The choice is contingent upon your money, since a superior OBD scanner is necessary for the task. Brands such as Foxwell are reasonably priced.

Connect it to diagnostics and do the bleeding process. Additionally, new discs and pads will result in a spongy pedal feel until they properly settle in.

Did you pay for a wheel alignment inspection and adjustment apart from the wheel bearing service, or did the shop that performed the wheel bearing service also modify the toe to finalise the bearing operation, rendering any rear alignment results irrelevant?

What is the meaning of "no stalls for no reason"? It may be referred to be a head unit; but, if it is, it is improbable to induce the "no stalls for no reason." 🙂

I will interpret your reaction as a negative. I wish you happiness in all your endeavours.

I would be pleased to examine your original PCB, since it seems you have already deemed it unserviceable.
-
Please provide images of your original PCB that has sustained significant damage from battery acid.

The engine was overhauled several months ago; I doubt the mechanics would overlook cleaning the sump and the pick-up. However, it may simply be an issue with the oil pressure sensor. Currently, I am not overly concerned, as the engine does not exhibit significant noise and the oil pressure increases appropriately with the RPM. I will conduct further investigation for leaks and other potential causes. The indicator illuminated only after the oil change was performed.
-
Regrettably, I lack the equipment and resources to verify such matters independently; thus, I must entrust it to a garage for inspection. I hope that is the problem, since my inspection of the oil control valve revealed no metal shavings or contaminants; it was, in fact, fairly clean.
-
The replacement of the oil control valve did not resolve the problem. What are the subsequent steps?
-
Thank you. I will likely provide an update after completing the task tomorrow and will share some photographs after the work is finished. I have seen many videos indicating that these pressure control solenoids are rather sensitive, so I anticipate that removal will be straightforward.
-
Thank you for your response. I have already purchased one; I just need the tool to release the tensioner on the alternator, since I lack access to the underneath of the vehicle. Is it safe to drive in the circumstances shown in the image? I do not encounter a rough idle; the driving is smooth, however the engine is rather louder than normal. What is your opinion?

Greetings, I own a BMW 116i with an N43 engine and just performed an oil change around 200 miles ago; nonetheless, the low oil pressure warning light has illuminated on the dashboard. Initially, I suspected that I had incorrectly installed the oil filter; however, replacing it correctly did not resolve the oil pressure light issue. I am enquiring if the readings obtained from my OBD scanner are within the typical range. The timing chain was reportedly replaced 1,500 miles ago, and I am seeking your insights on the values I have seen.

F11 2012 2.0 Diesel Msport daytime running light malfunction
IrvesBMW replied to IrvesBMW's topic in General Discussions
Indeed, there was some dampness. The previous owner removed the headlamp bulb and neglected to reattach the headlight cover. Since I replaced the cover, the headlight is now dry, and there is some rust on the module pins, which I cleaned with isopropyl alcohol before reassembling. Does this module execute the DRL? Both Daytime Running Lights are functioning effectively; nonetheless, the persistent fault indicator on the dashboard remains bothersome. I can just change it but prefer not to purchase one without guidance. Does it need coding for the 2012 520d M Sport? Additionally, any recommendations on purchasing the module with two T20 screws and a black gasket, rather than the red variant with three screws, would be appreciated. -

F11 2012 2.0 Diesel Msport daytime running light malfunction
IrvesBMW replied to IrvesBMW's topic in General Discussions
Are you aware of any solutions for this issue, considering that both components function correctly? Would changing the module be beneficial? -
My F11 displays a daytime running light issue on the dashboard, however all lights function properly. The prior owner said that the problem began when he replaced the headlight bulb. I have removed the headlight module and cleaned the connections, but the error persists. All lights are functioning properly. I prefer not to change a module until necessary; may the headlight bulb replacement be the source of this issue?
-
A forum search would have directed you to purchasing a BMW sensor; however, I previously acquired an aftermarket one that functioned well from a firm on eBay with "Bavarian" in its name, but I cannot recall the specific brand, since Johnny knows which brands he utilises.I modified my vehicle since, after driving in heavy rain, the triple light problem would activate, including the handbrake and ABS indicators. Perhaps your situation is similar, however my issue was with the rear nearside, as I saw erratic behaviour in the speedometer and fuel gauge.

The 640d is a well-constructed vehicle that exudes more luxury than the 5 Series. In my view, you will get more value for your expenditure.
-
I cannot comment on the adaptations; nonetheless, I recommend doing an oil and filter change and then resetting the adaptations as the first steps. It may need around 500 miles for the gearbox to recalibrate after an adaptation reset.

Low pressure in the HPFP upon replacement
IrvesBMW replied to IrvesBMW's topic in General Discussions
The fuel system was contaminated with metal filings, which were subsequently cleaned and removed. Later, an error code connected to the glow plug module appeared, prompting me to replace it with a used part acquired from eBay. The vehicle had an Auto Start/Stop fault code prior to the failure of the HPFP. -
Low pressure in the HPFP upon replacement
IrvesBMW replied to IrvesBMW's topic in General Discussions
The fuel rail was changed last year with a pre-owned rail purchased on eBay. -
Hello, I have replaced the defective high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) on a 2009 BMW E90 N47 320D with 209,000 km. I have changed the HPFP twice owing to persistent hesitation and prolonged cranking during starts. I want guidance and help. Thank you in advance.
