Just renewed a load of mine because they were already pretty rusty.. no idea why. I went to BMW for mine, part num: 07149481168 (though these are the newer version, found on cars produced from 2024, so have a 10mm head instead of 8mm.)
I've used and can vouch for Gtechniq W9 Water Spot Remover, though it took a couple of applications for it to remove the hard water spots on mine. I've also been recommended CARPRO Spotless 2.0 Water Spot Remover. That said, I would have thought vinegar would have stripped it along with any...
That's seriously useful thank you! I will speak to a guy I know about the eSys update first then. If that doesn't work, I'll go down the ISTA route myself ๐๐ป๐๐ป
EDIT: I just wanna thank everyone for their input / help with this! All has been very much appreciated. I've been dealing with some...
@climhazzard sorry to @ you, but thought you might know the answer to this maybe... Is there a Toyota specific instance for ISTA? Or will a normal BMW specialist be able to code the module? I'm just thinking it maybe cheaper to go down that route (depending on what Toyota say next week...)
Good news.. I can rule out the battery ๐ข
So that was ยฃ170 wasted; problem still occurs. Looks like I'm going to have to speak to Toyota.. I can see this being a complete sh*t show for me (as the cars fairly heavily modified).
Can anyone tell me, a second hand headunit, I'm assuming this will...
Ordered a replacement AGM battery, hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow, once it's fitted and I've tested driven the car again I'll report back ๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ป๐๐ป
I've also started speaking with PowerTex about shipping a battery over to the UK, apparently this is something they can offer (just awaiting a...
I guess I've gotta start somewhere, and the best possible outcome would be it's the battery... So I'll try that first. If the issue remains then it's going to become a right headache dealing with Toyota.. I have read (somewhere) there's a possibility that my DME might get bricked when attempting...
You had to burst my bubble ๐ I really hope that's not the case... And this code is just a by-product of the battery failing ๐๐ป
I measured the battery directly before I reconnected it (I disconnected it to charge it fully). That said, I think when I checked via BimmerLink a couple minutes later...
