Re: Problems with CHR products during manufacturing

In the eighteen months that I've owned the car, I've never experienced a problem with the windows, the stiff brake pedal twice, or the rear screen demisting.

Re: Intelligent speed assist systems fail to read road signs 25% of the time

I believe it was I who brought up the subject of the truck.

The hardware in my previous Volvo was from a previous generation, so it would detect truck speed limit signs—usually in kilometres per hour, but the 120 ones were fascinating.

The use of Google Kit, which includes their mapping, by the ...

Re: Scaga Om651 whirl flap

Re: Scaga Om651 whirl flap

In order to prevent others from delving too deeply into the om651 beast's guts, I wanted to demonstrate that it's not just mechanical on the swirl flaps.

I foresee the connector and its cables becoming a common source of failure due to their high level of vibration.

Model year 2014 F10 520d

When I start driving for around 5 minutes, I keep getting messages on iDrive like "parking break only partially available," "drivetrain fault" and "transmission fault," in that order. Plus, auto hold is just useless. But if I step out of the car for about fifteen minutes, the messages vanish and ...
