I will be utilising @WordSmith in the near future for a comprehensive engine refresh, and I am eagerly anticipating it. I am attempting to acquire knowledge regarding the engine components of the Mini, as my activities primarily involve reading and seeing films related to my car model. -
Greetings. I am a novice in mini ownership and I thoroughly enjoy it. Could somebody provide photos depicting the names and locations of all the sensors on my mini, please? Thank you.

Indeed, I have not engaged with it since its inception.

Upon pressing the button after initially disengaging, the parking brake activates when I halt and deactivates upon accelerating; I possess a 2022 model. Am I overlooking something with the second generation?

I need a replacement for the rear tires on my 600SL. I have Continental tires on the front. I am unable to locate any Continentals for sale in the UK that are of the appropriate size. Is it OK to pair two Michelin or Pirelli tires on the rear, or must I replace the front tires with the same brand as those on the back?

Eliminate Connect from the set and calculate the appropriate fee manually. Utilize the OVO application to recharge the vehicle.

OM642 P0101FA - W213 2019 - Limp mode / limited power

P0101FA - The air mass meter 1 is malfunctioning. -
I am experiencing difficulties with P0101FA on a Mercedes Benz W213. I have substituted the mass airflow meter and air filter, and I have calibrated the HFM data using Icarsoft v2.0. The vehicle enters a limp state or has reduced power after reaching 2,500 to 3,000 RPM. The limp mode and check engine light unexpectedly disappeared for around three weeks. I have just returned. I observed that when re-adapting the MAF (Hfm drift values xxxxx), the present correction values are all 0%. Is this the correct form? I recall they were all around 10 years old (when there was no limp/CEL). Should the correction values be set to 0% with a functioning MAF? Is there anybody else who had the same problem?

My 2020 S205 has acquired an annoying squeak, which I have identified as originating from behind the N/S boot trim, located right behind the rear seat beneath the 3/4 panel window (circled in red). Applying pressure on it allows me to reproduce the squeak. Interestingly, when I park the vehicle with the brakes off and strike this place with my fist, the electronic handbrake engages. I assume that electronics or a kind of sensor are concealed inside. I am unable to determine how to detach the carpeted trim, since the clasp for the folding seat back obstructs my ability to remove the panel. I would really appreciate guidance or advice on the contents behind the panel and the procedure for its removal. A components diagram for the region would be beneficial.

Revisited the site this morning! I meticulously completed all tasks as required. Springs oriented correctly, etc. On the ground, still emitting noises like the top mount bearings. 😩 Considering the purchase of OEM bearings for one more attempt.
-
Both parties are engaging in this behavior. I suspect that the bearing is not moving as easily as it ought to. Everything operated well prior to reinstallation of the struts; but, once subjected to load, the noise begins. The springs seemed to be properly positioned.
-
It seems like either the spring is attempting to engage the upper rubber shim or excessive pressure is being applied to the bearing during wheel rotation. Audible inside the vehicle and discernible at the top mount behind the hood. At this pace, I will revert to the conventional springs, but I am also concerned that the issue may persist thereafter.

Has anybody have difficulties putting H&R 35mm springs on their W212? Several months ago, I had them installed on my E350 CDI, and since I retrieved the vehicle, it has been producing a popping noise during certain turning maneuvers at low speeds. Only the gradual rotation speeds, without any additional noise from bumps, etc. The top mounts and bearings were replaced simultaneously. It is driving me to distraction! I have since removed them and substituted the rubber shims at both the bottom and top of the shock, as well as changed the Top Mount/Bearing with a new brand, nevertheless the same noise persists. This weekend, I replaced the shocks with new ones due to a blown shock and installed new 25mm lowering springs; nonetheless, the popping noise persists from the top section of the strut. Do you have any suggestions on the potential cause of this problem or where to begin? I like the aesthetic of the reduced configuration and prefer not to change to the regular height.

Numerous 'Pass through' ratchet sets are available, or one may use a ratchet spanner. However, purchasing an 18mm variant may result in seldom usage. I have been use this publicly accessible product for decades.

E90 pre-ICi sidemarkers exhibit rapid flashing.

What do you mean by need a second earth? Where should the secondary earth wire be connected to the bulb holder and the vehicle? Could you provide diagrams or explain the procedure? Thank you for your response! -

The previously burnt bulb exhibits blackened or charred pins beneath. I have cleaned it by scraping lightly, and today I will sand it down and re-prime it if the contact remains inadequate. Where is the earth pin for the backlight or tail light located in the trunk, or where is the screw that connects all earth wires to the car body from the trunk? I attempted to locate it online, but only instructions for repairing the cables connecting the car to the trunk are available if the wire is damaged. Thank you for your remark! -

Salutations, Two days ago, I had an unusual error: all side markers (front, side, and rear) flash rapidly when I activate the left or right side markers. However, when the hazard lights are engaged, the blinking speed is normal. Bimmerlink indicates various problems, however all bulbs are functioning properly. This morning, I started the car, and all systems functioned normally, including the side markers. However, after driving for over two hours and parking the vehicle at home, the problem reoccurred after one hour of inactivity, and the blinking speed of the markers increased once more. I possess a 2008 BMW E90 Pre-ICI from Germany. I suspect that a grounding connection may be corroded or damaged, as it has been raining for an entire week, perhaps allowing water to into the trunk. The day prior, I encountered issues with the markers; one bulb for the trunk stripes was defective (blackened and burnt). I changed it and observed a single drop of water on the burned bulb. No corrosion was detected in the light bracket, nor was there any visible evidence of water. What should be the next focus? I believe the Footwell module is not defective, as it functioned for over two hours today without any issues. Do you believe the wires beneath the "harmonica" protection attached to the trunk are compromised, or is there corrosion (water damage) affecting the grounding within the boot? Where should I inspect for grounding connections to the vehicle in the boot? Any assistance is appreciated, as I am uncertain where to proceed next, given that all lights are functional. -
I am apprehensive about acquiring music from unfamiliar internet platforms or those lacking endorsements from reputable individuals, mostly due to the elevated costs and associated hazards. Has anyone experienced a favourable outcome purchasing music from these websites? I seek feedback from those who have effectively utilised them, as I am apprehensive of investing a substantial sum in tunes, only to incur additional costs for installation and possible dealer consultations, particularly considering the engine's considerable value. I would like to enquire whether anyone has utilised the ECU Clone service available on eBay or through third parties. I possess an extended warranty until 2027, and I am considering purchasing an ECU and cloning it for convenient interchangeability. This appears to need considerable effort merely to opt out of DEF.
