Salutations everyone,
I suffered minor frontal damage with my F11; the airbags didn't go off, but the pedestrian sensor on the bonnet did. After that, the car wouldn't start, respond slowly to the accelerator, and reverse practically never happened.


Only the bumper, cooling pack, bonnet, and one headlight were damaged; the Pyro fuse failed to detach.

Have you checked for error codes?
Try removing any potential obstacles and giving it another go.

Distinguished individuals,
After receiving the necessary parts today, I was able to bleed the cooling system, fill the engine with petrol and install the hood. I used the Carly scanner to scan it, and after deleting 27 codes, it was back to 169. Could someone please tell me where I can find the plug that connects to the rear of the left headlight? I was trying to install it when the right headlight was not working. Additionally, I made it home in the car, but it still hasn't accelerated properly. I think the intercooler pipes are leaking at the connection, since I had a hard time getting them to fit. When I press the accelerator, the power isn't there like it once was, and the RPMs go up to 3000, but the car still can't go any faster than that. Then the gearbox shifts, and it starts to accelerate again, but slowly.

It seems like you're making progress, and certainly, putting air into the pipes will not help.
It can't be far away, but I'm sorry, but I have no idea where the light plug is.

Dear everyone,
This morning, I rescanned with Carly and the following results were returned.


Problems with the Central Gateway 3
The following codes are associated with problems: 801C20, ZGM, CENTRAL FAULT MEMORY FULL, NO CONTROL UNIT FAULT, CD0429, Flexray, Line Fault on Path 5, CD042B, and so on.

It's possible that I changed the glow plugs a week before the accident, but one of them cracked and is still in place; I'll get a removal tool and fix it. The engine's 241A00 description says it's a preheating control unit engine or glow plug type.
27AB00 DESC : DDE CONTR UNIT INTERNAL (CYCLIC AUTHENTICATION) DATA-RECORD CHECK NOT OK 28CD00 DESC : LIN, MESSAGE. RADIATOR SHUTTER MISSING CAN BE CORRECT I DIDNT CONNECT IT AS THE SHUTTER IS STUCK ANYWAY

AC 801225 DESCR: Insufficient air pressure causes the air conditioner to deactivate; should I refill it?

There is a footwell module that is not initialising the power window passenger door. The driver module's left communication is failing.

The following information is provided by the integrated chassis module: D02D02: Signal fault actual braking torque wheel (ID: AVL BRTORQ WHL) - qualifier Error signal (actual braking torque wheel, ID: AVL BRTORQ WHL) D02D03: Signal fault actual braking torque wheel (ID: AVL BRTORQ WHL) - qualifier DSC module qualifier: Chanel

For example, D01B06 indicates that there is no message for the receiver ICM and the transmitter VDM/EDC regarding the following: proportion, rolling moment, stabilisation (35.0.2), D0193C indicates that there is no message for the predefined damper passive component (72.1.2), and D015A6 indicates that there is no message for the dynamic drive (ARS) (35.3.4).
