  1. Please interpret this as a symbolic indication from the deities of automotive maintenance to refrain from subjecting your 2023 RR vehicle to the automated process of a car wash.
  2. I have subjected each of my automobiles, regardless of their age, through a washing process inside a machine designed for this purpose. I have not encountered any problems.
  3. To the aforementioned address, I have sent an email.
  4. No, oil won't work in PD engines since their injectors are designed to operate differently from those in conventional engines. They're working on getting it into retail outlets like auto parts stores and gas stations, but for the time being, the only place to get it is from them directly or a single station in the Ron area. I don't know Ron personally, but we've had a few conversations about stocking this item at the Euro Car Parts store in Trafford Park. You may contact him on my behalf by sending me a Private Message or an email with your information. When I first started driving, I only used BP Ultimate Diesel since I noticed that other brands, such as those sold at Asda, Tesco, etc., caused my car's engine to run roughly and produce more smoke. I briefly switched to Miller's diesel power ecomax a few years ago, but I've since switched back to premium diesel. I decided to give the Diesel rhino a try after reading about it in a few online communities, and I haven't looked back. It's a no-brainer when you consider how much more expensive premium gasoline is compared to Diesel rhino. It's possible that the first couple of tanks may have somewhat more smoke than usual, but that's simply the system settling down. You'll notice results after following the instructions included in the brochure that will arrive with your bottle (typically within 48 hours of ordering).
  5. Use this HYPERLINK to visit their site. The same who manufactures them also rebuilds and cleans diesel injectors. On the T4 boards, he has a considerable following.
  6. An important lesson that may be derived from this situation is the need of seeking a second viewpoint. I am pleased to hear that you have resolved the matter.
  7. ndeed, the Koni Red Special Actives, in conjunction with Eibach Springs, are installed on my vehicle. I just transitioned from using the Eibach E10-20-031-06-22 suspension system to the "05" European Eibach kit, resulting in a reduction of the front suspension height from 0.8 inches to about 1.4 inches. I propose using several configurations based on the information and needs provided to me. Given Lorcan's recommendation of B8's, it may be inferred that he has information pertaining to the vehicle, including its dampers and spring rates. He has a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter, however it should be noted that this may not hold true when his viewpoints are in opposition to mine. The Koni Yellow Sport suspension system demonstrates superior compatibility compared to the SA's when considering its appropriateness for the B8 application. The online platform FaRKle! offers informative pieces that go into the technical specifications of the Special Actives and Sport Yellows. There exists a considerable degree of similarity between the two entities in relation to their performance and level of comfort. If an individual prioritizes the comfort of their everyday driving experience, I am inclined to suggest the Special Actives. If an individual prioritizes aggressive driving and/or weekend tracking, they are more inclined to choose for Sport Yellows. The Sport Yellows have a versatile nature that facilitates a pleasant driving experience during commutes to and from work, while also allowing for the adjustment of settings to accommodate more aggressive driving styles on weekends. It is evident that Sport Yellows do not possess the same level of adjustability as KW V3 coilovers, but they are also not priced at the same level as the V3. The concept of relativity pervades all aspects of existence.
  8. According to a video, the front of the vehicle experiences an elevation due to the presence of the strut bracket, but the back remains unchanged.
  9. It is important to note that the installation of Bilstein B6/B8 suspension components may result in an elevation of the chassis height and an increase in the distance between the tires and fenders. Please refer to the provided video link. The provided link directs to a YouTube video with the identifier "IlppKcxGWz I would recommend the Koni Yellow Sport suspension system, since it has the additional advantage of adjustability for enhanced comfort, unlike the Bilstein suspension system. This applies to conventional struts and shocks. If the vehicle is equipped with Adaptive/EDC technology, it is recommended to use either the Bilstein B4-Damptronic or KW DDC coilovers in order to preserve the technological investment.
  10. The use of Metamark surface cleaner is expected to effectively remove the stains for the user. By doing an online search, one can easily locate a provider based in the United Kingdom. Personal experience indicates that the price of a bottle was around £18.00 during the most recent purchase, although it is worth noting that the product has a long-lasting duration.
  11. Thank you for your response. Regrettably, I am now located in the province of Ontario, Canada. It would be very appreciated if you could provide a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to repair the compressor. However, an alternative to Audi is available from Benz at a price that is $200 lower.
  12. I express my gratitude to you, sir, for your prompt response. Regrettably, I am now situated in the northern region. I will promptly replace the air suspension system that is now experiencing leakage.
  13. I am encountering a similar issue with the air suspension on the right side of my vehicle, whereby it exhibits a tendency to undergo undesired sagging when in a stationary state. Occasionally, I perceive an auditory sensation like a hissing sound emanating from the left side of the subject of interest. I am intrigued by the selective nature of this leakage, as it seems to occur only at the discretion of the source. Nevertheless, throughout the operation of the vehicle, I have seen a recurring issue whereby the front suspensions exhibit a sagging phenomenon. Despite the activation of the air pump system, the suspensions fail to restore themselves to the desired first or second level. This problem persists until the vehicle is brought to a complete stop, at which point I must patiently wait for a minimum of five minutes until the air pump successfully elevates the suspensions back to the desired second level. Occasionally, the pump fails to operate until a significant period of rest is provided. Is it possible that this issue might be attributed to a malfunctioning pump in conjunction with an air suspension malfunction? I am grateful for any assistance that may be provided with the aforementioned issue.
