You don’t need to start it, just take the key out of the ignition, shut the door and wait for three minutes. Then all modules are asleep. A BSI reset is a reset of the main BSI module, sometimes this helps when you have some weird (electrical) problem. You do this by disconnecting the battery...

Turn off engine, open the bonnet, let the car sit for >3 minutes for it to go to sleep. Then do the change. Wait a minute after connecting the new battery before opening the car. The most important bit is the wait time for all modules to go to sleep. This also comprises a so called BSI reset (...

Is there a way to keep the RT6 active, without running the engine? I have a battery charger able of supporting a battery. Would be ideal to update the system in the garage, instead of having to either drive for hour(s) or idling for extended periods of time. I have a DiagBox, maybe there is a...

I have 4 spares, but shipping to the UK will not be cheap....

Have you checked the starter motor fuse? Or the solenoid? This seems to suggest that those might be faulty:

Starter motor maybe?

I had the same thing. Battery terminal (negative) was loose.

According to the denso website: So there will be 12V continuously, with dips to zero when a spark is required. Your multimeter most likely does not register these drops to zero.

if you have the parts, just try. Probably you can do so without removing the flip-up screen. just connect the other one. The only wire going to the flip-up screen is a LVDS signal wire. I’m busy adding CarPlay to my car, so I know.

Which engine? And on which side?

Which spray product did you use to clean?

Powder coating is cheaper than cutting indeed. I’ve seen that automatic wheel CNC machines are being developed. Maybe that will lower the price.

Wow, that’s much cheaper than we pay over here. I have 4 R alloys extra and was wondering whether to sell them or keep them to refurbish at later stage...

RCZ-R 17.500km

Nice, I’ve looked into this too, shops here ask 200 euro for a full powdercoat/diamondcut treatment. What does it cost over there?

The big filter is the engine air filter. The cabin filter is to the left of the engine in the bulkhead, but you already replaced that one didn’t you? Those pipes you marked are also part of the engine intake afaik. I don’t know how much oil, if any, is allowed there. I’ll check mine soon.

Well, if you think it’s hot plastic, a culprit could be the blower motor I think. But then it also should occur with cold air… Does the smell get worse on higher blower speeds? Or there is something rotting in your hvac system? Ozone/ClO2 treatment?

Does anybody know if it is possible to let the hvac blower run without running the engine? Maybe hotwire 12V into a fuse or so? I would like to do an interior cleaning with running blower motor, but rather have the car not running.

I replaced the battery, which solved all issues. But it might not even have been necessary. The negative connection was somewhat loose, as was the bolt holding the plus from the battery to the starter. I think the last person who changed the battery did not connect everything as tight as it...

Have you solved it? I had something similar. The battery control module seems to be a possible cause.
