  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.
  12. It is possible that the seat taper is the impediment. Illustrated bolts for aftermarket alloy wheels.
  13. https://www.ebay.co.uk/?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338181132&toolid=10001&customid=2518X1570512X0c45f14ecd70a0118bd7450ed43e7f26
  14. eBay specifies a thread length of 26 to 28 mm and an overall bolt length of 40 mm.
  15. Greetings everyone, I like reading the threads, but I often find it hard to comprehend the discussions owing to the prevalence of TLAs and FLAs (three-letter and four-letter acronyms). Is there a section on this site or in the user manual that provides an explanation? What is ccNC, for instance? Is it there in my 3-week-old GTline S? What is its function?
  16. I possess analogous advise for those who are irate about little expenditures and difficulties with contractors. It is arduous, costly, and burdensome in terms of work to pursue matters in Magistrates Court, and it should be avoided wherever feasible. Engaging in extensive efforts to advocate for your position often results in significant expenditure of both energy and financial resources, particularly when faced with the overwhelming influence of administrators and legal counsel. The common adage is that "every narrative has two perspectives."
  17. I am not an attorney. Were I in that position, I would impose a fee in the three-figure range for this comments. An accusation of fraud does not constitute "fraud." Your assertion is noted. Fraud is only established when the police examine the evidence of an accusation, validate it, collaborate with the Crown Prosecution Service to forward the case to the Magistrates Court, and thereafter present it in court (likely in 2026), contingent upon the Magistrates' agreement that it constitutes fraud. The purchase occurs at the signing of the contract and the completion of payment, rather than at the time of delivery. Ownership of the thing is established upon entering into a contract for its acquisition, rather than at the point of receipt. Based on your statements, I am certain that the police would neither refer the matter to the Crown Prosecution Service, nor would the CPS escalate it to the Magistrates' Court. If they proceeded, it would be 2026 before the case reached the Magistrates Court, after considerable expenditure of time and resources on the requisite documentation. I regret that this is not the information you want to receive, but it reflects the expenses and characteristics of the judicial proceedings.
  18. Ah, understood; it is not the rubber spring seat.
