  1. I am attempting to update the software of my KIA EV6 air vehicle. Upon accessing the owner's site, I input the VIN, which I have verified multiple times as accurate, however I receive the message, "Please enter a valid VIN." Exasperating. I believe I require a conversation with someone—could you provide a phone number?
  2. To upgrade my auto software, I must provide my vehicle's VIN on the owner's detail page. I continually receive a "Enter valid VIN" notice, despite the fact that the number I provide is unequivocally accurate. Is there a contact number available for speaking with someone?
  3. I am attempting to update my infotainment system, encountering significant challenges.
  4. Did you disassemble any section of the mirror for improved access, or did you merely apply spray from the exterior?
  5. I attempted that multiple times using WD40, but to no avail. Do you have a specific product in mind that may be more effective? Did you initially disassemble the mirror unit for improved access?
  6. The driver's side mirror on my 2009 E350 coupe has consistently emitted a groaning noise during the folding process since I acquired the vehicle, but recently it has been experiencing difficulty in unfolding. This typically necessitates folding the mirrors using the button, opening the driver's window, and then using the button to unfold the mirrors while gently pushing the driver's mirror outward. I have previously utilised WD40; nevertheless, I believe it is necessary to completely remove and strip the mirror or replace it altogether. Has anyone encountered this issue previously, and what is the difficulty level of removing and stripping the mirror? Do you have any alternative recommendations?
  7. Particularly considering that the Credit Hire firm was not a participant in the court action, no obligations could be placed upon them. 😄
  8. Regrettably, this verdict is inconsequential; the Credit Hire sector will disregard it, since it does not impact them financially, and operations will remain unchanged. Their assertion that it contributes "less than £5 to the cost of the average premium" is misleading; with 40 million vehicles on our roads, even accounting for multi-car policies, this equates to approximately £150 million annually. This represents a substantial sum extracted from the motoring public by the Accident Management and Credit Hire industry, seemingly without delivering any tangible value in return.
  9. There is an abundance of substandard content being shared these days.
  10. I firmly feel that frequent oil changes are essential for engine longevity. I replace mine every ten thousand miles at most, and on my last 640d, I performed the replacement every six months. I now own a 2021 M4 and replace it every five thousand miles. I am fortunate that my friends own a garage, allowing me access to premium oil at wholesale prices and their ramps. salutations
  11. I hope this is effective; I would have assumed that if the issue were with the chain, it would be audible at idle as well.
  12. Here you go MrGreedy thanks for the YouTube tip
  13. It likely begins at 1300 RPM; if I maintain it at that level or 1500 RPM, there is a persistent tapping noise that fluctuates with the RPM. I have not seen any issues during the cold start. I attempted to share a video I recorded, but the site does not let it. 😞
  14. Hello everyone, I have been observing and noting the valuable advise shared here. I own my cherished 2011 E92 330d equipped with a N57 engine. Over the years, I have removed the manifold to clean the flaps, changed the EGR valve, wheel sensors, and many other components; overall, it has functioned impeccably. She has 165,000 miles on the odometer with a complete dealership service history. Following the most recent oil treatment, I observed a tapping noise that occurs when the engine exceeds 1,500 rpm, varying in intensity with the engine revs. After around 10 minutes of driving, it becomes much quieter to the extent that I can hardly hear it. I am unable to identify the source of the issue inside the engine, and the only problem indicated by the diagnostics is a faulty glow plug, which I will address. I think the most probable issues are a faulty lifter, injector, or, hopefully not, a timing belt problem. Do you have any suggestions or insights?
  15. Eliminate the messenger! It is inconceivable that you believe this is not an appropriate source for "Valet services in Surrey," as the original inquiry enquired.
  16. Having determined it is Black Smoke, you may readily research the potential reasons.
  17. Indeed. Does this terminal have the traditional design with a nut at the top and an interior section including prongs? If that is the case, then replace that item. Substitute it with a conventional clamp-type terminal available at the local parts shop. I am certain that the cable is only attached to the original connector with a nut. Consequently, it is simple to substitute. You need a new terminal with a comparable M6 stud and nut attachment. Something like to this...
  18. The issue is that different metals will result in corrosion. Aluminium develops a very resistant oxide coating. Lead-based solder exhibits optimal compatibility with the post and clamp. The shim referenced by John2.0T is an effective solution; it is composed of lead. I use solder due of its constant availability, since I am a circuitsmith.
  19. Determine the availability of the service component within the parts network and make necessary adjustments. In the worst-case scenario, it may be necessary to purchase a cable assembly or construct a replacement using components from a parts shop.
  20. If the catalyst is functioning properly, the pre and post sensors should not exhibit correlated readings. The pre-catalyst sensor should approximately exhibit a sine wave pattern. The post-catalyst sensor should register a low value if the catalyst is functioning well.
  21. It evokes memories of a 1960s submarine film.
  22. Accept it. The purpose is to alert the public of your reversing, since there is no engine noise while operating on battery power and visibility from the vehicle is compromised. In general, while proceeding, it is anticipated that one would observe others and avoid colliding with them. It is a safety feature, hence it is improbable that it can be disabled. What motivates individuals to express dissatisfaction?
  23. Is it a hybrid vehicle? It emits a sound externally when reversing, and the engine is turned off.
  24. The orange exhibits rust. Clean the stud bolt and the strut connection, apply a tiny quantity of lubricant, and assemble them together. Upon closer inspection, the stud has a slit at its apex, which should accommodate a circlip when the strut is affixed. I surmise it has corroded and detached. The strut may need to be removed from the other end, if it seems manageable, in order to position it onto the stud. Request an individual to maintain the boot in a partially open position to reduce the force applied. It seems that a Torx head bolt may be loosened, perhaps allowing for some movement of the stud to facilitate the connection of the strut.
