Thank you for your response. It seems that the garage where you work demonstrates exceptional attention to detail when it comes to handling autos. Well done! 👍 I am curious to know whatever kind of oil you use in them, since you did not specify this detail. 😃 Thank you once again

Thank you, yes. I have come across information suggesting that some individuals change their oil every 4,000 miles, however I find this frequency to be excessive. Is it OK to use Castrol Edge 5w30 "M" in the R56 Mini? The current version is C3 and the model number is LL04. Thank you.

Thank you once again. I have a short question: would a 4-liter bottle be sufficient if I use Castrol? Is the specified 4.2 litres referring to the capacity of a completely unused engine? Assume that 5 litres of a substance provides an additional amount for refills and other purposes.

Thank you for the prompt response, this is the material I was examining. The product is Mannol Energy 5W30 with a volume of 5 litres. https://amzn.eu/d/hr37GoF. If you could verify that it is OK, that would be much appreciated 🙂

Tonight, I will be acquiring a Cooper 1.6. However, my immediate priority is to do an oil and filter change. I am curious about the appropriate oil to use. I am now reading about the viscosity grade 5w30, but I would want to know whether there is a particular performance rating associated with it, such as ACEA A3, for example. I came saw a 5-liter bottle of Mannol on Amazon priced at £15. However, I am uncertain about the quality and reputation of this brand. Can you provide any insights? Thank you.

That is the reason I suggested that you should get one.

I did not want to do a full service on it, but rather to only inspect the oil level. To do so, you will need to purchase a dipstick and a new red cap.

I would check the level of oil in the gearbox.

When was the gearbox last maintained?

As I previously said, it is a frequently encountered issue. Now let's proceed with locating the source of the water leak. 👍

Are there any indications of water seepage in the trunk area?

Perhaps BCU is not the issue. We have not yet reached a definitive decision. Attempting to ascertain the causes. The EKA code is still undisclosed.

I am experiencing difficulties with the BCU (Body Control Unit), as the fob (keyless entry device) is unable to activate the immobilisation system of the D2 TD5. The first electronic key access (EKA) provided by the dealer is non-functional. Upon inspection of the BCU, I saw that the label indicates a reading of 145/11. Additionally, there is a delivery slip attached to the item, which contains the serial number and relevant information. The document is dated 2011. Based on the fact that my d2 is from 2001, I believe it had a BCU modification in the past and there is no available EKA information associated with it. I got a refurbished BCU to resolve the problem. The sticker on the new BCU indicates a code of 255/19. It is really intriguing whether it pertains to the date of production. For your information, the new bcu does not effectively address the issue.

Greetings, everyone. One side of the BCU has a white label that displays the component number and other relevant information. Additionally, there is a code 255/19. Does this imply that the year of production is 2019? Thank you in advance for your assistance...

When the sensor style changed, it transitioned to n47n.

In 2010, there was a transition to the smaller silver kind of sensor, therefore both styles of sensors might have been used at that time.

The banjo on the driver's side of the engine is located on the flange on the exhaust manifold, immediately above the joint with the turbo. Visible in this image

This is a typical issue caused by carbon blockage, resulting in unrealistic air mass to EGR codes. I have experience in installing pre-turbine pressure sensors. If the banjo is released, then you may thoroughly clean the pipe with a rod. If a cordless drill is used, an old bike brake Bowden cable may effectively transfer the carbon.

Issues related to the plausibility of air mass and errors in the exhaust pressure sensor, Essentially, it refers to the observation of a discrepancy between the intake of air and the pressure of the exhaust. There may be an air leak somewhere between the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor and the engine. It is advisable to inspect common areas such as the boost pipes, input to the turbo, and the breather hose. Additionally, ensure that the narrow steel tubing connecting the manifold to the pressure sensor is not obstructed. The vacuum sensor on the brake booster is designed for the stop-start system, therefore there is no need to be concerned about it.

I appreciate the information you provided. After completing this task, I restarted the system and the live services were restored. Do you have any insight on what may have caused them to cease functioning?

I have not performed a reset yet. Which reset was that? Is it possible to reset the Kia connect software in the car in order to refresh it, since I believe the problem is exclusive to my vehicle and not affecting a large number of cars. Upon reviewing my Kia Connect app, I discovered that the most recent connection to my automobile occurred on April 6th. I am uncertain as to the reason for its abrupt cessation.

Greetings, everyone. Is anybody else experiencing the same issue? Throughout the whole day, I have had a persistent unavailability of Kia linked services. There is no real-time navigation or route available. In addition, I have also examined the fuel stations and parking areas, but I have been unable to get any data from them as well. Will this be a matter to address directly with Kia? The Kia reception information is displaying the typical four bars indicating a strong signal, however there is no data connectivity. Appreciation is expressed for your kind gesture.

For the sake of future readers seeking clarification, it is worth noting that even after a period of two months, there has been no indication of any chassis warning or suspension issues.

Yesterday afternoon, I acquired a new relay and proceeded to install it. I am pleased to report that I have not had any instances of the body chassis warning or suspension descending since then. The duration of 24 hours seems to be much improved.

I retrieved the previous item, which had significant internal corrosion. I am able to shut the feed 12v, however the contact may not be sufficiently strong.
