  1. I am willing to spend a higher price for a vehicle with low miles and fewer previous owners, provided that it has been well-maintained. The majority of these automobiles are second or third vehicles that are only utilised during the summer, making it very easy to discover a much superior option.
  2. If there is an issue with the battery, I would recommend having it inspected, particularly the connections. It is important to note that the engine in question is the N57, not the M57. Weak battery symptoms can manifest as many error codes, similar to what you are seeing.
  3. Well done, I am pleased with your performance. I have tried to provide you with the most valuable counsel derived from my own expertise.
  4. Once again, could you please clarify the meaning of that? When there is a fuel pressure of 2 bar, gasoline will leak out in various places, creating the illusion of sufficient fuel pressure. However, the current power level is insufficient to sufficiently activate the High-Pressure Pump (HPP) and provide optimal rail pressure. Therefore, it is necessary to quantify it. A delivery pump with low power may still provide enough pressure, but it may not reach the desired level of effectiveness. Have you ever depressurized a tyre by releasing a Schrader valve at around 30 psi? It forcefully pushes your hand away. Three times the pressure is required to initiate the HPP system, which is crucial for its operation.
  5. I am unaware of any diagnostic equipment that can definitively determine the failure of a high-pressure pump (HPP). I recommend that you thoroughly retrace your steps and conduct a comprehensive diagnostic from the very beginning. Alternatively, the garage may also be responsible. Is there a pressure gradient present in the tank during delivery? If the answer is affirmative, proceed. If not, then you are experiencing a problem with the gasoline pumps located within the tank. If the answer is affirmative, what is the magnitude of the rail pressure? The pressure should exceed 280 bar. If the answer is true, proceed and examine the injector leak off. If not, it is necessary to determine the cause and examine the rail pressure monitoring system to verify the accuracy of the data it provides. There is an evident oversight there. Every reputable shop should have a fuel pressure tester.
  6. Based on the information provided in his profile, it can be inferred that he has an ML320CDI, which is most likely a W164 model. The crank pressure is inconsequential as the High-Pressure Pump (HPP) has previously been changed and the engine is still not starting. It is essential to first examine the fuel delivery pressure originating from the tank. The required pressure is 3.8-4.2 bar. If you do not possess it, it will not start even after an extended period of time. In my experience, every 642 I've seen that didn't start had worn injectors. Typically, they have misfires and emit smoke, but they consistently initiate.
  7. Do you have information on the fuel delivery pressure from the tank to the high-pressure pump (HPP)? There are two methods for verifying this: using a gasoline pressure tester or using a Xentry machine. It seems that you are randomly replacing components without doing a thorough examination. The costliest and exasperating method of repairing an automobile.
  8. Indeed, the delay of 20 or 30 seconds before being able to engage with the UI is bothersome.
  9. Upon starting the vehicle, I am consistently required to acknowledge the user and safety warnings for the XCeed MY23 model. Is there a method to circumvent this procedure? Thank you in advance
  10. I had a 2013 model that underwent a cosmetic update and a 2016 edition E220d, both equipped with a panoramic roof. I opted for the "C" class due to the need of having four doors. I have a strong nostalgia for the 207 mostly due to its aesthetic appeal. Both vehicles were equipped with 19" AMG alloys. Although I have considered returning to a coupe, the C238 model does not fully captivate my interest. I believe that the reduced panoramic roof detracts from the overall appearance, particularly in regards to the rear profile.
  11. Here is a video showing the removal of the whole blower housing from an F07/F10. I am pleased that I saw this particular video, since it clearly demonstrates the precise placement of the blower resistor, which is located at the bottom of the fan housing. I was informed that it was located under the dashboard and would have required disassembling the lower section of the dashboard to access it. I regret not being aware of this information prior to my recent engagement in the task of replacing the fan over the weekend. Consolidating the task and completing it in its entirety with the arrival of the resistor next week would have been a time-saving measure for me. However, I am now capable of completing the task within a time frame of 30 to 40 minutes. This clearly demonstrates the significant profits that the thieves get from repairs.
