I own an aftermarket screen that explains the absence of the CID; yet, ISTA indicates that the vehicle has lost contact with the DDE and EKPS. S0237: Communication with EKPS is not feasible. S0392: Communication with Engine Electronics is not possible. I needed to verify if the fuse linked to the DDE had blown in this wiring diagram.

Indeed, you are correct on ISTA. I have had the misfortune of my laptop battery failing simultaneously with my car's breakdown, necessitating the makeshift connection of four extension wires to power the laptop from my vehicle. I believe I am approaching the problem; I first believed I had discovered the solution, but I am no longer quite certain. ISTA's operations provided a more explicit understanding of the situation.

Greetings everyone, I am experiencing a problem with my F10 520d; it exhibits no cranking or starting. The only errors shown on the dashboard are: Drivetrain Stabilisation (DSC) malfunction Flat Tyre Monitor (FTM) malfunction (and some illumination deficiencies due to the use of LEDs) The vehicle fails to crank or start, while the ignition activates properly. I have conducted a scan of the vehicle, and the trouble codes are shown below. The problem occurred last week when I had a slow puncture fixed while the ignition was on. Following the installation of the tire, the vehicle began to misfire, accompanied by DSC, FTM, and battery malfunctions. After parking, the automobile failed to restart. I left it for a little while, and it resumed functioning without any issues. Over many days, the issue persisted, but I ultimately managed to start the vehicle by either rousing it from sleep mode or swiftly deactivating the DSC prior to driving. The last instance in which I successfully used it included jump-starting the vehicle. However, it then stalled while I was driving and has not begun since; I had to arrange for recovery to return home, since I was far from my residence, which necessitated the journey. I have attempted the following so far: Replaced the battery; nevertheless, it had no effect. Notably, my old battery had a value of 11-11.8v, perhaps indicating a parasitic drain. Disconnected the battery for 15 minutes; the device still did not start. Attempted to jump-start again; it is no longer effective. I replaced the aftermarket instrument cluster with the original, however it did not provide any improvement. Disassembled my aftermarket infotainment system; it yielded no improvement. I have attempted to reset the vehicle several times, but the drivetrain problem and FTM issue persist. Disconnected IBS sensor; the system remains unresponsive. My perspective: There may be a faulty ground connection, but I am uncertain where to begin troubleshooting. Any suggestions? The wheel sensor has malfunctioned after the tire repair, resulting in a series of complications. I have purchased the replacement component and am awaiting its arrival; it is the next item on my agenda for replacement. My DME may be nonfunctional. My IVM may be nonfunctional. Before investing further funds, does anybody have suggestions for effectively troubleshooting this issue?

Thank you for your response. I purchased the vehicle as an ex-demonstrator in March 2017, and its initial service occurred in March 2018, indicating it missed its first service in 2017. The salesman had assured me that it had been serviced prior to my acquisition, which presents the issue: either it was not serviced, or the service book was not stamped. However, considering I have consistently maintained the vehicle since my ownership and it has only accumulated 62,000 miles, is it truly necessary to perform an 80,000-mile service solely for the sake of maintaining the service record? I apologise for my verbosity, but I appreciate your response anyway.

Greetings Everyone, I regularly have my car serviced by Kia and recently brought it to a dealer for its annual service. The vehicle is 8 years old and has accumulated just over 62,000 miles. I had scheduled a 70,000-mile service, but Kia informed me that due to the car's age, it required an 80,000-mile service, which would cost nearly £500. I declined and opted for the 70,000-mile service, planning to address the comprehensive service next year. Do you believe this was the correct decision? Should I have opted for the larger and more costly option?

I have a Cavapoo and I adore him.💕

Observe the front wheels as they begin to collide at full lock during gradual turns in frigid conditions. An ineffective nox sensor is inconsequential. The GLC is really exceptional. Do not allow a faulty sensor to deter you. They traverse freeway distances with utmost comfort.

Hello - I own a 2014 W212 E350 and had the windscreen replaced a few years before. The insurers, Mercedes' proprietary insurance sponsored by Markerstudy, declined to install an OEM Mercedes-stamped windscreen, stating they would only do so for vehicles less than 12 months old. I acquired the insurance with the premise that they exclusively use authentic Mercedes components and authorised dealers, which left me quite displeased. The screen was calibrated and installed by auto glass at the Mercedes Brentford main dealership. The wipers were improperly aligned, necessitating a visit to my residence for rectification. In the process of this second repair, they broke the engine cover cowl in the engine bay which i thankfully saw and which, after 5 months, they replaced. I have seen that the screen frosts over inside the vehicle during the cooler nights of the year, leading me to question if the seals were properly installed. Perhaps I was only unfortunate, but if you go for aftermarket components, ensure that you meticulously inspect everything once completion. I trust this will be beneficial.

Have you examined the cold start relay?

The problem with the automobile I purchased was just that, and the sole drawback of the car on the provided link is its distance from my location.

