  1. I removed the 10mm nut from the terminal clamp, reattached the connection, and then replaced the nut.
  2. I have linked mine to the battery and have never had any issues. For eight years, I have connected the CTEK charger to one of my automobiles once a month during the weekend.
  3. Thank you for all the responses. I was also astonished that the engine could be so simply damaged. I was apprehensive about doing it, but I will ascertain the source of the noise. I may get a lift and remove the sump, since I have nothing to lose. It is possible that the sump has deformed, causing an object to make contact with it. I would have expected the garage to discern the source of the noise. This is its appearance:
  4. Greetings to everyone, I own a 2010 W204 250 CDI (OM651) equipped with a plastic oil sump. I recently had an oil leak from the sump gasket, therefore I attempted to tighten the sump nuts; however, I did not use a torque wrench, likely resulting in overtightening. Following the tightening, the leak ceased; nevertheless, the engine now produces a pronounced knocking or ticking noise that accelerates with the rpm. The oil level is enough; nevertheless, I am concerned that I may have compressed the gasket, perhaps causing fragments to dislodge and obstruct the oil collection. Perhaps the sump is distorted or improperly positioned? Alternatively, it may be a coincidence that the engine failed simultaneously. The garage I visited reported that a component had detached and penetrated the engine. The engine is likely irreparably damaged and requires replacement. I had only drove it a short distance, about two minutes to the garage. It is necessary to elevate the engine in order to extract the sump, hence I am uncertain about the appropriate course of action. Ought I to relinquish my efforts? Alternatively, get a lift and attempt to replace the sump and gasket.
  5. I have reviewed my list, and it is not present. Is your car a diesel, similar to mine? The screenshot may have originated from the application utilised on a fuel, albeit I am uncertain.
  6. As already said. The list is extensive, but the information will be included. I was searching for something the other day, and it took me a considerable amount of time; dyslexia does not assist me, unfortunately.
  7. It is remarkable to observe such a varied assortment of petrol and diesel engines present. Every individual possesses distinct preferences, which contributes to the vibrancy of the automotive community.
  8. Today, we are exploring the realm of BMW engines. What is your preference? Regardless of your preference for the classic resonance of a petrol engine or the formidable torque of a diesel, there is much to admire. The progression of BMW's engineering has yielded remarkable breakthroughs, with each generation presenting distinct allure and performance. I would appreciate your insights. Do you favour the nostalgia of vintage models, or do you favour the advanced technology of contemporary releases? Convey your experiences and perspectives, as this diversity enhances the vibrancy and allure of the BMW community. Your views may assist fellow fans and prospective consumers in finding their ideal fit.
  9. Negative. It has already sent sufficient marketing exaggerations and falsehoods. I resign.
  10. It is not. Seafoam was developed as a fuel stabiliser. If executed improperly, such a process may amass sufficient liquid in a cylinder to harm the engine.
  11. Best of luck. Engaging in such actions might result in more harm than benefit.
  12. The PCV system, which might be a source of oil if pooling occurs in the intake manifold, was not mentioned.
