  1. Those are some great recommendations.
  2. Hello, I need advice on where to get a new engine for my 530d. A knocking noise is to blame for this. I call Hertfordshire my home. Much obliged.
  3. Another option is to use a 5-10w solar panel connected to the OBD port, which is always live, especially if the vehicle is kept outside and not near an electrical outlet.

  5. My standard procedure is to use long-nose pliers to slide up the small white locking tab, then squeeze it to remove the plug. I believe that higher-spec foxwell, autel, launch, isa, etc., will be able to handle it, but the 301 won't.
  6. My apologies; I mistook it for having been replaced. If cleaning does not resolve the issue, the fault codes suggest a problem with the position sensing. Using a real Wahler valve is the way to go. In order for the ECU to learn the new valve positions, you must reset the adaptation with diagnostic equipment when you replace it.
  7. What brand of EGR did you install, and did you reset the adaptation?

  10. There shouldn't be any noticeable vibration at 2000 rpm, even if the engine mounts are damaged. They should be as silky smooth as the petrol 6s, but with a gruffer tone, so the engine must be running extremely rough. You can still learn a lot about its performance from a live diagnostic, even if the dashboard lights aren't on. If the EGR and manifold have not been decarbonised recently, it is worth doing so as it may improve the running of diesels that become rough due to soot buildup.
  11. I seriously doubt that BMW will extend any kind of assistance for a vehicle that is fourteen years old, regardless of its service history. It sounds more like something is going on with the belt run, so I would temporarily remove the aux belt and see if the noise continues.
  12. August 2025: Installation of a new Yuasa battery.
  13. The new facelift model of the Hi e90 330D from 2009 Every morning after the car has been standing overnight, I receive the message about increased battery discharge, which looks like a car on a ramp. However, after driving a few miles, the message disappears. Replaceable battery that is one year old. Just curious as to what it could be. Are you asking Ceydd what it is or where to begin searching? I am grateful.
  14. See the other side. I have no doubt they will offer you something tempting.....
