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.

Determining the Optimal Dash Cam Selection
Screwdriver_1 replied to IrvesBMW's topic in General Discussions
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. -
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.

Timing chain, 4th generation, n-47t
Screwdriver_1 replied to KissezFun's topic in General Discussions
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. -
Repair for the 2010-2011 E350 W212 OM642!
Screwdriver_1 replied to MrGreedy's topic in General Discussions
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. -
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A piece of advice from a fellow E-Type owner:This issue of Universal Tires: https://www.universaltire.com/185hr15-universal-sport-blackwall.html

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.
-
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.
-
I have no idea what you're looking at that costs $380 per, but many people, myself included, agree that the Vredestein Sprint Classics at 185/15 cannot be beaten. Tires like that can be found just about everywhere, and in my opinion, the best brand is Coker. Spend $173 to reach the top. https://www.summitracing.com/search...dMatch&SortOrder=Ascending&keyword=vredestein I got mine from Euro-Tire (their website is https://www.eurotire.com/); they can get you an updated pricing quote through email. It is possible to use bigger tires on certain vehicles, but this requires thorough research because of potential rear clearance difficulties.

The locals really know very little about your vehicle. With thanks, snapchat -
The sensor I replaced was the stock one that came with the new brakes in 2012; do you think upgrading to a different sensor will help?
-
Tell me about the sensor brand you installed. What year is the automobile, too?

Find out what's wrong by having it scanned using diagnostic equipment.

To Everyone, I have recently purchased a 2014 SL400 (W231) model vehicle, and I would want to get it modified. I haven't had my vehicle tuned in a long time, so I'm simply curious to see what kinds of alternatives are out there at this point in history. I have seen that several different firms, such Superchips, TDI tuning, Rhino remaps, and others, all claim that they can provide my vehicle with strong stage 1 improvements; however, I am unsure which of these companies is superior to the others. The majority of them seem to provide a box that can flash the ECU, which is an acceptable strategy. On my motorcycles, I have them each individually dyno tuned by an experienced tuning mechanic, but it does not seem that this is a possibility here, or if it is, I have not yet located anybody who can do this service for me. If it's at all feasible, I'd much rather have a bespoke map than a "canned" map, but if it isn't, then a canned map will suffice. In any case, do you have any recommendations for reputable businesses? And in the same vein, are there any to avoid? By the way, I am now located in Surrey.... Thank you so much in advance, Al

The end that went into the radio remained the same; however, since CD players changed between 1993/1994 and 1995 (and all DIs, for that matter), the plugs at the CD changer were different. The end that went into the radio remained the same. In addition, if it's any indication, the first radio that came with the '93/'94 RRC had a different part number, which was RTC7713.

In point of fact, the United States only received one radio, model number AMR2772, for both the DI and the 1995 RRC. It was the most luxury product that Land Rover had to offer and was compatible with the CD changer.