Last year, I purchased a vehicle that was quite identical to the one I am referring to. It had a 64 plate, 60,000 miles on the odometer, a complete service history, and had been owned by two individuals. Unfortunately, the engine was in a state of disrepair. Invested around £5,000 on a used engine and other components, and received around £600 for selling spare parts such as the head, oil pump, and injectors. Ultimately, sold the automobile for £11,350. Also, there is a quick turnaround time of just 4 weeks. It is likely that there is excessive end play in the crankshaft and a damaged piston.

Do you have a hyperlink to that rasa? Last year, I purchased a 220i with a malfunctioning engine and managed to benefit from it.

I am experiencing the same issue with my just purchased 73 plate manual vehicle. Transforms a beautiful automobile into a source of annoyance and frustration. It is self-evident that after making 36 monthly installments, they will be able to reclaim it.

On Sunday afternoon, a group of individuals were intentionally taking their own lives by jumping in front of my automobile. I haven't seen this much in a long time. Varying climates undoubtedly exhibit varying degrees of insect populations. In California, they may be rather rare. After around thirty minutes in Florida and Alabama, the screen may become opaque, hindering visibility. One morning at the Talladega Speedway, I was met by a gate attendant who asked me, "How are you doing today?" Are you experiencing a software glitch or is there an issue with your computer screen? This serves as a vivid representation of the everyday challenges faced by drivers in such areas.

I am unable to recall the most recent occasion when I was required to engage in such task. It seems that they possess mutual access to evidence supporting the existence of No Claims Bonus (NCB), in my opinion.

Preferably San Diego. However, I would be willing to go to Los Angeles in order to join an exclusive driving club.

Greetings, Can you suggest any vehicle clubs or rally clubs in Southern California or groups of drivers that have a passion for driving?

I have consistently used Clear sight in both my previous and current models without exception. I first had a little sense of unfamiliarity upon acquiring it, but quickly adapted to it and now consider it an essential attribute that I would really regret losing if I were to switch to an other brand. No vibrations were seen, as you said, except when the mirror is used in 'normal' mode. Uncertain as to the reason for doing so.

Based on its appearance, the car you are referring to seems to be a first-generation Mini with the Tritec engine, which is considered to be of high quality. The components might potentially consist of: Timing chain guide. The timing chain cover has integrated webbing designed to secure the chain onto the bottom sprocket. The chain became detached when it became slack. What is the issue with the washer? This automobile previously had a malfunctioning chain. If the current situation is satisfactory, then you should be in a state of being acceptable or satisfactory. If not, at least in the UK, there is a large number of first-generation Minis being dismantled, making it inexpensive and simple to get a new engine.

I own a 2-post lift, which makes it convenient for elevating the vehicle and removing the wheels, arch liners, and accessing the underneath. I want to address this matter later today.
-
Thank you for your response, and it is a wise suggestion to test for a potential leak farther down the line to see whether there is one. It seems like I may need to remove the bumper. Expletive. Laughing out loud

Greetings, individuals. Seeking assistance and guidance... I just acquired my Gen1 v8, purchasing it in March. Prior to picking it up, I had Ricky from @REPerformance install a Quicksilver titanium valved exhaust on it. Affectionate possession. Recently, on my most recent travels, I saw that the valves were not functioning properly. I did not perceive any change in sound while driving, confirming that they were really not operating. Both key fobs are functioning well, as shown by the blue LED on the fobs illuminating and successfully relaying signals to the controller located in the engine bay. I am almost certain that the vehicle will start, since it is a cold start and the valves are open. (Very noisy) and then when the engine speed stabilises at approximately 800rpm everything seems to be okay, but I suspect that the valves are still in the open position. Depressing the button to close them has no result. I have removed the engine bay cover on the right-hand side (RHS) where the controller and solenoid are located. Upon pressing the fob to shut the valves, I can clearly hear a clicking sound, but there is no observable action taking place. The sound is pronounced in the vicinity of the controller and the solenoid. However, I am not really certain. Is the 'click' originating from the controller or the solenoid? They are in close proximity. I have visually inspected the vacuum lines that are visible on the upper side of the engine compartment. However, I have not yet investigated further behind the covers and rear bumper to see the function of the vacuum lines in relation to the exhaust valves. Where do people believe the issue originates? I believe it is necessary for me to remove the back bumper in order to inspect the lines underneath or inside the exhaust system and determine whether there is a problem. However, I would want to seek guidance on the specific aspects I should inspect prior to removing the rear bumper. Any guidance or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Create a comprehensive list of the specific characteristics that you really want and then proceed to compare them with the different specifications available. When making our selection, my wife specifically desired the panoramic roof, and the '4' option was far less expensive than the GTLS model (while still offering most of the features and amenities). I highly suggest the '4' specification! To have a successful negotiation, it is important to communicate your maximum limit to the salesperson and be prepared to disengage from the negotiation if necessary. They may come to the realisation that your offer is the most favourable option available to them. While purchasing our pre-owned 2017 Sportage, the Kia salesperson adamantly refused to engage in price negotiations. Instead, we discussed the trade-in value of our old and worn-out vehicle. It took some time, but eventually their offer became sufficiently generous for us to accept the transaction. Wishing you success!

This is the reason why I consistently detach the front part of them and remove the engine and gearbox, while leaving the subframe in its original position.