  14. I have just acquired new ABS pulse speed sensors that I will install as necessary. BMW in Germany currently has rear ones available in its inventory. The informational videos pertaining to the E31 have been very beneficial.
  15. It seems that the original poster (OP) may have been seeking information on the BMW 850Ci model. If the user desires, they may use the connections from the subsequent model, namely the 840ci, and proceed to switch them over. The mounting procedure is same for both variants. If one has an 840Ci, it is my belief that they may be easily obtained.
  16. A refund is provided in the event that the product or service fails to function as intended. However, it is advisable to get those components from the subsequent 840Ci model and thereafter exchange the connections.
  17. I have just come upon a pair of items. The eBay listing offers a functional ABS speed sensor pulse generator for many BMW E23 chassis models, including the 733i, 735i, 745i, and 728i. Alternatively, one may attempt to ascertain if there are any variations in the mounting plate and reluctor target ring configuration when compared to subsequent vehicle models. This may be achieved by cross-referencing the part numbers associated with these components. If not, there might potentially be a situation where alternative connections can be replaced in a subsequent version that is more easily accessible. The system consists of a pair of wires, and the specific orientation of polarity is inconsequential. It is inferred that you own a 1995 850Ci. The wheel carriers for the rear axle are identical components used by both the 1994 850 and the subsequent 840Ci models. Consequently, it is imperative that the mounting for the ABS pulse generators remains consistent. The 840Ci has a system of part numbers, which are listed as follows:
  18. ... specifically, if you retain your previous one for the purpose of joining the wires together. Regrettably, these challenges will increasingly be prevalent in aging vehicles.
  19. This incident occurred to me during the last two days. The estimated cost for the replacement of the bumper amounts to $3500. The downtown Austin office of Range Rover has indicated that this report represents their first submission on the matter. I contacted the aforementioned legal agency, and my spouse is using a plastic glue with the intention of remedying the fissures. This is disappointing. There were no instances of collision, and no damage was incurred to my vehicle in any other areas. I generally refrain from doing extended journeys with the vehicle, but I made exceptions on Monday and Tuesday of the current week. Consequently, it is plausible to consider the possibility of a weight-related concern. The region cannot be patched by anybody. Both Range Rover and another body shop hold the belief that the vehicle in question has been involved in a collision. There is an absence of collision damage. The vehicle is securely stored in both a public parking garage and a private garage, ensuring that unauthorized individuals are unable to approach the front of the automobile. The one factor that seems logical to me is the possibility of it being related to weight. Acquiring a replacement bumper seems to lack practicality since it is anticipated that a similar incident would recur.
  20. There were five instances of fenders that were found to be fractured. Is this the most optimal solution? It seems that my actions may have a negative impact on the sales of the Evoque, since I want to actively promote and inform others I encounter about my experiences with the product. The email address provided by the user is lrweb2@jaguarlandrover I am Evalena, a supervisor at Land Rover North America Corporate. I am reaching out to you in response to your request for a higher-level examination of the matter mentioned before. I made an effort to establish contact; but, I encountered your voicemail and therefore decided to pursue communication by email. After conducting a thorough examination, we have reached the conclusion that we are unable to provide you with financial aid for the repair you have requested. The rationale for this decision was predicated on our failure to identify any ascertainable flaw, recall, or ongoing warranty that would provide financial coverage for the expenses associated with this repair. Although we acknowledge that work has been previously conducted at your local shop, it is important to note that there is currently no existing guarantee for that particular repair. We thus announce the closure of the aforementioned matter. For any further inquiries or apprehensions pertaining to the previously conducted repair, it is advisable to contact your nearby store. Please refrain from making any alterations, omissions, or amendments to the "Subject" section of this email, as doing so may impede our ability to effectively address your issue. In a courteous manner, Evalena B. Customer Relationship Centre Telephone: 1-800-637-6837, Extension 1310153 Fax: 888-410-0938 Email: [email protected] Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is a company operating in the automotive industry. In response to the query presented, I would want to provide a revised version of the user's text in a more academic manner. Thank you for dedicating your time to provide a response. If you were to do an online search using the term "fender cracks Range Rover Evoque," you would discover that Jaguar Land Rover has issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) addressing this issue. Additionally, there are many legal websites that have gathered information for potential legal actions, as well as other forums where individuals debate this specific problem. I own a pair of Evoque vehicles and have had the aforementioned repair on four separate occasions, which included the installation of the purportedly enhanced and non-recurring fender. I was provided with a guarantee that a recurrence of this event would be prevented. The occurrence has transpired once again on both of my Evoques. Thus far, I have had a level of satisfaction with previous fixes, but accompanied by significant inconveniences. It is imperative that you do a reassessment of your refusal and proceed with the necessary repairs on this car once again.
  21. I have just seen a similar issue with my 2013 Evoque vehicle. I visited a dealer collision service where I was informed that they had just been aware of a problem, which they have determined to be non-warrantable. What actions may be taken to rectify this issue?
  22. It is quite probable that the Mercedes model was priced lower in comparison to the AMG variant.
  23. If an individual were to be involved in an accident and then have their vehicle repaired by their insurance provider, it is expected that this information would be included in an HPI check.
  24. Impressive effort, my friend. If I may offer a suggestion, it would be advisable to use a "iron decontamination spray" into the vehicle's paint surface subsequent to the application of the snow foam.
