Unlocking and locking using approach and walk-away technology.

Does your item have a value of 23 or 24? -
Indeed, it seems that there is moisture present inside the dashboard, but its exact location is uncertain. An expert in electrical systems will locate it within a time frame of less than 30 minutes. (If there is any noticeable moisture in the automobile, it is advisable to remove or decrease it simultaneously.) By using either clothing or a lengthy journey in an air-conditioned vehicle.

Ensure you inspect the battery. It would be beneficial if you could effectively interpret any error codes. I had a defective Wheel Speed Sensor, resulting in many apparently unconnected alerts, including ABS, Engine Fault, and the roof's refusal to shut. This occurred because the vehicle was unable to determine its motion status.

What is the most effective method for causing tyres to emit smoke?
CrownChikk replied to Syncephe's topic in General
The windscreen has incurred a significant flaw, resulting in a value reduction of 90k. Your differential is functioning well until the moment you wanted to intentionally spin the tyres for amusement, resulting in a sudden and unexpected impact. The decision about the choosing of your automobile is entirely up to you. -
I applied stone chips and a door edge with a little amount of product, repeating the process as needed until achieving a suitable result.

Sorry. I should have mentioned. My colour is Dark Graphite Grey (7831). The undercoat will be significantly lighter, similar to the Brilliant Blue hue.

Thank you for this. Ordered a spare for the vehicle in preparation for the unavoidable.

Questions about the 1995 Classic Soft Dash Steering Wheel

If it were me, I would begin searching for a high-quality pre-owned item, since I believe there are no new alternatives available. -

Questions about the 1995 Classic Soft Dash Steering Wheel
CrownChikk replied to CrownChikk's topic in General
Understood - that aligns with the specific location (horizontally in the centre of the pad) where a fracture is beginning to appear. Are there any issues with installing a new pad/airbag, or is it a straightforward plug-and-play process following the directions in RAVE? Uncertain whether installing a replacement would cause any problems or difficulties. -
Observed that the central pad/SRS is fractured or has cosmetic damage. I have a new leather-wrapped steering wheel and I am now evaluating my choices for the centre pad. Wondering whether covering the centre with leather would be effective - it shouldn't affect the SRS/airbag function as long as it remains on the pad. Has anybody encountered this before? Is my only alternative to locate a new SRS/center pad from another soft dash or disco 1? Thank you!

Inconsistent performance while using foot motion to open the trunk.
CrownChikk replied to Mindumer's topic in General
To access the trunk/cargo space, stand behind the back tyre of the vehicle and kick just behind where the mud flap is located. Give it a kick and wait for 1 second, it often opens. Repeatedly kicking instead of kicking once will result in the process failing. -
Cease the vehicle's motion while keeping the engine operational.

STAR diagnosis is really necessary. Bring it to a reputable and unbiased expert. It is most likely that the issue is not due to either the battery or the alternator. -

Which engine is included in your "2016 Mercedes C Class"? The alert may not be associated with the 12v battery. Additionally, it is advisable to subject the automobile to a diagnostic scan using either STAR or iCarsoft tools to accurately determine the origin of the problem. -

Three-year-old automobiles may have reliability problems. Although I cannot afford to purchase one, I prefer to acquire a car that has been well tested and shown to be reliable. Consider returning the item to the original seller and exchanging it for another, as a humorous suggestion.

My first hypothesis would be a deteriorating High-Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP). The device will not operate at such a low pressure. If one of the High-Pressure Fuel Pumps (HPFPs) is malfunctioning, I recommend replacing both of them. However, in order to prevent randomly replacing components, it is advisable to examine the issue more closely. Another possible reason might be a malfunctioning injector, but in such cases, there would typically be some noticeable emission of petrol from the exhaust.

The Audi R8 Gen 1 has undergone a facelift. Spyder Pollen Filter
CrownChikk replied to CrownChikk's topic in General
I have enlarged the holes after first cutting a smaller one. I enlarge the hole in a piece of wood or plastic to the necessary size and then fasten it securely. I then use it as a guide without the central drill inserted. -

I appreciate the ingenious concept. 👍 Indeed, I received a recommendation from another member to engage in that activity. It is logical. I believe that my battery may need replacement in the near future, therefore to be honest, it is not a significant issue to remove it. I have lubricated the wiper spindles. For your information, it seems to be a 100mm soil pipe blanking cap. 🤣 -

CrownChikk replied to CrownChikk's topic in General
The automobile has accumulated a mileage of 34,000 kilometres. As a spyder, I assumed that the air conditioning and heating would not be used often. Nevertheless, I was astounded by the dire need for their replacement. -

CrownChikk replied to CrownChikk's topic in General
I discovered that the only method of inserting them was by applying a forceful pull on the loom, causing it to disengage from its original position beneath the housing. It was effortlessly easy. Audi charges a fee of £400 in the United Kingdom for this service. I see the reason why finding it amusing 🤣🤣 -

Finally, during my attempt to replace the pollen filters, I encountered a delay in realising that Audi had intentionally positioned the dense wire harness beneath the pollen filter housing.
