  1. Greetings, everyone. Has anybody discovered a resolution to this problem? I own a 2018 X3 equipped with the TV feature. Previously, it functioned flawlessly. However, I am now experiencing an issue where, when scanning, it detects a total of 84 digital channels. However, at completion of the scan, just Challenge TV is shown, with no other channels appearing. I have attempted in other areas, with same outcomes. I suspect that there is a software glitch, which is preventing me from updating it. Interestingly, my attempts to update the software using the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) provided by BMW have also been unsuccessful. If I am unable to locate the explanation, I will consult BMW when my service is due in October. Regrettably, they are not in close proximity to my location.
  2. Mercedes-Benz does not manufacture various kinds of fluids and/or components such as oil, automatic gearbox fluid (ATF), braking fluid, zero-hydraulic mineral (ZHM) fluid, and others. Any product that fulfils or surpasses the above specifications is acceptable.
  3. Greetings, everyone. I have been in possession of my CX-30 for a duration of around 7 months, and I am really enjoying the experience. One concern that has arisen in recent months is to a creaking or rattling sound emanating from the upper black panel located on the front doors in close proximity to the glass. Has this problem been encountered by any other individuals? I presented my vehicle to the car dealer, who said that the issue in question is a "characteristic inherent to the automobile." However, I hold the belief that this assertion lacks credibility. Over the course of time, the manifestation of uneven road conditions has been more apparent.
  4. The 5L presentation of Bilt Hamber APC offers excellent cost-effectiveness.
  5. It is highly recommended that the vehicle be sent to an authorised Mercedes-Benz dealership or a reputable independent Mercedes-Benz expert for further assessment and potential repairs. I inquired about your location with the expectation that someone within this community have knowledge of a reputable establishment in close proximity to your current whereabouts. The term "Ireland" lacks specificity in its reference.
  6. I have had a similar issue with my Range Rover, whereby the installation of a new battery did not resolve the malfunctioning stop-start feature. The dealer suggested that the individual should increase their use of the vehicle. The vehicle was brought to an Auto Electrician who retained possession of it for a duration of two days. During this time, the Auto Electrician made attempts to address the issue by using various strategies and allowing the vehicle to enter a dormant state before repeating the process. Discovered the presence of a parasitic drain. After the issue was resolved, no more complications were encountered. Furthermore, as previously said, it is advisable to get a Ctek charger, since this is a practice I have used for all of my vehicles.
  7. Could you kindly request Braybooks to arrange it?
  8. I have selected a 15mm bore diameter, would this size be considered sufficient?
  9. Thank you for the responses. The intention is to repair the turbo intake seal and boost pipe seals, as well as install a catch can, either temporarily or permanently, in order to visually monitor the amount of oil and condensate that enters the engine. I am contemplating the replacement of the seals subsequent to the resonator, but, I am uncertain of the magnitude of the task. I will thoroughly examine the boost mechanism.
  10. Good evening, everyone. After replacing the positive crankcase ventilation valve (PCV), oil residue is present at the turbo intake, and the vehicle exhibits little smoke emission during periods of increased boost.According to the information provided to me by the driver of the automobile behind me, My proposed solution involves the installation of an oil catch can in order to mitigate this issue. Is this the optimal course of action? Has anybody else installed a similar component? Could you kindly provide a recommendation for a provider, please? I express my gratitude for your assistance.
  11. I am contemplating the acquisition of a dashboard camera for my f36 vehicle. Can anybody provide any suggestions or recommendations? Preferably, I am seeking a system that has a distinct back camera component which can be integrated into the system by hardwiring.
  12. The notion that automated car washes are without flaws is unsubstantiated. Throughout my personal experience, I have own many luxury vehicles like BMWs, Porsches, Jaguars, and several other esteemed automobile brands. It is noteworthy to mention that none of these vehicles have exhibited any adverse effects on my wheels, mirrors, or any other components, resulting in their damage or destruction. I am in a region characterized by regular snowfall, and in close proximity to my location, there exists a monthly subscription option for an automatic car wash service, which offers unlimited use at a cost of $30. It is feasible for me to cleanse my vehicle of salt and road filth on a daily basis on my commute back from work. There is no need for me to engage in any activity other than momentarily pausing for a duration of 5 minutes to consume tea, while the automobile through a process of being cleansed with a spray, which I find to be quite satisfactory.
  13. I would like to inform you that, after a suggestion from an individual on this site, I undertook the task of replacing the chains on my F31 N47 over the course of a weekend. I am pleased to report that I am quite satisfied with the outcome and would confidently endorse the individual for doing similar work. The vehicle operates in an exceptional manner, providing me with a sense of tranquility and assurance.
