  1. I will periodically revive this discussion thread to ensure that it remains in our collective memory. Alternatively, you have the option to purchase it, thereby resolving the issue.
  2. Upon seeing this, you immediately sprang to mind. I strongly recommend purchasing it, since you may experience regret for not doing so in the coming years.
  3. In my opinion, the C63 should have a lower height compared to the AMG line cars since I am not experiencing any instances of the vehicle's underside hitting the ground.
  4. I have a different opinion from them. I believe the gear box is superb. I really like the paddle option, particularly in situations when I need to overtake.
  5. I am currently satisfied with the ride quality and suspension of my 2017 AMG line C Class Estate. I own wheels that measure 18 inches in diameter and I do not believe that the distance between the ground and the bottom of the vehicle is a significant issue. I have traversed a few rural roads (which did not need a 4x4 vehicle) and had no issues with ground clearance.
  6. My apologies, but I do not know where you are situated. If someone has ista, they may be able to provide assistance.
  7. A pair of sensors will be present, with one on each side. Could you please provide access to Isa, since it would be the most suitable diagnostic tool for doing fault finding? Test plans include a list of things to be examined and accompanying illustrations.
  8. I will conduct an investigation and provide a report.
  9. Regrettably, I was unable to locate one and ultimately relinquished my efforts.
  10. Does this vehicle have an AUX input? I have heard of a glovebox, but I am unable to locate one. I have been informed that the TV module is there, but unfortunately, that feature is not accessible on my vehicle. Does the AUX input exist anywhere, please?
  11. Another vote in favour of the battery as a probable cause.... Alternatively, if you want an alternative recommendation, where do you store it while it is not being utilised? Introduction of new members (Tasty engine loom)
  12. Were you successful in resolving this? I am experiencing a similar problem.
  13. I feel the same way. The effectiveness of the wiper is excessive, resulting in insufficient rainfall to adequately moisten the windscreen for the wiper's motion.
  14. Thank you, Blu_Ray_UK2007 I have ordered a Crank sensor, however I will definitely clean the IVP while I am working on it.
  15. I installed a Bosch distributor cap and rotor arm. I inspected the HT leads using an OHM metre and found them all to be within specifications, along with Bosch spark plugs.
  16. Thank you for responding dave783. The automobile was experiencing stalling issues at moderate speeds, such as at crossroads. That is logical.
  17. I would want to seek advice from the forums on the difficulties I am experiencing with starting my '89 300CE in both cold and hot conditions. I am not a professional technician, but I am a good amateur with expertise working on Jet tronic systems from BMW motorcycles that I rebuild. The automobile was inactive for around 6 months. I managed to start and move it about 2 weeks ago, but it stuck on the way home and just restarted this morning. The warm/hot startup problem existed prior to storage, prompting the replacement of the fuel pressure regulator and pumps. The symptoms include a car that spins over energetically but fails to start. When the key is withdrawn from the start position, the engine tries to start, sometimes firing on one or two cylinders before stalling abruptly. (I suspect a potential issue with the crank sensor or timing being wrong) After fully charging the battery overnight, I successfully started and ran the vehicle this morning. However, after allowing it to idle till reaching operating temperature, it stuck when I attempted to move it and now it would not begin. The pumps and fuel pressure regulator are new and functioning well during priming. I have inspected the OVP relay by removing and opening it, and found it to be in excellent condition inside and externally. I have inspected the EZL and distributor contacts and confirmed they are free of dirt and moisture. Spark plugs replaced. Recently fitted a new distributor cap and rotor. Applied WD40 to the crank sensor cables yesterday night as a precaution against moisture. Can someone provide me with a diagnostic method to assist me start the system and fix the hot restart problem? All views, comments, and opinions are welcomed and valued.
  18. When you pay BMW, they are obligated to honour the payment. If it's not less expensive, I would choose an independent mechanic above other options. The service departments at BMW dealerships are often subpar.
  19. No comparison Bentley is in the realm of Rolls-Royce, but Mercedes-Benz is not.
  20. The engine exhibits a low and uneven idle speed. I would suggest considering a potential hoover leak. All components have been thoroughly inspected and verified.
  21. Greetings, I am now experiencing a vacuum leak in my 260E M103 Engine. I acquired a smoke detection apparatus. The system operates at a pressure of 19 pounds per square inch (psi). There is no mechanism to decrease the pressure. I am inquiring about the level of safety. Apprehensive about potential internal injury. I appreciate your assistance beforehand.
  22. The product is LL04 compliant and is a 5w 30 fully synthetic oil. It is available in a 20 litre container and costs £72 plus VAT.
  23. The observed phenomenon has resemblance to the occurrence of bump steer on uneven road surfaces, which may be attributed to a bent arm. This phenomenon occurs when a suspension or steering component becomes deformed, resulting in an alteration of the suspension's compression and extension trajectory. Consequently, the steering system undergoes a deviation from its intended behaviour. Uneven road surfaces may induce a sense of instability in automobiles. Greetings
  24. In the aforementioned region, it is possible that the seat-belt buckle may be oriented incorrectly when in the "parked" position. This observation was made in my own experience, particularly when I would perceive auditory disturbances originating from that vicinity. Upon alighting from the vehicle, my spouse consistently has a tendency to rotate the seat belt upon its release, subsequently repositioning it next to the pillar. However, due to the absence of any cushioning, the buckle comes into contact with the B frame plastic panel located in close proximity to the seat, failing to assume the appropriate position. There are no instances of rattles or creaking seen in my CX-30 vehicle.
  25. The forum's exceptional qualities contribute to its overall excellence. Provides valuable insights accompanied with engaging conversation, and in my own circumstance, the presence of a spouse...
