Checking the oil level with the dipstick.
CodeCrusader replied to Paqngo's topic in General Discussions
My 2006 C class comes with a dipstick tube but no dipstick from the factory. Someone here will inform you shortly whether your vehicle has the service menu option. -

Increasing oil level may indicate unburnt gasoline passing via worn piston rings or fuel injector issues. What is the age of this automobile and does it come equipped with an electronic oil level sensor? The level may be verified under the service option on the dashboard, depending on the model. -

Which kind of engine: diesel or petrol? Does the oil have a scent of fuel or diesel? -
I now see five photos in #1.

Thank you for your responses. I attempted the tip to turn left and turn right, but it was unsuccessful. Therefore, I will have to borrow my neighbor's Carly. Where is the diagnostic plug located on my CLC200k? I anticipated it to be located under the steering wheel, but it does not seem to be there in that location. I would appreciate your assistance.

Thank you!

Due to a slower-than-anticipated recovery following my ankle procedure, the automobile remained untouched for five weeks before I was able to access it and start it. It is currently retaining control.

After fully discharging and recharging the battery, I am now receiving an SRS error warning. How can I clear this issue? Can I purchase a diagnostic/reset tool to clear it myself, or should I see my local independent mechanic to address it? I am reluctant to drive the automobile if the airbag is malfunctioning.

If uncertain? Empower it with influence! 🔨

Purchasing a high-mileage E400d. Unwise decision?
CodeCrusader replied to Screwdriver_1's topic in General Discussions
The vehicle has average mileage and if properly repaired, there is little danger. There is still a lot of mileage remaining in the car. I have purchased 4-year-old cars with roughly 144,000 miles, driven them to over 200,000 miles, and sold them without any serious issues. -
I have been examining the Autophix Enhanced 7910 Full-System Code Reader, which is specifically designed to be compatible with BMW vehicles. Although it offers a wide range of features, its price is around £130. Will it be effective?

Is there an alternative tool available at a relatively low cost?

I am now located in the Scottish Borders.

Is it possible to do this using either BimmerCode or BimmerLink? If not, whatever sort of scanner would be capable of doing this task? Can you provide any recommendations?

Regarding this ongoing situation, I apologise for the inconvenience. After installing the new sensor, I attempted to start the device earlier. It required a significant amount of cranking, and when I took it for a run, it exhibited a slight lack of responsiveness. I turned it off and attempted to start it again, and it was still sluggish. However, it eventually started and reached the normal idle speed. I then reinstalled the old sensor, and the device started without any issues, and everything is currently functioning properly. We welcome any suggestions or insights.

I used the same sensor type manufactured by Bosch. As a novice in this field, I am perplexed by the fact that the fuel rail was devoid of gasoline. This might perhaps be attributed to my action of inadvertently damaging one of the injector lines while attempting to assess the pressure. The car's performance is satisfactory, however it may have a little delay in acceleration at startup, likely caused by the presence of residual air that has yet to be ejected.
-
Apologies for the inconvenience, but could you maybe clarify the meaning of "reset adaptions"? Is it possible to do this task using Bimmerlink?
-
After replacing the sensor, I saw that no gasoline was being released from the rail. Is it typical for the engine to need extensive cranking in order to start, considering the delay? Additionally, I have seen that the engine is running somewhat unevenly after the sensor replacement. Is this to be expected? Thank you.
-
Expressing gratitude!
-
Going to replace this sensor, after fitting, will the vehicle prime the gasoline lines itself?

I have obtained more items from eBay, but they are not of low quality. Despite their appealing appearance, I have not yet installed them due to the very chilly weather.

I appreciate the additional information provided about the comparative analysis of the two models. Regarding the cluster in question, I am curious as to why the M6 model never included a fully digital 6WB-style cluster. Many people speculate that this omission is due to the inclusion of a Head-Up Display (HUD). However, it is worth noting that the 650i model does possess a 6WB cluster with the HUD. This leads me to believe that BMW intentionally aimed to maintain a more traditional and timeless aesthetic for the M6, as you previously said. I want to get a catless downpipe and an aftermarket exhaust system. I am particularly fond of the auditory experience produced by the Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), as it exhibits remarkable swiftness, resulting in minimal fluctuations in engine revolutions per minute (RPM).
-
Indeed, I have made the decision to get the M6. In comparing vehicles of the same mileage and year, there exists a price differential of around $10,000 to $15,000 between the 650 and M6 models. It is my contention that this disparity in price does not constitute a significant difference, hence suggesting that the M6 model offers a justifiable value proposition.
-
I own other vehicles at my disposal for contingency purposes, and I myself do all maintenance and repairs on my automobiles. Based on the responses received in the aforementioned discussion, it seems that acquiring an M6 would be the most suitable course of action. Furthermore, I am interested in determining if the 640i model exhibits greater reliability compared to its V8 counterparts. There is a prevalent belief among many individuals that the N55 motor exhibits sluggish performance when installed in the 6 series chassis. In light of this, I am curious as to whether a 640i, just via the implementation of a tune, can surpass the speed of a 650i. Alternatively, would other modifications such as a downpipe exhaust and other enhancements be necessary to achieve this outcome? I would want to express my gratitude for the aforementioned responses. The provided information has proven to be really beneficial.
