Re: Infrequent usage - is it typical to get a low battery warning?
Although it's unlikely that your 2016 Evoque will still be using the original battery, you can verify this by looking at the manufacturing date printed on the top of the battery. In all likelihood, it's time to get a new battery if it's not the original but is at least five years old. Since numerous...

Re: Minimal oil leaks
Occasionally, replacing it with a new one is the most prudent option, ensuring the absence of any cracks in the cover, thereby completing the task.

Re: Please Help with the EGR Fault Code!
Glow plugs often fracture during removal. If operating a diesel particulate filter (DPF), functional glow plugs are essential for regeneration. However, if the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and DPF are deactivated, they are unnecessary. This may incur an additional cost of £500 to £1000 for cylind...

Re: Please Help with the EGR Fault Code!
The BMW DPF filter was quoted at £1650, the EGR valve at an additional £500 if available, although they lack sufficient stock for all recalled vehicles. The control module from BMW is priced at £57. Best of luck with the glow plugs. Diesel particulate filters (DPF) typically have a lifespan of appro...

Re: Hardwiring a Nextbase dash cam in a 2024 Sportage GT Line
The 422GW need to be equipped with a rechargeable battery that operates in parking mode, therefore preventing the depletion of the vehicle's 12V battery. If yours is not suitable, you may get one here.

Re: auxiliary battery failure
The open circuit voltage does not inherently signify a battery's quality. It is necessary to do a load test.

Re: 4 Series Cabriolets
My F33 has undergone the sill modification; nonetheless, it is prudent to monitor this closely, since the nearside is far more prone to water accumulation. The first indication of drain blockage is when the rear windows are lowered and raised, returning damp. It is quite simple to verify, particular...

Re: Tire Pressure Indicator on Dashboard
I apologise for interjecting in this discussion, but I own an 18-month-old Stonic, and since I first inflated the tires and reset the TPMS, I have not had to add air to them at any point. I have not personally inspected the tires since then; before anybody criticises me, I have been complacently dep...
