Re: The driver's window switch assembly was replaced.

I had to reset the upper and lower limit in my 2008 Honda Accord after replacing the driver's window switch unit. I wanted to make sure, so I enquired.

Re: The driver's window switch assembly was replaced.

Did anything else need to be removed? Example: the door panel?

Plus, why was it necessary to replace it? Were the upper and/or lower potions of the windows need to be reprogrammed?

Re: Keeping an M57 engine in good working order: what fuel is best?

It just needs servicing, but not at the "BMW intervals"; instead, change the oil and filter every 6,000 to 10,000 miles, or once a year.
Do the "lifetime" tasks that BWM fails to mention as being necessary. • Chain tensioner - Gearbox maintenance - differential oil, mileage-dependent
I take it there ...

Re: Query regarding scan tool

For what I'm after, BimmerLink looks to be the superior option; but, I'm not sure it will be compatible with my outdated Android 2017 device; I will verify.
Concerned about the security of bluetooth, I've always connected my Vlinker obd2 to my laptop to monitor my Fords.

Re: Query regarding scan tool

Apologies, I may have been a little too quick with the NT510. The prices at ISTA and otofix are a little too high for me. Something that can read/reset codes, register stuff like batteries, etc., is what I'm looking for.

Query regarding scan tool

I had heard that the Foxwell ScanTouch NT510 is incredibly sluggish while scanning, therefore I returned it back after purchasing it based on the positive ratings. Can anybody recommend a scan toll that doesn't take an eternity to scan?

I am thankful.

Two of the three will tell you that you can't buy it, just like mine did.

What is pentosin?

Will pentosin lose its efficacy as we get older? I was wondering if there was any use for a partially used tin that I discovered in my garage. I would say it's around three years old. Appreciative of input.
