  1. Despite the absence of a diagram or location, can this information assist you in determining its possible whereabouts?
  2. I discovered this information when inputting my vehicle identification number (VIN). https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=BS52-EUR-06-2000-E46-BMW-330Ci&diagId=36_0497
  3. I came up a previous discussion on this platform that dates back 17 years, about the position of the RDC control unit. One remark concurs with your statement, while another mentions the glove box, which, once again, is not very informative, given it is the first instance I have seen this assertion, and it is not corroborated anywhere. At this pace, I will need to inspect the trunk, glove compartment, backseat, and vicinity of the gasoline tank.
  4. It is possible that I have misidentified the component, since it is sometimes referred to as the "TPMS" or the "RDC". After entering my Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into RealOEM, the information is shown. https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=BS52-EUR-06-2000-E46-BMW-330Ci&diagId=36_0497
  5. Greetings, everyone. The tyre pressure warning light on my dashboard has been illuminated since I purchased my E46 330ci. It appears one minute after starting the car and remains visible for a few minutes before fading away. However, it randomly reappears while driving. The previous owners reportedly spent a significant amount of money attempting to resolve this issue, although I am unaware of the specifics or the exact amount spent. It is worth noting that the wheels are in good condition with ample tread on the Br Upon inspection at a nearby establishment, it was determined that the TPMS Module itself (without the sensors) was the source of the problem. The module was generating error signals for three of the wheels, despite the tire pressures being within the appropriate range. They said that the module's placement was in close proximity to the fuel tank and concluded that it was not worth the effort. After doing internet research, I found no videos, photographs, or schematics of the position. However, I came across an old post mentioning that the location is on the right side of the boot, under the liner. It is worth noting that accessing this region may not be straightforward. Therefore, I would really appreciate confirmation before investing my time. Is there any definitive evidence or visual documentation available that would enable me to do this task independently? Thank you for taking the time to read!

    Flakes of paint

    Prior to receiving my '22 desired automobile, I visited many dealerships to inspect their pre-owned vehicles. Additionally, I examined the paint quality of newer Mazda cars parked in Manhattan, where I reside. There are several chips, scratches, and other forms of damage. I had Paint Protection Film (PPF) placed on the hood, front side panels, and mirrors a few weeks after I received the vehicle. I am pleased that I did!
  7. It seems to be a characteristic of daughters, since both males did not have nearly as much stuff. She plans to bring her Alfa 147 since she believes it will be necessary.
  8. I will be retrieving our daughter from the university on Wednesday and I am curious as to whether I will need a vehicle of M class or E class to accommodate her belongings. She is using her own vehicle for transportation, while we are only providing the hauling service. However, there will be two adults, a baby, and overnight baggage accompanying us. Based on my inclination, I believe that the E class would emerge victorious. Since we have not yet sold the E class, it seems to be the most sensible option. Thank you in advance for any guidance or suggestions on this matter.
  9. How do I initiate contact with him in order to engage in a conversation? Due to my concerns about the possibility of my vehicle breaking down again, I have decided to rely on using a bus for my daily commute. The recurring issue that has been identified is a defect in the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), with the exception of last Saturday when the vehicle went into a reduced power mode and indicated a fault related to a brake light. It will display this information on my dashboard, but it won't provide any other details that might potentially lead to significant harm.
  10. Thank you for your assistance. However, I am now located in Maidstone, Kent, which is too far away from Plymouth. I am grateful for your help, but I am in need of someone who has knowledge regarding issues specific to Mini vehicles and offers fair pricing. Regrettably, the current pricing structure is exorbitantly pricey for even entering the premises.
  11. The vehicle has accumulated a mileage of 56,000 kilometres. Do you suspect that the regeneration process is not functioning correctly? Thank you
  12. Thank you. I considered the possibility of the injectors being the issue. However, wouldn't a diagnostic test reveal any signs of failure or malfunction in the injectors?
  13. I own a 2012 Cooper diesel automatic car that has been experiencing issues with the diesel particulate filter (DPF). The car has been stuttering while in neutral or first gear, indicating possible fuel-related problems. It broke down during Christmas, and the diagnostics pointed to a DPF issue. Interestingly, no warning lights have ever appeared. In an attempt to fix the problem, I had the DPF sensor replaced, along with a cleaner and static regeneration. However, two weeks later, the issue resurfaced. Surprisingly, when the car was put on diagnostic, no faults were recorded. The air mass is currently higher than what the car's specifications indicate, despite changing the MAP sensor. Recently, the car broke down again, entering limp mode and refusing to start. The AA (Automobile Association) put the car on a diagnostic machine, which once again identified a DPF fault, along with a rear brake light issue. The AA fixed the brake light, as electrical problems can sometimes negatively affect the car's performance. After the repair, the car started perfectly. However, I am now hesitant to drive it, fearing another breakdown. Is there someone available to provide assistance? Thank you
  14. Is there a method to do a test before changing it? Is it possible to put two wires in the connection to activate the blower motor?
  15. Is it permissible to use a voltmeter configured to measure voltage? Which wire should be designated as negative and which should be designated as positive?
  16. Therefore, I visually inspected and disconnected both plugs from the hedgehog resistor. There is no rust or visible signs of melting or damage. What is the further course of action, please?
  17. Regrettably, despite my efforts to observe instructional films on the location of the blower fan, I am unable to visually identify its whereabouts. Due to my inability to get a satisfactory photograph, I opted to record a little film, which unfortunately also falls short of being of high quality. What is lacking from my understanding?
  18. Is there an other method of diagnosing the issue without just replacing the component? Which option would you consider reliable as a replacement? The prices range from £15 to £50, and there are both used BMW components and aftermarket options available. What would be your preference?
  19. There are no recalls. Adding more aggravation, the bonnet refused to open. Successfully removed the kidney grill by exerting force and then pulled on the release cord. The door remained closed. Applied WD40 to the soaked material - no success. I successfully inserted a flathead screwdriver between the rubber seal and the bonnet hole, allowing me to open it without causing any harm. I am now drinking tea. I have applied more WD40 and will assess its performance at a later time. The next step is to reach the blower motor from the engine compartment, which seems to be a simpler task. If the motor begins functioning, it will indicate that the problem is in that area.
  20. Is there a current recall for the E87? I would appreciate it if BMW could address the issue.
  21. While waiting in a line, I see that all the indicators of the blower/air conditioning system are functioning, but the fan itself is not running. The most recent occurrence took place a few weeks ago, lasting just a few minutes before resolving spontaneously. What items can I verify? Thank you.
  22. I am now located in the North East, but I am grateful for your kind gift. Thank you. Does it imply that even a high-quality snap-on tool would not be able to detect it? it is what he used the previous time he performed the task for me, right? It is peculiar that the engine has difficult running, yet a simple action of stopping and starting it resolves the issue.
  23. I will purchase an inexpensive e-reader from Amazon. However, I will seek assistance from someone who has a high-quality e-reader to evaluate its performance. I did not consider the possibility that the cheap e-reader may not be of satisfactory quality.
