Re: Strange noise coming from the rear end of the F10 2013 LCI 530D Auto

I've discovered today that it occurs (when cold) while taking a right hand turn (not a right hand curve, but going right onto another road) - Doesn't appear to do it on a left turn (although I can't be 100%)

Thank you; I'll have a garage look at them. However, why would it go as soon as the vehicle warmed up?

Strange noise coming from the rear end of the F10 2013 LCI 530D Auto

Hello everyone, I own a 2013 F10 530D LCI Auto. A bizarre noise that sounds like it's coming from the rear end and is a kind of "thwock"-type banging noise started to develop yesterday, especially when you're travelling over even little bumps. Though not too loud, it is perceptible. Howeve...

Re: Depleted battery?

Possibly poor grounding.
The battery should have a voltage of 13 volts or more when the engine is operational.

Re: Is the radiator hose leaking?

Have you secured the hose clamp while the system was at its full operational temperature?

Re: Adaptive xenon headlights from 2014

My Proceed is also from 2014, thus I presume it is designed with the same logic; as previously said, they only oscillate left and right beyond walking speed. Additionally, be aware that they function just when the lights are set to 'Auto'; they do not activate when the headlights are manually config...

Re: My vehicle fails to start after the throttle body reset.

That will not facilitate airflow; nevertheless, it will not prevent initiation. There must be a significant amount of oil circulating through the turbo for it to be that detrimental. On my last ALFA, it was very clean; I installed a catch tank, and the EGR input was positioned beyond that valve.

Re: My vehicle fails to start after the throttle body reset.

Assuming it is the C220 CDI in your sidebar, it does not possess a throttle, similar to other CDI vehicles. The component resembling a throttle is an anti-shudder valve (also known as a shutdown valve), which remains mostly completely open throughout engine operation, but may partly close to assist ...
