  1. Repeatedly experiencing pain - that seemed very abundant to me. It is definitely worth seeking a repair service in your area.
  2. The thermal housing, rear link pipe utilising authentic BMW components, and OE Febi housing cost a total of Β£200. Additionally, it took 1 hour of effort to install and 30 minutes to bleed. If the FRM is not damaged by water, it may be reprogrammed. This service is available in the UK and likely also in the US. A reflash should cost less than Β£100 here.
  3. The S models are enjoyable vehicles, but they can also be temperamental. At 50,000 miles, components are likely to be worn out or near to failure due to high operating temperatures and fuel efficiency concerns, necessitating replacement: Timing chain - use a complete kit from Febi with vanos sprockets and guides. Vanos solenoids should be replaced with Pierburgs. Additionally, replace the oil filter housing gasket. Replace the sump gasket with Elring Dirko and thoroughly clean the sump. Also, replace the rocker cover gasket. Valve stem oil seals Rectangular rings should be used on the ends of camshafts, using only authentic BMW parts. Replace the piston rings with high-quality FAI rings after honing the bores, avoiding the use of inferior plastic oil control rings. HPFP gasket or even the pump itself; Replace rear coolant link pipe with authentic BMW part. Use genuine Febi thermostat housing. Possible replacement of oil pump, sprocket, and chain using Pierburg brand; Possible replacement of exhaust flexi pipe. Remove the cylinder head and clean or re-lap the valves. If the engine has been consuming oil and has damaged the catalytic converter, then replace both the catalytic converter and the NTK air-fuel ratio/oxygen sensor.
  4. My device works well about half of the time. My wife acquired a new Q3 and we had a similar situation with it.
  5. Some remarks suggest that you should definitely pass.
  6. They are currently accessible. Patience is required, since it may take a considerable amount of time, but eventually it will materialise. The vintage 129-key flip-out keyboard is unlikely to be replicable by independent key manufacturers. The DAS 3, which is the first electronic key, has the capability to perform the desired action. You will own a DAS2 on your 129.
  7. As per Mr. T's assertion, there is a scarcity of actions that can be undertaken... I have changed the brake pads on many occasions and even replaced the brake callipers once. In the absence of any calibration or adjustment to a starting point...
  8. Currently, I make an effort to refrain from driving at nighttime due to the many reasons stated by others. Driving my wife's Porsche is unfavourable, likely due to its low ground clearance. I am not fond of the concept of tinted night driving glasses, however I am very certain that I have seen them being shown in Boots Opticians on my visits.
  9. Ah! I do not often consider this perspective, since we do not have issues related to calcium accumulation in our region due to the presence of soft water.
  10. I had a same issue, but not with my SL, but with an E class. In contemporary times, a portion of the washer fluid tends to develop a thick, sticky consistency inside the tank, leading to the obstruction of the washer jets. To address this issue, it is advisable to detach the hoses and forcefully remove the blockage using either a hose or an air line. Additionally, it is recommended to replace the washer fluid as a precautionary measure. It is possible that the pump is obstructed, which may need cleaning. However, as you said, it is possible that the pump is just malfunctioning and nearing the end of its lifespan from the beginning. Apologies, I am unable to assist you with the buzzing issue. Undoubtedly, they are rather bothersome, aren't they?
  11. Revise the phrase "you send it by mail, they repair it..." Inaccurate predictive text 😞
  12. Actually, I am unable to go ahead without using the brake. The only time I can do so is when I am transitioning from reverse. πŸ‘πŸ‘
  13. I can engage ahead without pushing, but not reverse . It is essential to safeguard the gearbox while the vehicle is already in motion.
  14. The original poster did not mention anything, thus I took a cautious approach to increase my chances of success. I have been consistently engaged in this activity for an extended period of time.
  15. The battery seems to be completely discharged. on start the vehicle, just apply pressure on the brake pedal and turn the ignition key.
  16. They may just need time to stabilise; mine took several days to stabilise properly.
  17. Detach the headlight assembly. Apply wet and dry sandpaper with a grain range of 600 to 1200 to eliminate any discoloration. The abrasions and marks caused by the 1200 are inconsequential and will be filled with a coating substance. Purchase a 2K can of clear coat from Amazon, which offers durable UV protection and long-lasting performance. Cover the whole headlamp, leaving just the polycarbonate exposed. Apply 2 or 3 layers. The problem has been resolved for around the next decade.
  18. A few years ago, I acquired a Wahle stat for the C200 from Autodoc. Excellent product .... There are no issues... The pricing is also excellent. The one I removed was of same manufacture and kind.
