On my F36, the hardwire is connected to the positive terminal of the battery, while the negative is attached to the chassis in the boot. I connect the charger in the driveway once a week for about half a day; otherwise, due to my limited excursions, a new battery lasts just one year.

Ensure the jump point connection is secure.

If the issue arose after you had been driving it, it is plausible that it functioned properly following the component change. Was the ride height satisfactory upon your collection of the vehicle?
-
The effective functioning of the compressor has uncovered an additional problem. I suspect a malfunction with the solenoid or level sensor on the high side.

Regrettably, it was a 2.3 diesel. That was rather ironic, anticipating that some could presume it was the more potent version. The XR3. That is self-evident. The SAAB 3 Litre V6 was undoubtedly the finest automobile I have ever had; yet, it had to be relinquished due to the corrosion of the power steering pipes at 11 years of age, which resulted in fluid dispersion throughout the engine compartment. The cost to rectify the issue would have exceeded double the vehicle's worth. Ford Mondeo. The name encapsulates the essence. Volvo V50. This was the LUX variant (highest specification). This was 11 years more recent than the SAAB, although it was inferior in comparison. I selected the EV3 mostly because of its mileage, warranty, and delivery prior to April. After doing a test drive, I concluded that I had finally discovered a vehicle capable of rivalling the SAAB.

The spouse's vehicle has both of these features: The high and low beam is permanently disabled since it continuously alternates between dip and main. The lane departure system is deactivated while not on primary roadways due to its excessive sensitivity. Attempting to activate or deactivate them while driving is perilous, since it necessitates engaging with the dashboard screen and navigating through around four or five menus. Can they be easily activated or deactivated on the EV3?

As already said. Advice If you want to retain the vehicle long-term, get a BMW-specific scanner; it will be beneficial and save you considerable expenses.

2011 E350 attempting to engage park when in motion at a low speed.

My vehicle is a 2015 S212, which has the capability of self-parking; however, my previous 20120 S212 lacked this technology. -
Do you believe a tank and cap acquired directly from BMW? Are the aluminium options effective, or should they be avoided?
-
The first occurrence occurred when I was stopped, and today it happened during very slow traffic; so, I can only infer that it occurs while idling. It is conceivable that the fan is malfunctioning (I have tested it and confirmed that the fuse is operational) or that the thermostat is defective.
-
I conducted the test, which yielded a negative result for HGF; but, when opening the bonnet, I discovered that the cap was missing, likely dislodged by the pressure. Is the pressure causing the caps to dislodge for any reason?
-
I will conduct a test.
-
I am aware that it is located near the thermostat. I do not exhibit any apparent indications of HGF or thermostat malfunction. Temperatures are OK; heaters function as anticipated. No smoke from the exhaust; oil is crystal clean; vehicle operates smoothly. I plan to replace the valve cover gasket during Christmas, as it appears to be deteriorating and likely has never been replaced (evidenced by some severely rusted bolts). Is there anything I can visually inspect while performing this task, given that I lack testing equipment? If I cannot identify any issues, it will necessitate a visit to the garage. Any suggestions? This one has me perplexed.

I purchased a 2008 Mini Cooper S in August. I immediately saw that the coolant was depleting, so I purchased a new tank from Febi Bilstein. For a few months, everything was satisfactory; levels were monitored biweekly. I was waiting for a buddy with the vehicle idling when an excessive amount of steam emanated from the hood. Upon inspection, I discovered the tank was empty and the cap had been detached. Upon inspection, the metal valve was misaligned; I purchased a new cap that is far more robust and well-constructed. It is hoped that the issue lies with the cap; nevertheless, there is a suspicion of a leak, despite the absence of coolant. Nonetheless, there are indications of dried coolant stains present:

