An excellent starting point, if there is one...

Give the reset a shot; you never know, my friend. -
Have you ever had a drink spill on the switch panel?

The W211 Xenons' headlights consistently become foggy.
EatSuru replied to drummer's topic in General Discussions
The smart autonomous dipping system was standard on my Mercedes C207. Without a doubt, the most impressive set of headlights I have ever used (I've heard the newest model is even better). Personally, I've had terrible experiences with the Bi Hex headlights on my Skoda Superb. -
A. W126 420 SEC 1991 There is occasionally a "thump" when I shift gears on my W126 automatic gearbox. The problem persists despite my recent efforts to fix it by changing the oil in the gearbox and torque converter. I thought the box had a suction connection for the engine, so maybe that's the problem. Are there any additional connections made while shifting gears? The mechanics were hesitant to remove a "seized" sump bolt for fear of shearing it off, so they refrained from changing the gearbox's filter. Is it possible that the gear shift issue is due to a clogged filter? Please tell me if anyone else has experienced issues with the bolts that hold the gearbox sump together. The idea of shearing it, drilling it out, and then re-tapping it is obviously terrifying. Much obliged.

How does the new set of cam rings that BMW offers compare to the previous ones? -

What is the process for altering the rectangles? I might as well do the new Vanos gears since I'm going to use them anyway. -
Mini N18 Fault Codes 2C58, 2DA2, and 2DA0 • I Need Help!
EatSuru replied to EatSuru's topic in General Discussions
I replaced the tensioner and guides on the fake timing chain, but I left the cam sprockets alone. Since I recently purchased a regular chain kit. Before I started working on the engine, I never had these codes. Even though the engine only required a new head gasket, I decided to change the chain nevertheless. After double-checking the timing, I can confirm that both cams are in sync when the crank is locked and the locking tools for the camshaft are exactly aligned. The engine had to run for some time before this inspection could be done. I installed two Febi Vanos sensors. -
The 2014 MINI Cooper S R60 Countryman N18 Greetings everyone, These engine codes are giving me trouble right now. 2C58 - Control of charging pressure: Turn off as a result The angle offset with respect to the crankshaft outside tolerance is 2DA0 for the intake camshaft. Angle offset with respect to the crankshaft outside tolerance (2DA2)—exhaust camshaft The codes are cleared. I get no problems when the engine is idling or revved up to 2500 rpm, but as soon as I start driving and take off the gas, the trouble codes start popping up again. A new turbo, head gasket, valve stem seals, timing chain, and two new Vanos solenoids were recently installed on the vehicle. The timing and tool alignment have been double-checked. Changes to Vanos have been rolled back. Compression on each cylinder is around 180 psi, which is good for the engine. If you could assist, I would greatly appreciate it.

Full installation of W123 compatible tow bar
EatSuru replied to AMG33D's topic in General Discussions
The rule from 1998 was completely new to me. I do have a 'unsafe, handbuilt, backyard towbar' that I purchased with the intention of using it with a W123, in case anyone is interested. It could work, but it's drastically simplified compared to the real thing, and my trusted German mechanic in Exeter threatens to shoot me if I try to install a "rubbish UK-made" alternative. -
Full installation of W123 compatible tow bar
EatSuru replied to AMG33D's topic in General Discussions
MT24, have you ever come across one? I'm on the hunt for something similar, but hen's teeth are so rare! Where could it be, though? I'm sure it exists. I have one that claims to suit a W123, but my technician is adamant that we can only install one that is EURO type-approved, even if it isn't! So it's not used. -
I cannot provide a solution; nevertheless, this issue should undoubtedly be addressed by the previous owner and/or the dealer prior to the sale.

Discomfort with the Highland column while using Easy Entry
EatSuru replied to Rashman4u's topic in General Discussions
My steering column's expansion during telescope operation was the subject of a service visit yesterday. I received a quote for $430 when I made the appointment. The estimate was changed to zero the day prior to the visit. Incorrect factory lubrication, according to the Service Advisor, caused a spate of columns to start making a growling sound. The noise disappeared as soon as the new steering column was lengthened. Upon returning home, I became aware of a distinct sound produced whenever the steering wheel was turned. They corrected it in under 20 minutes after I drove the half an hour back to the service center. They brought it in straight immediately. Rash was caused by the plastic moulding. Fixing it quickly. -
After searching online for "OEM BMW suspension sensors," I received Several prominent automobile companies provide Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) suspension sensors for BMW. The main suppliers are Continental/VDO, Bosch, Tenneco (Monroe), and ZF (Lemforder/Sachs). When it comes to ride height/level sensors, Continental VDO is a common supplier. Both Aerosus and Arnott provide other, equally good substitutes. Tenneco (via their Continuously Controlled Electronic Suspension system) and Continental (a ZF trademark) are common names for electronic damper control (EDC) and acceleration sensors. Find a brand name when you know the apart number. I don't believe AI or Google are perfect, but you're absolutely correct that the BMW box was overpriced.

Concerning longevity, the Ingenium engine is not the most inferior; that assertion is somewhat exaggerated. However, it did have challenges upon its initial release, most of which have since been resolved or enhanced. Contemporary diesel engines exhibit reliability concerns compared to their predecessors due to the additional components and complexity introduced to comply with stringent Euro regulations. I believe that the fuel additive AR6900-D Max effectively aids in the functioning of the DPF and related components.

Consult the handbook for the selection of available wheels and suggested tyres, and select one from that list. Installing tires outside the specified dimensions may affect insurance coverage.

Thank you, I will conduct some preliminary checks tomorrow and will reach out if I encounter difficulties.

Could this be a grounding problem?

I was anticipating your visit. I shared the same opinion; however, he assessed the battery, which indicated it was functioning properly, and it also failed to jump-start from his pack or the van. I had previously experienced alternator problems that resulted in unusual electrical troubles; yet, he reiterated that the jump start should have initiated the engine. I am enquiring whether there are any unusual minor features that could lead to these symptoms.

Greetings everyone, This is my inaugural post here. Yesterday, my 2016 Clubman SD stalled and is now inoperative. While driving to work as usual, without any prior indications, the collision system indicated a malfunction, subsequently followed by a defect in the stability control system. At this juncture, the vehicle decelerated progressively and the engine ceased operation. The RAC retrieved my vehicle but indicated that their system displayed numerous errors, primarily related to communication issues. I am seeking suggestions for initial steps and plan to schedule an appointment with a small specialist for diagnostic purposes; nonetheless, I am curious if there are prevalent issues similar to this one. Thank you.

I own this feature on my 2025 GLE; it functions effectively and I utilise it most mornings. Heated seats, steering wheel, and overall heating activated. Vehicle prepared for performance.
