Unfortunately it seems to be the case, what a pity.
This is what I plan to do, quickest and least troubling thing to do.
I might do that after above check anyway because I think I'll be again traveling abroad for another 6 months and car goes back to the garage :/
Thank you all for the answers.
A week ago I changed set of wheels, summer tires with BMW TPMS, set from Ali, all sensors manufactured in 2023, used for 2 years, 3rd year now. All worked but recently, I received this TPMS malfunction info already 3 times, once it appeared for few seconds and disappeared on its own. Now it's...
Will xHP/Bimmercode work with ethernet cable with USB-C adapter on the phone? If yes, which connector do I need to buy: 1 or 2? Is 100Mbps speed for USB-C adapter enough for stable data transfer?
So this is how I prepared the car to be able to open the trunk after 6 months of garage storage. I used jump wires to "extend" OEM ones, to be able to clamp them on the battery, just next to the driver's seat. It worked perfectly.
Regarding battery maintenance, I moved battery to the basement...
I'm glad some people still have this ability :)
Garage is secure and right next where I'm living. I'm going to charge the battery once per month, to maintain its health but outside of the garage, I'm not planning to move battery in and out during the parking period. Once striker is removed of...
Yes guys, car must be fully closed during this 3 months long parking.
You clearly haven't read my previous posts, if this was so easy, I wouldn't have asked here.
Yes, I can't leave any gap, since there might be insects in the garage which will enter the car. This already happened just over 1...
I've noticed their dongle has been sold out for a while: https://www.xautomotive.com/products/xhp-wifi-adapter
And on Aliexpress I no longer see Bimmercode wifi OBD2 adapters which used to be available for approx 40USD a few months ago, just BT3.0/4.0 ones which I was told are too slow for data...
OK, better not to do it this way.
I have another idea, since I really want to remove the battery, otherwise it's gonna be dead after 3 months of garage parking. I was thinking to remove the striker so the trunk will not lock itself, it shall stay in place under it's own weight.
I'm still having a small issue with "metal" noise coming from the left front. I bought this 3 pin adjusting tooling and slightly increased the preload. I did approx. 100km and I think noise was gone however the steering wheel was not going back to the original position as easily as I would like...
Well, I wanted to take out the battery so it could rest these few weeks in an ambient temperature, this would keep it in a safe condition. Yes, I could do as you both suggest. There's also another option, since it's possible to run the engine for 10-15 minutes each 3-4 weeks, maybe this would be...
Hi, I'm guessing some of you are parking your Supra in the garage for the winter. This year, I'm planning to park the car in the garage for an extended period (there's no electricity in the garage), and I'm wondering how to "maintain" the battery health while it's parked. I don't have access to...
I have 2 questions for this DIY.
#1: Before removing the oil pan, have you drained the oil (measured how much was drained), refilled it (to exact same amount what has been drained), run through the gears to flush the converter and next drained the oil again, replace the oil pan, refill oil...
Toyota accepted warranty complaint on both door weatherstrips, they are going to replace both sealings. I think these are the ones on the picture, correct? I thought this sealing was glued to the door panel while it's clearly attached to the door itself, therefore I'm wondering if replacing it...
I had EPS and active dampers checked by Toyota dealership yesterday, no issues found. Today they checked the alignment again, everything is OK. Since there's no noise on the rack & pinion, I don't think there's a need to change the preload setting at this point. Looks like everything is within...
I have 13k km on my car, nearly 2 years old, recently I have a feeling that I can "feel" much more road structure on the steering wheel (steering wheel doesn't vibrate), especially from front left wheel (since it's closest to the driver and steering column). Line assist in completely off, I...
This is how I did cargo net on my Supra. Toyota dealership offered me OEM D-rings for approx. 47USD per one with 17% discount included (sic!).
I purchased these ones on Ali: https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005006876472154.html they are small but enough for the job and they "disappear" in the...
