  1. When searching for a vehicle, always use Vcheck. It has been often referenced here and costs just £10, making it the most comprehensive check available. A substantial discussion on this issue started some years ago, highlighting that this check identifies aspects often overlooked by others.
  2. Thank you. I waited as the garage examined the leak, which lasted around 20 minutes. He said that he put Milton fluid through it, since I had noted that it also had an odor. I will promptly verify the dipstick. I received a text/email from BMW confirming my forthcoming appointment, which included an option to add 1 liter of oil and another item that I cannot recall, but I clicked 'no.'
  3. My last vehicle often indicated low fluid levels, however this one has not done so in five months. Consequently, I was concerned that the sensor could be malfunctioning, prompting me to contemplate filling up the fluid as a precaution. I do not recall the garage's actions when little fluid was emitted from the jets, resulting in it just cascading down the floor. I have not yet received the bill. I must have replenished it when I believed it was empty, and the garage may have done so as well, although that has only occurred twice since February. I was unaware that there was a dipstick, since I had thought it was only a sensor. Are you asserting that it has both?
  4. I have been examining the onboard computer to ascertain fluid levels, namely oil. I am experiencing an Auto Start/Stop problem, which I assume is caused by the Brake Vacuum Sensor. This prevents me from overcoming the mistake, thereby hindering my ability to navigate through the remaining content.When I long-press the BC button, it displays the error code, but that is the extent of my progress. I am certain that I successfully resolved the issue before, but I cannot recall the specific actions taken. However, I distinctly remember it indicating "Check Ok," implying that there were no problems. I believed I would still be able to verify everything. While viewing a YouTube video, the individual elevated the lever twice to see the Oil status. I will verify this tomorrow to see whether it allows me to proceed despite the current mistake. I have seen two distinct methods for accessing the checks: either by long-pressing the BC button or by use the up/down lever. Do you have any recommendations? I would want to verify the washer fluid level, which may require a physical inspection beneath the hood.The jets were obstructed shortly after the vehicle purchase, and I am uncertain if this was attributable to insufficient fluid leading to dirt infiltration, since I did not get any notification. Thank you
  5. Does the vendor own any documented proof of the servicing history, since it is not consistently recorded in iDrive? I would, however, anticipate some BMW submissions from when the vehicle was practically new and under warranty. Consider enquiring with a dealer for any historical records in the system. If you cannot get any proof via invoices or by consulting a dealer, I would recommend seeking an other vehicle.
  6. I have heard of service history vanishing from iDrive before, but it was attributed to someone using software to manipulate the past, if I recall correctly. Is it being sold by a private individual or a trader?
  7. I have activated the camera on the desk using a USB-C cable, and it seems to be functioning well. Compact and tidy, it should be positioned behind the rearview mirror for optimal discretion. I want to conceal the lead below the edge of the headliner, along the A-pillar behind the door seal, and into the fuse box located at the rear of the glove compartment. The event is scheduled for this weekend, depending upon favourable weather conditions, for the juke.

  9. I just purchased a 4K GPS camera from Aliexpress for my wife's Juke.
  10. I conducted my first test charge yesterday on my EV3 (GTS Midnight Black as well), and I can confirm that it performs well upon release from my possession. This is my second electric vehicle, and I am aware that there is a time constraint before the charging port relocks. I had a similar scenario with my first electric vehicle (eGolf) and practiced many times. I agree that it is preferable to refrain from activating the "Never Lock Cable." My one complaint is that it is necessary to open the bottom flap to charge the AC, which might allow water to enter if left overnight. In my eGolf, this is unnecessary for AC charging and is rather logical; while they have likely accommodated for this, it remains illogical. My charger is a Zappi. My locking and unlocking procedure resembles that of iooi; if I encounter any difficulties, I just lock or unlock the vehicle.
  11. Saw thus booked the vehicle in with him.
  12. All issues have been resolved (at last).
  13. What equipment is required for this, or is it exclusive to garages?
  14. Thanks. I wasn't sure whether cleaning truly helped, or if a replacement was the only choice. I'm going to try these folks http://banbury.dpfcentre.com/#dpfsolution
  15. I own a 2009 E350 CDi coupe with under 72,000 miles, which I acquired at a low price from a friend a few years ago. It is mostly used for short trips to the gym or grocery shopping, since I work from home. Not optimal for a diesel, I acknowledge. My engine light has begun to pop up with fault code 148a00, which my code reader states is "The number of times the regeneration of the diesel particulate filter was performed is too high". The 1st time I reset it, placed 2 bottles of Wynns DPF cleaning in the tank and then drove it down the freeway for 90 minutes. It was satisfactory for a month, but then it returned. I undertook a similar endeavour; however, the drive lasted just an hour, and now, a week later, the light has reactivated. Is this the DPF itself, or a sensor, and what are my options?
