  1. The visual representation provided depicts the appearance of the valley in the absence of the oil cooler. Once the valley reaches its maximum capacity, it starts the process of overflowing, causing the liquid to pour over both the front and rear sections of the engine. The oil cooler has undergone revision, with the installation of a Nissens unit (Original Equipment Manufacturer). However, you assert that it is situated above the oil cooler? The presence of oil at that location is rare. There seem to be several concerns present in this situation. Another potential issue might be a faulty throttle body seal or a cracked throttle body. I have thoroughly examined all of them with my own.
  2. If the whole of your engine oil has been depleted, it indicates the presence of more significant problems. The recommended volume should be equal to or more than 5.9 liters. There are several potential sources for oil leakage. As an example, the occurrence of a leak in my oil cooler was seen, and subsequently, the splitting of my water outlet resulted in a visual appearance like the expulsion of oil from my vehicle. The accelerated displacement of oil in the valley may be attributed to the presence of oil and the introduction of coolant into the system. This assertion does not definitively identify the issue at hand, but rather suggests that it may potentially be a problem that is exacerbated by another factor. It is important to actively engage in the process of thorough investigation and examination.
  3. Please do not be too concerned with the fluctuation of such numerical values. As previously said, it is observed that the system tends to go back to its original state regardless. It is worth noting that, based on my recollection, my settings were initially configured in a similar manner, although this may not be evident in my prior image.
  4. The only issue associated with the G247 fuel sensor is the 0060 software upgrade. This statement is the formal announcement of the release of an update aimed at resolving a specific problem.
  5. Perform the task of replacing the fuel filter. The LP fuel sensor should be replaced, and it is also recommended to inspect the LP lift pump. I have already changed all of these components to address a prior concern. Please inform me if you need any assistance.
  6. Do all hills or just certain hills fall under consideration? Occasionally, my W209 vehicle exhibits this behavior, although it is limited to certain inclines. However, my 9-3 also exhibits this characteristic. Additionally, there were one or two Lexus vehicles in the past. The observed phenomenon may be attributed to a confluence of factors, namely reduced velocity, the use of brakes, and the presence of an incline.
  7. I agree with the assertion that the lack of proficiency on the part of the individuals in question may have resulted in a financial loss of £300 for the original poster.
  8. Please find included the requested information.
  9. I am now present at my workplace, where I serve as a coach driver. If I find the inclination tomorrow morning, I may capture a few photographs.
  10. I would abstain from doing so. The central console may be disassembled into two sections: the cup holder portion and the heater section. My box is located underneath this assembly. Adjacent to the heating unit, there exists a pleasant square configuration of modest dimensions, adequately allowing the insertion of a loom. I had similar challenges and found it necessary to take a temporary break in order to prevent a potential loss of coherence or understanding.
  11. The method used was the utilization of a metallic coat hanger, with the approach being executed from the rear of the heating controls.
  12. My 2014 cla has an ntg 4.5 headunit that I've been trying to figure out how to get behind. It's very hard to find a comfortable working position, and I'm wondering whether removing the glovebox would give me access to the area behind the radio. Everything else about the unit and the screen is stock, and I'm ready to install an apple carplay box, but I need to get behind to shift the loom around so that the radio fits back in its ultimate location. cheers
  13. It is recommended that you see his Craigslist photographs, my friend.
  14. In reference to the aforementioned stock item pertaining to the rear anti-lock braking system (ABS) pulse speed sensors. I have ceased my pursuit of an alternate option as I have successfully located a limited quantity of the desired item in inventory. I approached an astute individual at the BMW dealership in my vicinity, requesting their assistance in compiling a comprehensive list of part numbers associated with all e31 models. Subsequently, I proposed the notion of cross-referencing these part numbers, and to our mutual astonishment, it was revealed that they all corresponded to the Bosch part numbers, which incidentally align with the components suitable for my 840Ci M60. Curiously, these same components are denoted as being compatible with the 840i model. I have just acquired two components from Germany intended for the front, and have subsequently placed an order for the left and right counterparts to be used for the rear. If there is any individual who has an interest, I possess the corresponding Bosch component numbers that may be used for the purpose of placing an order. In Germany, BMW has a total of 10 positions available for those aligned with right-wing ideologies and 25 positions available for individuals aligned with left-wing ideologies. Electronic sensors were installed on the 850CSi, however they are functionally identical to those found on earlier models, although sourced from a different supplier.
  15. Do you continue to have difficulties in locating the rear anti-lock braking system (ABS) pulse speed sensors? I am now encountering a similar issue, but with some progress made towards identifying a resolution. As an engineer, I am collaborating with a colleague who manages two automotive repair facilities, both of whom are equally committed to assisting me in identifying an alternate solution. Our plan entails removing the existing sensor from the axle and examining it firsthand, with the intention of finding a suitable replacement. The findings will be posted after the solution has been identified. I have been in possession of my 1994 M60 840Ci for a period of 21 years, and I now have no plans to engage in the act of selling it.
  16. Are you referring to the reconstruction of the clutch or the whole reconstruction of the transmission?
  17. The decision was made to retain the old starting relay/solenoid during the installation of the high torque starter. A readily producible "10G" jumper wire was necessary for the installation of the new starter. I wish you success in your endeavor with the WASP starter. I appreciate the recent advancements in starting technology, particularly the development of smaller and lighter variants that exhibit enhanced torque output.
  18. It is my belief that the inclusion of the navigation system in cars manufactured after 2017 is contingent upon activation, unless it was acquired at the time of purchase. BMW transitioned from an initial activation charge to a monthly subscription model and now claims to provide its services at no cost. Is Apple CarPlay available in BMW vehicles? Can it be added? The Car Investor is a platform that focuses on providing academic insights and analysis related to the automotive industry. If the USB port has a charging capacity of 2 Amps or more, it may be used for plug-and-play functionality.
  19. I am now addressing a similar problem with the Rover SD1 Vitesse engine in my TVR 350i. I thought you would find this PistonHeads site useful. Wedges - PistonHeads UK - Page 1 - Possible Head Gasket Failure If you have basic technical skills, removing the heads from a P6V8 engine is not a tough process.
  20. Noted. I was hoping to keep from repeating myself too often.
