  1. There is just enough space to insert the 27mm socket onto the bolt, as shown in the images below, for it to fit within the pulley. So that it would lay flat on the metal cross member directly beneath, I bevelled the end of the bar. If anyone else needs to change the crankshaft pulley but doesn't want to spend £80 on the right equipment, I thought I'd share some pictures and measurements. Half an inch thick and one and a half inches wide is the dimensions of the bar. To form the angle to rest on the cross member, the longest side is 11.5 inches and the other side is 11 inches. Surprisingly, the holes were drilled at a metal fabricators where I obtained the metal bar, but to my delight, they fit precisely. Ignore all other holes; the ones you need to drill are 3.5 and 8 centimetres from the end. To avoid protruding, the M8 bolts have been trimmed to fit snugly inside the pulleys' holes. Since I despise reading things that don't end, I updated this in the hopes that it would be useful.
  2. Apologies for the oversight. I should have clarified that I did locate the tool; but, it can only be bought from an American vendor and will set you back £80 (not including delivery). An amusing trinket for an occasional use item... Therefore, I am attempting to construct my own tool in some way. I have been contemplating this idea all day and plan to cut two little pieces off the end of the metal rod tonight to form a triangle. Then, I will thread another bolt through the top to hopefully secure it more firmly. Upon my return, I will share a photo.
  3. Salutations everyone, I have spent days researching the problem and have bought all the essential parts, including a genuine MERC harmonic balancer and bolt, a torque wrench to tighten to 200 nm, and a 27 mm impact socket, but I still can't figure out how to lock the pulley so I can remove the 27 mm bolt. As a means of leverage, I possess two sections of scaffolding pipe. A 50 mm thick piece of steel that I had drilled four holes at the end, fastened with two long bolts, and wedged into the ground was my creation. It was working fine until it fell out. Curious if anybody has ever created their very own tool... While the YouTube video demonstrates the proper usage of an equal tee with a coupler and flange, I'm afraid that this setup will not accommodate the 27mm bolt. There doesn't appear to be a flange that can accommodate both the 27 mm bolt and fitting inside the balancer. Please, if you have any ideas, help me get this beast back on the road! Best regards
  4. Although I like the 1999 C240 elegance's comfortable ride, I'm not a huge fan of how high it sits. Several variants of the C240 have caught my eye; for example, the sport version appears to have a lower seating position than the elegance version. Is it easy to switch over the elegance setup for the sports setup? What adjustments would be necessary in that case?Also, how would the level of comfort during the voyage change? I'm not trying to get too low; rather, I'd like to make a little adjustment to my posture and handling while still being quite comfortable. I would be grateful for any advice you could provide me.
  5. Greetings. Is it possible for a BMW-approved shop to only indicate that they have inspected my EGR cooler in order to cease the receipt of these recall notifications? My vehicle has undergone an EGR delete, and I wish to ensure that no actions are taken that could revert the software or any related modifications. I have delayed addressing this matter due to the aforementioned reasons, as well as my previous lack of proximity to an authorised garage and time constraints. Thank you in advance
  6. Regrettably, my plans have altered, hence more exploration is unnecessary. Thank you, everyone.
  7. 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.
  8. I concur, although I am confident I can locate a short-term insurance option. This is feasible here, at the very least.
  9. No, I am referring to all situations. The automobile is decelerating, but I am uncertain if it is utilising the engine or the brakes to do so. I believe it would be beneficial for the vehicles following you, as the braking motion might be quite abrupt.
  10. Does the brake light activate when decelerating the engine when utilising adaptive cruise control?
  11. Understood. Are there other methods to verify it? All the information I have seen indicates that the EGR is becoming stuck in either the open or closed position.
  12. I will do that; do you have any suggestions on what to examine if it is not an EGR problem?
  13. There are two slender tubes connected to the EGR system in my vehicle. Would it be safe to operate the automobile if I detach these two tubes? Should I remove one hose, and if so, should I secure the severed hose or leave it untethered?
  14. Hello everyone, my 118d automatic, 59 plate, has intermittent stuttering and then stalls while decelerating to a halt. This issue occurs only when the engine is cold, primarily during the first mile of driving. Last year, I replaced the gasoline filter, which significantly decreased the frequency of stalling; nevertheless, it now occurs almost every morning. The vehicle restarts without issue after stalling, and there are no warning lights illuminated on the dashboard. I believed the filter was expected to last for more than a year. Is it possible that it is anything different? Would it be advisable to remove the EGR for the purpose of cleaning it? Additionally, I am uncertain if it is pertinent, but the engine operates with considerable noise and roughness at idle. I replaced the belt tensioner last year, which significantly improved performance; however, could the tensioner require replacement once more? Are these issues interconnected?
