  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.
  12. I concur with your assertions and initially harboured scepticism; nevertheless, everything corroborated. The service history is documented at a BMW dealership, and the mileage from the service records and MOTs aligns accurately. I also had the vehicle subjected to a professional inspection, including diagnostic assessments, all of which yielded satisfactory results. Thank you once again for the counsel.
  13. Greetings everyone, I need counsel. I just acquired a one-owner 2013 X6 30d Xdrive with only 13,000 miles, which has a complete service history, maintained every 1,000 miles. All documentation is in order. My concern is that when I accelerate, there is a lack of power for the first few thousand revolutions, after which all the power seems to surge simultaneously. Is this usual, since this is the first automatic automobile I have owned? I seem to be using more pressure on the accelerator to maintain turbo engagement, resulting in increased diesel consumption. may an ECU remap resolve this problem, and if so, which establishments in Northern Ireland may I approach? Thank you in advance.
  14. By use the bleed pump gadget I purchased above #3, I am essentially engaging in a futile effort. Do you believe the instrument will exert sufficient pressure on the system to activate the abs? Thank you, Bleakerje. As I said, my father performed one on an Opel Astra, which included an ABS replacement and a complete system re-bleed. I assume they are not all identical.
  15. What is the function of the diagnostic? Thank you

  18. Greetings, everyone. I hope everything is satisfactory. I am experiencing a headache accompanied with haemorrhaging. While driving, the rear passenger brake line (UK) ruptured. Secure the vehicle and spouse in a secure location inside an Aldi parking lot. The reservoir was almost devoid of water, exhibiting just a little trickle. I installed fresh DOT 4 fluid and a friend arrived with a vehicle trailer. Transported the vehicle to my sister's residence, rather than to my parents' house where we typically service all our automobiles. Repaired the pipe by cutting and joining it with copper. & Attempted to bleed. Reservoir full. The rear driver's bleed nipple is open, but no fluid has emerged after some time. Two men inflicted injury on me while I was on the pedal, and my father did so on my breast. Open foot on; close foot off. I attempted it perhaps five times without success. Inspected the back passenger area... same... no findings. We then operated the engine and repeated the procedure with two individuals... No results. My father has never failed to bleed brake fluid. He successfully replaced the ABS pump on a 2008 Opel Astra and bled the system effectively. He said that my system is filled with air. We attempted for around 2 to 3 hours; throughout that period, we performed the two-man procedure and sequentially opened each rear nipple for about 10 minutes. Nothing. Can you provide assistance with any ideas? I just purchased a tool but am awaiting its arrival. Similar to a pump bleeder. I will show you a photograph. Any suggestions, please. Thank you.
  19. If a basic scanner indicates a coolant temperature of -40°C, it signifies an open circuit, suggesting that either the sensor or the circuit is defective, or an external factor is adversely affecting the signal. A rapid assessment involves examining the temperatures in a cold state to see whether the reported measurement is believable (i.e., ambient). whether such is the case, disconnect the sensor and check whether it indicates -40°C. It will provide an indicator that the DME is receiving credible data.
  20. It is plausible that your drivetrain faults stemmed from the EGR problem rather than the gearbox. Your BMW dealer likely did not investigate the issue thoroughly, but rather formed an assumption based on the error messages they retrieved. While there is a possibility they are accurate, I assume that the most of us would estimate it to be below 50%. It is commendable that they successfully executed your recall; we only get biannual correspondence informing us that they do not anticipate the vehicle igniting. Clearly, I failed to push the Reply button after all.
