  1. Indeed, a similar occurrence happened with my own device, and I surmise (albeit without concrete evidence) that this had an adverse impact on the engine. The dealership has provided me with a quote of £12,000 for a new engine. And uncooperative in offering any assistance!
  2. Greetings, everyone. Has anybody encountered a situation where an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) defect has directly resulted in a complete engine failure? The dealership/BMW UK refuses to contribute to the cost of replacing the engine in my 1 series, claiming that it is unrelated to the malfunctioning EGR. However, they were unable to determine the specific cause of the engine failure without doing a further examination that I would have to pay for. Is this correct?
  3. A potential cause for the engine idling at a set speed of 1500rpm without any reaction to the accelerator might be a malfunctioning accelerator pedal sensor or an erroneous connection to, or issue with, the fuel rail pressure sensor. Perhaps the availability of these items is lacking....? Did you use contact cleaner to cleanse the plug pins and inspect for water infiltration by removing the plug backshells when you modified the DDE?
  4. Indeed, the date code corresponds to the year of the automobile (2021), providing assurance that it is the original battery from the manufacturer.
  5. Affirmative, it is. Please refer to the accompanying photograph. To be frank, I find it quite peculiar. I have discovered an additional x1 available for purchase online that has an identical battery. I am seeking information from those who have an electronic flight bag (EFB) in order to enhance my knowledge before discussing it with BMW. The car I possess is a 2021 BMW X1 M Sport with a 2-liter engine. It was previously used as a demonstration by the BMW dealer, and I am now the first private owner. Is an EFB battery sufficiently potent for the electronics of BMW vehicles? I am receiving battery low notifications.
  6. Greetings I would want to inquire about the battery in my 2021 BMW X1, which is equipped with a Genuine original BMW EFB battery manufactured by Banner. I have noticed that most X1 models are equipped with AGM batteries. Is the BMW X1 or any other model equipped with a factory-installed EFB battery or an AGM battery? Kindly respond to the poll. Thank you.
  7. During the process of renovating the front suspension, I used Febi components for both the inner and outside parts. They are satisfactory considering their cost. I have also used Lemforder, which is likewise excellent. I engage in aggressive cornering manoeuvres.
  8. The blower motor only draws air via the coarse foam filter located on the front side of the heater motor box. This foam filter effectively prevents the passage of any particles visible to the human eye.Any dust particles that manage to get through are effectively blocked by the more refined pollen filters. The dashboard outlet vents are the only potential entry point for foreign objects in the system. The motor itself might be the cause, but it is unexpected for it to squeal at all speeds. However, increasing mileage increases the likelihood of this possibility. If you decide to remove the motor for replacement, I recommend taking photographs using your mobile phone and using correction fluid or a marker pen to clearly label the drive wheels and other relevant components. Wishing you success.
  9. Hello, Removing the blower motor requires great care and precision. To begin, open the bonnet (hood) and locate the two strengthening tubes positioned at the top of the engine bay, extending from under the windscreen plastic scuttle panel to each of the strut tops. Start by removing the plastic trim in the right-hand corner that is adjacent to the windscreen.Subsequently, you will have the capability to detach the right-hand strengthening tube that connects to the strut top. Presented before you is a sizable lid with a flat, box-like structure.The dimensions are about 300mm x 200mm.There is a rough filter foam on the front side, as well as an AUC sensor.Exercise caution while handling the sensor, since its fastener is prone to easy breakage.To access the inside, it is necessary to detach the large lid by unscrewing the four torx screws. It is advisable to clean the coarse filter. Once you remove the large lid, you will be able to locate the fan motor and the recirculating vent flaps. These vent flaps are not secured and just rest in place. Furthermore, at the termination of the vent flaps, there are driving gears that, if detached, must be reinstalled in the correct orientation to ensure the complete opening and closing of the vent. It is advisable to lubricate the bearings of the motor shaft, provided that they are not sealed bearings. This may be done by applying mild oil to the ends of the shaft.Avoid excessive application of oil, as it may result in an unpleasant odour inside the vehicle. Additionally, please note that the end-of-line resistor is located in that area. Inspect the fan blades for any abrasions that might potentially cause it to get entangled. Do not activate the fan without the box cover attached. Another plausible explanation for the noise might be that an object has been accidentally put into an air vent. The low setting of the fan may not have sufficient strength to dislodge it, but the high setting could be more effective. It is advisable to remove the lid of the pollen filters box and take out the pollen filters. Then, increase the fan speed.The pollen filters are changed during maintenance, and if they are not reinstalled properly, they may get disturbed.
