It is reassuring to hear that, Phil. It is commendable that you obtained an excellent bargain. What is the condition of the new family vehicle?

The service menu should indicate the presence of an AdBlue system.

😁

It does not possess a stop-start feature, does it?

My W213 E63S underwent a recall for the front struts; however, upon inspection, it was determined that the struts were not of the affected kind, rendering the recall unnecessary. It seems that they switched vendors at some point. Uncertain whether the struts are identical, however there seems to be no rationale for their dissimilarity; they likely possess varying damping characteristics but share a basic housing.

😇😉

The original poster seems to have not returned to the forum.

Impressive outcome, Bobafett; the reflections are fantastic, and you have executed an outstanding work on your MB; it seems magnificent.

My argument is that the same cooling system operates with a much hotter engine, resulting in the fans, water pump, and other components being active for an extended period after shutdown, which leads to battery drainage problems.

While intriguing, it remains distinct from the S63; the S68 has a straight-six configuration, thereby avoiding hot-vee complications. Subsequent research conducted last night suggests that the battery drain problem has been rectified in subsequent models, with the primary concern now being adequate maintenance, since inadequate oil changes result in turbo failure. I am now rather confident with this engine.

The M5 does not possess a lithium battery, to my knowledge. The cooling fan of most contemporary vehicles typically operates for five to ten minutes; however, the M5 can sustain cooling for a much extended duration owing to its hot-vee configuration.

I am now seeking to acquire a 2022/23 F90 M5. I have conducted some research on the S63 engine, and it seems that the predominant troubles are related to its hot-vee configuration, which causes the cooling system to remain operational for an extended period after shutdown, resulting in battery complications. What further prevalent issues should I be vigilant about? I will get a RAC examination before making any purchase for reassurance.

I'm pleased you resolved the issue. I no longer engage in such activities (due to age and disability), but I have prior experience in that regard.

Numerous discussions on the Sportage vulnerabilities indicate that many individuals prefer using a mechanical steering wheel lock, which also serves as a visible deterrent. instead of an auxiliary alarm system.

To contribute to this subject, GM Engine Sealant is a black RTV used on the camshaft covers of the GM/Opel/Vauxhall V6 Engine, and it is evidently resistant to high-temperature engine oil. Ultimately, all is well that concludes well.

Worn shock absorbers would result in this issue.

Another bozo, ha ha ha.I suspect he has been compromised.

It is located in America.

The issue may lie with the exhaust back pressure sensor, as I identified in my vehicle when it exhibited unpredictable behaviour, failing to shift gears appropriately and not revving correctly, resulting in restricted power. I had several problems, however the pressure sensor displayed a consistent value regardless of whether the engine was running or not. After installing a new sensor, the issue was resolved.

Thank you for your response, friend. I primarily desire safety; I am not really concerned with optimal performance or brand compatibility. All of mine correspond with my vehicle, however.

Greetings, everyone. My wife's automobile failed its MOT due to the installation of a mismatched tyre on one of the rear wheels that I had replaced. She returned to have it replaced, however I have just verified that the new one is now a ZR19 instead of an R19. Additionally, I observed that the two rear tires that were changed are W, while the two front tires are Y. Presented herein are the precise dimensions and evaluations. Posterior tires 245/40R19 94W 245/40ZR19 98W Anterior tires 245/40R19 98Y 245/40R19 98Y My enquiries are: (a) Will they pass the MOT since they are all of uniform size? (b) Should I replace the rear tyre, currently ZR19, with R19, and must both rear tyres match the front two in specification, requiring both to be 98Y instead of one being 98W and the other 94W? I would much appreciate any suggestions. The vehicle is an F11. Salutations.

The glowplug circuit is protected by a 225 Amp fuse; therefore, if the relay were to malfunction and all six plugs remained continuously on, I anticipate there would be additional complications. An open circuit may indicate a connector or wiring issue that is temporarily resolved by replacing the plug. Have you evaluated the plugs you have extracted?

I am interested aswell

I’ve been quoted a min £4k to have engine fixed. The cost of a new engine is from $4,000 to $5,000, while the car's estimated value is approximately $6,000 to $7,000. I am located in Northumberland.

Merely a little note... The love of my life has departed from me. 💔 The crankshaft bearings of my F10 535d have failed, resulting in significant engine damage at 109,000 miles. It has been annually serviced, meticulously maintained, and is in generally satisfactory condition for its age. Up until this climactic conclusion, it operated seamlessly. Has anyone else encountered or heard of this? What do you estimate its value to be for sale as spare parts or for repair purposes?
