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.

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

Inspect your vehicle following maintenance or repair.

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. -

EPB Service Mode - 2016 Evoque SE Tech - Instruction Manual
jennycarlotta replied to WiseSage's topic in General Discussions
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. -

The MY20 Service Manual indeed addresses manual gearboxes, as it references "Neutral." Initiation... CAUTIONS: The electric park brake (EPB) switch's apply/release function is disabled in this mode (to ensure technician safety), thus do not operate the vehicle under these conditions. Noncompliance with this directive may result in personal injury. This process necessitates that the car is in either the Park or Neutral position, the ignition is activated (the engine must be off), and the parking brake system is disengaged. Upon installation of the rear brake pads or brake discs, the Service Mode must be deactivated. This process facilitates the release of the parking brake during the removal and installation of replacement rear brake pads or brake discs. 1. Depress and maintain the parking brake switch in the disengaged position. 2. Pause for one second. 3. Depress and maintain the accelerator pedal in the fully open throttle position. 4. Wait one second. 5. Turn the ignition OFF and then ON immediately. NOTE: An audible signal will indicate that the parking brake has been disengaged in Service Mode. 6. Depress the accelerator pedal and return the parking brake switch to the neutral position. Disengagement... WARNING: This method necessitates that the car is in either Park or Neutral, with the ignition activated (the engine must be off) and the parking brake system set to Service Mode. 1.

Indeed, the absence of "Park" on the gearbox is likely the reason for your difficulties. It is a sequenced series of events, and that method will likely be significant for this procedure. An OBD2 dongle will certainly function, however I am uncertain if there exists a process for the manual that does not involve using "Park"; however, someone may has that knowledge. Do you possess the Evoque Service Manual for the 2015 model year? I have not encountered one for the 2016 model year. If a handbook exists, the process will be included therein. -

It is effective; I have utilised it several times to halt the process. There is a skill involved, as I initially encountered difficulties. I was surprised to discover that the Parking Brake functions as both a pull and a push lever, as I had never previously pushed it. -
I returned my automobile to the dealer yesterday due to an issue related to the connections of the gear shift. There is no cause for concern, as it is scheduled for repairs next Monday.

If I engage it manually, does it disengage automatically when I drive away?

I am uncertain about how that operates; could it be applied inadvertently? Mine is a 2025 model. I consistently engage the hold button and do not believe I have utilised the manual handbrake or modified any settings since it was new, having driven 516 miles since June.

I drove the vehicle last night, pulled over, and turned it off. It started without issue; however, I still experienced difficulty engaging the drive mode when depressing the brake. I will return to the dealer tomorrow and will update you on the outcome.

When I press the button to start my 2025 CHR, it does not consistently initiate, and I must shift into reverse or drive twice before the screen indicates the selected gear. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Five hundred sixteen kilometres

Is it not possible for you to deactivate the front ones, like I can with my previous X5? The ticking sound you refer to occurs when your ear is placed near the sensor; if operational, a ticking will be audible.

Deregister the former owner's ID from Mercedes Me.

I encountered the same issue. Visited the dealership with the V5 document, and they explicitly said that they removed the prior owner. -

hat did the previous owner do to the driver's seat? Was he/she colossal? -

As already said. Furthermore, should they consent to a complimentary replacement, anticipate that your vehicle will be inoperable for the entire period, namely from now till the dealer obtains approval from MB, procures the part, and executes the repair.

Recall for EGR Replacement and Software Update.
jennycarlotta replied to WiseSage's topic in General Discussions
I do not perceive. Recall 2090008 - repair the EGR cooler and update the engine electronics The software has just two airbags and one more item that was not specified. What does this upgrade entail?
