EGR error codes - P0401 and P042F
-
Thank you, I will examine it after work. Furthermore, it appears that the O2 sensor was either disconnected or removed from the vehicle by an unknown individual. Thank you once more for your comment.

Greetings, I recently purchased a BMW 316d with an N47D20C engine, which was displaying error signals for the O2 sensor. I was unable to locate it, then I realised it was absent. I saw an additional connector that is unoccupied, and I can not see a corresponding wire for connection. I attempted to research this on Google but could not identify its purpose; I am enquiring if anyone might provide guidance. The EGR warning light has illuminated, and I discovered several disconnected vacuum hoses in the engine. I would appreciate assistance with this matter as well, if possible. Postscript: I will include photographs tomorrow.

That is valuable information; thank you.
-
I spoke with the dealer today, and he informed me that it is an additional cost option; there is no spare wheel, so I presume there is no need for paying more for one.
-
Thank you for your response; I was only enquiring since it was referenced in the guidebook.
-
The guidebook states that the vehicle is fitted with a car jack and wheel nut spanner; are these tools included?

If it is not malfunctioning, do not attempt to repair it. If, after two years, you have seen no problems with the DPF being obstructed, it indicates that it is reaching sufficient temperatures and doing enough passive regeneration to remain unobstructed. An economical BMW-specific code reader will provide back pressure readings and indicate the last active regeneration, making it a valuable addition to any BMW glove compartment. The EGR may ultimately obstruct the intake manifold, but it will just need cleaning in another 50,000 miles. A clogged DPF and a blocked intake are only cleaning tasks that will not damage the engine. Disregard the computer's recommendations for service and do an intermediate oil change annually or every 10,000 miles at most. The expenditure on oil and a filter is a prudent investment.

Greetings, I own a 2022 registration Sportage Launch Edition. I have equipped my current Orskey dashcam with both front and back cameras. I followed the forum's recommendation and installed a Dongar adapter on the rearview mirror; but, the USB output lacks sufficient energy to power the back camera. Any suggestions? I like to avoid addressing the fuse box issue.

Thank you for the wisdom so far. I will reassess as time permits. I was upset, since this process should not need such an approach - or so it seemed to me. This example may not be the most effective, but it resembles receiving a replacement cambelt by mail after a warranty failure, accompanied by instructions to search online for guidance on installation. The 'time is running out' notice, coupled with ambiguous instructions and the need to purchase new IT storage equipment, is unhelpful given that the vehicle remains under warranty.

That is really generous; nevertheless, we are not, sadly.

I do not like to seem irate, but I have had my Sportage for over one year. It has undergone servicing at the authorized dealership. A week or two ago, I received a notification indicating that a map update was required and that the deadline for completion was approaching. No information on the deadline for completion. I contacted the main dealer, who informed me that I needed to download KIA Connect, which was previously unknown to me. I executed it on my mobile device. I had to repeatedly return to my automobile to input codes and do related tasks. I was unaware that this was mandatory. Clearly, this did not affect the notification on the map update. I contacted them again via phone. I was instructed to visit the official Kia website and adhere to the provided guidelines. I need to determine the software version of my automobile. I adhered to the exact directions provided on the Kia website. The information on my automobile does not align with what the internet said would be present. Thus, there is a lack of any information on my vehicle. I inferred the necessary version based on my possession of the 2021 model, therefore selecting the variant labeled with 21. The numerals may pertain to years. I downloaded that version on my PC. I am then obligated to transfer it onto a USB or comparable device. Consequently, I discover the required USB size, which I do not own. I am completely uninformed and unable to locate any information on the Kia website on the procedure for transferring maps to my vehicle. At the risk of seeming irate, this significantly deviates from my expectations of a respected automobile manufacturer. I consider myself reasonably competent and proficient in information technology. Perhaps not; yet, this seems to be quite intricate. Perhaps I, along with several other Sportage owners, are aware of the software version operating in our vehicles and the procedure for uploading fresh maps. It is sufficient to state that I will not commence using these ambiguous and convoluted 'instructions' that may perhaps compromise my automobile navigation system. I would really appreciate assistance in navigating what seems to be an exceedingly complex configuration. I am perplexed as to why the task was not completed during the auto servicing.

Divest from electric vehicles and revert to diesel?
Geek2232 replied to bvlenci's topic in General Discussions
Engage in pursuits that resonate with you; life is too brief to do otherwise. We own an electric vehicle in our household, which is exceptional, economical to operate, pleasant, quiet, and has an impressive range; but, it is very monotonous and resembles more of a consumer durable appliance, lacking excitement for those who get pleasure from driving. One may invariably return to an electric vehicle in the future, given the influx of new models, but diesel options will diminish in viability. -

Upcoming project vehicle: W124 E320 Cabriolet
Geek2232 replied to CyberNinja's topic in General Discussions
Congratulations. Is restoration worthwhile? -
When I attempt to insert a disc, the machine appears unresponsive, and I am unable to push the disc into the slot, despite it feeling correctly positioned. Upon accessing the CD menu on Comand by selecting the stacked multi-disc button adjacent to the "DISC" button depicted above, I observe six vacant slots within the internal CD changer designated for discs. Selecting "eject (all)" yields no result. I have not utilised it throughout the five years of automobile ownership, hence I am unaware of its functionality. Question 1 Am I engaging in an unwise action or neglecting an evident step to enable this machine to receive discs? Question 2 As an individual proficient in DIY, how can I repair a broken item? Question 3: If the device is malfunctioning and does not accept CDs, can I transfer high-quality audio onto an SD card, specify the format, then insert it into the slot beneath the rewind/back button to achieve superior audio quality? I appreciate your assistance in advance.
-
I decided to use a traditional approach of inserting CDs into my Comand unit, harbouring an idealistic expectation of achieving optimal sound quality from the device. I am presently streaming from a playlist on my phone using a Bluetooth connection. It functions reliably, although I am uncertain about its quality. The build sheet specifies the components for the Command unit: 512 COMMAND APS WITH DVD CHANGER 518 UNIVERSAL COMMUNICATIONS INTERFACE (UCI) This appears to be NTG 4.5, of which I am rather certain.

Have you not encountered rattling previously? -

If you are under warranty, take it to the dealer; this may include the timing chain. -

An illuminated EML will inevitably result in failure.
