All Activity

Greetings to all. I am enquiring if anyone is able to assist me. I possess a 2017 Mercedes C63S, and the other evening, under inclement weather, I undertook a two-hour journey. After traversing several shallow rain puddles, I suddenly saw a red battery warning on my dashboard, accompanied by a significant decrease in vehicle power as I entered the freeway. I drive over to the side and turn off the truck. The vehicle failed to initiate or start once more. Upon returning home and recovering, I charged the battery, but it has made no impact. All the lights and other components appear to be functioning properly, yet the engine fails to start. I am seeing several warnings on the dashboard. Traction control nonfunctional, electronic rear axle differential lock inoperative, etc. I conducted a cursory examination and obtained several codes. U010031 There is a fault in the communication with the "combustion engine" control unit. The signal is absent. U010029 indicates a problem in communication with the "combustion engine" control unit. An incorrect signal exists. Has anyone experienced something analogous? Assistance is valued.

N53.

The 3.0i was marketed as the 25i and 30i. Identical engine, although configured differently at the factory and equipped with a distinct intake manifold. The N52 utilised port injection and was regarded as highly reliable; nevertheless, it is ageing and requires numerous component replacements. The N53 was BMW's first direct injection engine and represented a significant advancement. Concerns include the NOx sensor, NOx catalytic converter, injectors, and high-pressure fuel pump. These are notorious for malfunctioning, and the repair costs can be substantial. I have observed individuals acquiring discount N53 vehicles, only to later lament on forums about engine misfiring, with mechanics stating that six new injectors are required. Conduct extensive research prior to making a purchase.

I am examining the 3.0 version.

I believed the N53 was exclusively offered in 25i and 30i variants. Both engines possess advantages and disadvantages.

According to the VIN decoder, it is a N53. Is that advantageous or disadvantageous?

Thank you, I will obtain the VIN and provide an update.

The European market variant of the vehicle was equipped with the N53B30 engine, whereas the Asian market variant used the N52B25. However, I would recommend verifying the VIN.

It may be either n52 or n53; therefore, it is advisable to proceed as indicated and verify using the VIN number.

Verify using your vehicle's VIN. Does the vendor not supply the VIN, or are there no local websites that offer the VIN along with the registration plate?

I would like someone to verify the type of engine in a specific automobile. I am examining a 2011 523i 3.0, registered on September 8, 2011. I believe it is a N52, but does anyone have confirmation? Thank you, everyone!

Regrettably, my plans have altered, hence more exploration is unnecessary. Thank you, everyone.

I am not in a hurry; this may be advantageous.Perhaps you could determine how that may be feasible; I will provide you with my contact information.

I concur, although I am confident I can locate a short-term insurance option. This is feasible here, at the very least.

We offer classic car rentals, including a Range Rover. However, I am now resolving an injector issue.

I just sought a Defender hire for a film shot and discovered these options that may be beneficial:

A private owner considering the sale of a Classic would mostly be concerned with insurance coverage and the potential for mechanical failure, even if the vehicle has demonstrated reliability historically.

I have been searching for some time without success: I wish to take my family on a week-long trip to Southeast UK this October, and I desire to go in style, namely by utilising a Classic Range Rover. Originating from Germany, I have possessed multiple Range Rovers throughout my life (e.g., Sport, Evoque), however the Classic remains a boyhood aspiration. I utilised Turo in the US for private car rentals; however, their offerings in the UK appear to be somewhat restricted, mostly featuring just relatively recent vehicles. Other rental companies offer classic automobiles for films, weddings, and similar events at exorbitant fees. Does anyone have suggestions for renting a historic Rolls Royce for self-driving at a reasonable rate, rather than an inexpensive one? Thank you very much!
