  1. The issue is that the IBS is located at the negative terminal of the battery, necessitating a connection to an other grounding point. BMW recommends the terminals located in the engine compartment.
  2. Thank you, the battery is located in the trunk. I will ascertain if I own a T50.
  3. Greetings, everyone. I own a Ctek 5.0 charger equipped with a new cable (CTEK 56-261) for hardwiring in the engine compartment near the battery terminals. Is there anybody who can provide guidance on their removal? Does it resemble hex in the center of the post? The vehicle is a 640D. Where should I attach the negative side, considering the cable is around 40 cm length for hardwiring? Thank you.
  4. The original equipment manufacturer front springs on my C55 AMG were produced by Eibach. The firm refused to sell directly to me; I procured the items via MB, where the pricing was fair and I was assured of the exact components.
  5. I consistently do an Italian tune-up on our vehicles on route to the examination.
  6. Porters are significant in the United States.
  7. Are Endless brake pads manufactured in the United States? Portersfield R4S is another excellent brand of pads, specifically designed for street racing. Exceedingly clean rims devoid of dust and very compatible with rotors. This is a pad manufactured in the United States. A UK branch sells these imported pads; I purchased a set before to Brexit and incurred no tariffs. No, it is all subpar due to the additional costs associated with tariffs.
  8. I disagree; the back seats are plenty comfy, and the legroom is enough, even for adult passengers. The optional sunroof seems to restrict headroom to some extent. The rear row is insufficiently spacious to accommodate 3 people comfortably, although it may comfortably accommodate 2 individuals.
  9. My 158 gdi works well. Exhibits strong pulling power starting at around 1300 revolutions per minute.However, it may exhibit some reluctance at low engine speeds.If the automobile is not completely motionless, you must be in first gear. However, for some of my prior cars, second gear would allow for smooth acceleration from extremely low speeds. I promptly adjusted my driving technique to a little extent, and it has never posed any issues. I only had a single instance of stalling the vehicle throughout a span of 9000 miles of driving. The first vehicle you test drove was evidently a failure, therefore it is advisable to avoid it.
  10. Congratulations for successfully doing the repairs - it is very gratifying when you are able to resolve the issue alone. I own an automobile that is comparable, however it is from the year 2009 and has a higher mileage. I have driven 10,000 km since last year and completely repaired the suspension. However, I am still experiencing a little knocking sound, which I believe is due to the Febi components. Unfortunately, I have not had positive experiences with them lately. A toast to the new year! I saw your previous post about a broken batwing, which is an often seen issue. In my case, I resolved the problem by replacing the damaged component with a silicone tee. I am inclined to replace the O2 sensor as a standard procedure as it is the original one.
  11. It is possible that the auxiliary battery was either damaged or worn out. The alternator produces an output of 14.7 volts to charge the battery. It provides no information on the battery. The battery voltage is measured in the absence of engine operation. It seems that the primary battery is malfunctioning and likely requires replacement. Is this the authentic version? If such is the case, it has been completed satisfactorily.
  12. The post to which I was alluding has been removed or modified, and it was not authored by you.
  13. he explicitly intended to get a replica that closely resembles the original at a reasonable cost, rather than insisting on the authentic item. Several replica components are of sufficient quality for a vehicle that is used daily and does not need a high standard for display purposes, particularly because Mercedes does not manufacture a large number of parts itself, but rather assembles automobiles. Not all individuals seek assistance from the authorised dealer for all repairs and replacement parts. The majority of people are not easily deceived and many previous Mercedes owners do not own significant wealth, owning neither antique Black Series models nor brand new AMG vehicles. Patronising others is unnecessary and unkind.:(
  14. As previously mentioned, the device requires recharging. Merely idling, a vehicle consumes a little amount of energy, although it does. It is commendable that after 4 months, you are still at the beginning stage.
  15. Simply drop the vehicle completely onto the ground and it should automatically inflate. Then, connect the ista device and remove any codes that may have been recorded.
  16. So, if I understand correctly, you have not yet returned it to the ground? My car's functionality was restored only when it was placed back on all four wheels. To get ista, you have the option to download it from several web sources or buy an enet lead from Amazon.
  17. When I replaced the bags on my previous f11, I followed the same procedure as you and removed the pipes to empty them. Following the modification and adjustment of the vehicle, the suspension inflated to its regular level. It may be beneficial to use advanced diagnostic tools such as ISTA for a more thorough scan.
  18. Placing a large quantity of silica gel in the automobile will draw in and soak up moisture. I store one in the trunk to prevent moisture accumulation.

    A few people, myself included, have added Bluetooth battery monitors. Provides instantaneous, contactless voltage measurements and is capable of performing cranking and charging tests. After comparing the battery's performance before and after the security update, there is no discernible change. Currently, the battery is at around 12.8 volts, 8 hours after a drive earlier today.

    It is peculiar that Land Rover sells (or sold) a connection to facilitate the use of their branded CTek charger on the Evoque 2, L551 models, which are all either MHEV or PHEV. This is remarkable since independent sources indicate that these models have a 12v battery that should not be charged while connected to the vehicle. As per usual, the purported professional lacks knowledge in his statements. Based on my experience, it is possible to charge the batteries in the vehicle. However, it is important to avoid using the reconditioning option, as it raises the voltage beyond 15 volts, which is not compatible with the car's systems.
  21. I have just purchased a pre-owned EKP module from the online marketplace eBay. At a price of £20, it is highly recommended to give it a try. I will attempt to locate the YouTube video, however there are several videos available, indicating that the EKP (Electronic Keying Protocol) may be experiencing issues. Conceptually, I am obligated to programme the substitute component for my automobile. I am unable to do so, thus we will observe and ascertain the outcome. I will inform you of my progress.
  22. Indeed, I seen a YouTube video on this matter, where the individual disconnected his Electronic Control Unit (ECU), resulting in the continuous operation of the fuel pump located inside the fuel tank. If that statement is accurate, it will assist me in identifying and resolving any issues. Nowadays, things are becoming further intricate and challenging to ascertain. Today, I will begin with the execution of the EKP. I really appreciate your assistance.
  23. I am now located in Yorkshire, namely between the cities of Leeds and Goole. The Foxwell NT650 seems to have a rudimentary design, and I had to install the software onto it in order to use it with my automobile. It functions primarily as a service light reset tool rather than a comprehensive scanning. Amazon.co.uk
