    There is certainly some power loss occurring, maybe due to a malfunctioning battery. It seems that you are experiencing the typical symptoms seen in CANbus cars when the battery fails. However, having two battery failures within a year is rather unusual. There seems to be something suspicious happening... :uncertain: A voltage of 12.43V is at the threshold for an AGM battery. Do you have the Recovery Mode activated on your CTEK charger? I own the MXS 5.0, which is capable of desulfating a battery. It is possible that your battery may need this process. Initially, I suggest attempting to use an other battery. Are you able to get one? In order to borrow for testing purposes, it is necessary to determine whether it resolves all the problems. Although you may know what has to be replaced, it is still important to uncover the underlying reasons. If there is no effect, you may disregard the battery and focus on the car itself. As you said, it could not be entering a state of sleep correctly. If you are unable to borrow one, purchasing one may still be a cost-effective option, since it will cost less than the time it takes for a diagnostic session, which often lasts less than an hour. It is possible to return the item the next day and get a complete refund, since it was ultimately deemed unnecessary. Given that you need a replacement for your AGM battery within a span of 3 years, I have reason to believe that the Security update is unrelated to this issue. Have you provided both sets of keys to them? The recent upgrade for MY20> vehicles included reprogramming the Body Control Module (BCM) to prevent unauthorised individuals from rewriting the BCM over the OBD2 connector, hence bypassing the need for keys to start the car. Subsequently, they initiate the vehicle by pressing the start button and proceed to drive away in your cherished possession. Currently, it seems to be functioning since the thieves have not yet been able to circumvent it. I have also received this update and have not yet seen any abnormalities. I strongly believe that I should pursue JLR to rectify the defect that was overlooked throughout the warranty period. As I said before, I suggest contacting JLR customer services instead of your dealership. The guarantee on the item (battery) is not the primary concern. The main issue is in the quality of the service performed, namely the diagnosis. The question is why did an AGM fail prematurely? They have been recognised for their assistance in unusual situations and have even exceeded expectations.

    The vehicle is classified as a "Mild Hybrid," however it is essential to have someone who is knowledgeable about and open to new technologies and has the complete diagnostic toolkit, ideally the pathfinder system. If a single failure occurs on a CANbus vehicle, it may result in a multitude of alarms and warnings, like a Christmas Tree. However, this does not necessarily indicate a genuine fault with any of those systems. The root cause may lie elsewhere, such as a problem with the power on the 12V bus. Is the battery being charged as an AGM? I am perplexed as to why you need a replacement earlier, which raises worries that there may have been some underlying issue that caused harm to the 12V batteries. It is possible that the DC-DC converter is also responsible for the issue. I am curious whether it has been malfunctioning for an extended period of time. An AGM 12V battery should provide a minimum of 5 years of service, and maybe longer if properly maintained. (Furthermore, could you kindly clarify the meaning of SOH in your first message?) If the battery was replaced by JLR within the last year, you may be eligible to have the dealership reexamine it, since they may have overlooked the underlying issue. Attempt to contact JLR's primary customer care line and observe the resulting response. Haynes Workshop Manuals are not readily available for current automobiles since manufacturers like to retain exclusive access to repair and service information. This practice complicates matters for individuals who wish to do these tasks independently. I have personally serviced Spock and have prepared a zip file including the Manuals and other relevant materials, including Part Numbers for all the service items. This file is available for you or anybody else who may find it helpful.

    The 48V battery pack and the DC-DC converter are located under the passenger seat. These vehicles do not have a starting motor since they are equipped with a Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) system. Instead, they utilise a Belt-Integrated starting Generator (BISG) that operates on a 48V system. The BISG may give additional power to help the vehicle accelerate. The illuminated Christmas tree you are receiving often suggests a malfunctioning 12V battery, either discharged or defective. However, in your situation, it seems that the DC-DC converter is not functioning correctly. This converter serves as the equivalent of an alternator and supplies power to the 12V circuits. Do you own a copy of the Workshop Manual? It is very valuable and offers extensive information on the different components and their functionalities. Is it possible to attempt the removal of a fuse in order to cut off power supply to the converter and then reset it?
