  1. Not compliant with road regulations; imminent backlash anticipated.
  2. Indeed, there are moments when one regrets initiating the endeavor. The condition of my swirl flaps, however. Relieved that it is finally completed.
  3. Resolved! Thoroughly cleaned them to the furthest degree. Number 2 remained unsealed. The copper wash was somewhat crushed—more than I am used to. Restored and adjusted one of the antique items.I am aware that I ought not do, but they have not been in there for an extended period since I performed the chains. Hermetically sealed…not a hint of a breach… Thank you for your response on the bolts; otherwise, I would have remained uncertain about my first thoughts on them. France, I am in route.
  4. I was beginning to feel concerned about the non-genuine rocker cover. My consideration was alignment, and the clamps are positioned off the rocker, securing the bolts; if there were a millimeter of discrepancy, something may not be properly seated. I discovered some copper washers that are 0.5mm thicker, but I have not attempted to use them.
  5. I do not own an airline but used a battery-operated blower. I will attempt to remove them with a paper towel while the bungs remain in the base. I am inclined to go with a bash instead of awaiting the bolts, since I may have overlooked something—an easy oversight, I suppose, after a day contending with the intake manifold, among other tasks. Copper washers should be OK since they have not undergone a heat cycle. Thank you for your feedback; it is much appreciated.
  6. Indeed, it is quite clean; I purchased a bore and seat type tool. Subsequently, they were extinguished using bungs inserted into the orifice in the skull. Admittedly, the first impact seemed to reveal an illusion. I did not believe they were stretched, but I read that someone else had a similar issue and was advised to replace the bolts. I applied a torque of around 26 Nm, since my Sykes wrench is calibrated in increments of 5, but it did not seem sufficiently tight based on my expertise. I am used to using injectors in large cast iron heads that are very tight, using a 12-inch spanner.
  7. Assistance required, please. I replaced my rocker cover and gasket over the weekend; however, I was unable to get a real part in time, so I opted for a non-genuine alternative. The engine ran well; but, after about one minute, the second injector began to leak. Dismantled, cleaned, and reassembled; everything is satisfactory. Subsequently, NO3 began to emit gas. All four were equipped with new washers and were cleaned anyway. I have now bought authentic bolts and copper washers. I was unaware that the bolts required replacement. Will the old bolts likely be the source of this issue? I have seen a message in the E series section indicating that O-rings may contribute to this issue. No O-rings are shown on the official OEM website. Am I missing anything evident, or should I just hope for the best as I re-clean all four fittings, install a fresh set of washers, and torque them with new bolts?
  8. They may be Himalayas grey; however, I believed it was only available for the 18 5 twin-spoke alloys, although variations may exist across other markets.
  9. I possess the identical colour and model year for the 420i.
  10. My vehicle is also automatic, and although this is my first automatic gearbox, I am uncertain if operating my father's 25-year-old Honda Civic with a four-speed automatic qualifies as experience. I configured my vehicle using the Carly app to initiate in Eco Pro mode, since it maintains lower engine RPMs, which is advantageous for a cold engine. Just my two cents. However, it operates with some sluggishness. After the engine reaches a moderate temperature, I transition to comfort mode. In sport mode, I saw that the throttle is more sensitive, and the engine revs higher as it shifts gears at a later point. The steering wheel becomes increasingly cumbersome, presenting excessive effort for me to manage. The automatic Stop/Start feature is exceedingly frustrating; therefore, please configure it to "last position memory." There is no necessity for further strain on the battery and starter for minimal fuel savings.
  11. I was examining that item but confused it with the 20; it is, in fact, a cable tie.đŸ˜‚
  12. I would indicate number 20, since bank 2 will correspond to the rear catalytic converter for cylinders 4, 5, and 6.
  13. Intriguing. There is much discussion on the BMW forums about EGR Valve/Cooler recalls, with a prevailing feeling that it resembles a 'dieselgate' scenario. It is not asserted that this applies to MB; it may well be a coincidence.
