  1. 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. 😞
  2. 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?
  3. 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.
  4. Having determined it is Black Smoke, you may readily research the potential reasons.
  5. 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...
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. It evokes memories of a 1960s submarine film.
  10. 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?
  11. Is it a hybrid vehicle? It emits a sound externally when reversing, and the engine is turned off.
  12. 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.
  13. I fail to see why a conventional automotive pedal would be incompatible.
  14. I ensure that the oil and filter are changed at every MOT (about every 6,000 miles), and I maintain a spreadsheet to track all other service-related tasks. My vehicle is too outdated to support iDrive records.
  15. Once a vehicle is outside of the authorised dealer network, BMW does not prioritise the order and it becomes inconsequential to them. Is it a duration of 2 years? Ensure that the service is conducted in accordance with the computer's recommendations or by following the correct procedure, without beyond 10,000 miles between oil changes.
  16. Removing it is a straightforward task after the glovebox has been taken out.
  17. Indeed, diagnosing intermittent issues may be rather challenging, particularly when there are no error codes to provide any indication. If I were in your position, I would consider replacing the front fuse box/jbe with a secondhand one, since they are quite inexpensive. The fuse box may be easily installed and does not need any further configuration. However, it is important to ensure that the module component has the same part number as the one from the original automobile.
  18. The AUC (Automatic Recirculated Air Control) feature in BMW vehicles is not responsible for the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) concerns. It is primarily used for automatically recirculating air in the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system. This information is often shown when the vehicle is scanned. It is peculiar to have lights on without any error codes, which suggests a momentary power outage, comparable to when the ignition is turned off. I assume that the issue may be connected to JBE (Junction Box Electronics). To diagnose the problem, I would thoroughly inspect the connections on the JBE for any indications of moisture damage. I need a circuit diagram to accurately follow the path of wires for the power supply.
  19. Having the precise code and description would likely be helpful.
  20. Additionally, the Kia Connect app offers a feature to deactivate the 'Advanced Anti Theft' alert. To access the Advanced Anti Theft settings, go to the Home Screen on the Connect app and click 'More' at the bottom. Then, go to User Settings > User Profile > Vehicle Settings > Vehicle Settings (again) > Convenience. Finally, ensure that the 'Advanced Anti Theft' option is deselected.
  21. Yes, you may test the divert valve by applying a 12-volt power source to check whether it activates or not.
  22. Experiencing difficulties with boost malfunctions Prioritise the task of eliminating any potential leaks. Additionally, it would be beneficial to inspect the vacuum lines using a smoke machine. Please note that the £60 smoke machines need a separate compressor for operation. Alternatively, I personally use a smoke machine that comes with its own built-in compressor. It is important to avoid the wasteful practice of blindly replacing components in an attempt to resolve the issue. Instead, focus on systematically ruling out possible causes.
  23. During a recent flight, I noticed that all the seats on the aircraft were Recaro brand.
  24. I have recently travelled a distance of over 100 km by car. The battery is indicating a voltage of 14.2 while in transit. Occasionally decreasing to 13.8. Did not exceed such thresholds. The warning light only illuminates after the vehicle has been parked for a period of time. Currently, there is no indication or alert about the reading of 14 following the ignition process. Require durability throughout the duration of the weekend, including during transportation on a boat. Intend to use a physical key instead of an automated system.
  25. Thank you, bvlenci . During transportation, the current measurement has reached 14.8 volts. There is no message shown on the dashboard. I will schedule an appointment for a check-up next week.
