Indeed, I have never possessed a 5-speed automatic gearbox. The 7G gearbox is the one I have encountered, and the main issue lies with the electroplate. Unless the gearbox has been subjected to extensive mileage and has never undergone any automatic gearbox fluid changes, the electroplate tends to be problematic. Independent mechanics are generally reliable, but I have observed that unless they have access to a car lift that they can spare for a few days, they are not particularly enthusias Regardless of the independent service provider you choose, they will all perform the same task of removing the electro plate and sending it for repair. I personally used ECU Testing, where you can simply access their website and follow the provided instructions. The turnaround time was approximately one week, which allowed me enough time to acquire the new gearbox sump bolts, filter, and ATF oil. Since the electro plate was the original component and did not require any coding, there was no need for additional expenses. Furthermore, if ECU Testing determines that there is no issue with your electro plate during the testing process, they will only charge you for the testing itself.

It is likely that you have an issue with the electro plate. If you purchase a new one, you will need to have it programmed by a Star. However, if you choose to have your current plate repaired, it is a simple plug and play process. There are a few places that offer postal repair services for plates, where you can send it in for repair and have it returned to you. Independent mechanics, on the other hand, are unable to diagnose the problem as they lack the necessary equipment to analyse the plate's functionality, unlike professional repairers.

He is an avid enthusiast of Toyota, asserting that Toyota is the superior choice. He often releases videos addressing typical issues with Toyota vehicles. Additionally, it is evident that he enjoys a luxurious driving experience reminiscent of a plush sofa. This is not intended for him, and I am OK with that. From a personal standpoint, I find NPC automobiles like as Toyota and Lexus to be unappealing. The duration of life is insufficient to operate a mundane Toyota/Lexus product. Hence, I own an Alfa Romeo Giulia, while my spouse has a CX-90 PHEV.

For the purpose of resealing injectors on my OM648, I have consistently used the Laser 6101 kit. The amount I paid was far lower than the promised pricing. Approximately £30 comes to mind. The Nylon brushes effectively clean the sealing face. I own a seat cutting kit, however I have not yet encountered a situation that necessitated its usage. Based on my observation, it is the copper washer that experiences erosion rather than the aluminium head.

Purchased a 520d and noticed a rattling noise. The air filter was loose.

CrawlerTagz, we are not mind readers. As already said. It is possible that the issue lies with a cracked manifold, however this is simply a speculative assumption. -
Has the size of the CX-70 been determined yet? I read that the CX-70 has the same dimensions as the 90. Some sources indicate that the CX-70 will be somewhat bigger than the CX-60, which is not available in the United States.

How did we manage to endure till reaching adulthood?

During a geology field trip in the early 1970s, we ended our outing early due to the cold and rainy weather and went to a bar with the professor and lecturers. After many scoops, the weather improved, and the professor said that we would ascend the cliff to see the limestone karst scenery we were meant to view, via a very small sheep route up the cliff's face. We proceeded without doing a risk assessment and everyone arrived safely. During a previous visit to the renowned Jurassic coast of Dorset, our adventurous guide insisted on taking a direct route from point A to point B, leading us through dense bramble woods and other obstacles. No individuals without courage or determination are accepted in my university course, regardless of gender or role as a student or instructor. -
I just purchased an X1 from Startstone BMW Leeds. During the purchase negotiations, it was mentioned that an authorised BMW vehicle must be supplied with BMW-approved specifications. For instance, if non-BMW brake pads were installed, they would need to be replaced with BMW brake pads. If the windscreen is non-standard, it should be changed according to BMW requirements

Oil change for L405 TD6: Which kind of oil and at what frequency?
BuffUpdate replied to CrawlerTagz's topic in General
I am now using 5w30 C1 oil and want to switch to LiquiMoly on the next change. I have a Mahle oil filter, Hengst air filter, Mahle fuel filter, and Mahle CareMetix cabin filter. The oil examination I conducted showed positive results after driving 9,300 miles (15,000km). I will be travelling 8,000 miles (13,000km) on the next trip. -
I always wear sunglasses when skiing, even in overcast weather. It aids in seeing the undulations.

The BMW E46 330d is experiencing a red oil pressure light.
BuffUpdate replied to Mantelle's topic in General
Installing the original clocks that were previously synchronised with the ECU into the automobile should resolve the issue. -

Various error indicators may appear when the cluster is transferred between vehicles, as was the situation with mine, or when the ECU is replaced. In contrast to the E36, these clusters are "coded" to the ECU during the manufacturing process and must be re-coded to the new ECU in order to function correctly without any error indicators. If a tutorial on YouTube is not available, it is advisable to seek the assistance of a BMW or auto electronics professional, since clusters are well-known for being prone to breakdowns. -
I had a same issue with my 2010 vehicle. The cause of the issue was the timing chain. A slack chain might result in misfire codes since it disrupts the accurate timing. To assess the slackness of the chain tension, just loosen the oil filler cap and delicately manipulate it in an upward and downward motion with a screwdriver. If it seems excessive, it will be removed or eliminated quickly. Should be snug with little looseness. Hopefully, this information proves beneficial.

The multicontour seats of the 2007 S211 E550 are not functioning.
BuffUpdate replied to FreexPatty's topic in General
Refer to my previous remark. What is your rationale for believing that the pump would operate in the absence of a person on the seat? It is important to note that a small number of E500 cars were sold in 2007, and among them, only few were equipped with ventilated seats. The esoteric technology is used in other models, including the S, CL, and GL class. However, the majority of do-it-yourselfers and even highly skilled MB Master technicians will not have encountered the need to do maintenance on it. (C55, sometimes known as PCS, is excluded, etc.) I have had a total of ten luxury vehicles, including five E500 models and five V8 roadsters, coupes, and saloons. However, only one of these vehicles was equipped with vented and multi-contoured seats, which I never found necessary to use. A little online search reveals that the cost of the pump is a predictable £800. However, I am curious as to why you believe it is necessary to get a new pump given the existing one functions well when directly connected to a 12v power source. -

Indeed, you lack knowledge about the qualities of a competent Independent expert. Furthermore, you fail to comprehend the remarkably affordable rates of a proficient and certified automotive electrician. In the last twenty years, I have seldom had diagnostic tests. However, on around fifty percent of those occasions, the tests were provided at no cost, while on other occasions, the expenses incurred were far below one hundred dollars. Wishing you success in creating your wiring diagram (You were inquiring whether chairs inflate even in the absence of someone sitting on them... Were you not? -
Some locksmiths have the ability to duplicate your key without requiring ODIS connectivity. Requires simply a little duration. The lock technology used in the R8 Gen 1 was introduced in 2004. Several firms have not successfully deciphered the protocols.

Purchase a Varta battery, since they are the original equipment provider. There are other online vendors available on eBay. Personally, I like using batterymegastore, while Tayna offers similar products and services. Additionally, there are additional options to choose from. Next-day delivery is the standard practice.
