  1. Indeed, they do not; otherwise, they would lack purpose. In a Diesel Particulate Filter, accumulated soot is incinerated during DPF regeneration, initiated when soot concentrations exceed permissible limits. This procedure involves elevating the exhaust gas temperature to about 500-600Β°C to transform the soot into minimal quantities of ash and gas. Soot remains contained if it is functioning correctly.
  2. The modified component pertained to the 2.0 Red Top Engine. The Estates were obviously manufactured; my grandfather had a bogie green model that succumbed to rust after five years.
  3. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/167802061576?_skw=cavalier+redtop&itmmeta=01K5VXP7P8PBAW96VYT2S9A6QR&hash=item2711c84308:g:scoAAeSwctBozRb2&itmprp=enc:AQAKAAAA0FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1ckJzFzAaKgrk86K9aXuP2SrBKOeKmwCEBqw+6/kcMw5EI+y563ikY1N5LXBNZefb9e2/MuX+4YV3hEyR5emxR3/pGfCrBKfDICEVmgaEraToXtxjBm93RWjJbmzvvvVw7pVkZ+eGAbYzVjkO1Hvrl9p0jZhZD+1Wv4uPUYd26N050J8VFtigZTcfSsDXtXAZka7fzNbI88bOygJBvGZMz5kbUx/Oty0Tb93Ko0GnH2aW3VxQgQpaOLZfmcpQqi+b0=|tkp:Bk9SR7D72P2uZg&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338181125&toolid=10001&customid=2518X1570512X1278f5a45538517d4105669ca6e073f7&subId2=15
  4. The dealership will provide a single spring, tailored to the VIN of your vehicle and unique to the installed extras of your individual automobile. It is often advisable to replace the rubber pad concurrently, given the little expense, while you are already engaged in the task. As previously said, it is often advisable to replace springs in pairs; however, if the failed spring is relatively fresh and its malfunction is attributed to an incident such as traversing a pothole, and the other spring is still in satisfactory condition, you may choose to replace just the defective spring. If the defective spring is under one year old and you possess a receipt, you may file a warranty claim, provided it was not damaged due to a pothole or similar circumstances. Regarding aftermarket options, I recommend Bilstein or another respected brand; however, please note that they are more generic and do not serve as precise replacements for your original springs. Consequently, it would be advisable to get a pair, since they are sometimes supplied only in pairs.
  5. Thank you very much; both options precisely align with the pricing provided by BMW, indicating they are suitable choices. Thank you once again.
  6. I attempted that, and they responded with this πŸ˜‚
  7. Thank you; I will attempt it immediately
  8. Greetings everyone, I want to replace the gearbox and differential oil in my 2015 B47 118D, manual 6-speed transmission. I want to ascertain the oils required for both. Thank you.
  9. Did you purchase it new? To the untrained eye, something appears somewhat improvised.
  10. You initiated it! 😁
  11. For your knowledge, there exists a poorly described function that is beneficial. If your vehicle is equipped with a Cruise Control button on the steering wheel (I have yet to encounter an EV3), accelerate to your desired speed and then push and hold the button to activate the Speed Limiter at that speed. In contrast to Cruise Control, the Speed Limiter remains engaged unless deactivated by a brief button push, paused, or the vehicle is turned off.
  12. If your vehicle resembles other Kias, there should be a steering wheel button that controls Lane Keep Assist and Lane Follow Assist, shown as a car between two lines.(perhaps left-hand buttons). Momentary push buttons Activating and deactivating Lane Follow Assist requires a simple toggle, whereas a prolonged push toggles Lane Keep Assist.
  13. Access Settings and go to Apps on your Android smartphone. Choose the KIA Connect application and its details. An [Update] option should be shown there.
  14. Indeed, it seems to be just Android. I verified my status after version 2.1.22, and it is absent.
  15. It resembles any automobile. If it has not been maintained, then go. Numerous options exist, making it easy to locate a suitable example. If there are aftermarket modifications, I would personally avoid it; but, it does not imply it is a poor vehicle or owner. Numerous modifications are made by enthusiasts who are passionate about their vehicles; yet, once altered, it becomes more difficult to evaluate them objectively.
  16. The 4 series has a broader chassis with a reduced centre of gravity. The 3 Series is more sportier; yet, it is considerably more forgiving, allowing me to navigate a turn at 60 mph, while the 1 Series we previously had would need a reduction to 45 or 50 mph. My mother has a 4 Series electric vehicle with remarkable acceleration. I personally see the rear vision as inadequate; yet, the vehicle is generally commendable.
  17. I replaced mine at 186,000 miles (2009 E90 320d), and it was at the threshold. I have completed an additional 20,000, although my use is diminishing since I mostly work from home. This is my second 3 Series, and I am extremely delighted with it. The first vehicle (2004) was a business automobile that I purchased upon my departure from the firm. I purchased the current vehicle when it was five years old, with 45,000 miles on the odometer. Examine the service intervals; many individuals adhere to condition-based maintenance but allow their vehicles to operate 1,000 to 2,000 miles above the recommended limits. If you want to retain it for an extended period, disregard the condition-based maintenance and do an oil change at a minimum of every 10,000 miles (I conduct mine every 6,000 miles).
  18. Examine the coolant level to see if a leak exists. I purchased a pressure tester, however the neck of the pressure cap on the Mini is deep. Unlike a radiator cap, the pressure tester was unable to exert sufficient pressure to effectively identify any leaks.
  19. Several films on this topic are available on YouTube, focussing on the bulkhead located to the right of the engine, as seen from the driver's seat.

    I have searched extensively for the power button on the radio. Is it really a matter of muting it with the steering wheel, or is there a dedicated on/off button?
  21. Hello, I am disassembling my engine to replace the head gasket due to coolant contamination in the oil. Discovered a freeze plug next to the timing chain? Is there anybody who can identify the origin of this?
  22. While there may not be a definitive answer, I have always ensured that I install software updates for both the engine electronic control unit (ECU) and the gearbox control unit (TCU) as they become available, with the exception of the 'Dieselgate' scandal. Brooklands, the dealer, invoiced me Β£60 for this particular service.
