CIC remains constant, irrespective of the vehicle it is installed in. It is likely that you may encounter an outdated IDE connection due to the age of CIC.

This automobile produces an impressive sound with the appropriate exhaust system. The product is excessively flawed from the manufacturer.

I am curious about whose cold start is louder, yours or mine. We could organise a competition to see who can produce the loudest R8 cold start.

Mercedes CL vs Bentley Continental GT
ianwh4 replied to Howard_silver's topic in General Discussions
Although I enjoyed the short test drive of the Continental, the association with VW heritage does concern me....I am considering purchasing a C217 S500 coupe, since costs have significantly decreased recently, however they are not easy to find. -
Mercedes CL vs Bentley Continental GT
ianwh4 replied to Howard_silver's topic in General Discussions
Fascinating and relevant inquiry. I formerly had a C216 CL500 (4.7TT) till three years ago. I now own a W222 S class but just test drove a Continental GT V8. After seeing a significant decrease in pricing, I am now intrigued. The Continental I test drove was a decade old, had 48,000 miles, and was priced in the mid $30,000s. The performance and throttle response were notably improved compared to the CL, which had a tendency to be sluggish. Despite using 21-inch wheels, the ride quality and refinement were superb. The V8 engine transitioned smoothly from being luxurious and smooth to exhilarating when pushed, without any creaks or noises. I enjoyed it much, but you will need to experience it yourself. -
A 2008 1.6 Clubman Cooper located in Bristol, UK.

Indeed, I have been perusing the articles. Fortunately, I do not have an immediate need for the vehicle until the spring, and I am lucky enough to own a garage where I can do maintenance on it. Currently, I have spent around £700 on parts. However, I still need the crossover pipe, camshaft components, and lambda sensors. Well done! I sometimes get pleasure from fiddling! I am now attempting to secure the engine in place, but, the camshafts have not yet been immobilised. I will attempt another rotation of the crankshaft, but after dedicating a whole day to the task of removing the intake manifold, I had a fit of sulking and indulged in a drink. -

Greetings, I did not get the readout, but the lambda value was above the acceptable range, the carbon monoxide level exceeded the permissible limits, and the vehicle emitted blue smoke when accelerating. It was imprudent of me to hastily make a purchase on eBay, particularly for a used vehicle intended for trading purposes. This decision was solely my own and I acknowledge my error. I am now located in Horfield, by the way. -
Greetings everyone, I am about to share my narrative. In early December, I purchased a pepper white clubman because to its recent chain and some history, despite having a very short MOT of just 1 day. Upon bringing it home, everything seemed satisfactory. After taking it for a test drive, I noticed a little emission of smoke as I removed it from the driveway. I am here because the vehicle failed to meet emissions standards. I have started the process of dismantling, and I will be doing the following tasks: Seals for the valve stems Piston rings A catalytic converter is a device used in vehicles to reduce the emissions of harmful pollutants by catalysing chemical reactions. Hydraulic pump And a few additional miscellaneous items I am extensively studying the Prince engine, however I am starting to regret doing so.

Do not spend your time contemplating anything else other than mps4s.

Can you discern the difference between a meticulously polished and waxed vehicle and one that has been treated with a ceramic coating just by visual inspection?I really doubt that you possess the ability to do so. I am unable to do so. Our body shop requires evaluating the caravans prior to repairs in order to determine their condition. According to a brief online search, it seems that informing the insurance company about modifications to your vehicle is not necessary, since they do not consider it as a modification. However, if you choose not to inform them, they may refuse to cover the costs of reapplication after a claim. However, this exception would not be relevant if you were making a claim against a third party. Undoubtedly, the question arises: is pricey wax considered a modification, such as tyre shine or Rain X? L:OL.

Ultimately, it is only an exhibition, and the most unfavourable aspect is its non-functionality. I am concerned with the description they provide on their website. The Carplay Android 11.0 12.3 inch is a high-definition touchscreen GPS navigation system with Bluetooth designed specifically for BMW 6 Series F06 F12 models from 2011 to 2016. Is it tactile?

The OEM display size is 10.25 inches. Am I allowed to substitute with a size of 12 inches or larger? Can you suggest any well-established and dependable Android touchscreens with integrated CarPlay functionality that can be used as a replacement for the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) display? I still want to use the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) microphone, back camera, idrive, and steering wheel knobs.

One may easily browse any of the online part database websites to get the part number for the cover using a coarse filter. The HEATER/AC schematics will provide the information. The website <www.realoem.com> is a valuable resource. The website address is www.bimmercat.com. The website address is www.bmwfans.info.

There is an excellent video on YouTube demonstrating the process of accessing and replacing this coarse filter. The video is intended for a f01 7 series, however, our F06/f12/f13 HVAC blower is configured in a similar manner. I will attempt to locate the video and provide it in this location. EDIT: I located the movie, created by a former acquaintance from the e38 Bimmerboard forum era, namely Edwin from the Netherlands. In addition, he captured the audio emitted by the blower at the start of the video, which might potentially aid in identifying if it corresponds to the sound the original poster (OP) is experiencing. Subsequently, he proceeds to demonstrate the process of accessing and removing the cover.

The potential issue might be the coarse filter that safeguards the blower motor located in the engine compartment. The filter may become fragile and fracture, causing the fragments to generate an unusual buzzing sound when they are torn, thrown, and shattered towards the upper section of the blower mower. It is advisable to verify if the coarse filter is deteriorating and whether it is the underlying cause of your problem.

I am unable to assist with the suspension matter, but I encourage everyone to rally and support the team. Come on you Gunners! 😎

Vehicles of this kind possess a considerable degree of license-endangering potential on British roadways, even in their factory configuration. Consequently, one may question the rationale of desiring to modify their engine control unit.

Warranty problem with a rusty subframe on a W203 coupé
ianwh4 replied to CheresX's topic in General Discussions
It has been a duration of ten months, during which the original poster (OP) has not made any further contributions to this particular topic. The automobile has been successfully purchased by another party. The vehicle has undergone repairs either free of charge or at a significantly inflated cost. The subframe experienced structural failure while travelling at a velocity of 80 miles per hour on a heavily trafficked motorway, resulting in the unfortunate demise of the original poster. Regardless of the circumstances, it seems that the answer will remain elusive.
