FuseBox/Power/Battery/Dashboard No power to dashboard
WordSmith replied to Alex1978's topic in General Discussions
I believe it was referred to as a B+ cable problem. Consider searching for it on Google and seeing some videos that may assist you. I had this issue with a vehicle, however unplugging the battery restored its functionality. You could consider doing this, since there is nothing to lose. -

C220d AMG Line W205 - travelled 70,000 miles
WordSmith replied to Craigbelont's topic in General Discussions
Tyre pressures may assist, along with the brand and type of tyre, but cannot offset the disadvantages of 19-inch wheels and low-profile tyres. It is unclear if this is a new vehicle to you or whether you have driven it for 70,000 miles; nonetheless, the presence of a 'sports suspension' will determine the ride quality. I own 19-inch wheels on my E-Class Coupe, which is a compromise. -
Hello everyone, I am seeking a brake master cylinder for a right-hand drive BMW E21 320/6. I am encountering difficulties as I can only see options for left-hand drive vehicles, which have ports positioned incorrectly. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Upcoming project vehicle: W124 E320 Cabriolet

It will seem appropriate after you have resolved the matter. Is it Signal Red under the fading? -
W211 Xenon headlights consistently exhibit fogging.
WordSmith replied to jennycarlotta's topic in General Discussions
Have you contemplated altering the lenses? Aftermarket options appear to be accessible and rather straightforward to replace. One of my friends' headlights on his Fiesta becomes foggy, so he performs the maintenance annually. The expense for new xenon headlights from a dealer is £599.00 per side, raising doubts about the value of their replacement. -

How to activate the front passenger seat heating?
WordSmith replied to Paqngo's topic in General Discussions
I agree that the seat heating and cooling functions, in addition to the steering wheel warmer, need to be shown and operable from both the screen and the doors. It would be advantageous if the vehicle retained the driver's settings when powered off. I think the door switches quite cumbersome, and the visibility of the LED indicators when driving is inadequate. The remote temperature feature on the app disrupts all settings, necessitating a reset of the fan speed and air dispersion before to driving—unless I am overlooking something? -

Activate it using the app before to entering the vehicle. -
I reside in North London. I enquired about the compression test, and all responses indicated that it is unhelpful. Any garage capable of performing the test extensively.

I own a 2016 BMW with a B47 engine that is using excessive quantities of oil. No warning warnings are shown on the dashboard, and the vehicle operates well, save for a few instances of momentary jerking when idling at traffic lights and accelerating. There are no exhaust emissions. The oil usage started a year ago and progressively deteriorated over time. Presently achieving 60 miles per litre. I have observed that when removing the dipstick or oil cap after warming the engine, it emits smoke and a little oil mist. Having engaged with and visited many independent entities. It has been determined that there is no external leak; thus, combustion must be occurring. Some assert it is a turbo/DPF issue, while others contend it need a total engine rebuild. The engine operates normally. Opinions on the smoke from the dipstick vary; some consider it excessive, while others deem it average. Assistance and guidance are welcomed. Is the emission of smoke puffs typical? Are there any tests available in the UK to determine whether the engine pistons are failing?

Clunking sounds while shifting to reverse
WordSmith replied to TechWhiz's topic in General Discussions
My husband had this on his Range Rover upon its first acquisition. Resonated in a distinctly mechanical manner. He was instructed, on an uphill, to engage the handbrake and release the foot brake to allow the vehicle to stabilise, then shift into Park. Related to a pin. I will enquire with him. -
Thank you for the counsel! I acknowledge that OEM BMW sensors exhibit greater reliability, and I will take that into account. Your reference to water concerns is intriguing. My issues manifested immediately after an automated vehicle wash, suggesting a potentially similar situation. I will maintain the thread with my findings.

Thank you for your recommendation! The problem manifested shortly after an automated vehicle wash, rather than directly after the sensor replacement. I seldom use automated vehicle washes, leading me to question if water may have induced a wiring problem or a sensor failure. I will verify the wiring to ensure all connections are secure and that there is no damage or water infiltration.

Greetings to everybody, I own a BMW 4 Series F32 (420d M Sport) and am now seeing the following fault alerts on the dashboard: 1. Driving stabilisation. Operate the vehicle at a reasonable speed. Failure of the Flat Tyre Monitor (RPA). 3. Parking Assistance. Position yourself. These problems emerged immediately after an automated vehicle wash, an infrequent occurrence for me. I used a BMW OBD tool, which revealed a malfunction in the front right ABS sensor. I have since replaced the front right wheel bearing and the ABS sensor; yet, the faults persist. What I Have Verified: • Substituted the front right ABS sensor. • Examined the wiring and connections of the sensor. Utilised a diagnostic tool to rectify the issues, which persistently reoccur. My enquiries: 1. Is it possible that there exists another underlying reason for these issues notwithstanding the sensor replacement? 2. Is it possible that the automated vehicle wash caused harm to other components associated with the ABS or electrical systems? Should I examine additional sensors or the ABS module? 4. Is recalibration of the sensor required after the replacement of an ABS sensor? I appreciate your assistance and guidance in advance!

2022 Tucson Ultimate Hybrid - Electrical wire damage

I have not encountered that problem. We possessed a 2016 Chevrolet Colorado 4x4, an amazing vehicle, and the same applies. The mice had consumed the cables. It was stationed externally.
