  1. The oil typically measures around 4.6 on completely dry engines. It is possible to purchase this oil in 20-liter drums for approximately Β£60.
  2. The following link will provide you with the information you need. https://go.skimresources.com/?id=130832X1595941&isjs=1&jv=15.7.1&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mini2.com%2Fthreads%2Fr56-n12-engine-oil-is-mannol-any-good.373037%2F&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.autodoc.co.uk%2Fcar-parts%2Fengine-oil-12094%2Fmini%2Fmini%2Fmini-r56%2F19859-cooper%3Fsupplier%5B0%5D%3D100290&xs=1&xtz=-180&xuuid=42f40757a20d42e62e2e1027f6de04d1&cci=8f069f3b969c9edbc58e74213e04773f
  3. The brand is excellent. As a general guideline, if it is suitable for VAG PD engines with low SAPS (Sulfated Ash, Phosphorus, and Sulphur) content, it will function well. I personally only purchase oil from MPD over the counter, using my car's registration for identification. Since I primarily work with Mini vehicles, I buy a 45-gallon drum at a time. The oil I choose is a 5W-30 fully synthetic low SAPS oil, specifically designed for PD engines, which can withstand high shear rates, pressure, and temperatures.
  4. I am experiencing a similar scenario with my 2009 V8 vehicle. If more than 24 hours have passed since the last cold start, the engine will have a quite hard start for around 10 seconds. The vehicle will have a sensation of imminent failure during the first 2 or 3 seconds. The situation will fully resolve itself after a span of 10 seconds. Although I can plainly hear the misfire, I never get a code indicating a misfire. The issue seems to exacerbate as the duration since the last chilly start increases. I am preparing to do a carbon cleaning procedure this week, as I believe it may alleviate the issue. However, based on my study, I am guessing that it is typical for the V8 engine to exhibit this behaviour. Correction: I would like to add that my vehicle emits a distinct smell of petrol when it is started in chilly conditions. My spouse consistently expresses dissatisfaction with the unpleasant odour that permeates the garage πŸ˜‚. I never observe any emissions of smoke.
  5. A possible cause of the issue might be a reluctor ring generating erratic speed signals that confuse the sensor, resulting in consequential faults.
  6. The R8 body is made of aluminium, which means that paintless dent repair (PDR) is not a viable option. The bumper may be repainted, however the quarter panel will need replacement. If the cost is covered by insurance, it is an obvious and easy decision.
  7. Thank you everyone, I will examine the matter when I have more illumination. Successfully inspected the airbox and MAF (Mass Airflow) sensor, disassembled the airbox housing by removing two bolts, and began troubleshooting from that point. However, no apparent problems were seen in that area. Consequently, I reassembled the components, reset the error code, and proceeded to test the vehicle, but the issue persisted. I will examine the other sections at my earliest convenience.
  8. Greetings, Thank you, I will make an effort to examine those areas. If I need any information, I will return to this topic.
  9. Greetings, esteemed individuals. I previously had an e92 that remained operational until it reached a mileage of 160,000. The automobile I now own is a BMW 120d e82 m sport coup with an N47 engine. I like to do oil and air services on it every 7-9k miles. The vehicle has accumulated 108,000 miles and was purchased for 58,000 miles. Around one to two weeks ago, I began seeing the occurrence of a partially yellow engine management light and a decrease in engine power. I have observed that this issue often arises when the vehicle is started in the morning, particularly in the month of November. Typically, when I begin the engine, I allow it to idle in order to get a somewhat higher temperature. The idling noise is acceptable, but there is a slightly higher level of noise chatter than usual. With the N47 engine, it is still possible to hear some chain noise, which is generally considered normal. However, if the noise becomes more pronounced and aggressive, it may indicate a problem. I will be replacing the oil and filter on Saturday, which will result in the renewal of the previous oil service performed at about 97,000 miles to the current mileage of 108,000. Additionally, I will personally replace the air filter. I have examined and disconnected the MAF sensor, but it has not produced any MAF contact cleaning using a spray or other method. I am now beginning to inspect the pipes and other components. Can anybody provide insight into the potential causes of the engine management light illuminating in the mornings, which often resolves itself over the course of driving or reappears? I would highly appreciate any suggestions about the potential reason.
  10. Wishing for a speedy recovery before your vacation, avoid using the toboggan slope in Madeira.
  11. I purchased the kit from a vendor on this platform. Hopefully not deceived
  12. I am struggling to locate this component and identify the two specified firms.
  13. That is precisely the reason why I need this.
  14. Is there an Audi parts shop that sells the Emergency roadside kit? Attached image
  15. You may replace the V10 compressor without the need to remove the engine. The effort required is around 9-10 hours because to the extensive number of items that need to be removed.
  16. It is a commonly used component, therefore similar options may be bought from motor suppliers. If you don't plan to install it yourself, the labour expense is what makes it expensive.
  17. Why did she allow him to go on the vacation despite not trusting them? I see a tendency to disregard responsibility until an issue arises, at which point action is taken. It is a prevalent mentality among many parents to take for granted when others are caring for their children without charge, whether it is schools, scouting, or any other organisation. In the late 1970s, I was a Cub Scout leader, and there was one particular instance that exemplified this. A nine-year-old youngster from another troop in our neighbourhood was consistently engaging in risky behaviour and disregarding warnings from the leaders. They informed his parents that if he persisted with his disruptive behaviour, he would be expelled. The parents pleaded for him to stay, guaranteeing the squad that he would behave. After a few weeks, he hurried up to a pile of chairs, climbed them, and subsequently fell, resulting in a broken arm. The parents filed a lawsuit against the troop and were awarded a sum of money equal to the area's yearly budget. On another occasion, we went camping for the weekend without any problems. Upon our return to the troop hut at the scheduled hour, the majority of parents were already there, eagerly waiting for their children. Within five minutes of our arrival, all the lads save one had been picked up. After an hour, seven-year-old Johnny was still waiting to be picked up. I attempted to call his residence, but there was no response. It was before the era of cell phones, so there were no other means to reach his parents. He was naturally afraid that anything had befallen his parents. I decided to escort him to his residence, but no one was there. I was also concerned. I managed to get the address of another family member from him while he cried. Upon arrival, a lively party was underway, with Johnny's parents really enjoying themselves. It's a relief, despite not receiving any thanks. Upon inquiring about the absence of someone to pick up Johnny upon our arrival, I was informed that they were enjoying themselves and it was my responsibility to care for the children all weekend. That was my last year serving as a Cub Scout leader. My wife will be assisting in taking the Year 4 students to the Science Museum in London in a few weeks. I will need to remind her to monitor her group closely, not just for their benefit but for her own as well.
  18. Quite sorrowful. For both the boy's family and the Scout Association. Both will experience hardship. I am sceptical about a comment attributed to Ben's mother, which may have been misrepresented, a common occurrence in journalistic accounts.
  19. I have seen that the installation is secure, and I am aware that it can be achieved with certain runners and adjustments. I am not conceding defeat so easily, laughing out loud. Thank you, however.
  20. I have a set of pole position seats that I want to install in my Gen1 2008 car. I am looking for information on suitable seat runners. Thank you in advance.
  21. I only accumulate the receipts, but you really amass the autos πŸ˜„ Well done!
  22. Goodness gracious. Have you retained it for all these years? I believed that I was a person who excessively accumulates and keeps things, but now I see that my behaviour is not as extreme as I imagined.
