  1. That's exactly what I was considering after spending the afternoon poring over diagrams. I kind of miss the oil cooler days.
  2. Greetings everyone. After giving the area around the engine a thorough cleaning, I discovered that an oil leak is actually coming from a rectangular plastic cap located on the side of the engine, sandwiched between the sump and the bottom cover of the gearbox. The oil cooler seals were replaced a couple of years ago on this 2011 E350. Much obliged.
  3. Just to clarify, my main concern is whether or not the flaps are same. If I can just slot one in and it works like a charm, without taking the dashboard out, then my problem is solved.
  4. Now we're back to flap. Does the van or any of its derivatives fit?
  5. Warm regards, With a space saver, I guess I should consider myself fortunate. For me, a flat tire might mean death or serious inconvenience because I rode motorcycles. After the early 1990s, I started using puncture safe. (I checked the tyres frequently, but obviously not frequently enough) It wasn't until the MOT pointed out the puncture that I realised I had one. Thankfully, during my time spent riding a motorbike, I never experienced a slow blowout or rapid deflation when driving at high speeds. One of the 125cc scooters I owned, though, did develop a flat tyre. Noticing it was quite low as I was getting out of work. Got home with the help of a borrowed pump that added air. So I skipped waiting for eBay to ship the puncture safety product and instead got the RAC-approved gunk at the petrol station. The few miles to work were a struggle. I strongly advise against it. What if that substance in the note boot is just as effective when you're stranded on a dark rural road at midnight? Eeek! For serious drivers, genuine spare tires.. That is the advertisement campaign, there.Hey there! Putting customer costs first is not cost-effective.
  6. If no one objects, I would appreciate some advice or assistance. In 2010, I drove a Nissan Note E11 Visia. I now realised that the technical data seems to indicate something different than what the specification for mine suggests. According to Visia, the magic sliding back seat is not present. I am grateful to have it. Also, I have dual boot boards, but they aren't working. Ugh. Since my vehicle had what I believe to be the E11 facelift, I was curious if the E12 design brief was a component of that refresh. The fact that my passenger side air vent is lacking a flap is the only reason I've just started to consider it. This has been an eyesore for a long time, but I now want to get rid of it. The flap is all I need; I have no intention of disassembling the dashboard to install a new vent. That the flaps snap into place, most likely without tools. I thought that would solve my problem. However, after perusing eBay, I've seen that the E12 flaps match mine, whereas the E11 flaps don't. I am not willing to spend about £20 on the entire unit if I can just get the one flap for £8 because I only need it. I am therefore looking for a less expensive approach. Now that we know all that, it's a Renault or Nissan. Is anyone among you thinking that this would work as a flap replacement for mine? Other Nissan cars with comparable prices have extremely similar styling. The slightly increased costs of the notes are something I'm simply curious about. If their sizes and styles are identical It would be reasonable to do so on any manufacturing run.
  7. Agree with the decision to disregard. I have been receiving them for my 2007 E90 for years, and just last week did I receive another, despite having sold the car months ago.
  8. In the almost nine years I have owned my 4MATIC GLE, I have never observed such.
  9. I do not wish to be impolite, but in your prior discussion, you have obtained a response regarding the location of all the features your vehicle is equipped with. You possess two production stickers. One should be located in the boot, while the other should be inscribed in your service book on one of the initial pages, as indicated . Alternatively, there are websites that allow you to input your VIN number to decode it and discover your possibilities.
  10. Thank you. Is it accurate to presume that DPF regeneration occurs only once a specific threshold of soot mass is attained, such as around 50 grammes? Should it occur every time you drive on the motorway for around an hour?
  11. Dear All, I possess a 2010 BMW 520D F10. I assessed the DPF status using an OBD2 reader and obtained the subsequent data regarding DPF regeneration. DPF - Distance Travelled Since Last Regeneration = 16,507 km (~10,257 miles) DPF Engine Operating Time Since Last Regeneration = 3010 hours, 5 minutes, 20 seconds DPF-Exhaust Gas Differential Pressure = 95.99 DPF-Soot Mass = 45.99 DPF-Status, Total Remaining Distance = 83,440 km I do not have any notice regarding the DPF on the dashboard. Could you assist me in comprehending the aforementioned readings? I travelled 60 miles last night at an average speed of 65 mph and have undoubtedly covered hundreds of miles in a single journey over the last 10,000 kilometres. What caused the DPF regeneration to fail? Thank you.
  12. According to the VIN decoder, it is a N53. Is that advantageous or disadvantageous?
  13. Thank you, I will obtain the VIN and provide an update.
