Greetings I have removed the engine from my 2008 Cooper S due to a need for a new clutch and flywheel. Additionally, the previous owner had run the engine at high temperatures with little oil. Upon inspection, I have found that the cylinder bores are in great shape. My concern is, what course of action would you recommend in this situation? I am replacing the piston rings, conrod bearings, main bearings, chain, oil pump chain, and all gaskets. Is it advisable for me to proceed with replacing the piston rings? Thank you.

If you still own it, you have the ability to offer the future buyer the choice.

Is there no Air Con Eco-Mode available in the hybrid model?

Greetings, Thank you for responding. I presume that it only need a re-gas and does not have an issue with the condenser. I suppose that if that were the case, it would emit heated air. I have a Vauxhall vehicle that exhibited such behaviour some years ago. If the leak is a result of damage, it is not covered by the guarantee. What would be the cost of repairing that? Kia provided me with a quotation of £125 for a re-gas, I believe.

I failed to consider the option of seeking out an air conditioning professional. I was considering a place such as Kwik Fit and saw several advertisements on Groupon. I believe I will need to do a search on Google. I am uncertain about the current market price for a refrigerant recharge.

Greetings, everyone. I am curious to know whether it is possible to get the air conditioning system recharged at any location or if it must be done specifically at a Kia dealership. My air conditioning unit is not providing chilly air and is just producing a breeze similar to that of a fan. Neither warm nor beneficial on a hot day. I own a 2020 Niro Hybrid. I have come across information stating that hybrid vehicles need certain fluids and that some air conditioning re-gas facilities do not provide services for hybrids.

Currently, most insurance companies are charging a higher premium for electric cars (EVs) or hybrid vehicles. Inquiring about suggestions for a certain insurance provider: It is important to keep in mind that insurance companies want to diversify their risk. Therefore, the insurer that offers affordable rates to one individual may not necessarily provide the same affordability to another individual. When an insurance company provides competitive pricing for a certain age group, postcode, or automobile, they quickly get overwhelmed with demand and subsequently raise premiums in that segment. It is important to note that in today's computerised era, claims expenses and insurance rates may be quickly adjusted and reevaluated. For a period of time, many individuals believed that insuring older automobiles was less expensive. Subsequently, the personal injury claims alerted the insurance providers, prompting a swift escalation in prices. The aforementioned information may not be very useful, but it does explain why some individuals seem to get more favourable terms from certain insurance providers. It is advisable to get insurance estimates around 21 days before to changing your insurance policy. Prioritise contacting your existing insurers first - Given the escalating expenses associated with acquiring new clients, there is a possibility of favourable outcomes if you provide the insurance with potential business opportunities. Next, attempt all of the online comparison platforms.

The poor electrical connections on the ignition switch result in an inadequate start signal being sent to the fuel pump, which is responsible for pressurising the system before the engine is turned on. This signal then switches to a signal indicating that the engine is running, although the specific origin of this signal may vary. Verify the consistent reception of electrical signals by the fuel pump relay. During the first cold start, do you see the pumps engaging in the process of "priming" the system for a brief duration upon turning the ignition switch on, prior to starting the engine? Many individuals often attribute the fuel pump relay as a common cause, which is really true. However, it is important to note that even a well functioning fuel pump relay need consistent and dependable electrical signals in order to operate effectively. Apologies for the use of capital letters!

Thank you. Now I am aware that it is absent, and even though it is only a matter of appearance, my obsessive-compulsive disorder has been triggered! laugh out loud

I will attempt to get some detailed photographs later.

On the lower part of the rear bumper, namely where the black section is located. There are many spots available, about 15 to 20. I first believed that it was only an aperture for a sensor, but it turns out that there is a little piece of trim that fits into that space. a chromium-plated component. I am seeking either someone who has a product they are willing to sell to me, or a recommendation for a reputable seller of used items.

Hello everyone I have had my automobile for about one week and I am really enjoying it. One detail that escaped my attention was the absence of a trim piece on the lower part of the rear bumper. Could someone assist me in obtaining a component number, preferably at a reasonable cost, or guide me to a reliable source for purchasing a used one? Hopefully, someone in this group has one.

Even high-quality snap-on scanners might provide inaccurate information. You must use a BMW diagnostic kit to scan it.

