      @TheBimmerFixer 4 дні тому

      @keving8918 I would say it's because you don't have AUX but mine is working without it being plugged into the AUX socket so I think it connects through the Bluetooth on the display. Only thing I can think of is go through all the settings on the new display and the original screen on the new display. On the original screen you would usally set it to AUX but in your case I would select CD. Good luck 👍🏻

    If you turn the steering rack in until the 38mm nut is just protruding, the chance of bending the arm is lessened. You risk bending the arm with it fully extended and the nut is tight.

    I learned in some other places that draining is not necessary. 1. Replace the tank. 2. Top up the coolant missing. 3. Bleed. 4. Keep bleeding or start the engine. Remove the return line while constantly adding your water to prevent running out, until you see clean water coming out of the return line. 5. Repeat the same procedure as above , this time adding coolant. Done ! Hope it helps someone. Cheers !.

      If you are worried about stripping the torx, I find it easier if you spend some time with a good wire brush and some penetrating oil because years of rust and crud block the threads. I use Deblock, and after cleaning the threads, I give it an extra squirt and then have a cuppa to allow it to work. You can save yourself a lot of heartache this way, but admittedly, I have had to use an angle grinder on them a few times.

  • @dutchfpv7010
    @dutchfpv7010 Місяць тому

    Folks, the 100 year old method is to remove the nut and sleeve, then use nail polish right on the spot where the arm meets the threads. LET IT DRY, then unscrew the old arm then screw the new one back to the nail polish line. You'll feel the resistance from it when you hit the right spot. Measuring or counting turns won't be as accurate.

    Is it possible that I have the same problem on a BMW X1 F48? It only happens to me when I go forward from reverse and then lightly press the brake. After that, when I brake again, the sound is no longer heard. PLEASE HELP

      @TheBimmerFixer Місяць тому

      @dejtad Hi, yeah it can definitely happen! It probably happens more with the F series than the E series. If you do what I did in the video it should solve the problem.

      @hektorbenjamin Hi, Sounds like it could be a possible connection issue. Try unplug the Aux cable and try play music. I know it's an odd idea but I found it to work when disconnected and louder too.

      @hektorbenjamin Місяць тому

      I didn't use a soldering iron for the wires. I used special plastic connectors. is this a problem? the device works properly, but quietly. Is the problem after connecting the aux cables or the cigarette lighter?

    • @TheBimmerFixer
      @TheBimmerFixer Місяць тому

      @hektorbenjamin Sometimes those connectors can be a bit unreliable and not make a full concentration. I would try removing the connectors and twisted the wires together just to see if that makes a better connection.

    My refill tube broke after I took it to an oil change shop, and I've been having to refill it(and change the pump) often. I figured I just kept leaking, but didn't think that the sensor could be bad too. Definitely going to remember this video in case the replacement tube doesn't solve my problems.

    BUYER BEWARE - GREASY ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION - AUTO RENEWAL - NO NOTIFICATION I feel sad that I've had to write a negative review, but this company truly deserves it. I purchased a scanner and associated software app 1-year ago. The scanner was OK, I had a minor fault that I needed to diagnose, which it did. I cancelled the subscription on my phone app, but it turned out I also had concurrent subscription for another/parallel Carly App (THIS WAS NOT CLEAR), one direct to PayPal, the other through Google Play. The company asks to be informed 30-days before your renewal date to accept a cancellation. THEY DO NOT SEND A RENEWAL NOTIFICATION. I did cancel the contract (4-months before renewal, but it turns out this was for only one of the contracts). Then, I receive a notification that they've taken £60 for another years subs. I thought this would be simple to clear up, but their customer services team were less than helpful. They kept referring me to the T&Cs that I signed up to, and not acknowledging the fact that I (assumed) that I had cancelled the subscription (when someone tells you they're sorry to see you go, you kind of feel they did get the message). Anyway, they have told me I'm the one in the wrong, and it's tough luck (in so many words). This company is more than willing to damage it's reputation by treating existing customers unfairly. I am expecting to see a reply stating something along the lines of (our T&Cs were very clear at the time of signing up and are available on our website). Well, looking at the many complaints online, I think you may need to refine your messaging, because it isn't getting through to your most important asset, your customers.

      @erizemn6987 Hi there, thanks for being patient. Makes sense to go HP with your mileage. I would say try your best to get it to 9.9% or below. 9.9% is a very reasonable rate and is very standard in the motor trade. I don't think that would be unreasonable to ask for. Good luck and thank you for your support! 👍🏻
