  1. I will begin searching on YouTube, then. Thank you, friend. 👍
  2. I am grateful for your suggestion. Thank you once again for your valuable input. I will search on eBay and similar platforms to find a replacement. Additionally, I will investigate the process of accessing and replacing the fusebox.
  3. Thank you. Rashman4u, as I lack technical expertise, do you suggest seeking assistance from an auto electrician? I understand that this may seem trivial, but I am reluctant to continue spending money on purchasing and changing components when it may not be the true cause of the problem. The intermittent nature of the issue makes it difficult to accurately identify the underlying defect, so I empathize with your situation. Thank you.
  4. The current code I am receiving for the JBE is A6CF, which corresponds to the AUC sensor. However, I am unsure how this would cause the occasional activation of the DSC/ABS warning lights. The first code associated with an internal malfunction in the ABS pump was 5DF5, if I recall correctly. I just installed a recon pump, but I am still seeing the same intermittent lights on the dashboard. The error message now indicates a problem with the JBE electronics and the specific code is A6CF. Any guidance would be very appreciated and I really appreciate your time in providing a response.
  5. Greetings everyone, I am seeking assistance from someone. I own a 2011, 320d M sport E90 vehicle, and recently I have been experiencing sporadic illumination of the DTC and ABS warning lights. After doing extensive study on several sites, I decided to replace the rear sensors and reluctor rings, as well as the front hubs (except the sensors). Additionally, I replaced the Yaw sensor and ultimately the ABS pump/ECU, since the diagnostics indicated an inherent defect inside the ECU pump. Regrettably, the lights are still being turned on. Today, I was informed that the diagnostic tests revealed a 'implausible' result. As a result, they proceeded to bleed my brakes once more. However, despite this, the warning lights are still on. A buddy used a diagnostic machine and found that it is displaying a 'implausible' error along with a Junction box electrical issue. He believes that the problem is related to the electrical system rather than the mechanical components, which is why the intermittent lights persist even after replacing all the necessary parts. Could you kindly provide any instances of successful resolution of comparable issues with your vehicles? Thank you in advance
  6. Retain the car's original configuration for future restoration purposes. Dismantling the automobile yields a higher financial return.
  7. The load rating is indicated by the numbers "91" and "95". The speed rating is denoted by the letter "Y". As long as you meet or above the manufacturer's officially approved rating, it doesn't matter whether the front and back are different. The user's text consists of a single emoticon, specifically a smiley face. Additionally, I recommend removing the run-flat tyres.
  8. The vehicle in question is an F30 model, which is most likely equipped with Style 400 alloy wheels. Specifications shown below: https://www.carsaddiction.com/en/wheels/bmw/style-400
  9. Attempt a reset on the media system. Search for a diminutive aperture in the facia next to the rotating volume dial. Carefully insert a pen or a paper clip into the aperture, and the head unit should undergo a reset. If the problem persists, it is likely necessary to schedule a visit with a dealer.
  10. I comprehend that the majority of utilities, food, and insurances have significantly increased, mostly owing to the rising expense of living. However, I find it particularly alarming that my insurance premiums have doubled. Devastating blow! I am now affiliated with Saga, a company that caters only to those aged over 50. Could someone suggest a reputable insurance provider? The price I have been given is 2,300. The amount last year was £1,100. There have been no claims or accidents. I anticipated a significant increase, but not to this extent. Any guidance or suggestions would be much appreciated. 😊
  11. A clean MOT history will not have an impact on the selling price, save for those who are easily deceived. However, I can get your need for it to be unambiguous.
  12. In my opinion, silver wheels enhance the appearance of darker automobiles more effectively, however I do believe they look wonderful on any car. Perhaps it would be advisable to consider powder coating them, since they possess an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
  13. By the way, if you want to attend a speed awareness course, you are still required to inform your insurance carrier. If you fail to fulfil the requirements and then file a claim, there is a possibility that they may refuse it and terminate the policy.
  14. Request to see the photographic proof. A friend of mine was caught for driving at a speed of 38 mph in a 30 mph zone. Despite his belief that he was not speeding, he requested to see the proof. He obtained two photographs that depicted the distance travelled and the corresponding speed required to cover that distance. Based on the measures he calculated, he determined that he was travelling at a speed of 27 mph, and he questioned the validity of the proof. After being reviewed by a human, they concurred and dismissed the allegation. It is always beneficial to inquire.
  15. It has been 16 weeks since the automobile was registered. Insurance comparison sites identified the registration number as soon as it reached the age of 5 weeks. I am confused about why it is acknowledged for yearly maintenance but not for the Kia Care service plan. After reading a post on this platform last night, I was compelled to verify the validity of the free 12 months RAC Roadside Assistance and inquire about the service plan. I contacted Kia Care / EMaC. Initially, they were unable to locate the registration number, but ultimately discovered it on a different system. Nevertheless, I was informed that purchasing it online was not an option, and it could only be acquired via phone transactions. The cost was same to that of my nearby dealer. I contacted Kia / RAC Roadside Assistance. They were unable to locate the registration number and were uncertain about how to transfer the breakdown insurance to me. I was instructed to communicate with the vendor. I contacted my nearby dealer. They were also unaware, but said that they will verify with the Area Manager. I contacted the seller from whom I purchased the vehicle, rather than a Kia dealership. The female who responded informed me that the registration number was only necessary if I need assistance from the RAC, which was my first understanding. Unfortunately, nobody was able to provide an explanation for the absence of my registration number in relation to Kia Care. However, my inquiry about RAC Roadside Assistance has been resolved.
  16. Apologies, I misinterpreted the information. What is the cost of your service plan and does it include the first MOT? Did you make the purchase via a dealership or online? Correction - I saw that you said in an earlier post that the price was below £500. Have you verified the price of yearly maintenance in order to compare the expenses? Does anybody have information on the specific dates on which they implement yearly pricing increases, such as January 1st, April 1st, and so on? Although my first service is not scheduled until February, I would consider purchasing a service plan at now moment if the pricing is satisfactory to me. The dealer provided an estimate of £359 for a 2-year service plan and £489 for a 3-year service plan. Tomorrow, I plan to contact EMaC to get a quotation and inquire about the reason why my registration number cannot be located.
  17. I am unable to locate the area where I may manually enter the data. What is perplexing me is that it is acknowledged for yearly maintenance.
  18. When I input my car registration on EMaC to access Kia Care, I get the message, "We are unable to find your vehicle. Please attempt again or get in touch with your dealer." However, I discovered this during my inspection for yearly maintenance. Today, I contacted the service department of the nearby Kia dealership. They achieved identical outcomes until they accessed an other platform. Do you have any hypotheses as to the possible reasons behind this? Additionally, the cost of yearly maintenance for the first 3 years online is £146 for the first year, £222 for the second year, and £146 for the third year. The first year's servicing provided by the Kia dealer costs £210, which is 66% more.
  19. Seems questionable given the price. As previously said, it is advisable to do an HPI check on the automobile. Additionally, it would be beneficial to get the assistance of an individual knowledgeable in C63s to inspect the vehicle.
  20. Do you want one for each hand, Mistral? 🙂
  21. The top component is a temperature sensor, while the bottom component is a wax thermostat. The fan should not be turned on until the temperature reaches 108 degrees. It should be set to stage one before reaching 112 degrees, at which point stage two generally activates. However, with the present software, the fan should be set to stage one at 108.75 degrees.
  22. I was quite irritated by the fact that they informed me that I had to go to Audi for this service, since I had first anticipated it being carried out in my own living room. 😛
