Negative, standard physique/mass The vehicle exhibits superior feel and handling at 39/31 psi, and the tires have an extended lifespan. Individual preferences will vary slightly among people.

Re: Tyre Pressures for E90

I maintain a tyre pressure of 31 psi in the front and 39 psi in the rear for both winter and summer wheels on a comparable vehicle. I often drive alone in the car, resulting in consistent longevity and uniform wear across all four tires, as well as even contact surface area. By ensuring accurate pre...

Re: Hazardous driving help!

As previously said, I have seen warnings during inclement weather, including heavy rain and dense fog; I just deactivate them, decrease my speed, and operate the vehicle in accordance with the prevailing circumstances.

Re: The air conditioning is inoperative, and the auxiliary fan is also nonfunctional. BMW X5 E53 3.0d

I conducted another test using INPA this time. Attempted to activate the e-blower on the DME without success; it is uncertain if this pertains to the auxiliary fan. I saw that the climate module has an option to reverse the compressor's deactivation. The ECU seems to have disabled the compressor, le...

Re: The air conditioning is inoperative, and the auxiliary fan is also nonfunctional. BMW X5 E53 3.0d

Thank you for your response. The leak and vacuum tests were entirely satisfactory. I attempted to manually engage the clutch using ISTA, but was unsuccessful; nevertheless, I did not do any more testing. There are no fault codes in ISTA pertaining to the auxiliary fan. Attempted to activate the fan ...

My air conditioning unit has ceased functioning. Recently, it occasionally ceased functioning, but now it has completely stopped operating. I suspected it was low on fuel, so I proceeded to recharge it. Nevertheless, it was unfeasible to complete it. It ceased at around 410 grams of gas, despite the...

Re: Is the battery depleting? Class C S205

I regret to learn that you could be experiencing difficulties. A few inquiries:

What prompted the purchase of a new battery two months ago?


2. Your phrasing in the previous message suggests that the stop/start function worked correctly until the battery was replaced; is that accurate?

My 64-plate E-Class used blue coolant.
