In order to optimise contacts, SCEH recommended simply unplugging them and then reconnecting them after dusting.

Following the advice of "sceh" in his suspension thread post, I'm going to try replacing the plugs in the brake switch and the wheel sensor.

The hold and cruise controls do not function, and the ABS warning light comes on whenever I turn the key.

The "Hold" and cruise control functions rely on the wheel-mounted speed sensor wire.

Because I have a few of ABS cables that I have removed but am unsure of their quality, I was wondering if there was a method to test them to see whether they were defective.

Where would you suggest I put this?

My 2012 X5 40d is experiencing problems with the turbo. After testing the vacuum lines and solenoids, the problem of the malfunctioning turbo charger vacuum box was identified as the source of the engine code 4530 that the ECU had been sending. It was determined that the vacuum box was the source of the issue after conducting a test with a vacuum pump. Vacuum did not hold. The hoover box is in an inconveniently situated area of the engine, so I'd be very appreciative if any users could point me in the right direction for replacing it. It has been mentioned to me that in order to access the linkage connections, it may be necessary to remove the little turbo. I would like to try to replace it on my own, so any advise would be helpful. I am grateful.

If I were to guess, I'd say you should talk to a Xentry representative about it.

Appears to have severed communications with the engine ECU. Assuming you didn't hydrolock the engine after plunging through floodwaters....

I appreciate it. Please...

Beneath that heatshrink is effectively a Raychem solder junction. The wicking process is halted when a solder block is placed on the strands. The early M271 engine, which had issues with the camshaft adjuster magnets, was the reason Mercedes made these. Interestingly, the issue didn't arise until Mercedes abandoned the long-used configuration of their wiring plugs. Modern techniques involve crimping tiny pins to the copper strands instead of soldering them, as opposed to the previous method of using large, spherical pins. Unchecked, the oil will wick up the copper to the other end, which is shocking to some.

You are aware that heatshrink can be applied with a heat gun. 😉

How intriguing that the CX-90 completely outshone the Q7 after you upgraded from a 23-year-old Lexus. The CX 90 has a number of quarks, including premium features that aren't up to par with Lexus or Audi, but it's aesthetically pleasing and has a leather inside. Though the brown quilted leather interior of my fully-loaded premium turbo S is stunning, I can't help but believe that it's missing a few high-end features found in the Lexus (even at 23MY) and the updated Q7. Guarantee that your software is flashed and updated correctly. It appears to have eliminated most of the peculiarities, but the gearbox is still really jerky; they called it sporty, but it's more like incredibly choppy. Mazda deserves a lot of credit for their exterior styling, which is noticeably more subdued compared to Lexus and the Q7.
