  1. As previously said, it seems to be connected to the transfer case. What is the make of the tires? Is everything from the same brand? What are the tread depths on each axle? Numerous factors must be taken into account, and the transmission requires servicing every 40,000 miles; the gearbox is similar, but it depends on driving habits.
  2. I acknowledge my laziness in inquiring, but could you maybe clarify the procedure for disabling speed warnings via voice, given that I have updated the update? Thank you.
  3. While uncertain about other markets, the Spyder Plus was available in the UK in 2017, since I own one registered in November of that year. There were also 2016 vehicles.
  4. I had the similar notion, but like you, I prefer not to complicate matters, and I know someone capable of doing such tasks.
  5. It is possible to do this with ISTA; however, I am uncertain about the efficacy of a scanner, such as a Snap-On or similar devices. It may be prudent to consult a garage.
  6. It seems to be a makeshift or substandard effort.
  7. Thank you for the messages. What obstacles must I address with the seat belt if it is incorporated into the seat?
  8. Greetings, gentlemen. Are the front seats from a BMW M4 F83 (2014-2020) compatible with a 4 Series F36 Gran Coupe? Thank you in advance.

    Key fob

    A friend is experiencing an issue with his key fob. When attempting to start the vehicle, the message "key fob not detected" appears. This problem is intermittent; however, when it occurs, he removes the start/stop button and inserts the key. I advised him to replace the key battery, which he has done, yet the issue persists. Does anyone have any insights?
  10. I presume the non-folding variants are aftermarket, and as they do not fold, they will not fit in the trunk.
  11. Task for the next week to facilitate your departure from the residence, humorously said. I wish you and your family all the best.
  12. No mirrors available for purchase; they have worn covers and lack glass. That was the outcome of my little investment last year, or even the year before.
  13. Indeed, you are accurate; I overlooked it (ageing is affecting my memory). That is rather peculiar, but it must be a pulley, if not the alternator itself. You should be able to feel the culprit rotating manually.
  14. Remove the belt, and you should identify the faulty pulley by manually rotating it. Experiencing a grinding sensation or a rumbling sound. The air conditioning system requires more rotation, hence increasing the load on the belt.
  15. You have no more comments; you disapprove of its transition and see it as substandard. Why remain discontent? Sell it and purchase the VW.
  16. Subsequently, sell it and purchase a VW Passat.
  17. Utilising a £25 OBD2 scanner, you may independently erase the error and consequently the Engine Management Light (EML). My device activates with the Nix sensor failure code around one year. I will cancel many times during the following week, after which it will be deactivated. I possess little to no confidence in the sensors really malfunctioning. I believe it is more likely a case of debris on the sensor that is finally dislodged, or the excessively stringent limitations programmed in the software being momentarily surpassed. The assertion that "the computer indicates a negative response" does not always imply that a replacement is required. It serves as a modest source of income for some individuals.
  18. I had the opportunity to operate the scanner, and with the engine cold, the autocom indicates an engine coolant temperature of 12°C. The air temperature today is around 14 degrees. I removed the sensor, which displayed -40°C, and the fan commenced operation. The issue vanished when reconnecting the sensor. No codes were registered prior to this, although a P0117 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor 1 Circuit Low was recorded.
  19. My autocom now connects only in EODB mode (another issue to resolve), but I believe I may see the coolant temperature there. I will verify it tomorrow once retrieving the laptop.
  20. To maybe address my inquiry, BMW Repair Guide states: A malfunctioning MINI R56 coolant temperature sensor may lead to many problems, such as a continuously running electric cooling fan, engine overheating, and/or a check engine light accompanied with sensor failure codes.
  21. If the circuit or sensor is defective, or if there is a problem with the ECU, the fan will not deactivate. I apologise for the multitude of enquiries. I am attempting to comprehend the situation with a restricted knowledge. Every day is an opportunity for learning.
  22. Does this indicate that the coolant temperature sensor is malfunctioning, despite the vehicle seeming to register temperatures, or is there a relay that deactivates the fan at lower temperatures? The temperature sensor was replaced in 2021. Do the new models activate the fan at a lower temperature?
  23. Operating the vehicle today to assess the temperature sensor. I saw it use the hidden menu diagnostics on the clock. Left the vehicle idle for around one hour and saw the temperature gradually rising. The temperature reached 103 degrees, and the fan activated. Temperature decreased to 71, and the fan remains operational. The vehicle was left idling, and the temperature began to rise again despite the fan operating. Upon reaching 90, I activated the heater at maximum capacity, and the temperature began to decrease. Returned to 68 degrees, and the fan remains operational. No coolant drops are visible, however the level was slightly reduced prior to my testing. The exhaust is unobstructed, with a little accumulation of water from idling. When I accelerate vigorously, I see a little water spray accompanied by white or grey smoke, which subsequently dissipates. Is this a defective temperature sensor or another component that regulates the fan's operation?
