Problems with the thermostat housing in the Mini R56.
DownContent replied to CrawlerTagz's topic in General
The correct voltage for the thermostat is 12 volts on the common wire. The electronic control unit (ECU) controls the on and off switching of the earth wire to activate the thermostat. As for the capacity of the coolant system, it can hold up to 5.2 litres when completely empty. However, there may still be some coolant remaining in the radiator and heater matrix, as they have lower points than the engine coolant system. To fill the system, fill the header tank halfway and open the bleed screw on the thermostat housing to release any air. It is helpful to have the passenger side of the car elevated higher than the driver side to facilitate the release of air towards the bleed screw. I recommend running the system until the hoses become firm, then shutting it off. This will allow the system to purge itself of any remaining air. -
Informative, thank you for sharing. My car was the last V10 Plus manufactured in 2017.

Most automobiles do not come equipped with Android Auto as a standard feature.

Superior than Chinese Android touch displays. You may also contact the UK firm for warranty claims and other issues.

How did we manage to endure till reaching adulthood?

Aside from a short period of bullying that I quickly stopped, I really enjoyed my time in the Scouts. It seems probable that the reasons we enjoyed it so would all be prohibited. -

Undoubtedly, they will be blamed for his decision to go alone. -

Extremely sorrowful. We engaged in very risky behaviour at Scout camps. The incidents mostly revolved around fire, heights, axes, knives, and motorcycles, sometimes with the assistance of alcohol and pyrotechnics. -
I had to pay £150 for a defective Front Cigarette Lighter.

Is an inspection/diagnostic cost charged? If the issue is covered by the warranty, will the price be refunded? Since the issue (fuse) was not covered by the warranty, you are responsible for the expense. -
Has anybody heard of Carrera Exhaust for the R8?

The car is intended for the Mrs, who typically covers a distance of around 12,000 miles per year. Approximately 70% of the driving takes place in urban areas, while the remaining portion occurs on highways. She need just heated seats and phone connection. Is the Mercland warranty self-underwritten or underwritten by a third party?

I purchased the item from a nearby vendor that has a favourable reputation on this platform. I would want to ensure that there are no possible significant expenses in the horizon. If anybody can provide advice, please do so. The price of the 2012 E350 is £9,490. https://www.mercland.com/vehicle/mercedes-e350-sport-cdi-blueefficiency-ss-auto-in-nuneaton-warwickshire-19b39144-1eea-4a1f-a504-b108012d8d1d The price of the 2015 E350 is £12,990. https://www.mercland.com/vehicle/mercedes-e350-amg-night-edition-premium-bluetec-auto-in-nuneaton-warwickshire-3908ebb5-61e1-43fe-ac84-b0c801251180

As of 2023, I just purchased a set of brand new R129 wings from Mercedes. Each wing cost £474.30, resulting in a total of £1138.32 for the pair, including VAT. Exercise caution while dealing with EBay; I recently came across a listing for a used set of wings that had signs of damage such as scratches, bends, and corrosion. The asking price for these wings was £800.00.

I would inquire the vendor by posing certain inquiries. -
Thank you! Similarly, I too contemplated this matter - the cubby seemed to be a favourable concept, although I encountered two concerns with it: 1. Inserting and removing your phone from the slot may be a challenge, especially when reaching behind your shoulder. To ensure proper charging on the pad, it is necessary to discover a method to position the phone accurately in the designated area, considering that the cubby is much bigger than the phone. 2. You would need to devise a method to secure the phone in a stationary position to prevent it from moving. There are clearly methods to resolve this. 3. There would be plenty more slot capacity, since your phone would use just a certain amount of space. I was unable to determine further items that I could include in order to fully use the available space. Please provide me with updates about the progress and outcome of your situation.

The wireless charger was a great fit and was securely placed on the rear parcel shelf using zip ties and a makeshift gasket. The final result appears and functions flawlessly. The phone is securely secured and charges well! This update is excellent and I believe it does not need any modifications, save maybe a carbon fibre dip or wrap, but I am now satisfied with the black plastic.

Similar to many others, I found the CD player in my Gen 1 to be somewhat ineffective, particularly after I had swapped the original stereo/head-unit with a Maestro Carplay unit from a third-party manufacturer. Lately, the weather in Indiana has been rather chilly, allowing me the opportunity to retrieve my CD player and contemplate strategies for integrating a phone holder and charger into my car's interior. I began the task by removing the CD player and the rear parcel shelf: Upon careful examination of the plastic trim ring, I determined that I had the capability to create a three-dimensional digital model and then produce a replacement using a three-dimensional printer. This replacement would effectively occupy the space formerly occupied by the CD player. I acquired an ultra-slim wireless charger that operates via a USB C cable. I strategically positioned the cable through the centre console and connected it to the ashtray cigarette lighter using a right-angle USB C adaptor, ensuring enough space for the ashtray lid to be securely closed. Initial trim component: The first iteration of Fusion 360 has a cavity designed to accommodate a wireless charger, as well as a platform to securely hold a phone against it. Below is the visual representation of the component when it was printed: Upon conducting a test fit, I discovered that the back portion of the plate, which gradually narrows down to a square surface intended to rest against a CD player that is no longer there, does not need such intricate design. After making a few modifications, we have arrived at the final component, which now has a much simplified rear section that can be easily connected to the parcel shelf.
