  1. Requesting a new coat of paint! Laugh out loud, flee. Consider this a cautionary notice.
  2. This is the issue. The lock you installed is not an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) product, but rather a poorly built Chinese imitation. As said before, I would always choose a used OEM item over low-quality Chinese alternatives.
  3. Apologies, you are correct. I inquired about my ability to perceive or comprehend when the automobile is in a dpf regeneration mode. Are there any more symptoms, apart from an elevated oil temperature, such as a decrease in power?
  4. Thank you, friend! During the process of regeneration, are additional symptoms, such as a decrease in power, perceptible?
  5. Indeed, my first impression aligns with yours - the symbol shown on the gauge has a striking resemblance to the iconic lamp associated with the character Aladdin. Thank you for your kind feedback.
  6. Greetings, everybody. What is the optimal temperature range for the functioning of a BMW X3 (year 2013) F25 3.0d with 258 horsepower? I saw the needle surpassing a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius. Is this considered typical or within the expected range of behaviour or circumstances? I would much appreciate receiving any technical material on the matter.

    Below, there is consistently an opening for access.
  8. Inspect the fluids in the drive line for any traces of metal residue, since this may provide valuable information on internal wear caused by bearing preloads and gear lash/clearance. Unforeseen events may occur, even while using fresh or rebuilt components. The front end is equipped with brass bushings on the axle stubs to maintain proper alignment of the CV joint. If these bushings are absent, the CV joint may become restricted and could lead to additional damaging consequences. Inspect the play at the ends of the flange.
  9. I have not seen electric Pas systems like the one you mentioned. The Corsa and Mito models do not use fluid in their Pas systems.
  10. There is no presence of fluid; instead, it is powered by electricity.
  11. I would recommend installing a straight pipe exhaust system at this time, since it is more cost-effective. However, please note that you will need the assistance of a cooperative MOT tester.
  12. I used the BimmerCode application, but, I did not come across that specific choice inside the programme. I own two black mambas and one brown mamba, both of which have similar lengths. The duration of pressing the brown mamba is somewhat less than that of the black mambas, but still longer than the doors.
  13. Avoid tampering with the pipes and their connections. It is best to leave things as they are and not attempt to improve the situation by tugging on them. This might lead to unfavourable consequences.
  14. Use a wire or brass brush to clean it, then apply a coating of Vactan or Kurust. Apply a coat of paint and have optimistic expectations. Alternatively, substitute it. PS. Take a brief inspection of your metal brake line pipes, particularly the ones that go out of sight over the rear subframe.
  15. I must express my disbelief, Mazda is now providing CX70 promotions on their official website, and just moments ago, I received a promotional email from Mazda asking me to experience a test drive of a PHEV.
  16. I found this review to be exceptional. Regrettably, it is my belief that the tester in question may have been either malfunctioning or lacking certain software upgrades. The automobile was quite difficult to operate.
  17. Could you please provide me with a quotation for white bucket seats?
  18. Are there white bucket chairs available?
  19. The appropriately sized cutter in my kit failed to make contact with the surface that needed to be cut. I had to remove the shoulder from the cutter by grinding it. I use a digital camera to examine the visage, aided by a flashlight, in order to assess the state of the face. Frequently, I have seen the presence of pitting when the image is magnified on the personal computer. Therefore, it is advisable to further trim and cleanse the image.
  20. intended without doing extensive independent testing study. Have any of them been subjected to testing in comparison with Mercedes' proprietary brand?
  21. I had a similar problem with my vehicle, where the whole rear section of the car would sag in the morning or after extended periods of parking. The technician said that they changed the rear "shock" (although it seemed to me that there could be a problem with both rear shocks). The issue has been resolved. Because the item is still covered by the guarantee, I did not incur any costs for it.
  22. Thank you for the replies, I have decided not to pursue it.
  23. Our new Niro will be often parked at a marina for 2-3 weeks at a period, leading to the deactivation of the connect services, requiring a hard reset of the head unit. I am not interested in using the phone-to-car communication feature, do not have remote parking, and will likely use Android Auto for navigation. Therefore, I am inclined to skip setting this up. Does the automobile get updates for anything other than navigation and maps?
