Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
exactly how it is for me. still no eml or urea nor is the big red warning about emission control that appears when the ignition is turned. i cant see there being an adblu problem . plus i may have caused something without me following the correct procedure.Just fill the ad blue tank to the brim,It will possibly sort its life out then.My lad topped up his Skoda Karoq part way and the car wasn't happy so he filled it and the problem went away
I've yet to have any sort of Adblue message on my ML and have just added a gallon every now & then in the last 12 months/10000miles. I'm not able to get an Adblue tank level indication so haven't a clue what's in there.
What were the fault codes?i dont know the any of the fault codes. but my update i have spoken to a knowledgeable friend of mine & he too doesn,t buy the pump being at fault.
I don't buy the pump guess, it is a sad indication of just how little knowledge there is of these systems in the trade
Ouch! Well, you learn something new every day.the worx that i mentioned i have is not that bad, did my 2.2dti estate easily enough. though i did buy a bigger battery tho cannot remember having to use both batteries to wash my car.
TBH I had no idea they drew that much current!
this DS4 I have through up a warning about ad-blue needed a top-up & i immediatley topped up. however the urea warning remained .when i got home i looked up probable cause & the warning i got shows an orange light initially & although it needs an adblue top up i should get 900mls before its critical. if i ignore then a red warning light appears ,carry on ignoring & eventually the engine wont start,. the urea tank holds 17ltrs, but there is no way of knowing how much is in . i topped up initially with 1.5 ltrs then i had a 5ltr at home & put that in too. took it for a drive and after 2mls the urea warning went off . however the eml is on. saying all that the car is performing as it should so wonder if its just a matter of clearing the fault , .open to any words of wisdom , i havent a clue.
That may not be the only fault. Possibly that it needs a regen hence the sudden increase in adblue consumption.i do give it a good thrash now & then , what i omitted to say that may be relevant , when i booked it in for a dealership service they told me that the ds 4 were on recall because of a cat problem, but they cancelled because of covid so i used my local garage so,s i could get a service stamp.

Afternoon All.i was in the same predicament 2 yrs ago so bought a worx & found it ok ,did the job. i also purchased a more powerful battery for mine. earlier on this year did a hard standing at the front of the property i live in. so now have one of those self winding hose reels.
I'm looking to buy something like the Worx Hydroshot, as I don't have access to an outside tap where I live. Installing a tap is also not a possibility. It'll be fed by a 25Gallon drum which is kept in my van and topped up whenever I'm near a suitable tap.
It will solely be used to wash the cars/vans, and probably only two cars at a time, so it doesn't need to be Karcher K7 power. There is no intention of using it to clean patio's etc.
I have a massive compliment of Makita tools, and would more than likely use a battery adaptor to run it. I've got somewhere in the region of 15x5ah, 10x4ah and more than I can count of 3ah Makita batteries.
So what I want to know is, are they good enough to wash a car? Is it something I'll get enjoyment out of (I enjoy washing cars) or will it frustrate me and make me return to the local £15 a week car wash people?
Many Thanks.
So in another thread we mentioned the BMW straight six engine and in the strange and slightly scary way that the internet works this Top Gear article about BMW engines popped up on my Facebook feed.my first mig was a 2.5td & i bought it when it had just had its first mot & the garage i bought it from showed me some photos of racing powerboat it was all wood & he told me that it had two engines in it , same engine that was in the car id just bought. i half expected a boat to be amongst the 20.
Warning: A small passage within this article may cause offence to some and may be considered downright heretic by many!
Whoever did the service will have reset the interval via computer or code readerthats what i thought but wasnt too sure.
some BAD garage people
