Thank you for your assistance. Bringing it to the dealership. After owning it for just 65 days, I need to investigate the cause of the engine emitting smoke and the occurrence of power failure.
-
Unfortunately, I am unable to scan the power failure notification since it is no longer displayed. I have marked the fracture or hole with a circle.

Upon starting the vehicle, a notification indicating a power breakdown on the roadside was received. Started and stopped the vehicle, and the message disappeared. After driving for 1 mile, I noticed a strong burning smell coming from the engine, so I decided to return home. I had already detected the same odour earlier in the day, but I attributed it to the recent construction of the new driveway on the street. I have seen a little fracture on an object, which is evident from the accompanying photographs.If anybody is able to provide assistance, it would be much appreciated. The vehicle is a 5 series with a 68 plate, specifically a 520d model with 38,000 kilometres on the odometer.

However, I do not exhibit any of the symptoms. The quality of the oil is satisfactory. Coolant: It is in satisfactory condition after being refilled. There is no presence of smoky exhaust. Malfunction: absent The automobile operates in the usual manner. That is the aspect that is causing me extreme frustration.

I am now using a universal kit that I have obtained from the online marketplace Amazon. The specific product may be found at the following URL: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07RS3N98V?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image I have also conducted a test on a Jaguar XE 2.0-liter petrol vehicle, and it performed well.

Approximately four months ago, I purchased a 2011 Cooper S 1.6T with 184 brake horsepower. As is my customary practice whenever I acquire a new vehicle, I promptly performed a comprehensive service, including an oil change, replacement of air and oil filters, and replenishment of coolant, among other necessary tasks. Everything was going well until last week when I went to inspect something in the engine compartment with a buddy and saw that the coolant levels were far below the minimum level. I refilled it once again, and everything seemed to be in order until I conducted a head gasket test as a precautionary measure to ensure that everything was functioning properly. The liquid in this RELD cylinder head gasket kit undergoes a rapid colour change from blue to green within a few seconds. Upon realising the situation, I felt a sense of urgency to replace the head gasket. After taking a moment to relax, I got into my vehicle and connected my OBD2 reader to monitor the temperatures as I went on a one-hour drive at high speeds on the highway.While on the way back, our vehicle encountered heavy traffic, prompting me to test its susceptibility to overheating. Witness the absence of anything! The temperature consistently remained within the range of 90 to 102 degrees Celsius. The next morning, I conducted the head gasket test once again, and once again, the liquid turned green within seconds. I am uncertain about my thoughts. Am I facing an issue or not? Apologies for the lengthy narrative, but I aimed to provide you with a comprehensive level of information.

I have scheduled an appointment with BMW on the earliest available date of 24/1/24. In the event that the problem does not pertain to EGR, it is likely that I will incur a substantial fee unless I want to bring my vehicle to an other automotive facility.

My location is Liverpool. What is the definition of "Worn big end"? I have directed a message to you over WhatsApp.
-
I do not possess expertise in cars. One potential scenario that comes to mind is a broken timing chain that is obstructing the oil pump. Uncertain about the permissibility of uploading a video on this platform.

The oil and filter were promptly replaced at the onset of engine noise. The onset of engine noise occurred shortly after the issuance of a red low oil pressure alert. The emergence of the red low oil pressure signal occurred some weeks subsequent to the orange low oil alert.
-
The oil and filter were replaced a few days ago due to the occurrence of engine noise. Consequently, there are no concerns about the oil filter and oil volume. I anticipate the absence of significant engine damage.

2016 520d f10 The issue began with an orange alert indicating "insufficient engine oil, replenish with 1 litre of oil." Adhered to the instructions and the notice vanished. Verified the oil level and found it to be satisfactory. After a few days, the orange alert reappeared, but the actual oil level was not seen to be low. I believed it was only a sensor malfunction. After a few days, I began receiving a red alert every morning indicating "low oil pressure". Additionally, my engine has begun emitting a ticking or ratting noise. I am very concerned about the potential severe damage to my engine. I contacted BMW for diagnostics and they informed me that my vehicle has a significant EGR recall, which may be attributed to a faulty EGR system. I would much welcome any insights from anyone who have had similar experiences to mine.

All responses are satisfactory. When the hybrid battery reaches 80% capacity, the app will display a warning by turning the battery indicator red and blinking. The engine will then begin discharging the battery to about 68-74%. Having a 50% battery state of charge is considered typical. You can only see it clearly while driving downhill for an extended period or when idling in the vehicle with the heater set to 22°C or higher. Hybrid batteries have a long lifespan of 10-15 years without any issues. Over time, the battery will gradually lose some of its capacity, shown by fast attaining full charge and discharging rapidly, particularly when using AC. Side effects include reduced acceleration despite a fully charged battery unless the accelerator pedal is forcefully pressed. Additionally, there is an increased frequency of engine drain cycles, which may be rather bothersome. As long as the cooling fan is clean, the battery keeps a regular charge, and has the ability to start the engine and drive the vehicle, there is no cause for concern. Continue driving until the vehicle stops running. This will be shown by many warnings on the dashboard.

I completely concur, I find it hard to operate a vehicle without wearing sunglasses, even when the weather is cloudy. I own sunglasses with a strong tint for bright days and sunglasses with a mild tint for overcast days.
-
That is very regrettable! Is there any assistance available? I have reached out to my optician to inquire about potential solutions for my prescription lenses. However, if you possess any profound insights or valuable knowledge, kindly share them. Wearing sunglasses, even when the sky is cloudy, is beneficial to me since I have a heightened sensitivity to light in general.

Could someone suggest a suitable pair of polarised glasses specifically designed for nighttime use to mitigate the glare caused by headlights? Alternatively, it might be referring to a specific procedure or modification performed on their eyeglasses. I often operate a vehicle while wearing contact lenses, however I am also capable of using glasses. Due to the very bright LED headlights of current vehicles and my astigmatism, I am actively seeking ways to avoid encountering them. this is not always feasible!

Out of all the items to economise on, they specifically chose to use superior adhesive. I suspect that they are using the same adhesive on the leather of the first generation doors as well.
