Re: Automotive detailer or car valet in Leicester or Leicestershire?

KJS has good evaluations, however I have not used their services myself. Located at Barwell, so in Leicestershire rather than Leicester.

Re: Battery ambiguity

A 055 battery serves as a straight replacement for your existing battery (verify specifications prior to installation, since there are 054, 055, and 056 batteries of identical dimensions but varying specifications). If you want to upgrade to a better specification or AGM type battery, ensure it fits...

Re: The R56 operates well at first start but misfires after being stopped and restarted.

A sequence of assessments is necessary for this, including live data, dynamic components, and others. Are you experiencing issues with VANOS tracking the target? Are you losing oil via the seals, resulting in a mist affecting the target degrees?

Re: The R56 operates well at first start but misfires after being stopped and restarted.

If the engine ceases to misfire upon disconnecting a VANOS sensor, it is very probable that a valve seat problem exists. In the n12/16 engine, the inlet valve seats become loose when the engine reaches elevated temperatures. Disconnecting the VANOS sensor alters the valve operation from variable lif...

Re: Lag while use windshield washer fluid

Is the whole pipe heated? On which side did you install the valve? Regarding backflow, it will be inconsequential.

Re: Lag while use windshield washer fluid

Based on recollection, it ejects instantly with the second attempt, suggesting the fluid has not had sufficient time to recede; nonetheless, I should verify. Indeed, the absence of a delay constitutes a flawed design, irrespective of whether there is drainage or not.

Lag while use windshield washer fluid

Does anybody else experience a delay of one or two seconds before the screen wash is dispensed? This indicates that the wipers begin to spread any grime on the windshield. It seems that fluid is returning to the tank between utilizations. The non-return valve has either malfunctioned or was never in...
