  1. All AJ engines use Havoline XLC (Dexcool) coolant.
  2. Do you see the prominent 110 kPa marking on your cap?Indeed, the system consistently experiences pressure upon warm-up, resulting in frequent cracking of expansion tanks. You resorted to extreme measures by applying head gasket sealer.Offer a prayer for your heater core. Remove all fluids, including the block drain cap, at this stage.
  3. This garage's assertion that you own front lowering links is entirely incorrect. The front suspension is lowered using either distinct springs or adjustable coilover springs. Did this garage install the unequal lowering springs on the front? If such is the case, I would propose that they have not been installed properly. These should be the installed springs. Article - H & R As previously said, adjusting the rear suspension accurately takes time; nevertheless, transitioning from sport to comfort and back to sport should restore the vehicle to its prior setting. This organisation seems to lack direction, to be frank. They are undoubtedly unaware that the front suspension lacks lowering links. The airmatic is only located in the back. I recommend avoiding this garage, minimising your losses, and scheduling a visit to Steve; a distance of 40 miles is manageable for good vehicle setup.
  4. If the rear has not lowered, more adjustments are necessary. If I recall correctly, the longer the connection, the lower it descends. Calibration requires a considerable amount of time to get the accurate drop.
  5. It is not advisable to pursue if you already own the decreasing connections, in my opinion. Additionally, £70 versus £213
  6. Automotive in Clevedon would be an excellent option for a local Mercedes expert.
  7. Consult realoem.com to ascertain BMW's specifications, then proceed with cross-referencing.
  8. That seems rather unfavourable; nonetheless, I find it difficult to accept that only tightening the sump bolts could result in such an outcome, regardless of the degree of tightness applied. I am not fond of coincidences; yet, it seems to be one to me. However, without a detailed examination and precise identification of the noise's source, it might be attributed to other factors.

  10. What is PAsoft? PASoft is an economical, fundamental, and user-friendly OBD2 reader designed for older BMW vehicles. The package includes the gadget, a cable, and a CD with the software. It is also available for internet download. It is simple to install and start, similar to any other MS Windows program. This will enable you to read and erase error codes, modify numerous settings inside each module, and access additional functionalities, including the ability to monitor live data. It is essential for every owner of a vintage BMW.
  11. They are quite simple to modify. They are a little device located under the seat that informs the computer of occupant presence, hence determining the activation of the corresponding airbags in the case of a collision. Should the signal be disrupted for any reason, it will manifest as an error inside the airbag module.
  12. I sought to update from halogen to xenon headlights, as the high beams were nonfunctional with halogens; hence, I anticipated that xenons would rectify the problem.
  13. I have previously encountered the same problem with the headlights; they were halogen, but I sought to upgrade to xenon. Even with the halogens, I was unable to utilise the high beams, and I do not have access to MB Star.
  14. The headlights and xenon bulbs are completely new; I doubt the issue lies with the bulbs, but I will certainly inspect the wiring.
