I have just returned from a vacation in a rural cottage in the Dordogne area. The individual in charge said that there is a noticeable absence of wasps, bees, and butterflies this year. Indeed, he is correct. There was indeed an absence of it. It is really concerning.

The new premium seems much less expensive, considering that you are insuring something with a value that is 27 times higher, for just thrice the cost. It might be considered a great deal!

Am I the only one who thinks that the C63 has an attractive appearance, but the back spoiler seems like it was added as an afterthought, like something from a Meccano set?

Shiyardit, please provide an update on your progress.

Jollyno, you are a star!

Friend I would also modify the thermostat. It seems that VAG manufactures them using chocolate. Wishing you success!

A few years ago, there was a blanking plate installed on the EGR valve. I am curious whether there might be a leakage occurring via that connection. I will investigate more.

That seems logical. I was mostly concerned about the possibility of a defect in the turbocharger itself. Now I need to determine whether it is worth investing on a thorough analysis and welding for a vehicle that is 11 years old and valued at £2000.

Greetings, everyone. I own a 2013 Kia with a 1.6 CRDI engine and 4 tech features. When operating at around 1600rpm, there is a narrow range of engine revolutions when I get a distinct noise like a rattling sound. (Excluding all the people, specifically referring to the automobile) Based on my perception, there seems to be an exhaust blast occurring simultaneously with the turbo spooling up. However, I have some apprehension that this might be attributed to the turbo bearings vibrating. It is quite frustrating since the roads in my area are mostly designed for driving, and this issue occurs when I reach a speed of around 58mph when in 6th gear. Consequently, it becomes a persistent source of irritation when I attempt to maintain a speed of 60mph on winding and steep roads. Most of the time, I find myself driving in 5th gear to maintain high engine revolutions and, as a result, I likely use a significant amount of diesel unnecessarily. Has anybody else experienced this?

Based on the events that have occurred, it seems impractical to invest in hiring someone to repair the engine. It seems to be a problematic situation. £3750 may not provide significant value for a new engine. However, if the vehicle is superb in all other aspects, it might perhaps justify the cost. In my opinion, the most favourable course of action would be to sell the car in its current condition, specifically for spare parts or repairs. Then, you can use the funds obtained from the sale, together with an additional £3,000 to £4,000, to purchase a new vehicle.

According to the instructions in my handbook, there should be a method to activate these functions in the settings. However, either my device does not have this option, or I am unable to locate it. Is anybody here using those features?

The issue is with the egr position codes. The DDE (Digital Diesel Electronics) system only accepts OEM/wahler codes and rejects any other codes. If adaptations are not reset, the DDE (Digital Diesel Electronics) might have a tantrum.

On the right side of the engine, there is a steel pipe that is linked to the exhaust manifold with a banjo connection. This pipe then goes up to a rubber hose where the pre-turbine pressure sensor is attached. Remove the sensor and test its ability to retain a vacuum using a manual vacuum pump. whether it is able to hold a vacuum, it indicates that there is a blockage. Alternatively, use WD40 and see whether it drains away. Inserting an old bicycle brake wire and rotating it with a cordless drill is often effective in removing blockages.

In my observation, it seems that the egr valve is defective rather than being stuck. Have you verified that the supply line to the pre-turbine pressure sensor is unobstructed and free from blockages?

I concur with the suggestion that the battery is a probable cause. However, if you would want an alternative recommendation, where do you store it while it is not being used?

Certain insurance companies provide a reduction in price when a tracker is connected via the OBD2 connection, although the benefits are not justified.

That is where I would invest my money.

The motor is excellent.

Hello @Cincoon, Was this issue ever resolved? I am experiencing the same problem with my AMG line A200 from July 2021, which has 17,000 miles on it. The dealer claims that the damage is due to stone chips and is not covered under warranty, however it is really a paint adhesion problem.

Could a poorly designed item potentially harm other components?

Thank you for replying. Appears to be a haphazard assembly of farm debris.

I will upload an audiovisual recording.
