  1. Is that the short line that I've drawn here connecting the bypass valve's vacuum actuator to the horn side of the valve?
  2. It seems like the engine is going straight onto boost, and I'm worried the bypass valve is stuck closed. The hoover connection might have been knocked off, so I should go see. It seems to be in line with it since I also received identical problem codes. Is it feasible to you?
  3. I see. Is it possible that it can take in air too easily? It will be interesting to see what the code reader shows, which I borrowed today.
  4. Last night I replaced the head gasket on my R52 Cooper S. The engine started up without a hitch, however it went into overdrive almost instantly (I neglected to check the engine rev limit). From what I can tell, it could be vacuum lines or low voltage levels; however, I have not been able to locate this specific issue on the forum; could you perhaps point me in the direction of a good starting point?
  5. It is quite costly, and I would surely like not to replace it a second time. I would like to ascertain the prices charged by other mainstream brand dealerships for the same service in 2026, regarding the claim of being 'very costly.'
  6. I have been examining the Z4M, and the annual tax amounts to almost £760.Disinclining me towards them; I will now examine the running costs of the Z3M, which amount to £360, the same as what I pay for my M4.
  7. I have contemplated acquiring one; the Indy I utilise has purchased one from a client, allowing me to see it closely, which has reignited my interest in obtaining one.The "clown shoe" shape is arguably one of the finest, although I believe I may have lost the opportunity, since costs have significantly escalated over the past five years.£40,000 for a quality item
  8. 40,000 miles is negligible for a contemporary automobile. I am uncertain whether this is a prevalent issue with Hyundai or Kia, but it deters me from purchasing a DCT. Perhaps it is the reason Ford and Stellantis have reverted to using torque converters. It will be intriguing to observe Kia's response to the original poster.
  9. It would likely depend on the actions taken. A Google search yields ambiguous results but suggests that any installed parts often possess their own guarantee, perhaps extending the warranty for that issue until May 2026 if the part was purchased separately. If a new gearbox control module (TCM) has been installed, one would anticipate a minimum one-year warranty, assuming it was purchased independently. However, if they merely reprogrammed it, you may have no recourse. I anticipate that iooi, the super admin, may arrive at some point, as he appears to possess extensive knowledge regarding warranty terms and may be aware if repairs are covered beyond the usual seven-year period. I believe this topic was addressed a few years prior, so consider conducting several searches on the forum using various terms to ascertain if any conclusive information emerges. If the gearbox has a method to assess the oil level, it is advisable to verify it, since insufficient oil in an automatic gearbox can result in the retention of gears due to inadequate pressure to activate the solenoid for gear shifting.
  10. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires on my 2019 E63S estate perform well, save for occasional skipping at low speeds on cold tires during winter. However, I also own a set of winter tires that I swap to when this issue becomes excessive.
  11. One or two experts are emerging who provide battery refurbishments at around half the cost of a new battery. Conduct a Google search to see whether there is one in your vicinity.
  12. The boot lid on my R129, which had strut assistance, was surprisingly hefty to lift.
  13. Refer to my preceding post.
  14. From the DVLA. Since 1977, all vehicles registered in the UK have been mandated to include a speedometer that can display speeds in both kilometres per hour (km/h) and miles per hour (mph).