I completely agree. You are not relying on gasoline and there is no automatic power shutdown. In the moment of urgency after the first fear and a state of confusion about what to do, you must consider the most effective way to reach the intake. If you happen to have a sufficiently big piece of cloth to totally obstruct it, the shutdown process should begin. However, it is likely that by the time you reach this stage, the situation will have already escalated beyond control. With a manual gearbox, it is possible to stall the engine as soon as the situation becomes uncontrollable, so preventing damage to the engine. I have successfully changed a turbocharger on a second-generation Octavia that operates on oil, resulting in oil leakage throughout the engine. Fortunately, the driver shown prudence by stalling the vehicle via vigorous clutch manipulation.

If the turbo malfunctions and causes the engine oil to replace the fuel, the smoke will become dense like fog. This occurs due to a failure in the turbo seal, which allows the engine oil to be drawn up through the intercooler. To confirm this issue, you can disconnect the lower pipe of the intercooler and observe any substance that comes out. The intercooler pipe will already have some oil residue due to the engine breather, but if a significant amount of oil pours out, it indicates a problem wi If the battery drop has been prolonged, the difficulty in starting the engine might be due to a partial seizure. Do not attempt to operate it until it has been inspected.

Thank to everybody. It is peculiar that it was only available for the estate. Does the same apply to the C63? I was certain that I had been exposed to those with privacy glass before, but maybe I am mistaken. As I will be entrusting my vehicle to MB for repair in the near future, I will inquire about it in the event that I overlook any details.

Thank you for your prompt reply. I am not concerned about the cost, within reasonable limits, but my primary issue is the availability of this glass. After doing a search on eBay, I have observed the availability of factory tinted glass for the coupe, while encountering few options for the saloon. Upon reflection, was privacy glass available as a choice for the W204? I am uncertain whether I have ever seen one with it, particularly one that is not C63.

Greetings. Apologies if this is the incorrect forum, but I couldn't find any more appropriate one. Is it feasible to install factory tinted or privacy glass to our vehicles, namely the W204 model in my case? Aftermarket tint film has been applied to many vehicles, including my present vehicle, and I consistently see it as unattractive due to the resulting gap at the periphery of the "dot matrix" on the rear quarters and rear window. While I am aware that some aftermarket tints may be superior to others, I have yet to see any that can effectively circumvent the dot matrix problem. The sole viable option I can conceive is to attempt to retrofit factory tinted or privacy glass (the glass that would have been included on the vehicle if privacy glass had been included as a factory option). However, I am uncertain whether anyone would be willing to undertake this task (whether it be the main dealer or another party) and whether it would still be feasible to obtain such glass for a W204. Are there any opinions or perspectives on this matter? Thank you.

Please disregard my vote since I have not personally driven the Yaris Cross. This website might perhaps assist in making the choice... Please refer to the following article for car leasing news: "Toyota CHR vs. Yaris Cross"

Regrettably, no. However, I comprehend that the CHR was terminated concurrently with the introduction of the Yaris Cross, suggesting that the Yaris Cross may be a rebranded version of the CHR. Similar to how the Auris evolved into the Corolla.

I operated a chr as a courtesy vehicle, and the driving experience was pleasant and the storage capacity was amazing. It seamlessly incorporated with my wifi Carplay Dongle.

There is no justification for replacing Nylocs since they are specifically engineered to be reusable without compromising their functionality or safety. Contrary to crush nuts (such as some hub nuts) and stretch bolts, which are often intended for single use. According to Carroll Smith, author of "Carroll Smith's Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners, and Plumbing Handbook," the nylon insert is not harmed during installation, allowing it to be reused several times.

For a little over 2 years, I have had a 2013 X6M and only utilised CASTROL EDGE FST 5W-30 5L TITANIUM FST without encountering any issues. I am seeking ideas for plugs as well. I have also heard that the plugs installed during a service may not be of high quality. I would like to mention that I use this website whenever I want assistance in locating accurate component numbers. It proves to be really beneficial in this regard. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sele...&prod=20130200 High Power Spark Plug, Model 03 The BOSCH ZMR5TPP33 8 12120037581 is priced at $22.06. That is the item that is installed at the manufacture, according to reports. Hopefully, this will be beneficial.

You're welcome.
