Re: Halfords Vs BMW Battery

You will need the AGM BATTERY AS IT NEEDS TO BE CODED INTO THE CAR AND REGISTERED WITH THE ECU, the ecu logs the battery replacement and alters current flow to the battery.

Without using a AGM and doing a reset you are askin for a world of pain later down the line.

Re: Whistling noise on acceleration / ccv ??

Mine does the same, sounds like a supercharger! Is it the same it hot and cold weather? Mine does it when the outside is below 20degrees, and you’ve just started engine. Also does it if you let engine cool a little and re start and set off. Only thing I can think it is is a dry bearing as it disappe...

BMW E70 3.0d whistle when cold

Hi all. I have today noticed a whistle when cold. Car is a 2009 E79 3.0d with 80k. It disappears about 10 seconds into driving or after the engine has been left 5 minutes to warm up. I’ve removed the air box just to gain access but you can hear the whistle. It doesnt make this sound at all when driv...

2009 rear camera gone green

Hi Just had the lady into the stealer today. Due to the reverse camera going green screen/black lines. They state the rear camera has gone faulty. They state it’s due to water ingress and not covered under warranty. Has anybody else suffered with this and if so what remedy did they find? A reverse c...

Re: Fault code 009C55

Hi
All sorted turned out to be the fog sensor which didn’t throw an error code.
Personal note, it has to be an e70 sensor as others do work but no correctley!

Fault code 009C55

Hi Does anyone know what a Carly fault code of 009C55 is? Carly is saying PTC Auxillary heaters. I don’t have the aux diesel heater so I can only assume this relates to the electric module in the heater matrix as is fitted to diesels. But a google search is showing the fog sensor? The wind screen do...

Re: Egr delete on remap?

You do realise a remap is just another way of manufactures trying to steal extra cash from buyers buy offering similar power models with the same spec don’t you?? For example Ford custom the whole range of 2.0 uses the same engine, injectors and setup just different maps... Vw transporter 84, 100, 1...

Re: Egr delete on remap?

Hi I don’t think you understand what a remap is. A car fitted with a working dpf has no sit at the rear end. Mine is completely clear. The egr delete stops the swirl flaps blocking up in the inlet manifold, making it last longer and a cleaner running engine. The remap is via quantum, not a generic m...

Re: Anybody tried EcoTune in Glasgow for a remap?

Hi

I had a Range Rover sport done by Stan Ward.

The engine threw 3 Conrods under full boost within 22 miles?!!


Make your own mind up.

I don’t know whom was to blame but cost me £6500 for a new short block!!

Egr delete on remap?

Hi All I’m having my E70 remapped soon via quantum tuning. They offer the EGR Delete option. There is no issue that I know of with my EGar but I’ve just had a brand new manifold fitted under warranty. Would anyone recommend I delete the EGR on the remap to stop the new new manifold blocking up? And ...

Remapping Advice.

Hi
I’m thinking of having my E70 2009 remapped
I have used quantum tuning before for mapping.

Does anybody know how this engine responds and if it’s a good idea?