  12. A test conducted by Quattroruote, an esteemed Italian automotive publication, may be accessed here.
  13. The aforementioned proposition has merit; nonetheless, it is worth noting that the scarcity of mechanics in my vicinity compelled me to choose for the services of the mechanic in question, since they were highly recommended by a select few individuals.
  14. I have initiated communication with @bwchiptune and am now awaiting a response. I express my gratitude for the assistance you have provided.
  15. The vehicle sustained damage. It is unlikely that the vehicle is still covered by warranty. The technician is experiencing a communication problem with the electronic control unit (ECU), although the wiring and connections have been examined and seem to be functioning properly, as confirmed by the mechanic. I express my gratitude for your assistance.
  16. I appreciate your proposal, and I intend to initiate contact with the relevant party in order to ascertain the nature of their offerings. I just had a price quote from BMW for a new engine electronic control unit (ECU), and it is priced at £1150 plus value-added tax (VAT), which may be considered quite expensive. It is conceivable that, given the assumption that the vehicle in question is a 2022 model, there may be additional financial implications associated with obtaining coding services. However, it is advisable to engage with the relevant community to ascertain the available options and offerings for such coding services. The user expresses gratitude for the assistance provided.
  17. Thank you for your response. Indeed, you are accurate in discerning that I was referring to the engine electronic control unit (ECU). Further investigation is required on my part, since my familiarity with this particular kind of car is limited. It is observed that some car manufacturers allow for the interchangeability of electronic control units (ECUs) such as clocks, body control modules (BCMs), keys, and similar components. This process often involves a straightforward switch with little coding requirements. It would be very advantageous if I could acquire a pre-owned electronic control unit (ECU) kit inclusive of all necessary components, and then perform a direct replacement, contingent upon feasibility. However, prior to embarking on this endeavour, it is imperative that I ascertain the requisite steps and considerations associated with this process. I express my gratitude for your assistance.
  18. Greetings, esteemed individuals, I am in possession of a BMW 330e Plug-in Hybrid G21 pre-LCi model. Based on the assessment provided by my automotive technician, it has been determined that the replacement of an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is necessary. Since the automobile is relatively new, the owner is uncertain about which specific components need replacement. Is it sufficient to just acquire an Engine Control Unit (ECU) and have it programmed to the vehicle, or are there other components, such as the speedometer and body control module, that are necessary for proper integration with the vehicle? I am seeking assistance from the members of this community in compiling a comprehensive list of components associated with an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) Kit. I would want to express my gratitude for your assistance and extend my thanks in advance.
  19. Extensive explanations! That means both tanks may use regular tap water.
  20. Firstly, what is the distinction? Additionally, should I use this substance as a coolant additive for replenishing the radiator instead of using tap water? Furthermore, the aforementioned considerations apply to the wind screen top-up as well.
  21. It is improbable that he is currently active on this platform, considering his last recorded activity dates back to the month of June.
  22. The focus of my investigation would be directed at the M117 exhaust manifolds and their connection to the exhaust pipework, which is recognized as a vulnerable area prone to leakage.
  23. Thank you for your prompt reply. The vehicle is being automatically engaged into the park mode. Could you please provide a definition for the term "hand break"?
  24. I have just acquired a 2023 Velar model. I recently attempted to navigate a car through a car wash facility that required the driver to exit the vehicle. Evidently, the 2023 model has a novel safety mechanism whereby the vehicle is promptly shifted into park mode upon the actuation of the door opening. In order to undergo a car wash, it is necessary for the vehicle to be in a neutral gear. Is anybody aware of a potential solution or another approach? The Range Rover brand seems to be unable to provide a satisfactory response to the topic at hand, and their lack of enthusiasm in investigating the matter is evident.
