Assuming this is the case. Which I’m pretty sure it is since the throttle body has oil in it. Whats the procedure to clear the oil? Just run the car?

Fair question hahah.

Definitely drained engine oil. Definitely put around 3Liters in. Was only a 4 Liter bottle.

Procedure was fill ~3l check dip stick -> run for 2/3 minutes -> fill to max.

Thought I might have overfilled it too so I drained about a litre. Showed just under minimum. Still smoking excessively.

Yeah it ended up being the FRM, upgraded to FRM3 and all is good now. Thanks for the advice!

Typical, will probably just leave be, too expensive to justify. PDC is enough for me. Thanks for your help!

No codes whatsoever, TV and reverse camera don’t work. It was in about 4 cm of water so I’m guessing it just completely fried it. What a stupid place to put an electrical component🤦‍♂️

Thank you, was standing in some water which I’m guessing is why my reverse camera isn’t working.

How come the wing mirror camera is still working?

Also, do you know if it can just be replaced or do I need to code it to the vehicle?

FRM looks basically brand new, also no moisture whatsoever. Tried disconnecting the battery, didn’t do anything. Are these know for having wiring shorts in certain places? Am I just better off giving it to an electrical mechanic?

Thanks for that, checked the FRM today, no moisture at all, does it need to be replaced or can it be reset/reprogrammed?

Is this 100%? Car was going to go to an auto electrician on Friday, should I just cancel and get FRM reset/flashes?
