  1. However, they are not subjected to emissions testing at maximum revolutions, unlike diesel engines.
  2. I agree; it is beneficial for assisting me in passing the examination. However, it is rather deceptive to do the test at 3000 RPM whereas my ALFA was required to perform the same test at about 5000 RPM. This is only a topic for discussion.
  3. I have not had a testing license since the late 1990s, and that examination began in 1994. To my knowledge, there were no software limitations on derivatives at that time, just the governor. Several individuals involved in tuning, who had elevated governors, expressed dissatisfaction with the alterations at that time. I recall having a few snap belts. A warning was sent about the belt's impending replacement owing to mileage; yet, he persisted on testing it since he need the vehicle. "SNAP!" Vehicles with malfunctioning or removed limiters are often evident from the first rev, resulting in an immediate and significant failure. This is inequitable, since my automobile will not undergo a comprehensive assessment at its limit, perhaps emitting excessive smoke at 4000 RPM without detection at the testing facility.It does not, by the way!
  4. I observed some time ago that my vehicle (OM642, 231 horsepower) does not exceed 3000 RPM in neutral. Initially suspecting a malfunction or limp mode despite the absence of an engine management light, I conducted research and discovered that this behavior is typical for my engine and is functioning as intended. It rebounds off the governor when engaged and in motion. This prompted me to contemplate the MOT, which I have scheduled for this Thursday. The diesel MOT includes revving the engine to the limits a maximum of 12 times for emissions and smoke testing. However, it is likely that my automobile is providing a distorted result owing to the restricted revolutions while stationary. Is this component part of the emissions manipulation program or only a mechanism to save the engine from over revving and potential damage? I was formerly a tester, and upon reviewing the current handbook, it is evident that it addresses a prevalent issue, stating that "if the engine revs are limited by design or software, it should be tested as presented." It seems rather deceptive, since it would undoubtedly emit more pollutants near the redline than at a modest 3000 rpm. Any observations?
  5. I considered purchasing a second-hand laptop just for ISTA, but I ultimately concluded that I do not want to risk damaging it.
  6. I am due to get an exchanged steering rack with an electric power steering motor and have been informed that it will need coding. Am I capable of doing this task myself, and which diagnostic instrument is suitable, or should I consult a garage?
  7. The immobiliser will disengage when a functional key is inserted into the ignition lock. A locksmith cannot create a new key without the capability to program it for your vehicle. This implies the utilisation of Mercedes hardware, which I suspect a local locksmith may not possess. This company can fabricate a new key; however, they are located in Birmingham. A house visit may be financially burdensome. Contact them; they might be able to assist. If that fails, search for Mercedes' primary supplier locally on Google.
  8. Present your V5 and an identification document, such as a passport, at a main dealership to request a new key. Anticipate an expense of approximately Β£300 for a replacement key.
  9. Is better to go to a dealership !
  10. The substance in question is motor oil. The crankshaft front seal or the top valve cover may be the source of the issue, maybe caused by a deteriorated rubber gasket.
  11. Greetings, everyone. Require assistance with a problem with my A Class 2007 1.5 W169 (petrol) vehicle. The serpentine belt became detached as I was driving. The power steering and ABS systems ceased functioning, nevertheless, I was able to safely navigate the vehicle back to my residence due to the short distance travelled. The belt that my technician replaced was promptly torn apart again as soon as he began the engine's idle. The first belt that he replaced was coated in grease and had been partly torn in the centre. The car has been experiencing an oil leakage. I saw the presence of a leak on my driveway as I drove my vehicle away. Oil stains. I have been informed that there is a possibility of a leak occurring on the tensioner, however, my technician has said that he did not see any oil leakage from that specific area. He stated his intention to replace the tensioner and idler pulley tomorrow. Will this prevent the belt from being destroyed again? Do you have any insights on the potential source of this oil leakage? The coolant and oil levels were within normal parameters and the vehicle was functioning OK until the belt suddenly broke. Thank you.
  12. We are situated just underneath him in the Lot et Garonne region. There is a decrease in the population of butterflies and bees, while there is an abundance of wasps, hornets, and mosquitoes.
  13. Arranged specifically for your convenience
  14. I installed a Bentley Grilles C63 type grille on my 204 model. The craftsmanship is excellent, however like to many copies on the market, it is only compatible with a normal 204 and not a C63.
  15. The process of lowering to access height should occur well in advance of his departure from the vehicle.
  16. My device exhibits the same behaviour. I surmised that it may just possess the characteristic of self-leveling, but I am uncertain.
  17. I have not yet had the opportunity to test the Map update. My son placed his tablet scanner on the Beemer and it indicated that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) was around 45 percent obstructed. He was going to do a regeneration process on my behalf. However, I believe there could be one or two sensors that are associated with the DPF regeneration process. I may need to undergo a procedure to have it extracted and thoroughly cleansed. Unless there is an other method of accomplishing it. Apologies, I have never had a BMW with a diesel engine of this particular size and level of intricacy before.
  18. Thank you. I will attempt it. πŸ‘πŸ‘
  19. Greetings Purchased one of these recently. I am now familiarising myself with the dimensions of the object and attempting to understand the functionality of all the control mechanisms. Thus far, there have been no issues. It seems that the previous owner took good care of it. The wife is apprehensive about driving it due to its large size. I have clarified that the vehicle is equipped with front and rear parking sensors, as well as a reversing camera. Additionally, it is a 2010 model that has a satellite navigation system and a sport mode with paddle shift capabilities. I was perusing the command screen and uncertain whether it necessitates an update. Is it advisable to proceed with the update or should I maintain the current state? I believe the maps are from the year 2012. Is it necessary to update them using a disc or can I use a USB drive? Anticipating a long-term ownership due to its exceptional driving performance and the appealing spaciousness in the rear. Thank you.
  20. Yes, they do. Firstly, what other creature would exhibit such behaviour in a residential setting? Furthermore, how could it possess the intelligence to avoid stepping on the adhesive trap itself?
  21. These are unpleasant objects where you may discover either a dead mouse that died from starvation or the limbs it gnawed off in order to flee. If the entity is still in a state of being alive, then it is necessary to terminate its existence. The only remaining alternative is that the trap has been removed by the rodent, which stopped just before fully stepping across it and instead carried it away to carry out its limb amputation in a more secluded location.
  22. What are the advantages of Inconel over titanium? If I were to replace my titanium exhaust with an Inconel one, what noticeable changes would I experience?
