Re: Infrequent usage - is it typical to get a low battery warning?

Although it's unlikely that your 2016 Evoque will still be using the original battery, you can verify this by looking at the manufacturing date printed on the top of the battery. In all likelihood, it's time to get a new battery if it's not the original but is at least five years old. Since numerous...

Re: Please Help with the EGR Fault Code!

Glow plugs often fracture during removal. If operating a diesel particulate filter (DPF), functional glow plugs are essential for regeneration. However, if the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and DPF are deactivated, they are unnecessary. This may incur an additional cost of £500 to £1000 for cylind...

Re: Please Help with the EGR Fault Code!

The BMW DPF filter was quoted at £1650, the EGR valve at an additional £500 if available, although they lack sufficient stock for all recalled vehicles. The control module from BMW is priced at £57. Best of luck with the glow plugs. Diesel particulate filters (DPF) typically have a lifespan of appro...

Re: Hardwiring a Nextbase dash cam in a 2024 Sportage GT Line

The 422GW need to be equipped with a rechargeable battery that operates in parking mode, therefore preventing the depletion of the vehicle's 12V battery. If yours is not suitable, you may get one here.

Re: auxiliary battery failure

The open circuit voltage does not inherently signify a battery's quality. It is necessary to do a load test.

Re: 4 Series Cabriolets

My F33 has undergone the sill modification; nonetheless, it is prudent to monitor this closely, since the nearside is far more prone to water accumulation. The first indication of drain blockage is when the rear windows are lowered and raised, returning damp. It is quite simple to verify, particular...