  14. Please do an investigation to identify the presence of a boost leak. Intercooler hose often experiences fragmentation. The mechanism used in this system utilizes a chain rather than a belt. Formally, there is no designated time period for modification. However, if your engine predates 2010, it is possible to visually inspect the tensioner via the oil filler hole and determine whether the chain has seen elongation. For more evidence, I have shared images on a forum. The accuracy of timing may vary to a certain extent, however, it remains uncertain if this discrepancy would be the underlying cause of the observed smoking problem.
  15. you have been referred to as a "freak" in a previous discussion, as per your own statement. The sound level of 142 dB. The sound pressure level (SPL) has a doubling effect for every increase of 3 dB. It has been shown that auditory impairment might potentially manifest at sound intensities reaching 120 decibels. In the future, individuals may have auditory impairments as a consequence of prolonged exposure to such conditions.
  16. The primary focus of this essay is sound pressure. In the field of acoustics, the decibel (dB) is often used as a unit of measurement to quantify sound levels in relation to a reference point of 0 dB. This reference point is specified as a sound pressure level of .0002 microbar, equivalent to 20 micropascals.The user's text does not contain any information to rewrite in an academic manner. The reference level is established at the standard threshold of perception for an ordinary person, and many common comparisons are used to exemplify different magnitudes of sound pressure. The field quantity of sound pressure is determined by using the field version of the formula for calculating sound pressure level. In this formula, the variable "pref" represents the standard reference sound pressure level, which is equivalent to 20 micropascals. The auditory system of humans has a considerable capacity for perceiving a wide variety of audio stimuli. The ratio between the sound intensity that results in irreversible harm after brief exposure and the minimum audible sound intensity is equal to or exceeds one trillion.The user has provided a numerical reference. Logarithmic units are often used to describe extensive measurement ranges. For instance, the logarithm to the base 10 of one trillion (1012) is 12, which corresponds to an audio level of 120 dB. Due to the uneven sensitivity of the human ear over different sound frequencies, some tests that use frequency weighting assign more significance to noise levels within the range of maximal human sensitivity, often between 2 and 4 kHz. Additionally, it is worth noting the existence of Stevens' power law. Given the limited range of human auditory perception, what is the rationale for pushing the boundaries and thereby endangering oneself to potential harm? By the way, it is a well-established fact that the ability to perceive high frequency sounds diminishes with age. After the age of 40, the majority of individuals experience a decline in their auditory ability to perceive the sonar navigation signals emitted by bats.
  17. The auditory ossicles transmit vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear in response to sound waves that propagate through the ear canal. There are two muscles, which are not shown in the illustration, that connect to two of the ossicles. The contraction or relaxation of these muscles is contingent upon the degree of sound pressure. The aforementioned process serves to safeguard both the tympanic membrane and the cochlear membrane. The amplitude of vibration is reduced, while the force is amplified by the ossicles in a manner similar to how a crowbar enhances force by mechanical advantage. The footplate is positioned inside a fenestra of the petrous bone and exerts pressure on the fluid contained within the cochlea. Consequently, the vibration is transmitted to the hydraulic component of the auditory system.
  18. The impact on the windshield may be seen. The potential effects on the tympanic membrane and inner ear can only be speculated about. The installation of an exceptionally powerful sound system results in the deformation of the windshield glass.
  19. Greetings, everyone. The reverse gear functionality in my 2000 2.7t Tip has been compromised. When operating on a flat and level surface, the vehicle exhibits a tendency to go in reverse while gradually increasing its velocity, resembling the behavior of a manual transmission with a malfunctioning clutch. However, the forward gears and Tiptronic function normally. No errors are shown on the VAG-COM diagnostic system. Do you have any suggestions or ideas to contribute? We express our gratitude for your input.
  20. The old solenoid was discarded and replaced with the integrated solenoid inside the high-torque unit. The reduction in the number of wires and components decreases the likelihood of potential failures.
  21. A piece of advice from a fellow E-Type owner:This issue of Universal Tires: https://www.universaltire.com/185hr15-universal-sport-blackwall.html
  22. Oh, wow, what a bummer. If you haven't already, check out a "tire calculator" on the internet to see how big of a drop you'll have with the 185/70 on your E-Type.
  23. Okay, we'll throw in some steel/disc wheels to give you some variety. Some vehicles with bigger tires tilt the rubber bumper forward, allowing for somewhat additional space behind the axle. The original'skinny' tires had a classic appearance and handled well, so I prefer them.
