  1. I just moved to Hong Kong and need to bring my CLS63S AMG Shooting Brake with me since the now-extinct body form and the outstanding 5.5-liter V8 M157 engine are both too uncommon to simply sell and leave behind. Due to the fact that this was my own vehicle in the United Kingdom, up until a month ago, it had the potential to be exempt from complying with the most recent emissions requirements (HK is presently testing to Euro 6C), but the local authorities have since revoked this exemption without providing any prior notice. In order for the M157 to conform to the more stricter Euro 6C NOx regulations, I will need to discover a means to detune the vehicle, despite the fact that it already satisfies the requirements of the original Euro 6 emissions standard. Obviously, I am aware that this will have an effect on both the performance and the drivability of the vehicle, but I am certain that we will be able to get over that obstacle once the vehicle is in this location.
  2. My flat roof is deteriorating. GRP-finished goods. No redress was available since the original constructor fell through. We've had many people examine it in detail (some of whom we know, including a few builders we've employed in the past and the ones who installed the glass), and the general view is that the GRP has likely cracked even if nothing is immediately obvious. If so, it has to be replaced or at the at least, re-covered. I'm curious about the benefits and drawbacks, especially from experts like @Darrell. everything seems that the only option is to tear everything apart, re-board everything, then finish it with either felt or rubber (EPDM?) Alternately, sand down what is already there and paint over it with Triflex. Finish with lead flashing in any scenario.
  3. It would seem that your battery has run out of juice. A depleted battery will eventually fail due to this. And the answer is that it will do so even when disconnected from an external source or battery. Because of the low voltage that is being supplied, the coil will not produce a strong spark, making it difficult to start the vehicle. In the event that it is electronic, there will most likely not be any spark at all. Investing in a new battery after it has been used for six years is a smart idea.
  4. I've gone through the process of buying and replacing many bicycle helmets. Only three simple actions are required. Is it the minimum standard mandated by law? Does it have a good fit? 3. Is it within my budget? Shoei seemed overly rounded and broad for my feet. The Arai's were a good fit, but the cushioning was excessively thick. My preference is for AGVs since I am not one to skimp on quality. I was in a major collision; I don't think I'd be here to express my thoughts if I'd been wearing a cheap helmet at the time.
  5. Hi everyone.My car's engine started to knock about two months ago.The car engine is now being put back together.The road bearing for cylinder 3 is gone.The engine journal has marks on it.a lot of metal rods Took the engine apart.Block is scraped and drilled again.new oil pump, new oil cooler, new timing chain, new seals, etc.People told me to buy a used engine, but I didn't want to take the chance.These guys look like they're doing a good job. A few of them have worked for BMW in the past, so they know what they are doing. I'll let you know when the work is done.Thanks to everyone who replied to the last post.
  6. When I have some uncertainties about a subject, I trust my buddy "Google," and he occasionally protects me from doing something I would regret later. I googled the company's name and discovered some positive comments about Enviosec group, now it's up to you to decide whether or not to continue working with them, perhaps someone on the platform has actually worked with them and can corroborate that everything went smoothly. Cheers
  7. This is becoming a recurring topic among forum posters, so I've written this to avoid having to repeat myself! What should I do if my BMW's dashboard problem light does not turn off? If you are unable to resolve the issue, a diagnostic scan is the solution. The engine light has returned, and I've just recently had the vehicle serviced?! To effectively understand the codes, an OBD2 scan (or OBD 1 for pre-1995 vehicles) is required. My automobile isn't operating properly, and I'm stumped as to what the issue may be. How should I proceed? Request a diagnostic scan from a reputable local garage. Most will have the capability of scanning the great majority of BMWs. The cost should range from £25 to £40, depending on location and other considerations. Get a printout (if possible) or a handwritten note of the precise problem codes sent by the ECU and put them here. It makes remotely assisting you much simpler... I'm not sure...is it worthwhile to have one of these OBD diagnostic scans? My vehicle only runs poorly internally?! Yes, indeed! The ECU saves fault codes when they are reported by different components on the vehicle during operation. Even if your issue is intermittent, there is a significant probability that the ECU recorded an error code throughout the fault period, which may save you a lot of time and money. To summarise, modern BMWs feature more sensors and computerised reporting systems, increasing the chance of a defect being detected. With somewhat older vehicles...it is still a BMW, and as such, it is intelligent by nature! The trouble codes may be an excellent guide to resolving any issues with your vehicle. Examples// A malfunctioning ABS sensor that causes an ABS warning light to illuminate on your dashboard will notify the ECU, with many versions actually notifying the computer which sensor (which wheel) is at fault. Your automobile is guzzling (expensive) petrol like there's no tomorrow. You're quite sure it wasn't always this horrible!! What could it possibly be? There is a strong likelihood that the Lambda sensor(s) (also known as the O2 sensor(s)) are to blame. This will be recorded as a defect in the ECU and will confirm whether that is the issue. This list will be expanded as time allows!
