Re: Limescale on metal alloy?
When properly maintained—exercising caution while removing wheel nuts, attaching or detaching centre caps, and periodically cleaning and waxing or sealing—they remain in excellent condition (and, in my view, aesthetically superior). However, in many instances, a minor chip in the lacquer necessitate...

Re: 2014 F31 335D uneven acceleration
I do not foresee it as an issue, however I have addressed certain topics by replacing tires, among other solutions.

Re: 2014 F31 335D uneven acceleration
As previously mentioned, it appears to be related to the transfer case. What is the make of the tires? Is everything from the same brand? What are the tread depths on each axle? Numerous factors must be taken into account, and the gearbox requires servicing every 40,000 miles; the gearbox is similar...

Re: Replacement of 12V battery
I opted to heed the prudent advice and install a fresh battery. I selected a Yuasa YBX5063 because to its favourable pricing and guarantee, along with the reputation of the manufacturer. It is somewhat smaller than the original (less height) and somewhat lighter, but offering increased capacity (52A...

Re: Replacement of 12V battery
Thank you for the counsel. The battery has been recharged for 24 hours using a contemporary charger outside of the vehicle, and I am monitoring its performance; it may last for a longer duration. I am now aware that there are many viable alternatives for replacement when the time comes. Salutations.

Re: Replacement of 12V battery
A considerable number of alternatives are available. The variation seems to be within the capacity range of 45 to 54 Ah. Therefore, I conclude that all are appropriate. The increased capacity likely indicates enhanced resistance against battery depletion, a common issue with electric vehicles.

Replacement of 12V battery
Recently had minor electrical issues (intermittent radio and emergency calls), prompting me to consider replacing the 12v battery, which is approaching five years of age. Label: Rocket CMF 45L-DIN / 45Ah / CCA 410A / RC 80min. Verified online, and comparable replacements are accessible from the usua...

Re: Brake Fluid Level Remains at Minimum Despite Replenishment Efforts
A brake leak may completely deplete the system, however the clutch feed pipe is positioned somewhat higher, preventing a loss of braking functionality in the event of a clutch leak.

Re: Difficult commencement in the frigid morning.
I have been doing fault analysis and see 12.4 volts at the wire attached to the glow plug rail; however, there is no voltage present at the rail itself. The wire is effectively crimped to the rail, leading me to assume that the rail should be energised; yet, I am receiving no voltage reading from th...

Re: Difficult commencement in the frigid morning.
There are 230,000,000. Serviced every 10,000 miles and had a comprehensive service 4,000 miles ago. The filter in the tank was immaculate; I was really astonished by its cleanliness, therefore I do not believe that contaminated gasoline is the issue. The glow plugs have just been replaced, with thre...
