  1. Could this possibly elucidate the absence of suction on my oil cap? It is said online that white smoke will emanate from the oil fill hole with the engine running if the PCV is defective; however, I am not observing any smoke.
  2. Thank you for your excellent response, my friend.
  3. This response is excellent. Does this appear to be a turbo seal or PCV issue? I am uncertain if there is an excessive amount of oil, but it feels excessive to me.
  4. Greetings I require assistance in determining the next steps to take, if someone could provide advise on this matter. The car's low oil pressure issue has been resolved, since it contained only 1.5 litres of oil. New oil and a filter have rectified the problem. The DPF readings on live data where at 25 so thats getting blocked up along with EGR codes in the system so the customer wants the DPF pulled out, on approach to pulling the DPF off, I have observed gobs of oil from the turbo. There is no play in the turbine; the car was boosting adequately until low-pressure error codes appeared. The turbo intake side is not oily, which leads me to question whether the issue is with the turbo oil seals or the PCV system. With the engine running and the oil cap removed, I am not observing any suction from the oil fill opening, which suggests that the issue may be related to the PCV system. Aim to prevent haphazardly discarding components. Thank you.
  5. Thank you both. I am considering whether to invest in Koni Active Special shocks initially or to get tyres, as I previously had them on my old Saab, and they significantly improved performance on uneven surfaces while maintaining commendable handling. I am thoroughly enjoying the 435i; however, I will definitely replace the tires, which appear to be new, so I am attempting to be prudent on the timing of the replacement.
  6. Before investing over £800 in Pilot Sports to replace my Pirelli P7 Run Flats, I would like to enquire whether anyone has undertaken this transition to enhance ride quality. I possess a 4 Series equipped with M Sport suspension, and the ride is somewhat harsh in urban settings. Enquiring whether substituting run-flat tires with conventional ones may diminish the impact experienced when traversing bumps. I acknowledge it remains a sports suspension; however, if I can mitigate the harshness of bumps and ruts, it will justify the expenditure! I am aware of numerous debates regarding tyres, but I specifically seek information about these particular tyres. Thank you.
  7. I was astonished by the clay bar, since I had previously shampooed it, however pollutants were still removed despite its very clean appearance. 😳
  8. Indeed, I also used a McGuire's 3-inch microfiber applicator.
  9. Utilized a clay bar and was quite satisfied with the quality achieved with Autoglym products today; however, my back conveys a different sentiment. 🤣
  10. The intriguing aspect was that a contemporary luxury vehicle, equipped with several safety features, could become very unstable from a little acceleration while navigating a gently curve at a modest velocity. The situation deteriorated when he collided with a tree, which always results in adverse outcomes due to the immobility of the object. However, it ought to have been a film lasting no more than ten minutes. Regarding physical fitness, this appeared on my YouTube stream yesterday. The owner/driver was an active member at that time (November 2019), but I do not remember him referencing this occurrence. It is fortunate that no one was injured.
  11. It is necessary to click the supplied link.
