  1. I would not operate it with a low oil pressure problem. What tools are required? I believe a 16mm spanner is necessary to relieve tension, along with a 4 or 5mm drill bit to secure it in a de-tensioned state.
  2. The idle level is low. I would want around 1.7 bar; since it is an N43, I would replace the oil control valve and reassess.
  3. The bulb in the Daytime Running Light may be faulty. Some are not compatible with can-bus and will display an error.
  4. It seems to be the propeller centre bearing, which is an inexpensive component that can be easily replaced; however, the exhaust must be lowered, among other tasks.
  5. Corrosion of the alloy on the top margins of the doors is prevalent.
  6. Is it a favourable outcome or not? Appears exquisite. The hue complements the black wheels well. Are the overall operational expenses and upkeep comparable to those of the 530?
  7. That is nice to peruse. I would prefer the GC because of my little, growing children utilising it. I like the value offered by any of these options; one receives substantial automotive performance for the investment. Thank you!
  8. Greetings, everyone. I want opinions about my forthcoming BMW acquisition. Regrettably, my 530d was just declared a total loss (not due to my negligence!). I would like a 535d, while I also have a strong inclination towards the 640d. The period in question is from 2014 to 2016. Are they equally proficient? All feedback is appreciated. Thank you
  9. Please try one again using correct English.
  10. I was contemplating this; however, what do you consider the current market pricing for an oil and filter change? Last month, I received a quotation of around £560. Does it seem accurate?
  11. Furthermore, I have heard that adaptations should only be altered if components inside the gearbox have been changed, such as clutches and similar parts.
  12. I possess a receipt indicating that the oil and filter were replaced around 30,000 miles ago. The vehicle presently has around 157,000 miles.
  13. Greetings to everyone, I am encountering gearbox problems, particularly in cold conditions. I acknowledge that I should not have, but I inadvertently reset my adaption settings due to encountering abrupt changes and related issues. Occasionally, the vehicle inadvertently downshifts, resulting in a money shift, which is rather concerning. From a cold start, it seems to slide until the converter engages (about 20 mph to 25 mph), after which it seems to function well. The following is a picture of the present adaption values recorded. Can anybody provide insight into the potential problems with the gearbox? No codes are kept on the TCU either.
  14. Numerous individuals here readily endorse them, despite my own negative experience. It is hoped that they would observe this and respond to you.
  15. Indeed, the 4/5 change is functioning as intended, and the gearbox is operating well. The E\S switch is also functional. Currently, there is an occasional issue where a switch fails to activate the reverse lights when I shift into reverse. I first thought it was the neutral safety switch; however, it seems to be something else. I will contact my technician to ascertain the component more precisely. He seemed uncertain as well.
  16. The garage did not respond to my inquiry yesterday on the selection module switch, and I am uncertain about the specific item in question. My mechanical skills have deteriorated compared to their previous state. Experts on vintage automobiles are becoming scarce. The former proprietor of the establishment could detect these issues instantaneously. However, when seeing my wife reverse the vehicle in Lidl's parking lot, I saw that both the reversing lights and the back wiper were functioning. I now possess the most lamentable of flaws - an intermittent one. Should I persist with my ongoing enquiries? Affirmative! Certainly. What grounds do you have for doubting me? The MOT is scheduled for March, allowing me plenty time. I will provide an update when I obtain further information.
  17. I had always aspired to drive a 928. I have just retrieved the vehicle from the repair shop, where it was indicated that the selection module switch, located inside the shifter mechanism behind the polished hardwood centre console, is likely the issue. I possess no knowledge on this subject. Has anybody encountered this component before? I am contemplating if the use of contact cleaner into the shifter gate might effectively cleanse the switch. They will investigate the matter and respond to me. I will keep you informed.
  18. Thank you, everyone. Indeed, I observed many on eBay; nonetheless, I am apprehensive about installing a component that is already deteriorated. Will the Porsche component be identical to the Mercedes-Benz part? It seems that some components are shared.
  19. Greetings to everyone 1996, 124 E280 estate, 5-speed gearbox, 333,000 kilometres. Recently, I saw that the rear windscreen wiper did not activate when reversing, despite the front wiper functioning. Inspected the reverse lights and saw that they were nonfunctional as well. The neutral safety switch, located on the left side of the gearbox where the shifter connects to the transmission, has been diagnosed. The neutral safety switch, identified by component number A 00 054 549 06 from Nemigaparts.com, is no longer manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. The vehicle is scheduled for diagnostics at the shop tomorrow, however their accuracy is not guaranteed. Is this component probable modifiable in situ, or is it a part that often fails and requires replacement? Are there any other potential causes for these symptoms? An online video disassembly of the component reveals that it has a rather basic switch. Any guidance would be welcomed. Thank you.
  20. If the engine is cranking but failing to start, it is quite likely that one or more fault codes have been generated.
  21. As already said. If you suspect that the immobiliser is the source of the issue, doing a code scan using a BMW kit will reveal it as a fault code.
  22. Perform a fault code scan as the first step. It seems that there may be a lack of gasoline, however examining the diagnostic codes should provide further information.
  23. He employs a method to refine and establish the rings, operating at a speed of 2500 revolutions per minute, and applying oil intermittently. Upon examining the MOT emission results subsequent to Mike's engine refreshment, it is evident that they are equivalent to those of a brand new engine. Regarding the cylinder head, it is advisable to have it undergo a pressure test when it is hot, since this is the optimal condition for detecting any potential fractures.
