  1. I own a 2008 BMW 1 Series E87. Generally, using regular fuel (E10) suffices; but, sometimes once or twice a month, I find it necessary to use premium fuel to prevent performance issues and avoid frustrating delays.
  2. The cam or crank position sensor often experiences failure only after reaching operating temperature. Do you have any codes available?
  3. I have successfully installed and configured Vagcom and Forscan on my Windows 7 Pro operating system. However, I am unsure why this particular issue is occurring. I received a response from them stating that they would investigate the matter tomorrow.
  4. I am uncertain about the meaning of your statement. Placed an order for a hose and am awaiting its arrival before proceeding with the Regen process.
  5. Apologies, the vehicle in question is a 2.0 diesel estate from the 2011 model year. Today, I received the Opcom delivery. However, I had difficulties throughout the installation process as it repeatedly displayed problems. Consequently, I have reached out to Opcom via email, seeking assistance. Despite its limited functionality, it successfully performs simple tasks such as scanning trouble codes. Upon seeing error code P2282-52, I proceeded to inspect the boost pipe as suggested. Although my visibility was limited, I saw significant moisture accumulation on the pipe. Consequently, I have placed an order for a replacement pipe and will assess its effectiveness once it arrives. I intended to instruct Opcom to do a force regeneration, but because it has not completely loaded, it is now preventing me from doing so. I will wait and observe the situation. Thank you one again
  6. Anticipating the arrival of a code reader, but wanted to inquire here first in case others have had a like problem. Operating a vehicle on the highway Approximately 2 days ago, while driving at a speed of around 70 miles per hour, I pressed the accelerator pedal to overtake another vehicle. However, I had a little delay in acceleration and the message "service vehicle soon" appeared. Despite this, the car eventually accelerated normally, although I did feel a tiny decrease in power. I continued driving home without encountering any more issues. Upon starting the automobile yesterday, the warning message "service vehicle soon" immediately appeared. Completed a brief trip without any issues. This morning, I started the vehicle without any warning signs. During my commute to work, which lasted around 30 minutes, I deliberately maintained a speed of 2800 rpm in third gear, as I believed that the automobile may benefit from a thorough cleaning. Throughout the journey, no caution indicators were shown. While driving home, I maintained a regular speed until I decided to accelerate and overtake another car at around 70 miles per hour in 6th gear. At that moment, I experienced a brief halt followed by the appearance of a warning message stating "service vehicle soon". Does anybody possess any notion about its nature? As previously said, I am now awaiting the arrival of the opcom code reader in order to do a more in-depth analysis. Thank you.
  7. I will be refurbishing my AMG wheels in the next weeks. However, I have noticed that the wheel nuts, which are made of chrome, have become rusty and rusted. What is the most effective method to restore them to their previous condition?
