Re: Taking off the engine cover

Indeed, three bolts with an allen head are required. The first two were simple; however, I encountered difficulty removing the cover after attempting to use a modified allen wrench to remove the aft bolt. I managed to elevate it to a level where I could reach the 1 and 2 coil packs and swap them out ...

Re: Taking off the engine cover

The hex bolts were merely ornamental, and the cover was fastened with rubber grommets, as I recall reading in another thread.

Taking off the engine cover

2013 328i. Because of a misfire in cylinder 1, I must investigate the coil packs. How can I take the cover off the engine? There are a lot of videos online, and some of them would have me take the cowl area apart in all sorts of ways. It was suggested in at least one post that I could remove the ...

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

The car becomes less stable at higher speeds due to the 20" rims' larger sidewall profile and the accompanying AT tires' lower speed rating, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's the limit. The vehicle's suspension should be set up according to the rolling stock it is designed to carry, as far as I'm ...

Re: Unusual vibration at 80 mph and missing label beneath the hood: 2022 RS3.

The owner's handbook was not sent to you? Are the wheels still on the vehicle? This can be due to a flat tire or an unevenly shaped wheel.

Re: Dosage injectors

Bosch part number, not injector code, that's what it is.

Re: Has anyone dealt with Sterco Transport? Is it a genuine company or a scam?

I had a look myself after seeing this thread and Sterco Transport seems to have been around for quite a while as a logistics business. Most of the reviews I found relate to freight transport and shipping rather than vehicle sales, but that's actually reassuring because it suggests they're an ...
