Re: 2008–2012 BMW 6 Series Control module

Unless the problem is solely with the screen, they won't work for you.

Re: W203: Possible causes of the rear main oil seal leak

No. By removing the tiny black plastic "inspection" covers from the bell housing's bottom, you can reach the torque converter, and you can typically identify the problem using a borescope or Mk1 human eyeball. Another uncommon problem with the M113 V8 is that there are core plugs in the ca...

Re: W203: Possible causes of the rear main oil seal leak

It's "normal"—a known weakness—and it's likely older than mileage on your vehicle. Mine was completed some time ago. Purchasing genuine MB parts—especially the plate with the seal already installed—rather than simply the seal alone is the only way to accomplish it correctly. You don't ment...

Re: GRE 3D G Waggon observed on the M40 today

Mikey's cycling behaviour indeed provokes others; although his aims may be commendable, his approach is fundamentally misguided.

He need instruction on the functioning of human cognition. I am not astonished that someone has expressed their hatred towards him.

Re: Heat pump?

I must express my lack of admiration for the heat pump. Upon reviewing the results regarding the enhanced efficiency of the heating system, I was disheartened by the significant reduction in range when the heating was on.

Re: Which manufacturer produces OE N47 intake manifolds for BMW?

Thank you.
