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.

Greetings, everyone. I am interested in purchasing a GLC 250d AMG Line Premium plus 67plate for my wife. I am now operating a Volkswagen Touran with a 2.0 litre engine that produces 140 brake horsepower. On insurance comparison websites, the most affordable option is priced at £1110. She is 45 years old and has had a valid driver's licence since 1998. The cost of Touran insurance is £320. I was not anticipating the insurance to be that costly. I may need to reassess and explore other options. Are there any other insurance firms that we might consider?

The Garnett gt25/60r is a turbo that is often used in low boost conversions. It offers respectable performance considering its budget.

Attach a turbocharger to it.

Functions well on my MY24 vehicle.

This is a somewhat widespread problem that affects several models. I have had issues with both the W212 and W213 E63 models.

Encountered a pop-up notification yesterday night and promptly travelled to Pennsylvania today to retrieve it. I have been searching for this almost same specification for about a year now. VIN #0003 of the 2025 model year. I am eagerly anticipating the completion of the break-in miles, but thus far, she is really enjoyable.

The monitoring of sexual activities is what made me reconsider my thoughts.

Thank you for this discussion. I have decided to refrain from making any future purchases from them. It is important to openly criticise companies that perform poorly.

Have you inspected the drain tubes located under the windscreen wipers? If obstructed, water will seep inside the cabin.

Keep the air conditioning system set to "auto" mode consistently, regardless of the season, whether it is summer or winter. Mercedes-Benz vehicles do not perform well on short journeys due to insufficient mileage to fully recharge the battery. Purchase a smart charger, such as the MX5 or a comparable model.

Have you conducted any tests on the viscous coupling? Although you said that it has a new transfer case,...

While browsing a recent auction at Manor Park Classics last weekend, I came across a Mercedes-Benz that was sold for £12,075, likely excluding additional fees. They also had many other intriguing Mercedes-Benz vehicles up for sale. https://auctions.manorparkclassics.com/auction/lot/lot-75---2004-mercedes-benz-cl-600/?lot=1440&so=0&st=&sto=0&au=17&ef=&et=&ic=False&sd=1&pp=48&pn=2&g=1
