Life would be a bit drab without a sense of humor.

Hoping the following could be useful. It seems not to be present in V7-0a release.

E-CALL not working (red led).
Remove for 20" the fuse indicated below

Reconnect it.

Thanks @alvan. As we don’t have e call in Australia I’ve steered clear of adding it to the manual as I can’t independently check things.

As it’s a good tip I’ll work how to include in the next edition.

Cheers

I don’t whether it’s included but fuse FC04 in the cockpit centre if removed disables the theft/ tilt alarm. Useful for ferry crossings.

My e-call hasn't been working properly for months. Only the red LED lights up. Today I tried "@alvan's" tip. Now the e-call is working as it should. When unlocking the door, both LEDs light up. After a short self-test, the red LED goes out and only the green one lights up. Thank's @alvan

Already there in section 13.9 transport mode.

Thanks @Greasemonkey. Always good to get second confirmation.

Since Christmas I’ve been slowly compiling an off-line document which I can print and put in my glove box that captures information missing from the owner’s manual and other useful bits and pieces.

I’ve now got it to a point where its ready to share with forum members. You can download the new PDF using the following link:

Use link at top of page now

The forum has been a great source of information so thank you all for your efforts. Posts I’ve drawn information from are referenced (if you need further info) and members acknowledged in the document.

I’ll update the link in this post and post an alert in the thread when I update the document. Any feedback, corrections or even additions are welcome. Happy for you to share provided you make acknowledgement to this thread.

If you print it out either use an A5 page and shrink to fit or an A4 booklet in adobe reader print settings..

May you find it useful.

Cheers

Steve

Want to add one potential change. The steering fluid is the Pentosin CHF 11s but Pentonsin now makes CHF 202 to replace it. It's 100% compatible, usually cheaper, and was actually designed to replace the CHF11s to combat steering pump noise.

Thanks for that.

Both seem to be interchangeable and the Penrite equivalent here in OZ meets both 11s and 202 standards. Will make a note/update in the next edition.

New owner here, just found your post and wanted to say thank you! Amazing work.

 

[Sauerländer]

Thank You very much for Your work, I've inhalated the complete manual in the past five hours of my night shift.
Helps a lot to understand the truck and helps to appreciate the peculiarity of our trucks!

 

[Sauerländer]

Today, I started the purge procedure, discribed on page 38.
The start went on without issues and "Service started" appeared.

I waited for 11 minutes, waited longer, waited almost one hour and "service started" was shown al the time.
The engine stayed on idle revs all the time and did not rev up and down.
After one hour I turned the engine off without the message "service ended"

Concerning to page 26 I was looking for the Oil dip stick on the Diesel Engine.
I could not find a dip stick where it should be and nowhere else.

Is it possible that there is no stick? Our BMW Diesel Car does not have a stick neither.

The engine bay of my 2023 Diesel is different than the on on the picture on page 26 it looks more like a mixture betwen the Diesel and the Petrol engine bay on page 27...

Are you sure you have an Ineos Grenadier ?????

 

[Sauerländer]

I'm not sure... looks very similar!

Thanks for the feedback.

I can't explain the why your purge procedure didn't finish, perhaps it didn't need doing or there is something that we the forum members collectively aren't aware of. Ah the joy of reverse engineering....

The dip stick will be there. This is what you are looking for:

As for engine bay differences if you could post a good quality picture of your engine bay I can compare against what I already have. There might well be differences.

Cheers
Steve

I'm not sure... looks very similar!

Best to remove the engine cowl/cover if you have not done so far and putting the hood/bonnet in the very upright position will help you get to the rear area of the engine a little easier...use a bright light and best of luck

 

[Greasemonkey]

I had the same problem. The venting routine just wouldn't stop. I now believe it was because my hood was closed. With a diesel engine, the hood has to be open, whereas with a gasoline engine, it can be closed.

Look here:

[Sauerländer]

@Rok Dr, yes of course I will provide a good quality picture of the engine bay soon.

@Greasemonkey, I'm going to try the procedure with hood opened!
