Re: BMW Drive Recorder

The BMW Eye is subpar and should not be regarded as a viable alternative for anyone. The video quality is inadequate, it lacks integration with iDrive, and ultimately, it is a budget configuration with an additional £200 charge merely for the branding. When evaluating the WOLFBOX g900 tripro, which ...

Re: What is the function of the DTC button?

It activates snow mode and engages "fun mode" based on the duration of the press.

Re: The 520d fails to start.

150 is a relatively low cranking speed; I would anticipate a range of 200-250, based upon battery condition. I believe that a 150 RPM crank will not produce sufficient fuel pressure for the injectors to activate. Real-time data is essential for assessing the prevailing pressures. What device was uti...

Re: The 520d fails to start.

It is necessary to examine live data to assess fuel pressure readings, engine RPM while cranking, and other parameters if no more codes are recorded.

The blanking kit will not rectify the EGR fault code, as blanking the EGR generates a code unless it is also remapped.

That is the engine breather, not the fuel tank ventilation.

You are seeking a compact solenoid with an inlet from the fuel tank and an outlet to the intake manifold.


Which engine is it?

Examine the purge valve on the engine; if air can be expelled via it when disconnected, it is defective.
