  1. And a badge displaying the AMG logo.......
  2. It is worthless. The repairs exceed the initial estimate or budget and create lingering concerns about unsolved additional problems. In the present day, there is a significant value in salvaging materials since several components may be resold.
  3. It must return to the earth. The level sensor erroneously detects that the bags are entirely raised when the automobile is elevated, like in your current situation.
  4. Depressurizing and repressurizing the suspension is a distinct procedure that is carried out via the OBD port.
  5. I recommend deferring the use of the servicing kit until you have verified the oil level. I would also ensure that you thoroughly examine the trouble codes by using a diagnostic tool capable of reading all the gearbox codes comprehensively. Possibly due to insufficient oil, however there seems to be an issue with the MCT (torque converter replacement) in my opinion.
  6. Similarly, I have not used the parking brake at all. My vehicle has always been on auto hold, and I have not found the need to turn it off while doing various moves.
  7. Well done πŸ‘ However, it is important not to underestimate the alarm unit's significance while investigating electrical malfunctions. No, the automobile does not emit sound. However, it has the capability to transfer electric current back into the vehicle via its own batteries, which may result in various abnormal malfunctions. During my time with a 2006 W203 C class owned by a cousin, I saw that the danger lights would spontaneously begin flashing at any given moment, whether it was day or night. After disconnecting it, the faults ceased to exist.
  8. A few months ago, I received a low alert on my fob, which persisted. However, it is crucial to continue driving using the fob since it is the only method of charging it. According to the article, it will take around 30 hours of driving time to completely charge the vehicle from the current flatness level. A 30-minute trip will provide the fob with around 10 opportunities to lock or unlock. Ultimately, it was a round trip of 6 hours that was successful for me.
  9. Nowadays, air suspension is often used in many modern, luxury vehicles. Individuals that prioritise driving conversions usually lack the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively optimise them. Most likely not the individual you want to do the task.
  10. It seems that you own a significant amount of shares in the firm.
  11. Opt for an intelligent charger rather than a trickle charger. They alternate between periods of activity and inactivity.
  12. Try this on the RS4 and see if it works. 1. Insert the key into the lock. 2. Engage the car's locking mechanism by rotating towards the back. 3. Insert the key into the lock and turn it to the locked position. Then, press the lock button on the fob. 4. Unlock the automobile by turning the key towards the front. Step 5: While the key is in the unlock position, push the unlock button on the fob. 6. Initiate the vehicle by using the key. 7. Power down the vehicle and synchronise the fob.
  13. Abstaining from discussing the colour. Yellow is a flattering colour on just a small number of automobiles, and I consider the R8 to be one of those cars. However, why is it considered a museum piece? It seems to be a mistake to me.
  14. What is the reason for choosing the colour yellow? The last automobile should have been Jet Blue to complete the sequence. The German people...
  15. I recall an instance were my insurance provider inquired about my interest in participating in their driver monitoring initiative. This is the sequence of the chat. Representative: Are you interested in participating in the "Blah Blah Safe Driving Programme"? Me: What is the subject matter? Agent: Your driving excursions are recorded and you get a reduction in price for practicing safe driving. Me: I decline. The policyholder is entitled to an X% reduction in their insurance rates. Do you not want to capitalise on the cost savings? No. I do not. Agent: Are you certain? Me: Allow me to inquire about something. Agent: Certainly! Me: Is there insurance coverage available via this agency? Agent: Certainly! Is the individual using the "Blah Blah Safe Driving Programme"?Extended pause: :: more prolonged pause: Greetings? Agent: While I am not permitted to make such a statement, I will inform you that you have declined. I express my gratitude. Your response was deemed satisfactory.
  16. The inclusion of a checkbox inside the Becker Map Pilot Settings menu is a possibility.
  17. If that is the case, proceed to do an online search for an instructional handbook pertaining to the Becker Map Pilot for Mercedes. The Becker Map Pilot navigation processor is located in the glove compartment. It can be detached from the vehicle and connected to a PC via a Mini-USB connection (distinct from the smaller Micro-USB). Once connected, the firmware may be updated at no cost, while the maps can be updated for a fee.
  18. It should be noted that the 2012 vehicle will be equipped with either the Audio20 infotainment system, which is the entry-level model with the Becker Map Pilot navigation processor located in the glove box, or the COMAND NTG4.5 unit, which is the higher-end model including built-in navigation on the internal HDD. Are you aware of the specific one you possess?
  19. As said before. The adjustment of volume is necessary during a SatNav message, especially when the speaker is engaged in conversation. To repeat the previous instruction, just push the button, and thereafter modify the volume upon hearing the SatNav message once again.
  20. According to the note provided by my auto detailer and the maker of the car detailing product, it is necessary to thoroughly clean all surfaces and then use steam and a clean microfiber cloth to wipe every surface. Ensure that you do not reuse the same microfiber cloth; instead, use a fresh one for each wipe. Opt for a white one and you will see the presence of greasy residue. If the odour persists, place a container filled with roasted coffee beans in the floor areas of the vehicle overnight, ensuring that all windows are closed. The aroma of coffee is more socially acceptable than that of smoke.
  21. The A/C will help to maintain the current temperature. I meticulously refurbished a Porsche 911 from the late 1970s, undertaking a comprehensive restoration process that included stripping the car down to its bare metal and meticulously reassembling it, ensuring that every component was accounted for. One of the motivating factors for this extensive restoration was the persistent odour of smoke that permeated the vehicle, particularly noticeable under humid conditions, which I experienced on a daily basis while residing in Puerto Rico at the time. The automobile exhibited evidence of frequent smoking, with oily residue present on several surfaces, including not just the headliner and upholstery, but also beneath the dash, wiring, and switches. The seat cushions made of horse hair had a noticeable odour. Refrain from engaging in such action. For the automobile, and for you. With that being said, I own some exceptional cigars that I acquired from a customer in Central America! However, it raises the question: What is your occupation? Seems fascinating πŸ˜‰
  22. I am really grateful for your assistance,Videoman. The explanation and required components were clear to me, and the video proved to be really beneficial. I will engage with the local Audi R8 communities to gather information on the activities and practices of its members. I am really grateful for the valuable assistance and knowledge you have provided. Your support is much appreciated.
  23. Oh, it is astonishing. Based on my understanding, it seems that the $3k price is deemed suitable for executing the task in a manner that adheres to the correct standards. Oh my, now I am contemplating abandoning the whole wing idea and returning the one I purchased. In addition, the whole automobile has previously been protected with paint protection film (PPF). Uncertain about the appropriate course of action in this situation. Is it advisable to directly penetrate the active aerodynamics system? I am inquiring about the proportion of individuals who choose one path compared to the other.
