipped with TPMS. Otherwise, the run-flat system depends on the wheel speed sensor to identify if one wheel is rotating slower than the others, triggering an alert. A dealer is not required; any reputable garage equipped with a proficient scanner can assist. Please provide your location, as some members here may be able to help if they are not too distant.
  4. We hope this information is beneficial; please respond to tell us, allowing others to gain from it as well.
  5. Thank you for your response. I have a nearby dealership but was wanting to circumvent scheduling an appointment. I will search for specialists.
  6. Greetings. First and foremost, The purported mechanic is uninformed, as ninth-generation Civics lack tyre pressure sensors. The system responds to wheel speed anomalies through the ABS sensors. This is likely the reason for the illumination of the ABS warning lights, among others. Consult a knowledgeable professional to scan the ABS system and examine the reluctor rings and ABS wheel speed sensors, then proceed accordingly.
  7. Approximately two months ago, while driving home on an exceptionally hot day, the low tyre pressure warning light activated. I stopped to inspect the tires; there were no concerns. I restarted the vehicle, and the alert disappeared. Ten minutes later, the warning light illuminated once more, accompanied by many more warning indicators—ABS, tire inflation, power steering, etc.—yet there was no impact on the vehicle's handling. It has been somewhat sporadic since then; at times it activates, while at other times it does not. Occasionally, it is merely the single warning; at other times, there are many alerts. Presented the vehicle to a mechanic who connected it to diagnostic equipment and reported a warning for the tire pressure sensor (rear right) and a "power steering VSA system malfunction." He erased the codes, resulting in a temporary cessation, but the issue has since reoccurred. He also assessed the battery's condition and stated it was satisfactory. Has anyone else encountered a similar experience?

  10. Thank you. I will disassemble the pump this weekend to inspect it and the sprocket cam for signs of wear. A new Pierberg pump, following multiple model revisions, has ostensibly resolved the issues associated with earlier versions; yet, I remain apprehensive about the potential, albeit unlikely, risk of foreign objects entering the engine and interfering with the timing chain.
  11. A friend installed a Honda Blackbird engine in a Smart Fortwo, and due to the Honda engine's insufficient vacuum for the brakes, he incorporated an electric vacuum pump from a Jaguar. That was effective, and while one might be inclined to believe that the smart can be quickly halted, it is not the case without a servo.
  12. I have not experienced much success with Haynes manuals, as they often lack sufficient data on certain topics; but, I will attempt to utilise one.

  14. The handbook can be ordered online from the Haynes website; refer to the link below.
  15. The Haynes manual, number 3253, unequivocally addresses that engine. I have utilised it for several years for my various petrol models; please refer to the photographs below, including the page indicating its applicability to your specific engine.
  16. I recently acquired a 1986 W124 300D, featuring a single previous owner and equipped with an OM 603.912 engine. The vacuum pump and timing chain should be inspected at 400,000 kilometres, despite its current optimal performance. Regrettably, the owner did not maintain the service records, and considering the issues encountered with pump failures and debris entangling the timing chain, inspecting the pump is of utmost importance. Is there a suggested alternative for bulletproofing? Has anyone installed an electric pump or alternator with a connected vacuum pump, similar to Japanese truck configurations? Could someone perhaps recommend a workshop handbook for this vehicle and engine? All the information I have encountered online pertains to American vehicles equipped with turbocharged engines. I appreciate your assistance in advance.

  18. Greetings, I have dispatched you a private message. Thank you!
  19. Is it feasible to upgrade the operating system of my 2018 Cooper S to the current version, as you have accomplished?
  20. Greetings, I own a 2018 JCW equipped with the standard 6.8 system. I intend to upgrade both the system and the cluster.
  21. Hello, I possess a 2018 JCW with the basic system 6.8. I wish to upgrade both it and the cluster.
  22. We possess a 2018 Countryman PHEV. What methods may we employ to ascertain our improvement options?
  23. Thank you! I was pleased to assist and valued the reminder to upgrade my iOS.
  24. If you are as uninformed about coding as I am and doubt your ability to learn independently, seek a professional who possesses expertise in the field. We examined the car's capabilities, established a remote connection, he executed the code, and so, ID6 with Fullscreen-CarPlay and customisable colour schemes was achieved. I am exceedingly satisfied with both the procedure and the outcome. Anticipating forthcoming modifications.
  25. Hello, I wish to convey my experiences regarding the modifications made to my F57. One must commence at a certain point, therefore... My HU was already equipped with an 8.8" touchscreen, albeit featuring split-screen functionality and, in my opinion, antiquated looks. I believe it is time to update the iDrive.
