  1. Toyota employed remote access to deactivate the pre-heating function, utilised for warming the vehicles before to operation. Drivers would activate it 10 minutes prior to travel to ensure their vehicle is heated and free of ice. Toyota representative Ralph Müller stated: "The pre-air conditioning feature is complimentary within the MyToyota app or Lexus Link Plus app." This function remains accessible for all fully electric and plug-in hybrid automobiles. This is effective for vehicles with conventional drive only when the combustion engine is operational. The legislator deems this a superfluous operation of the engine or an avoidable emission of exhaust gases, which is forbidden. This is not well recognised by many users. In Europe, there exists no standardised legal framework, as indicated by a relevant notification in the application. To safeguard the vehicle operator from penalties, we have disabled the function on these vehicles.
  2. Governments can use measures to regulate your energy consumption. German authorities mandated Lexus to disable the parking heating feature in Lexus vehicles during winter.
  3. You have not provided the kilometres travelled, the state in which it has been maintained (history), the type of engine oil used, or the distance between oil and filter changes, which are necessary for making assessments of its potential condition. I trust you will find this beneficial.
  4. Compressed air can also be utilised on a regulator, through the spark plug port, to elevate the valves, typically for the purpose of replacing the valve stems. Similar to the apparatus employed for leak-down compression testing, this method is superior as it pinpoint the source of the problem. A compression test will just indicate the presence of an issue, which I believe you may be referencing with 'pressure tests'. YouTube features films comparing 'compression tests and leak-down compression tests,' regardless of the engine type, if this piques your curiosity.
  5. The PCV valve may malfunction, and the baffles in the valve cover may become obstructed, allowing excessive oil to enter the air intake system as an additional potential cause. This may occur when fragments of a wet belt induce a failure mode, albeit it is not the sole cause of failure. This would be a more economical component to inspect or replace, and the aforementioned test would not detect this issue. The PCV valve is typically integrated into the valve cover and may be serviceable; one can either clean the baffles or replace the entire valve cover, which includes the valve. Examine the intake at the MAP sensor for excessive oil, or trace the smaller pipe (about 17-19mm ID) that connects the valve cover to the air intake and inspect the source. The PCV system manages blow-by gases in the engine, and while all engines possess a mechanism for this management, it is particularly crucial in turbocharged engines, which generate greater blow-by compared to natively aspirated engines. The mechanisms employed for regulation include Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV), Closed Crankcase Ventilation (CCV), and Open Crankcase Ventilation (OCV), the latter of which is virtually obsolete under emission regulations, thus applicable only to vehicles manufactured prior to the 1970s or utilised in racing or off-road contexts where emission standards are not enforced. PCV and CCV appear to be identical systems; however, the primary distinction in CCV is that the ECU must consider all the air. Your vehicle is equipped with a PCV control system, but only Peugeot diesel models utilise a CCV control system. The majority of diesel engines utilise CCV; however, certain models, such as Cummins, employ PCV control. On these engines, it is possible to install BOVs on the turbo without causing the ECU to malfunction, including stalling the engine due to unmonitored air. While BOVs are not essential for diesel engines, some enthusiasts appreciate the sound they produce.
  6. I would not have spent £4,500 for the white one, nor almost £6,000 for the red one. Additionally, I possessed another red one in Zinnober red, a convertible in dazzling red, and a black one as well.
  7. Why engage in it when a lowering module is available? Upon doing a Google search, I discovered that it is possible to alter each axle independently, which may be beneficial.
  8. Indeed, it is diesel. I have submitted a support request to Bimmerlink and am awaiting a response. Salutations
  9. It was not my screenshot; it was merely an example of another individual's. I am still unable to locate it. I will review it again later. My AuDHD is not beneficial to me either. 👍 Thank you for your responses.
  10. I am experiencing an identical issue to previous post, and they are utilising it. They also indicate that they are not receiving a cell. Experiencing rough, juddering acceleration when cold, especially in recent warm weather, raising uncertainty regarding the glow plug or similar components.
  11. Hello, I have observed individuals claiming that BimmerLink possesses a misfire detection feature; yet, I am unable to locate it. Is this functionality exclusive to specific models? Alternatively, a guide to locate it. Thank you
