According to certain individuals, following the implementation of the "Dieselgate" update, the 7-gear transmission exhibited a behavior where it failed to engage the highest gear at the designated speed limit on UK motorways (70mph). Instead, it remained in 6th gear and only transitioned to 7th gear at approximately 80mph. This occurrence partially accounts for the observed decrease in fuel efficiency, particularly if this pattern persists across the entire range of engine revolutions. It is plausible that the vehicle's gear shifting strategy involves higher engine revolutions in order to maintain optimal operating temperature. Several members also expressed dissatisfaction over the failure of NOx sensors subsequent to the update. It was observed that certain dealers provided complimentary replacements for the faulty sensors, while others did not. It is worth noting that the replacement of these sensors may be rather expensive, and availability may also pose a challenge.

Performing these tasks is quite easy and can be done independently. I personally complete them using axle stands, and if necessary, I can remove and reinstall the engine, replace the chains, and complete the whole process within a day. However, I like to allocate two days for the procedure to ensure that the RTV on the sump and timing case has sufficient time to cure before being exposed to oil.

It has been observed that all N47 engines, even those equipped with upgraded components, are prone to encountering difficulties over time. The latter iterations of engines have a greater longevity in comparison to their older counterparts. According to BMW, the timing chain is considered a lifetime component. However, it is important to note that the manufacturer's definition of "lifetime" often corresponds to a mileage of 100,000. It is generally recommended by experts to replace the timing chain kit at this mileage threshold. From my perspective, I would not exceed a mileage of 100,000 on a n47 chain. Over the course of time, I have seen significant transformations in several aspects, particularly in instances when they have been subjected to extensive strain and to the verge of collapse, or when they have ultimately collapsed. On average, the mileage of vehicles often falls between the range of 80,000 to 140,000. However, it is worth noting that there have been instances when mileage has fallen below 80,000. It is important to consider that these cases mostly occurred in older models of vehicles and were often associated with incomplete or unreliable service histories.

Repair for the 2010-2011 E350 W212 OM642!

The occurrence of black smoke emissions from an OM642 E350 CDI equipped with a properly functioning Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is not considered within the realm of normalcy. -
The fact that the Euro M Sport F30 has a relatively low standard height is not always negative. I would like not to have lowering springs installed on my vehicle in the area where I reside. I have seen a majority of your video content. The provided information is quite useful. The Ohlins R&T deep dive videos proved to be rather intriguing, particularly in light of my own experience with them on a Golf GTI six years ago. It is hoped that Ohlins has taken measures to rectify the concerns pertaining to the quality of the piston sleeve subsequent to the aforementioned period. The quality of my possessions was lacking, but their handling capabilities were exceptional. Furthermore, considering you were previously engaged in the discussion thread, I would want to continue our discourse.

The process of eliminating suction imprints from glass surfaces
DSM10000 replied to Geek2232's topic in General Discussions
I would be inclined to use a plastic scouring pad for cleaning glass surfaces, but wire wool would not be recommended for this purpose. One must possess a refined mastery of the method in order to prevent any potential harm to the glass surface. -
Sound insulation sheets may be purchased from online marketplaces such as Amazon or Ebay. It is possible to insulate the whole bonnet for an estimated cost of £30. By taking the necessary time and care, one can achieve a visually seamless integration of the insulation sheets, resulting in a professional appearance rather than a haphazard arrangement that may indicate an amateur installation.

How did you ascertain your knowledge about the item you were purchasing? Examine the V5 paperwork pertaining to the automobiles. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) will begin with an alphabetical character, followed by the three numerical digits representing the model designation.

Assistance Requested for Fault Code P0237
DSM10000 replied to keithmerc220's topic in General Discussions
Have you conducted an initial diagnostic check on the automobile to identify any fault codes? If this is the case and you are seeing the error code P0237. Please see the following video. The map will be situated in a similar location, with a dense air trunking system connecting the airbox to the turbocharger. -

In the absence of readily apparent air leaks. Indeed, it is correct. The map sensor is capable of detecting both high and low levels of boost pressure. The approximate cost is around £25. Prior to proceeding with any more troubleshooting steps, it is advisable to inspect the wiring and pins of the previous device for any potential accumulation of dirt or damage. -

In order to integrate the new clocks into the vehicle, it is necessary to possess the Software Development Kit (SDK) code. This code is often found in a little plastic tag accompanying one of the car keys. If the SDK code is not available, it will be necessary to seek assistance from Audi for the integration process.

I purchased a pre-owned vehicle from the year 2016, which exhibited a rip or crack in a consistent position and on the same side. The vendor has promised to rectify the issue. The invoice for the body shop services amounted to a total of $2,000 USD. Was there any comment made about the revision or enhancement of the bumper cover to prevent a recurrence of the issue?

Has anybody used the services of Darkside Developments?
DSM10000 replied to spiezen's topic in General Discussions
The individuals in question possess a prominent presence on the YouTube platform and, to be equitable, demonstrate a commendable level of expertise in their discourse. In addition, the company offers a diverse selection of BMW components and has undertaken advanced tuning procedures on BMW diesel vehicles, using their exclusive tuning techniques. Thank you. -
The first step was examining the auto choke mechanism, which revealed that the coil functioned correctly when subjected to heat. However, I am now contemplating if this observation implies that the auto choke is really operational, considering its reliance on a power source in addition to hot water from the thermostat. It is hypothesized that the power source is used for the purpose of heating the automated choke. If the structure of the choke in question has resemblance to the substantial SUs found in my previous XJ6, it is likely to include a coiled bi-metallic strip. In warmer temperatures, the system disengages and deactivates the choke, whereas in colder temperatures, the choke remains engaged. The power supply potentially originates from a regulated source that operates on a predetermined timing mechanism. This timing mechanism facilitates a progressive increase in temperature inside the strip, therefore leading to a controlled deactivation of the choke. In the event that the engine is at a low temperature and the ignition, perhaps the starting circuit, is activated, it is expected that a voltage of 12V will be present at the terminal in order to facilitate the heating of the bi-metallic strip.