Thank you for your response. Originals seem to be accessible from BMW for around £250 for the pair; but, if RealOEM is accurate, they would be incompatible with my vehicle. Even if I procured new ones, I would still need new seals for the gearbox end, which is the primary focus of the discussion.
-
Today, when inspecting under the vehicle, I saw that the oil lines from the gearbox to the cooler radiator exhibit significant corrosion. I cleaned and painted them years ago, but they need attention once again. Preserving them would be advantageous, since their replacement is somewhat costly. I would want to detach them off the vehicle, remove rust, apply paint, and then reattach them. This entails changing the seals for the pipes connected to the gearbox. The issue is as follows. RealOEM indicates that both pipes connect to the gearbox with a union and an O-ring; nevertheless, in my gearbox, one pipe connects with a union while the other uses a big banjo bolt. Is the incorrect gearbox installed? UPDATE: I appreciate the responses from everybody. The issue has been resolved, courtesy to my esteemed buddy Kamil at BMW Huddersfield. The RealOEM design is generic and inaccurate, although the component numbers for the pipes are right. The banjo bolt and seals for BMW are only obtainable as part of the full pipe, which remains accessible from Germany for around £130.

Three compelling reasons: I am not an extreme environmentalist, but I assert that everyone is entitled to clean air, particularly those of us with asthma, which we got due to Tony Blair's fixation on diesel fuel. Furthermore, it is unlawful.

16787 (P0403) - Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve (N18): Failure The EGR unit is known for its unpredictable failures; the revised component number is 03L 131 512 DQ (genuine VW only; aftermarket parts should not be used). On Monday, we installed a new driver's seat belt in an A3. Yesterday, the customer returned with the glovebox ajar due to a broken hinge and said that we had damaged it when replacing the seat belt on the other side of the vehicle. This exemplifies the concept of a "rogue customer" that the trade must endure. Can you envision how you or your spouse would have responded if the task had been completed on your behalf with this result? It occurs sporadically and is disheartening.

Inquiry about service plan purchase requirements in the UK
Inspirli replied to CrownChikk's topic in General
The individual who sold me my vehicle informed me that there were two plans: a national plan and a local plan. Each time I had the vehicle serviced, it required inspection. This sort of dissatisfaction is why I do not regret distancing myself from Mazda. The Cupra service package was £99 for two services, with no complications, and is applicable at any time, even for Seat vehicles. Following the second year, I am eligible to purchase a service package directly from Cupra. Cancelling my Mazda plan required extensive correspondence with many agencies to determine the responsible party for the plan. You should be able to get the £899 bargain from Mazda headquarters if the selling dealer erred, but I would not rely on Mazda being very accommodating. -
Thank you for your reply. Where can one verify that, please?
-
Thank you, I will attempt to do that👍👍.

Thank you for your answer. Could you please clarify whether you check the software version in the vehicle or via the PC updater? I inserted the model of my vehicle into the updater, and the My24 indicator illuminated, indicating that it is likely right. Is there a designated area where I may input the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?
-
Greetings, everyone. The vehicle in question is a Sportage GT-line S 1.6 Mild Hybrid with a 24 plate. The Kia Sat Nav updater App indicates the availability of a software update for my vehicle. My update is that I have a MyWay 24 system and a 64GB flash drive. I have attempted various methods to transfer downloads onto the portable drive, including connecting it directly to my computer. However, when I insert the flash drive into the USB port in my car, I consistently encounter the error message "Media files not available." Despite reformatting the drive to exFAT, which is capable of storing a larger amount of data, none of my attempts have been successful. I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions you may have. Thank you very much.

The maximum value of the VW Touran is £1000, whereas the GLC is priced at over £27,000. I am not purchasing the GLC via a financing arrangement. Typically, I pay for vehicle insurance in full upfront. However, if the rates are too exorbitant, I may choose to pay on a monthly basis or use a zero percent credit card. The lady prefers to purchase a Mercedes GLC or a BMW X3 instead of another Volkswagen.

The insurance payment she made in April/May this year amounted to £320.
