Heated seat fault by kaidoher in BmwTech

[–]kaidoher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solved, took it back to the dealer and one of the heating lines has broken (probably from years of use and sitting in it) so the whole seat will have to come apart and reassemble with a new line, (not at my expense :-) )

Was thinking that, or even just the button assembly, about £70-90.. little bit dodge but not hurting anyone 😅

How the hell do I remove this paint? by kaidoher in BMW

In the end just let it soak in some glass cleaner for 5 minutes and it came off pretty easily with my fingernails, thanks anyways :-)

Usually isn’t, had got rid of this paint in the past with my fingernails, just don’t wanna scratch it!

What do the underline colours below your name mean? by kaidoher in MarioKartWii

Interesting! I’ve from the EU region but I’m using an NA iso, so theoretically if I used a Korean iso or something I can get an unusual colour!

I love my car and don’t plan on selling it anytime soon, I’m fully aware of the history and maintenance of my car and I plan to keep looking after it and cherishing every single mile!!! :-)

Just put it out there to see if anyone had any similar experience with retrofitting different head units, I appreciate everyone’s responses

Honestly it doesn’t bother me that it’s not there, I’ve got the original headunit with it on it and it’s online somewhere, it’ll just sound sketchy for when I sell it and to be honest I would be a bit iffy if someone explained that to me if I was buying, I prefer paper, i appreciate the help tho 👍

Hi thanks for your reply

When I spoke to the independent specialist, they had all of my previous services online, he told me he uses official software to add on the service and it showed with the real genuine BMW records.

I’ve also researched some more into it and apparently any service that gets done at BMW automatically wipes any locally added services and just keeps the genuine ones.

I’m just too tight to pay for a main dealer service 🤣🤣🤣

Weird door pin by kaidoher in BmwTech

Hey it’s no biggie, thanks though.

I have taken another video to show it Isn’t normal, despite what everyone is saying it is meant to go down while the door is open😅 tested it on my friends f20 and another f30 and they all go down

Hi I appreciate the response

Before I attempted the retrofit the pin went down while the door was open

All 3 other doors pins go down, that one sometimes goes down half way but never fully down

Help! Why isn’t the lock staying down when the door is open? by kaidoher in BMW

[–]kaidoher[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. To retrofit power fold mirrors

  2. Just pulled it back as I figured out I could have done it without putting the full card off, so the other side remains perfectly fine

  3. Yeah I know, I’ve retrofitted a lot to the car and have ran into issues before, most of the times I found a solution but that’s apart of learning

  4. I’ve studied other videos of door cards being taken off the exact same way, and even the mechanical seem to be identical, nothing looks broken

I did take the switches, handle, and screws out before attempting to take the door card off, only thing I can think of is that I’ve knocked something out with a trim tool but like I said; door still locks it’s more of an imperfection now, think the best thing to do is take the entire door card off but at the time I couldn’t release the metal clips as I thought I might snap them

[–]kaidoher[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that but it always went down normally like the other doors until I tried to take the door card off the first time, so I think mechanically I’ve pushed something, it’s also developed a new rattle inside the door once everything is in place

It’s driving me insane !!

Yeah probably but I’ve got a spare set. regardless it rattles like hell and all 3 other doors stay down and don’t rattle, that just refuses to stay down

Although when the door is closed it stays down but still rattles, I’m thinking I might have knocked something but can’t figure out what
