Re: Comparison between Cinch Servicing with Kwikfit, among others

For whatever reason, I was just now wondering if the local MB dealer (Marshalls) is also the Cinch store around here.

Re: Need a new timing chain for my BMW N57—can I pay for it in installments?

I would recommend going to a place where they have experience with the task, like a BMW expert. However, if you are close to Johnny, I would go there instead.

Re: Problems with the automatic wipers

A prismatic sensor is utilised instead of a camera.

Problems with the automatic wipers

On automatic mode, my CLK's wipers are acting up. On occasion, they function normally until they decide to act erratically; replacing the blades resolved this issue the last time it occurred. Since replacing the blades has not worked thus far, I am considering cleaning the screen thoroughly to see ...

Re: Tips for a pre-owned 330e touring

I was looking for other threads that addressed the same issue with the 330e battery and the maintenance costs.

Re: Windows that are slow and sticky

Give it a go. Plus, the driver's side window no longer lines up with the back window. When both are raised, there is a space. Curiously, it deviates from its intended position and is quite slack.

Windows that are slow and sticky

As a result of problems, I haven't been able to get behind the wheel of my 1997 C140 CL600 for a while.

I turned it on in the garage earlier and immediately saw that the windows are stuck and take an extremely long time to rise. Like my trimmer, they seem to have their own battery life and are ...

Re: Problem with the camera sensor on my 2015 LCI BMW 320D Sport 

I appreciate your response; I've been trying to figure this out for several nights now, and it's really driving me crazy. Like you said, it seems strange. I have a feeling that has previously been done because it runs pretty smoothly and only 172k. I'll have to get it tested.

Problem with the camera sensor on my 2015 LCI BMW 320D Sport 

Good day! I am the proud owner of a 2015 BMW 320D with the B47 engine.

I have the error code:


273C00 or p0340 - Signal or no signal from the camshaft sensor

The voltage reduces when magnetised, therefore I changed the cam sensor just in case. I tested it outside of the vehicle. I replaced the ...
