Although not identical, I have seen on my previous 2011 320D that sometimes the DSC (skiddy car symbol) would intermittently flash and momentarily engage the brakes when driving on the freeway. However, the speed drop was not as severe as you have described, and it is likely that a warning message would appear as well. I believe the issue was related to a malfunctioning wheel speed sensor.

The F31 Glass Hatch is experiencing difficulty in fully shutting.
Motoman replied to Motoman's topic in General Discussions
Thank you for your recommendations. Do you believe the issue might be attributed to the button or is it definitely caused by the latch? The cost of replacing the button is around £80 for the component, while the latch assembly is over £100. -

The button press did not cause it to return; I had to use effort to bring it back. -

Affirmative. By applying pressure with a screwdriver, the locking mechanism may be seen descending into position. Subsequently, I must elevate it upwards. Here are two images showing it in both orientations. -

Thank you. I have unplugged the battery but there has been no alteration or effect. The glass hatch is still failing to secure. There are no evident problems with the latching mechanism, however. Do you have any recommendations for the next course of action? -
I suggest enquiring on the speakev.com site, as they have a BMW EV community where you may find knowledgeable and supportive users.

The wall charger and cord are experiencing excessive heat.
Motoman replied to alpaco45's topic in General Discussions
The installer is the one who should be consulted. Admittedly, dealers often lack knowledge about the automobiles they sell, much alone a cable that is unrelated to their business. -

Motoman replied to alpaco45's topic in General Discussions
This is a discussion on the automobile. The battery is equipped with a coolant. During the charging process, if the battery temperature exceeds a certain threshold, the cooling system will activate and the fan will start operating to lower the temperature of the coolant. I am aware that on hot days (20°C), the temperature of the charging wire for my vehicle increases significantly compared to when it is chilly. However, I would argue that this is mostly caused by the high temperature of the tarmac and the surrounding environment, rather than any other factors. Furthermore, my device consistently consumes 7 kilowatts of power. In my opinion, the problem is most likely caused by the ambient temperature. -

Are you referring to the automobile or the structure known as a wall box in this context? -

To be honest. If the temperature is becoming too high, then request the presence of the installer to inspect and assess the situation. -
W212 E250 Sport - Confusion over choice of alloy wheels!
Motoman replied to CyberNinja's topic in General Discussions
I have a set of wheels on my 2011 w212 that are all the same size and not staggered. These wheels are specifically used for winter tires. I believe the size of the tires is 17 inches, but I will confirm this later today. The winter tires, naturally, have a softer composition. However, the difference between summer tires on the same AMG wheels you own and my winter configuration is really minor. In my opinion, it is unlikely that you will find a comfortable ride similar to the 'elegance' specification of the w212 model in most of the contemporary vehicles, regardless of whether they are Mercedes or not, unless you choose for a very luxurious and fully equipped air ride system. -
Insurance coverage for recently licenced young drivers

The price of £1400 for a C1 is rather high and may be considered expensive. I have a lot to anticipate, but as he just had his 15th birthday on Tuesday, I won't concern myself with it at the moment. I considered the price of £140 for my 3.0L Capri when I was 18 to be exorbitant! (However, that occurred in 1985 and I believe it was just TPFT!) -
Thank you for that. Based on my understanding, according to the information I have read, it is expected that ntg4.5 does not need programming. However, there is a possibility that it may still require programming. Indeed, your statement provides a plausible explanation for the rapid disappearance of the picture. I have conducted a thorough examination of the camera when in reverse gear, and it consistently displays a voltage reading of 11.7v when the picture becomes black. Perhaps the voltage is inadequate?
-
Thank you for your response. Indeed, the camera is equipped with a pair of cables. I already conducted a test on the reverse wire and found it to be functioning well. However, I have not yet tested it when the screen becomes dark. I want to do this test today. The display appears on the command screen and exhibits excellent quality for a brief duration before turning off completely. I will attempt the test when the screen becomes dark.

I have just placed a non-original reverse camera in my 2013 c250 cdi Amg sport vehicle. The camera displays a distinct picture for a brief duration, after which the image vanishes and the screen becomes devoid of any visual output. The automobile is equipped with Comand and features the ntg 4.5 system. I am perplexed as to why the picture abruptly vanishes despite the vehicle being in reverse gear. I connected the positive wire to the reverse light wire using a connector, and I connected the earth wire to the same earth as the fuse box. Assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Acquiring the ECU map requires specialised equipment, an area in which I possess little knowledge. If you explicitly want to merely do the recall process, I believe they cannot compel you to complete the upgrade. Were the turbocharger and actuator original equipment manufacturer (OEM) components or aftermarket? Has the automobile ever functioned properly after they performed maintenance on it?

Based on my own observation, chemicals are ineffective in preventing leaks between components that are in motion. These issues are mostly caused by an excessive amount of movement between a shaft and a bearing, or in some instances, a seal that has been hardened or fractured due to excessive movement. If oil is leaking between the gearbox and the engine, it is probable that the rearmost crankshaft bearing in the engine is the cause. Revamping engines is not really difficult, but it does need a well equipped garage.

Introducing a state-of-the-art carbon fibre steering wheel.
Motoman replied to DreamWeaver's topic in General Discussions
Who was the provider. Exquisite. Now you have provoked my contemplation. -
This is the consequence of a renowned and long-established automobile manufacturer driving a steel screw into an aluminium hole, fully aware that it would be subjected to various weather conditions. Embrace the power of heat and violence as allies in this battle. In my workshop, I own a tool known as a 'flame' arsenal. This tool utilises MAPP gas to produce a very concentrated and precise flame. As Jobsworth advises, caution must be used about the fuel tank. When I observe individuals on YouTube, they often use a plumber's gas torch to apply heat to objects when working on automobiles. I am usually curious about the specific component that the person is attempting to warm. What is the purpose of the nut and the bolt? or the whole assembly?

The need to switch out proximity keys in subsequent generations is not significant, since their batteries may be replaced and are not recharged while in the slot.
