  1. I wouldn't use anything less than a real kit or one from a respectable company considering the amount of work that would be required and the potential outcomes if they weren't any good.
  2. It is important to note that low oil pressure does not inherently indicate low oil level. Low oil level is only significant if it results in low oil pressure; however, low oil pressure may arise from various other underlying issues. Therefore, monitoring oil pressure is more crucial than tracking oil level.
  3. The driver need not monitor the oil level while operating the vehicle; this was typically assessed using a dipstick on a weekly basis or before to an extensive trip. The sole scenario in which the oil level may precipitously and unexpectedly decrease to near-empty is if the oil sump sustains a sudden fracture or the drain plug detaches; hence, the oil pressure warning light will undoubtedly activate promptly. Traditionally, most vehicles were equipped solely with an oil pressure switch rather than a low oil level sensor, which could have been easily installed, because a low oil level does not provide an immediate threat as long as the oil pressure remains enough. An insufficient oil level may result in long-term damage; however, this is sufficiently mitigated by weekly dipstick inspections. The emergence of automotive electronics has resulted in sensors for numerous functions; however, this does not imply that all monitored parameters are essential. A low oil level may trigger an amber or white alert—indicating a warning or informational status—signifying 'continue driving and rectify at your earliest convenience,' however low oil pressure will consistently activate a red alert, indicating 'cease operation, turn off the engine.'
  4. The low oil pressure indicator will activate well in advance of this occurrence.

  6. The electronic oil level metering system is designed to alert diesel vehicle operators of oil overfill, which can be detrimental to the engine. This explains why Mercedes-Benz diesel-engine vehicles were the initial recipients of this system. It subsequently became a prevalent convenience feature in several fuel variants. For the majority of engine types equipped with this technology, it is indeed possible to purchase an oil dipstick and continue to assess the oil level using conventional methods. For a diesel engine, two key factors concerning engine oil are an excessively high oil level and insufficient oil pressure. All other factors are subordinate, including the low oil level and the precise oil pressure measurement.
  7. It is too late, even prior to payment; it remains your assertion versus theirs regarding the pre-existing dents upon your submission. It is advisable to circumnavigate the vehicle and reach a consensus on the existing damage prior to relinquishing it to them. I frequently had customers engage in that behaviour. I already integrated this with individuals inspecting the vehicle prior to departing the premises. This effectively deterred individuals from doing it, of which there were several. I employed the same procedures when I transitioned to the caravan work. Five minutes of effort to prevent considerable distress for both parties. While not implying this applies to you, I frequently see customers who deliver automobiles with damage of which they are genuinely unaware, however they might have identified it at collection and subsequently expressed dissatisfaction.
  8. A genuine Testarossa is a regular at SADCADE, and it is black. The hue is incorrect, but the car is excellent; yet, it has not aged as gracefully as many Ferraris and is representative of its time.
  9. Thank you for that; it appears that mine has also just commenced. extremely peculiar
  10. Has anyone experienced issues with the InControl app freezing, resulting in the inability to access information from the vehicle, including the charging status of the plug-in hybrid battery? I am presently awaiting a response from Range Rover. They have already provided me with a reset for the incontrol; however, it has not been effective.
  11. I observed this in October 2025; however, it could be a defective EGR module. Last year, I encountered a comparable issue with my vehicle in Japan, which resulted in a recall being issued. Following the installation of a new component at BMW's expense, the issue was resolved and everything is functioning properly. If the issue persists, it may be prudent to investigate that matter.
  12. The digital rearview mirror display is exclusively available on the highest model levels.
  13. Greetings to everyone, I possess a 2010 BMW 5 Series, model 520D, F10. I recently replaced my headlight bulbs with new H7 LED bulbs. Bulbs of comparable strength [200W/50000LM/6500K]. Subsequently, I get the following two errors on my dashboard: Left Low-Beam Headlight Malfunction Right Low-Beam Headlight Malfunction Upon examination with an OBD2 reader, I receive: Errors 800F2E/800F2F: Left/Right Low-Beam Headlight, Malfunction or Reignition Failure for Xenon When I activate my light, both errors vanish. Each time I initiate the process, I consistently encounter these errors until I activate the lights. Do you have any insights regarding the errors I am encountering? What is the reason for the mention of "Xenon" in the error? Approximately three weeks ago, while replacing the bulbs, I inadvertently cleaned the connector with Standard WD-40 instead of the appropriate Contact Cleaner. Could this be a rationale?
