Re: covering the cost of autostart

In every way, I share your sentiments. In particular, the remote start feature's failure has been really frustrating, and I'm generally unhappy with the Mazda app. Like other BMW ploys, paying for this function is just a way to generate more money off of a trapped audience. My two main concerns with...

Re: The engine's differential pressure sensor is providing inaccurate data.

The person posting appears a bit agitated because he is experiencing automotive problems.
When their environment is optimal, DPFs function as intended. This is the problem!

Re: The engine's differential pressure sensor is providing inaccurate data.

I don't see why you would tell the automobile it has a new dpf when it is utilising the 400% blocked dpf.

Re: The engine's differential pressure sensor is providing inaccurate data.

Good luck if you bought a sensor on eBay for fifteen pounds. Firsthand knowledge of merc sensors... You're back to your old tricks if you buy fake. The gen merc sensor weighs 80 pounds. There is an error code that comes from a malfunctioning diff press sensor. The push sensor was accidentally moved ...

Re: The engine's differential pressure sensor is providing inaccurate data.

It is recommended that you direct compressed air into the pipe leading to the dpf and dpf cleaning.

There will be a sensor error if the sensor fails. It is not enough to simply remove the error code; you will also need to educate the sensor again using your diagnostics when you replace it.

After the upgrade, the car stopped creeping.

One of these was recently delivered to my vehicle. In any case, the automobile no longer "creeps"; I'm still confused about what it was about. Being in auto hold mode all the time is like that. The creeping, which facilitates low-speed handling, is gone, and I don't see how to get it back....

Re: G395 Air Conditioning Pressure/Temperature Sensor (00256)

You should be aware that a small amount of AC refrigerant will be released when you loosen the sensor. To avoid this loss, unscrew it as soon as possible after loosening it. The same principle applies when installing the new sensor; behind it, there is a self-sealing Schrader valve. Additionally, be...

Re: Wipers up front

Seems like you're looking for an answer regarding the car's wiper blades. This has not been an issue for me with my 69-plate D180. When everything is snug, the wiper arm won't fall off the spline, and there's no need to adjust it for typical use.

Re: Automotive lighting problem

Please deactivate that. It is not functioning effectively. I have sufficiently blinded numerous vehicles, hence it is now permanently deactivated.

2015 BMW 2 Series 220d

This is my third BMW and second convertible. I have owned numerous convertible cars throughout the years and have a strong affinity for BMW. The boot is unexpectedly becoming soggy. BMW replaced all seals about 2 years ago. Do you have any suggestions? I am considering acquiring a cover for it as we...
