  1. A participant in the new member sticky indicated that the engines are somewhat noisy and that what I am characterising as a "knock" is probably only a standard "tick". I am currently performing an ECM reset and relearn, will manually compute the mileage, and will apply a fuel system cleaning. I will respond with the results. Excellent suggestions, thank you!
  2. I utilised the vehicle's trip computer for monitoring miles per gallon. I have not engaged in traditional mathematics, but you are correct; I ought to do so. My scanner is rudimentary, but I am in the process of updating. It produces an unpleasant noise upon cold start, characterised by a rhythmic knock, possibly originating from a specific cylinder, and I believe I can detect a subtle rhythmic sound or knock during warm idle. However, I am unfamiliar with the vehicle and cannot ascertain if it is its typical sound. Ought I should publish or share a video? We have possessed it for merely 10 days; however, it appears to operate adequately, save from the knock, which may not necessarily be problematic. The driver's side visor detached, but it is easily repairable. 43,000 miles. Two proprietors. Delivered to the dealership for routine maintenance. No active or pending codes exist. Thank you for your response!
  3. We recently purchased a 2023 Camry XLE (4-cylinder, front-wheel drive), and the fuel efficiency is far lower than claimed. We are achieving 32 miles per gallon on the highway and 19-23 in urban driving, compared to the quoted figures of 27/38. I am really apprehensive on this matter, as the mileage and economy of the V6/SUV were primary factors in our decision to select a 4-cylinder front-wheel-drive model. The tires are little larger than specified (235/45 R19 instead of R18), but I have read that this should have a minimal impact on fuel efficiency. I possess mechanical aptitude and am aware of the necessity to inspect fundamental components (oil, air filter, MAF sensor, diagnostic codes, tyre pressure); no apparent faults are present. The dealer replaced the oil and installed new tires prior to the sale. All counsel is appreciated. I do not observe any fuel efficiency concerns about these vehicles when I conduct online research. I am concerned that we have purchased a defective product.
  4. Concur. The E30 M3 S14 engine emitted a cacophony reminiscent of loose tools under high rpm, which were necessary to provide any kind of performance; I would unequivocally favour a straight-six engine, but the E30 M3 is aesthetically pleasing.
  5. Affirmative, I own it. Functions effectively. It consists of three distinct components, which I choose since they are more manageable for removal
  6. Connect a scanner and verify for codes.

  8. Yesterday, I received the terms and conditions update when billing. One of the intriguing details was this, which I found rather fascinating.
  9. Hi Rob, Never heard of Calkill Transport before your post, but I’d be careful, lots of scam sites around lately. If the deal looks unreal, always double-check everything before sending a penny.
  10. I see that your car is an older diesel model; I am uncertain if diesel vehicles from that era included the gauge on display without iDrive. Regardless, I would not be very worried, since it is equipped with a dipstick that accurately indicates the fluid level.
  11. Lakeside has repurposed retail space into service and MOT bays.
