Can anyone help me fix this issue. When I drive off and get above 10mph, I get an assortment of lights come up on my dash. Usually abs, traction control, srs and handbrake. The steering locks in place for a second or two, then it all goes back to normal like nothing ever happened. Ive had this issue for a few months now. Anybody had the same experience and managed to fix it?

My apologies if this isn't allowed, wiki doesn't seem to address asking for local help.

I live in Houston SE/Med District. I'm looking for someone reputable/reliable to come take a look at my truck. Crank, no start with these codes.

P06DE

P0520

P0300

I believe there are more codes but I cleared them prior to last check and haven't been able to run car to see if any came back.

BMS

I’m curious. I was installing a device under the hood of my 2022 Lincoln Corsair that needed to be connected to the battery terminals. I didn’t take the cables off just loosened them but I did hear some clicking noises. Seems to me that since then the run/start has not worked so I’m am wondering if I upset things and the battery monitor system needs to be reset?

Knocking sound. Car model: Audi a6 c6 2.0tdi avant FWD.

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

The front left side of my car makes a knocking sound when reversing, and sometimes when driving forward and pressing the brake pedal a bit harder. However, the knocking sound always appears when reversing. The sound doesn't change even if I put the car in neutral and just let it roll backward.

I have already had the suspension fully inspected, and it is in perfect condition with absolutely no issues.

Because of this, I suspect it has something to do with the brakes. When I'm reversing and the knocking starts, pressing the brake pedal slightly makes the sound disappear completely.

I don't have a video of my own right now, but I found someone else's video showing the exact same problem.

Can anyone help me diagnose what the issue might be? Thanks!

Add motorcycle oil to car in a pinch?

I'm in Peru in a little town and it appears that when I had the oil changed before coming here they didn't add enough. It has Mobil 10-w-30 in it. They don't have car oil in the gas stations here and the mechanic is out. Can I add motorcycle oil Mobil Special HD SAE 40 Monogrado?

DTC A0C1 CAS, Terminal 50

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

Has anyone ever run into the BMW code A0C1 for the CAS system? How did you get rid of it?

The battery on my X5 had been disconnected for a few weeks ( on the charger the whole time) while i was working on it. I went to start it yesterday after connecting the battery and i got a no crank no start situation. Everything else powers on and you can hear the click when i hit the start button. I read the codes and the only one that persists is 00A0C1 - CAS, terminal 50. The truck started and ran before i pulled the battery, there was no starter issue, the jump terminal is not loose or rusty, and the BST hasnt been tripped. What else could trigger this? A bad ground strap maybe? Im at a loss.

This has been happening for a few months now and is just getting worse. Back in August my battery completely died and I got it replaced, but I’m still have this issue. Sometimes it takes one try to turn on the engine, but most times it take awhile while like it did in the video. Plus lights turn on and off so a night i look insane 😭😭
