If the issue reoccurs, carefully inspect the circuit boards within the relays. During the seven years I owned a 500SEL with the same engine, I found it beneficial to examine and potentially repair these circuit boards. In addition to the fuel pump relay, these vehicles also have an idle control relay. However, due to their age, it is advisable to open up all the relays and seek assistance from someone knowledgeable in electronics, such as myself with a degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, to perform this task if you are uncertain. Although new relays may be costly, the prolonged exposure of circuit boards to the conditions under a car's hood for 30 or 40 years can cause damage. Re-soldering, on the other hand, is a nearly cost-free solution that can provide significant benefits and avoid future malfunctions. Furthermore, it is important not to overlook basic components such as the fuses. The outdated continental-style fuses, also known as 'torpedo' fuses, commonly used in these cars tend to corrode at the ends. This corrosion can lead to poor electrical connections, even if the fuses themselves do not blow. It is highly recommended to replace all of these fuses, which can be done inexpensively at Halfords. Additionally, it is important to clean the mating surfaces inside the fusebox using a drill bit of suitable size. To avoid any risk of short-circuiting, remember to disconnect the battery before performing this task. Replacing all the fuses in your vehicle with new ones will cost you around ten pounds. This investment is highly recommended for long-term dependability. Make sure to determine the quantity of fuses needed for each colour and rating, since the fuses are color-coded based on their amp rating. You may see a significant improvement in the functionality of various automotive components after investing around an hour of your time and a little amount of money. I personally do this practice with every newly acquired (previously owned) vehicle, and it yields substantial benefits. Replace each fuse individually with one of the same colour and rating, or consult the table included in the fusebox lid for the exact amperage rating of each fuse. It is crucial to ensure that each fuse is replaced with the appropriate rating. Refer to the chart instead than relying on the contents of the fusebox, since a previous individual may have replaced a fuse with one that has an inappropriate value. It is incapable of causing any damage.

Yes, I own a rudimentary code reader that can only interpret codes when they are visibly displayed, assuming that comprehension is clear.

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.

Thank you. I will examine it.

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.

If you want to replace the head unit and use a CD changer, it is necessary to have the radio code.

Thank you. The subsequent inquiry is... Is there any specific explanation as to why the newer device would not function with the old CD changer? Refrain from expressing amusement...😄

I have successfully obtained a head unit from a vehicle that has undergone a facelift. Is coding required for mining? Thank you

Thank you for your kind feedback.

Thank you. Does the enhancement provide a significant and valuable upgrade?

Thank you. Do they connect directly using the current wiring harness?

Excuse my lack of knowledge, but what advantages can a face-lift radio offer?

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.
