  1. Hello, would a minor disconnection of the air intake pipe caused by a broken holding clip result in a decrease in power and a slight vibration at highway speeds?
  2. I recently drove the Evoque, and there were no warning indicators; it felt more refined. Thank you, everyone.
  3. hi just thought i would let you know of the shock i got today regarding my evoque this is my first diesel car so i have owned this car for 4 yrs never had this problem before in my 70yrs got in the car to take missus to tesco warning came on exhuast full i had not got a clue so went into panick mode looked up what to do drive at 40 to 60 for half hr or so keeping revs at 2500 to 3000 not a cat in hells chance of that where i live but gave it a go 15 mins in realised i could not keep this up so i put car in sport mode and used paddles that i have never used to change down to 2nd and 3rd to keep up the revs did this for 1 hour during that time the car also shut down active dynamics but didnt alter steering the told me my hood was open so i pulled up checked bonnet that was not open and carried on driving to my home as i parked on my drive the small triangular warning went off so i got out my icarsoft and cleared all the faults left the car overnight next morning went out fired up the car no faults now seem all ok but what a day of learning for me in my first ever diesel car :unsure: 🙂
  4. I've had a Discovery 5 listing saved for a few days myself. Threads like this are useful because buying remotely still feels completely alien to me
  5. It would be helpful if you could identify the infotainment system you have, such as COMAND MBUX 6, so we can figure out how to verify the maps version. To begin, the Datacard is an excellent choice. Additionally, the infotainment system may begin downloading when you notice an emblem like an arrow atop a vehicle, albeit this will vary from system to system. Are you also in possession of the Mercedes-me app?
  6. Will not make contact with valves when cam locks are engaged and camshafts are at an angle where valves are not open sufficiently to touch. By default, when you lock the crank, you should attempt to turn it in both directions. If it only turns in one way, it's about 180 degrees out of whack; a false lock occurs when the crank catches on a ridge on the flywheel.
  7. The issue may lie with the oil solenoid itself, which could be worn internally. The link below contains extensive information on the B48 engine, which shares a similar design but is missing one cylinder compared to yours. It illustrates the solenoid bolts and how the gauze fails; when it does, it directs the gauze towards the sprocket. It is unlikely for it to move in the opposite direction, as oil pressure ranging from 40 to 80 psi propels it one way. To be candid, the B series engines present significantly more challenges during maintenance. The vehicle referenced in the link adhered strictly to the manual, except for the injector replacements. Upon removal, the owner noted a fuel odour and observed a mark on the injector seat to rail. BMW typically replaces the injectors when servicing chains. A colleague at BMW expressed surprise that I managed to extract all four injectors without breaking or damaging them, as each required careful handling and took approximately an hour to remove gently. This vehicle had 118,000 miles; the chain was worn, and the sprockets were in poor condition. The timing ring on the inlet cam was discovered to be loose when heated, resulting in the erosion of the location groove. Additionally, a coolant leak was identified due to the degradation of the plastic oil filter housing caused by age and heat. A colleague at BMW mentioned that the normal cost for chain replacement is approximately $4,000. The last one I completed was half that amount, utilising original equipment parts from INA. INA is imprinted on authentic projects adjacent to the BMW stamp. The INA full kit from Mpd is priced at about fifty percent less than the equivalent kit from BMW, although including identical components manufactured in the same location.
  8. If you encounter difficulties in locating someone to assist you, feel free to submit it to me.
  9. The B48 and B38 engines feature a similar timing arrangement, with oil solenoids integrated into the bolts securing the Vanos system at the camshaft's end. A prevalent issue arises when the gauze filters disintegrate, subsequently entering the Vanos sprocket and causing damage. Without visual inspection, it is challenging to assess the situation based on your description. If the electronic component of Vanos control has been displaced from the rocker cover, it may indicate a malfunction, or the plastic of the rocker cover may have become brittle. The timing chains in the B48 engine exhibit superior durability compared to the B38, as the latter's three-cylinder configuration experiences greater wear due to higher revs. The BMW service item for the 100,000 to 120,000-mile interval involves the replacement of timing chains, necessitating the removal of the engine and gearbox. BMW estimates the cost for the B48 chain replacement at approximately £4,000. I completed a few of these jobs last year, initially charging the same as for a diesel engine until I assessed the expenses associated with the chain kit, which is quite costly. This task is not straightforward and requires specialised locking tools; the lase
  10. I regret to learn of this situation. It is advisable to photograph the vehicle in the garage forecourt immediately before to its servicing or repairs.
  11. Upon its return from WordSmith, it will appear as new.
  12. It appears that you have accurately commanded the parking brake servos to retract, but they are unable to do so. Are you certain that there is no problem with the callipers? I presume you lack an OBD2 device for diagnosing DTCs and servicing, as you would have utilised it otherwise. If you refer to the earlier part of the thread I mentioned, you will find an individual detailing their approach to replacing the pads with the battery disconnected to avoid brake engagement. Consider attempting that.
