Re: Periods Between Fluid Changes?

Much obliged. Thanks a ton. Please tell me what "brake DRF" means.

Additionally, I intend to upgrade my crossover pipes to OEM aluminum ones in the near future.

Periods Between Fluid Changes?

Thank you for reaching out. A 2021 Autobiography V8 SC with 26,000 miles on the odometer was just acquired by me. It has received 8 oil changes and all other necessary maintenance up to this point, all performed by the dealer. Upon purchase from the dealer, the oil and brake fluid were changed.

I ...

Re: The battery indicator is on, however

Once the new negative cable is installed, I will report the findings. Would the ECU simply assume the alternator is not under load and not need it to generate maximum voltage if I were to disconnect the sensor wire?

The battery indicator is on, however

The 3.3V6 alternator recently got a new one. While the engine is off, the battery voltage is 12.7. I acquired the car secondhand two years ago, thus the age of the battery is unknown. On idke, the engine voltage is 13.7 volts, and at highway speed, it rises to 14.2 volts. For some reason, clearing ...

Re: Has anyone managed to increase the top speed restriction on OCTA models and 20" spec V8s to 22"?

My friend just ordered a set of 20" rims with AT tires using the VIN from a dealer demo gravel-spec Octa. It went unnoticed.

Re: An Opel GT is envisioned by Chip Foose.

I don't like the hood, and his comment about the headlights shows he doesn't understand the "nuances" that make the HT so cool to many people. Anyone who knows how the air vents are run will know that putting side vents on the rear side of the front fenders won't work unless they're fake. Even ...

Re: My 535I still throws white smoke after a $7k repair. I need your help!

They suggested I get it checked out again to see if there was anything else wrong, but I'm not going back to them after paying such a steep fee. I also have code readers that I use. The dense white smoke indicates that it is still misfiring, which is completely absurd. The car is still acting up ...

My 535I still throws white smoke after a $7k repair. I need your help!

Please tell me how everyone is doing. Please tell me something. Lately, my vehicle has been emitting thick white smoke, driving rough, and experiencing severe vibrations. This is what I got when I went to the shop: a new battery, spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel injectors, radiator hose, thermostat ...
