  1. Given the mileage over 300,000, it seems the cooling system has been significantly neglected, and it is probable that the whole system is rife with rust, similar to the valve that was replaced. It is probable that some of the minor passageways inside the radiator are already obstructed. It is prudent to consider your course of action when it encounters an issue beyond your ability to resolve, since that moment may arrive imminently.
  2. It may be attributable to several factors. Given that mileage, the gearbox may be experiencing slippage. Alternatively, an issue may be emerging inside the high-voltage battery pack. A fractured motor mount. Or water has collected in the fuel pipes. Or oil collecting in the intake manifold due to the PCV system. I recommend that you have a hybrid shop examine it.
  3. Greetings The decision is yours, and there is no assurance that all bearings will possess identical colour markings. You must get the appropriate colour code for each bearing position, namely for positions 9 and 10.
  4. Greetings The image illustrates that this crankshaft has four R's, necessitating the procurement of bearing shells marked in red for each of the four bearing blocks. (This serves as an illustration, since the engine is a V6.) Letters are also inscribed on the engine block.
  5. The engine block has letters that specify the required bearing shell for installation. One side of the crankshaft has letters that specify which bearing shell should be installed in the bearing block. The precise dimensions are not specified in the paperwork, hence only the bearing shells supplied by Audi for this engine may be installed.
  6. I now own a Honda Civic equipped with a spoiler that extends halfway down the back windscreen, hence I am used to limited rear visibility. Are there any topics I should avoid discussing? The gloss components I mentioned are likely the M-performance add-on, which I can get a plastic replica of for around £300, allowing me to install it independently.
  7. Thank you for your assistance; I do the most of the maintenance myself, therefore I have no concerns with the oil changes and such tasks. Upon further consideration, I find myself more inclined towards the 4 Series, since it offers superior value while maintaining comparable performance to the 3 Series. I am curious about the hybrid; does it use the same chassis as the 3 Series, given it seems smaller than the conventional model in photographs?
  8. Understood. Is it a task that must be completed, or can it be extended with a satisfactory service history?
  9. Thank you for the information. What is the approximate pricing for this?
  10. In truth, I engage in a combination of driving; my everyday trip to work involves traversing many crossroads along the motorway. What is the performance of diesel engines with greater mileage, namely in the range of 80,000 to 100,000 miles? I believe that such mileage is not very concerning in today's context.
  11. Greetings to everybody. I am seeking to get a 3 Series. After years of contemplation, I find the white vehicles with gloss black diffusers and spoilers to be exquisite. I believe these are optional additions. I am seeking a model from about 2017 or 2018, however I am uncertain about the engine specifications. I have seen both the hybrid and the 2.0 diesel; thus, my inquiry pertains to any disadvantages associated with either option and which would be the superior decision. The aspect that dissuades me from hybrid vehicles is the performance of the batteries and their longevity over time.
  12. Yes they will and the windscreen business will be allowed to do this. Installing these sorts of screens necessitates that the vehicles be transported to the depot rather than changed on-site.
  13. Where may I locate you? I urgently want your assistance. Thank you in advance!
  14. Greetings. I am now in New Zealand, and it has completed 80,000 km. Maintained every 10,000 km, operates on 98 octane fuel. Serviced 5,000 km ago, with spark plugs replaced concurrently. While warming up is beneficial, I maintain that it should not be performed in that manner. No codes available either.
  15. Greetings. I own a 2017 Cooper S R55. Upon initial ignition, the vehicle operates erratically, and when shifted into reverse or drive, it exhibits symptoms of fuel deprivation and often stalls. When activated and allowed to warm for 20-40 seconds, the engine's revolutions decrease to around 500-750, without stalling, and operates normally. There is no additional pausing at traffic signals; it occurs just during a cold start. I am perplexed by this. It operates flawlessly in every other respects. Any answer would be highly appreciated.

  17. Fortunately, my R230 SL500 does not come equipped with Stop/Start technology. Richard Hollins is a highly recommended individual in York. He has expertise in handling many SLs (service level agreements) for different activities. In fact, he successfully managed six SLs, including mine, when my alternator malfunctioned during my trip to York last year.
  18. It is possible that the new thermostat is defective. Is it an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) thermostat, since aftermarket ones may not necessarily meet the same quality standards. While I'm not asserting that anything is incorrect, I am attempting to eliminate potential problems. Even with the use of your scanner, you should have the capability to observe and analyse engine data. What is the current temperature of the engine? 112C is a somewhat regular occurrence.
  19. Based on my inference, it seems that your OBD reader belongs to the bottom tier category. It is possible that there are some BMW/Mini codes that are currently pending and have not been detected by your scanner. In my opinion, I believe this to be of little value.
  20. Indeed. Other relevant papers pertaining to the extraction of subframes include: Install a customised self-leveling sensor and replace the rear spring link arms. The amount is £643. The cost of replacing the brake lines on both sides is £562. The prices shown already include the value-added tax (VAT).
  21. This is not a question, but rather some information that I would want to share with the group. Today, my 2012 W212 E350 estate with 81,000 kilometres failed its MOT. Deteriorated subframe. Evidently, this issue is often seen on this particular model. MB Colchester informed me that they had already reached out to MB UK, who have granted authorisation to cover the cost. Clearly, it is important to address additional issues such as brake lines and rear spring link arms while the main issue is being resolved. MB Colchester has verified the integrity of all newly installed bolts, brackets, and other components. Although the amount is still substantial, it would have been far more if MB UK had not taken action. I have had the automobile for a duration of 9 years, and this is the first significant repair I have undertaken, except the air suspension. Therefore, I have no grounds for complaint.