  10. There may be a wide range of radio stations available, however the number of TV channels could be limited based on your region. The aftermarket antenna installed in my 320d could not get any television signals outside my home, so I did not pay much attention to it. However, one day while waiting for my wife at a higher place, I decided to experiment with it and it successfully picked up 60 to 70 television channels. Attempt it once again in an other setting.
  11. It is now the time of year ... Not just on this platform, but also across several online forums and Facebook groups, there is a prevalent occurrence of individuals engaging in the practise of mindlessly duplicating and sharing the responses of others.
  12. It is advisable to inspect the condition of the springs for any signs of breakage. Additionally, it is worth noting that wheels are susceptible to cracking. Consequently, it may be necessary to dismount the tyres in order to conduct a thorough examination of the wheels.
  13. Could you please provide visual representations in the form of images?
  14. Indeed, I am referring to the use of ISTA+ software at a nearby BMW dealership.
  15. After a brief period of time, the vehicle starts operation in an optimal manner, exhibiting a seamless performance devoid of any peculiar speculations. However, it experiences a decrease in power output beyond the speed threshold of 40 miles per hour. There is an absence of smoke emissions in the exhaust. Upon using the BimmerLink APK on my smartphone, I saw that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) exhibits a soot level of 87%. However, it indicates that the regeneration process was completed 235 km prior and does not need further regeneration. This occurrence is peculiar. Today, I will be engaging in the task of changing the engine oil in order to observe the potential outcomes that may arise. I express my gratitude for your assistance.
  16. The absence of evidence in INPA+ (or maybe ISTA+) does not necessarily imply the absence of either of the two occurrences.
  17. However, it is important to understand the process by which diesel fuel might get mixed with engine oil. I used the INPA+ software to assess the condition of my injectors, and I can confirm that they are functioning optimally. I express my gratitude for your assistance.
  18. I conducted a verification process using the application Insta+. There is no issue related to the injector. There are no reported issues with the gasoline pump.
  19. I have verified that the coolant level is within acceptable parameters. There is no evidence of oil contamination seen on the coolant bottle and oil cap.
  20. Yes, I have obtained an item that has reached its maximum level. At one point, it had slightly beyond the average level. I did not add anything. One intriguing aspect is to the factors that contribute to the elevation of the level. I express my gratitude for your assistance.
  21. Greetings, I would like to bring to your attention that an unexpected message has shown on the iDrive system of my BMW E70 4.0d xDrive LCI model. The engine oil level is too elevated, resulting in a decrease in the power output of my vehicle. Do any of you have insights on the causes of this occurrence and any solutions to address it? I express my gratitude for your assistance.
  22. I purchased the most expansive radiator available, which spans the whole vertical length, although its effectiveness remains suboptimal. Given that the ambient temperatures exceed 86°F, it is unsurprising that the efficiency is compromised. Regarding the head gaskets, the original ones were measured to have a size of 94mm.
  23. I will proceed to get the measurements from the gaskets that have been removed, and thereafter verify their accuracy. Regarding the charger kit, the specific model I own (VF620) is equipped with a charge cooler. In warm climatic conditions, I have seen that the effectiveness of the system is compromised due to the consistently elevated intake air temperature (IAT) exceeding 60 degrees Celsius. This observation is disheartening. The air cooler is located inside the aluminium intake plenum, which is positioned above the engine. I am curious in the potential temperatures that may be attained in the absence of a charge cooler.
  24. I have been contemplating the installation of thicker head gaskets. The Mahle PowerPak forged Pistons used in the engine have a diameter of 92mm and a compression ratio of 12.2. Additionally, the cylinder heads will undergo a surface refreshing process. The engine is further fitted with the VF620 supercharger, which provides a boost of 7 psi. What recommendations do you propose? In addition, during my browsing endeavours, I came across a product from Cometic that provides a thicker alternative. However, it is worth noting that these options are available in dimensions of either 93 or 94 mm, while the original product is 92 X 0.027 inches. Is it OK to get a 93 or 94mm component in lieu of a 92mm component? I express my gratitude.
