  1. For that task, a Dremel would be the right tool to use. Just like I mentioned before, wait to attach the wiper arm after you've let the vehicle run and park before installing the replacement. Otherwise, you might find yourself wiping the number plate again, haha.
  2. You may get a used wiper motor on eBay or at a scrapyard. Put the wiper arm on only after you've tried the engine and parked.
  3. It does resemble the circular vent on my E12.
  4. They will not approve it unless they execute the recall. You must simply disregard the letters.
  5. It may be prudent to elevate the vehicle on a ramp to inspect the wheel bearing.
  6. I was referring to the leak-down test. I apologise for the improper designation. I would be concerned about utilising compressed air to secure valves due to the potential for a disruption in the air supply. There is excessive risk involved for me!
  7. Reports indicate that the 1.2 Purecrap engine may have excessive oil consumption for two reasons. The first issue arises from the valve stem oil seals, while the second results from deteriorated oil control rings on the pistons. Pressure testing can determine the situation. If the valve stem oil seals are defective, they can be replaced in situ using a method known as the coiled rope technique in the combustion chamber. I lack direct experience on this matter. Piston rings necessitate additional disassembly of the engine.
  8. While this is true, I would not invest £120,000 to return there.
  9. What is the rationale for this? The 530d is a high-performance vehicle from the manufacturer. Your insurance premiums will significantly increase or become void.
  10. Greetings, I have used Endless Pads on my W204, and frankly, the performance is fantastic, particularly for dynamic driving. They are only substantial. However, for everyday usage and little miles, I would assert that high-quality OEM pads may provide superior value. Endless pads provide a luxurious experience and are compatible with rotors; yet, for routine urban or light use, they may be excessive.
  11. Are you frustrated when an SUV, while attempting rapid acceleration, with a small engine—presumably equipped with a turbocharger—is maintaining a lower gear despite your foot remaining on the accelerator? It seems to be preparing for you to accelerate more and/or recharge the battery somewhat after your recent exertion. My 2.5 8-speed automatic exhibits this behaviour in sports mode, however in standard mode, it attempts to change to a higher gear as rapidly as possible, immediately upon little release of the accelerator. My last Ford exhibited rapid shifting similar to your VW, which I deemed inefficient, since it necessitated downshifting upon subsequent acceleration. Similar to entering a freeway ramp, one must accelerate, then decelerate somewhat to get a clear perspective, allowing for either a merge or an increase in speed to follow the flow of traffic. I like it to maintain the lower gear and await clarification of my intentions rather than abruptly shifting to 8th gear, necessitating a further downshift to 4th gear to complete the merging. Contact the dealer; however, if there is no hard shifting, warning light, or other malfunction, they will likely assert that it is functioning normally. If you can locate a somebody to adjust the gearbox like I did with my Ford, you may be able to resolve that issue. Best of luck in finding a coder for that configuration. It would be a daunting challenge to navigate, with several complexities involved in facilitating movement.
  12. I agree that individuals may exhibit unpleasant behaviour in any automotive community. Condemning us all based on a single post, likening us to Tampa, is unkind. Ironically, the Volkswagen community has shown the worst level of toxicity I have seen in almost thirty years of moderating automotive forums and formerly participating in motorsports. I may return soon. In my opinion, the VR6 and everything else is over overrated.
  13. The succinct response to your inquiry is a variety of possible reasons. You do not provide guidance on whether you have conducted any preliminary inspections; nonetheless, components like fuses and fuse holders have to be examined for corrosion. A potentially frayed wire under the dashboard panel. A potentially loose connecting block. An unsuccessful earth connection. Alternatively, there may be an inherent malfunction of the Infotainment, Radio, or Satnav system. In the absence of other information, you may need to seek the expertise of an automobile audio professional.
  14. I am perplexed as to why you have placed an infotainment/radio inquiry under the topic heading of Orlando Fault Codes. The current conversations are irrelevant to your topic query. There are ongoing debates about Infotainment in the Orlando Forum that may be beneficial to review in case your answer is already archived. Although you have mentioned your car model in your message, it is beneficial to include this information in the car specifics section, as well as your geographical location, in the appropriate fields during the Sign-Up procedure, which you left incomplete. The Forum system posits that your location may be Namibia. The next link will elucidate the functioning of the Forum and guide you in utilising the Advanced Search feature to investigate and peruse previous postings that may be beneficial to you.
