Re: Beeping sound following lock-in

Typically an indication that something isn't quite right—maybe it's not even locking—have you double-checked?

Have a look at the top, bottom, and all of the doors; does the dashboard display indicate that anything is open?

Just because a hybrid vehicle's battery can never be fully charged unless it's a plug-in HEV doesn't make it any less ridiculous. Incredible that car lots can (or at least believe they can) impose their will on buyers. As a result of many corporate service providers' newfound "customers are suc...

Re: 2012 Countryman ALL4

It is unlikely, however the fuel rail pressure sensor may be the culprit; my son has a 120d exhibiting the identical problem, and I suspect it utilises the same engine. This may seem imprudent, but attempt operating the vehicle with the traction control disabled. A recommendation indicated that it d...
