  1. A useful suggestion: ensure that the fill plug can be removed prior to draining any fluid from the gearbox.
  2. From my frequently referenced fault code compilation. The Mercedes-Benz code P0015 signifies "B" Camshaft Position — Timing Excessively Delayed (Bank 1). This suggests that the exhaust camshaft on Bank 1 is not returning to its baseline or "home" position as promptly as anticipated by the engine control unit. Origins. Defective VVT Solenoid / Camshaft Adjuster Magnet: A jammed, degraded, or electrically malfunctioning variable valve timing (VVT) magnet/solenoid is the most common cause.

  4. Lower pulley chain. Take a look at it while the engine is running to verify its true run-ability.
  5. Much obliged; I shall take your advice and, fingers crossed, it will not break the bank. Once again, I am deeply grateful.
  6. Hello everyone, This is my first post since I recently purchased a 2012 320i with 65,000 miles. The engine bay is making me nervous, though. It may be the notorious n20 engine whine, but it seems louder close to the serpentine belt. Excellent maintenance has always been performed at the main dealer for this vehicle. Is it possible to request a refund from the main dealer, considering that the timing chain has been serviced every 5,000 to 6,000 miles by them? Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated. You have my utmost gratitude.
  7. It is common practice to charge for diagnostic time; however, if a fault is found and covered by warranty, you will not be charged. If you're worried about the finances, you might want to consider enduring the fault until it becomes permanent. It can be quite challenging to diagnose intermittent faults because the car may not detect them when the fault codes are read because it thinks the fault is minor and happens intermittently.
  8. Any 5w30 oil labelled with ll-04 will suffice. Alternatively, if you consider yourself an oil connoisseur, opt for Shell or Mobil, haha.
  9. Are there any error codes? or alerts on the dashboard.
  10. There used to be a lot of knowledgeable people on this forum, but the Venga is a great automobile for older adults like my wife and me who have arthritis. Simply said, our advanced age is causing our extinction.
  11. Because a back voltage is a common symptom of a blown fuse or a jammed or gone-of-control relay in Kia electrice, you might want to check those first. It seems like the anti-lock brake system relied on a toothed wheel—which might easily get jammed or rusted—to detect the wheels' speeds.
  12. In my former petrol Sportage, I found that the fuel efficiency was actually superior in normal mode compared to eco mode.
  13. After purchasing a Wahler brand, I effortlessly attached it to my OM642. Best of luck!
  14. I don't think this is an OEM product; can you take it back?
