W211 OM642 new glow plugs malfunctioning.
QuirkEinstein replied to DSM10000's topic in General Discussions
Are there two types of glow plugs in our engine? Some are 4.5 volts, while others are 12 volts. Do you currently possess several types of plugs for the engine? I am uncertain if this would have any impact. If you have never replaced the GP relay, it does not have an indefinite lifespan. -
2014 Ceed "slips" under stress, manual transmission
QuirkEinstein replied to QuirkEinstein's topic in General Discussions
I am stripping the vehicle down now, it needs to be in gearbox, clutch or double mass flywheel (if equipped). I will, of course, provide a solution. -
2014 Ceed "slips" under stress, manual transmission

Hi! I advise you look at the video. This issue is not related to the clutch; the gears do not disengage. The clutch operates well until the load becomes excessive, at which point it slips. -
2014 Ceed "slips" under stress, manual transmission
QuirkEinstein replied to QuirkEinstein's topic in General Discussions
In the film, the brake pedal is firmly depressed, and the parking brake is insufficient to maintain stability, resulting in considerable torque before "skipping" occurs. Until the time it falters, it seems quite normal, not reminiscent of a deteriorated clutch whatsoever. Has anybody encountered this situation previously? -
Filter medium for HVAC intake vents

The vacuum-operated lever is positioned high on the driver's side of the heater box. Verify that all connections are secure. -
Filter medium for HVAC intake vents
QuirkEinstein replied to QuirkEinstein's topic in General Discussions
I just repaired my heater box and placed it into the dashboard a few days ago. A vacuum-actuated lever controls the front flap. I am uncertain about what activates it to open or shut. It should regulate fresh or recirculated air. It is evident that rats consider it an ideal location to construct a nest if the previous owner neglects to store the rover in the garden for an extended period. -

RR Classic. This is the Classic section of the forum. I am uncertain on P38's. -

I was searching for a high-quality filter material to place behind the cowl vents when repairing my heater box and discovered this aquarium sponge filter pad intended for purifying aquarium water. This material is exceptional, exhibiting ideal thickness, remarkable durability, and facilitating enough airflow. Obtain the 20 PPI for optimal airflow.

How to activate the front passenger seat heating?
QuirkEinstein replied to Paqngo's topic in General Discussions
The principle is analogous to door locking, which can only be executed by the driver. -
This is not a UK specification vehicle, hence it will vary.

I believe that is the norm for the GT-Line and GTLine S. No alternative option.

I purchased a pre-owned KIA Sportage 2isg. Initial Registration 08 February 2021. I purchased it from a merchant in Belfast on June 27, 2024. I was unable to secure the gasoline flap door. I returned it to the vendor twice, but to no avail. The windscreen wipers malfunctioned, prompting me to schedule an appointment for inspection on January 9, 2025. They said that the water in the reservoir resembled a gelatinous material, but they would not impose a price for it. The repair of the gasoline flap door revealed that the fuel tank cap string was entangled in the door mechanism. That was not the situation when I last examined it that morning. They charged me £50.40. I believed it was still under warranty, but they informed me it was not. Does anybody have any insights on this matter?

Thank you very much. KissezFun, you have been really helpful. That is one location I have not examined. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas. Happy New Year

Assistance required for engine code 2885.

Thank you, friend. Do electric vehicles also have a negative impact on fuel efficiency? -
Assistance required for engine code 2885.
QuirkEinstein replied to QuirkEinstein's topic in General Discussions
Today, I conducted a smoke test on the impressive N14 by inserting a smoke machine into the oil filler cap. Placing cloth into the airbox intake and allowing smoke to permeate the whole system for a duration of 10 minutes. There was no smoke emitted save for a little amount from the area where the rags were placed. The only recourse that comes to mind at now is to maybe assess the functionality of my diverter valve. Can I activate this by applying a 12-volt power source and see movement or hear a clicking sound? This is my first experience dealing with turbos, so I am still somewhat unfamiliar with them. Thank you for your kind gesture. -
Assistance required for engine code 2885.

Instead of investing £60 on a smoker, what other options are considered safe to use? -
I have been observing and reading without actively participating for a long time. Recently, I purchased an R56 Cooper S. However, if I accelerate forcefully or just drive, the Engine Management Light (EML) appears and immediately reduces power, resulting in a lack of boost owing to entering limp mode. After doing a more thorough examination, it has been determined that the code is "2885," which corresponds to "Boost Deviation" (indicating low boost pressure, as I understand it). Despite doing thorough research on the internet, I have been unable to locate any definitive answers. The wastegate actuator has undergone inspection, adjustment, and cleaning. I ensured that it maintained pressure without any decrease. I inspected the vacuum lines without attaching it to the ramp. No cracks or weak areas that may enlarge when subjected to pressure were detected. I am utterly perplexed as to what subject or task to pursue next. Assistance in any kind would be much appreciated.
