Damage to the blades of a turbo impeller
alpaco45 replied to WordSmith's topic in General Discussions
I use pressured air to expel debris by means of a lengthy tube attached to an air line blower. Alternatively, one might utilise a substance such as brake cleaner. This involves procuring a 5-liter container, obstructing the orifice, pouring the cleaner within, and agitating it. To cleanse the pipes, one may affix a cloth to a length of rope and draw it through, yielding satisfactory results. -

In order to properly clean the intake pipes, it will be necessary to remove any plastic debris that may have accumulated in the intercooler and pipes. -

Only authentic JCW cars are equipped with a larger 211bhp compressor. Therefore, if a Cooper S is listed as having 174bhp to 184bhp, it is essentially the same. I have personally used Mellet products extensively and they have proven to be reliable. Alternatively, you could consider contacting Motorparts Direct and inquire about a remanufactured turbo. Specifically, if you call MPD in Callington and mention that Mini Mike recommended their remanufactured turbos, they will provide you with a price for a complete turbo if that is the method you prefer for fixing it.Avoid purchasing the £250 turbochargers from China online since they have a short lifespan. -

There is a distinction between JCW (John Cooper Works) and non-JCW models. The ordinary Cooper S model has a smaller compressor. -

Indeed, that plastic object has passed through your turbo impeller. https://www.ebay.com/itm/391074256244?hash=item5b0dd79574:g:2X8AAOSw6WFZ~J1-&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338767388&toolid=10001&customid=130832X1595941X54cc4621552821ad56ccf8a54e7d9786 -

The turbo has malfunctioned due to the plastic debris that has entered the intake pipe. It is probable that restoring the turbo oil pressure would resolve the issue. -
The BMW 525d F10 is experiencing a problem with the code 24CF00.

I resolved my issue by using mapping techniques. However, the potential causes might vary, ranging from a vacuum leak to a boost sensor or MAF sensor malfunction. These components are interconnected, including pressure converters, which may also contribute to the problem. -

While I do not really like black wheels, one advantage is that they do not show brake dust. -

Elaborating noun Auto detailing refers to the meticulous cleaning of both the inside and outside of a car, as well as doing small repairs to enhance its overall look. According to the definition, it just has to be free of dirt and not subjected to paint correction or polishing/waxing. -

I prefer to clean my automobiles instead of detailing them, since I do not reside in the United States. Is it expected for them to have a glossy appearance?...I have seen that Mercedes offers a range of alternative finishes for its wheels, ranging from a matte appearance to a very glossy finish. -

Begin cleaning the breakers. Subsequently, get a bodyshop to accommodate their needs. -
It is essential to ensure that the tyres are inflated to a higher pressure level within the permissible range, sometimes referred to as a 'laden automobile'. Additionally, replenish the gasoline tank with high-quality fuel such as Shell V-Power or BP Ultimate, or alternatively, add fuel additives like Redex, Millers, or Forte.

The dashboard has been inundated with warnings.
alpaco45 replied to Screwdriver_1's topic in General Discussions
To address the issue, I recommend placing silica bags in and around the dashboard. Additionally, I would inspect the drains on both sides of the engine bay to ensure they are unobstructed. Given the recent heavy rainfall, it is likely that you have inspected the carpets for moisture. It may be advisable to remove the cabin filter and assess any potential damage. If the vehicle is parked on the driveway, it is possible that a small blow heater, set to its lowest setting in the footwell and powered by the garage overnight, could be used to rectify the issue. If this proves effective, it suggests the presence of a minor leak in the vehicle.
