  1. Sounds satisfactory to me, I am certain in that.
  2. Is it excessively heating? Furthermore, excessive heating may cause the head, gasket, and other components to distort.
  3. However, at what point was it remapped? By whom?
  4. Have you included any gasket seals, such as a K-seal or similar,?
  5. An airlock occurs when a hose becomes rigid, and it may be caused by factors such as a head gasket. Although it is very uncommon, it can nonetheless occur.
  6. Indeed, it is widely believed that the battery, and maybe the battery connections, are the primary cause. After successfully charging the device and obtaining assistance to read and reset the problem messages, it is necessary to address additional concerns such as controllers and wiring. To do this, it is advisable to use the services of an automobile electrician or a local MB expert. Contemporary sensors are remarkable. Various types of bogus error messages are generated, with some of them potentially being accurate. Is this automobile often used, similar to the backdrop colour? A few times each week or 5,000 miles annually? Alternatively, similar to several individuals, a garage queen who has been in a state of repose over the winter season?
  7. I own a 2011 vehicle and am interested in determining the current status of my vehicle. Is there a convenient method to verify this using a snake cam or similar technology?
  8. Inspect the oil level while the engine is cool to ensure all the oil has settled at the bottom of the oil pan. Once the oil reaches a warm temperature, it will spread to cover the internal components of the engine, even reaching partway up the dipstick tube.
  9. I recall seeing this item on eBay at a very low price. Have you resolved the engine problems effortlessly?
  10. Does it lack a complete JLR service history? If so, you may get a donation from JLR.
  11. I care for a vehicle with 400,000 km on its odometer. Ownership has become expensive due to two sets of cameras and many other problems. There are several emission control components attached to it, and they are troublesome.
  12. either way,but if it was me id be going over some heads,then visiting a solicitor,as it has been on fire,and no way could they establish it aint had nowt to do with it,lay it on thick,say you gone to doctors with anxiety that the vehicle will catch fire again etc etc.
  13. I would definitely escalate the matter, and if there is no success, maybe seeking legal counsel would be advisable.
  14. Some objects have caught fire, for example, the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system generates intense heat, causing the manifold to melt and igniting the carbon buildup, resulting in a fire.
  15. Based on my own observation, I believe that the air conditioning system in my designated domain (DD) operates continuously, even during the winter season. I will verify, but I believe I have never activated the A/C button. It significantly reduces fogging.
  16. The heat, windscreen defrost and rear defrost capabilities of my R8 have never been used.
  17. No, complimentary first services were discontinued in the 1990s. These services were typically performed in a mileage range of 600-1000 miles, at a time when oil and engineering standards were not as advanced as they are now. Given the capabilities of most contemporary oils, a complimentary service within the range of 600-1000 miles is no longer necessary. The paid intervals occur either every 10,000 km or every 12 months, whichever happens first.
  18. Indeed, what would be the reason for not imposing charges?
  19. I do not believe Jason is currently serving as a sponsor. However, it is highly recommended to get out to him since his electronic control units (ECUs) are much more affordable and undergo thorough refurbishment and coding processes specific to BMW. Unlike many other firms who use clones, Jason's ECUs are reliable and do not encounter issues such as sudden shutdowns.
  20. Not all options are suitable for every case. You abstain from seeing Harry Potter films and simulate autonomous driving in a vehicle. I am sceptical that this was intended for your transportation to your intended destination. I like use the radar cruise control feature, particularly in situations when overtaking is not possible and I can just relax and maintain a steady speed. On the highway, it is likely not the optimal decision. Conventional cruises also have difficulties in this location.
  21. Is there a remapping of Rice Krispies (snap, crackle, and pop)? Did the OEM suggest using the original version without any modifications, and did the remapper advise using a higher octane fuel following the remap? Is there a visible leak without any combustion?
  22. If I were in possession of the item in question... I would do a leak down test to identify the specific location where the pressure is being released. If the direction of movement is downwards, it indicates a malfunction in the piston or rings of cylinder number 3. This issue would need a costly repair, most likely including the removal of the engine. If there is a leakage occurring beyond the valves, a potential solution might include removing the cylinder head and replacing the valves, which may be a cost-effective remedy. However, it is crucial to determine the underlying reason of the failure, since failing to do so may result in its recurrence. I would wager that the issue lies with the exhaust valves being damaged by heat. It is imperative to determine the cause of this problem before any repairs can be contemplated. Which octane rating of gasoline is advised and which one was utilised? Has it been reconfigured? What was the level of oil consumption before the misfire became apparent?
  23. Abundance of trivial or insignificant matter
  24. As said before, I now own the item in question in my shed, prepared for its next maintenance.
  25. Simply do a search on the site, since this question is posed on a weekly basis.
