It suggests a potential internal problem with the ECU, however this is only a conjecture based on your description.

Connecting the wire from the old loom to the new plug lead and inserting it into a Wago will not provide an accurate signal to the SAM. He demonstrated on his multimeter that no voltage was present in the wago. Removing it and appropriately soldering and heat-shrinking is the optimal approach. I planned to do that but erroneously believed that momentarily combining them in a wago would suffice. All is good, and I will be informed for future reference.

Engaged an automotive electrician. He identified the issue immediately. I temporarily used Wago connectors to link the wires from the harness to the new plug. Incorrect. It took the individual 20 minutes to disassemble my connectors and accurately solder and heat-shrink the connections. Completely encased in harness tape and £85 poorer. Returned to the MOT station, where a pass was granted after a brief inspection. Now available for immediate sale.

MOT failure. It seems that the flashing indication at the back of the vehicle is an emergency signal. I have not encountered it before, but I am always eager to acquire knowledge. Seeking to contact an auto electrician suggested by the proprietor of the MOT station. There has been no success so far. He had been on vacation and returned on August 11th.

I will ascertain the information tomorrow.

My S204 (59 plate) was scheduled for a MOT last week, and the day before to the appointment, the near-side rear indicator malfunctioned, accompanied by a notification on the dashboard. Upon inspecting the rear of the light, I saw that the brown earth wire in the connecting connector had completely burned out, accompanied by a charred pin, despite another earth wire being connected to the bodywork and lighting unit. I opted to get an additional n/s/r light unit along with a new plug and harness cables from MB Newcastle and eBay. Upon connecting the new connector to the old wire, the indicator functions; however, the flasher in the cluster operates at double the speed. Inquiry? Is there a relay or rear SAM problem preventing the cluster from flashing in synchrony with the external indicator? Will it still pass the MOT scheduled for tomorrow? The indicator functions correctly; however, the internal flasher operates at an accelerated rate. Desire to resolve this issue prior to listing it for sale.

Best of luck, my friend; please inform us of the outcome. 👍👍

The primary battery requires recharging or replacement. Frequent issues, all associated with diminished battery voltage. Abandoning it for two weeks has significant meaning. To be honest.

Indeed, you may place advertisements here, but only in the part to which I linked in my first post.

I am here to assist all members, from the nasty and irritating to the nice and bothersome. It is a thankless endeavor, but I am compensated with the ability to use the ban button.

Indeed, the Z3 is constructed on a truncated E36 chassis, along with shared engines and several other components. If you like to sell components from this, please use the parts for sale area.

In the past, I would disable the electricity to the fuel pump, anticipating that I would hear them attempting to start the automobile without success.

Apply a UV-protective lacquer. Some lens polishing kits include it.

Did it undergo the EGR cooler recall inspection or replacement?

A free replacement is not assured. Various sellers appear to have distinct methodologies. I am uncertain whether your decision to have children will influence them. If anything is hazardous, it is hazardous. Best of luck; please inform us of your progress.

If you can choose your specific automobile from the list on this page, you should be able to examine the engine schematics to ascertain what you want. Select the first six digits from your VIN to get the accurate variation, since other C180 options are available on the website.

Each axle is equipped with two matching tires (make/type), since not all makes of tires of the same size possess identical physical rolling radii. Several years ago, the space-saver activated the ABS warning light on one of my vintage vehicles from the 1990s.

has just the primary statistic, without any other metrics on EGR

The oil temperature is satisfactory at around 100 degrees, but the coolant temperature is lower than desired, albeit not enough low to inhibit regeneration processes at this time. Start the engine from a cold state and observe if the hose from the thermostat heats up at the same pace as the other components. If it does, the thermostat is likely jammed open, since it should remain cold until it opens at around 85 degrees Celsius.

Simplifies the process by eliminating concerns about the gearbox cooler thermostat.

Is it automatic or manual?

That is the oil temperature, not the coolant temperature; it is advisable to verify the coolant temperature first and proceed accordingly.