  4. In my opinion, I do not believe that the rocker cover gasket is the cause of the issue. I have encountered a problem with my M135i where there is a distinct smell of burning oil, rather than petrol. Considering the relatively recent manufacturing year of your automobile, 2022, the potential cause of the issue you mentioned might be a leakage originating from the manifold or the junction point where the catalytic converter connects to the downpipe.
  5. I will attempt to get BMW components, but do you have any insights as to why the Carly OBD is indicating a potential malfunction with the Slip ring (Steering Angle sensor)?
  6. Indeed, I performed the task of cleaning them while I was replacing the sensors.
  7. Greetings, those who are interested in E36 vehicles. I am now experiencing a problem with the traction control and ABS lights on my right-hand drive 1998 318is coupe (UK specification) after replacing the sensors. I had hoped that this would resolve the issue. Despite my unsuccessful attempts, I connected my carly obd reader and it displayed the codes shown in the attached photographs. Is there someone available to assist me? Thank you
  8. I am ready to end the operation of a 2021 SVR that has travelled a distance of 27 km. I often get warnings concerning the reliability of RR and its unexpected breakdowns. I am keen to get your perspectives and firsthand accounts. I really like the SVR in terms of both its sound and look when compared to the GLE63. Nevertheless, I am concerned about the need of frequent visits to the service facility. Gratitude is extended to all those present.
  9. Perhaps the issue is with the crank damper pulley. Remove the auxiliary belt and temporarily operate the system to see whether the noise subsides.
  10. I feel the same way. There is a bridge nearby that has expansion joints. These joints used to cause my Landrovers to bounce. I have not driven my BMW over this bridge and do not plan to do so. Rural roads are mostly used by agricultural vehicles such as tractors.
  11. In my experience, wheel bearings often exhibit lateral and vertical movement. If your vehicle is simply moving laterally, I would recommend inspecting the ball joint and tie rods as a first step... Indeed, it is possible that it might serve as an early indication of a bearing issue. However, I suggest verifying the information provided above before drawing any conclusions. 😉
  12. For your information, we handle the repair of electroplates internally and reinstall them on the same day.
  13. I am currently located in the South West region. Are you dissatisfied with your automobile in general? I am uncertain if the issue lies with the absence of mechanics or technicians. My belief is that the technology is not yet sufficiently developed.
  14. The Sportage GTLine model of the year 2023. Oh my God... I am becoming frustrated with this automobile and the inadequate 'service' provided by the dealership to address these problems! The age of my automobile is less than one year. It has been in their workshop for a duration of one week in an attempt to identify the problem with the gear knob, which is now not engaging and thus preventing movement. The dealer was unable to identify any issues, but surprisingly, the problem has not recurred since they had the vehicle in their possession. Additional problems have arisen - my spouse operated the vehicle and adjusted the seat to the '2' position (I typically use the '1' position since it is my vehicle!). The next day, I reenter the vehicle and activate the preset 1 seat position, but there is no response. It is ineffective for both settings. In addition, the dashboard visuals underwent a transformation and the clock displayed a time that was one hour ahead. I brought it to the dealer, who observed all the flaws. Upon returning inside, I provide them with the registration number. However, there is no vehicle registered under my name with that particular registration number. Last year, I was registered as the owner of a white Sportage. However, owing to several unsolved issues, I returned it and obtained this Blue Sportage instead. As previously said, this blue vehicle has been physically present in their workplace, but it is not recorded in their computer system. Currently, I must endure a wait until May, after a holiday, before they can schedule a diagnostic appointment. What is the reason for the popularity of this model? Feeling remorseful about purchasing the item..... does anybody else have this sentiment???
  15. Recently, I underwent the process of purchasing a pre-owned SUV and separately selling my previous vehicle. One of the first inquiries after "has the car been involved in an accident" was "has the car been exposed to smoking?" It will certainly leave a visible impact on your automobile and decrease its overall worth.
  16. Repeatedly experiencing pain - that seemed very abundant to me. It is definitely worth seeking a repair service in your area.
  17. The thermal housing, rear link pipe utilising authentic BMW components, and OE Febi housing cost a total of £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 £100 here.
  18. 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.
