  1. I had never considered it, to be honest. I have only exchanged the sensors with new wheels and reinstalled them on the same corner. As you said, it will be necessary to delete and reinstall each component separately. Is it advisable to record the varying pressures on each tire and take a little drive? Determine if the system recalibrates on both sides. Indifference
  2. Each time I have exchanged wheels using the same sensors, they have linked seamlessly. Uncertain. Edit: Ah, I get now; you are referring about having switched sides?
  3. It seems to be an ISTA task; there are tools available for coding, but only factory-coded elements that were not addressed during the construction phase may be programmed thereafter.
  4. Unless I am mistaken, the M4 F83 seatbelt is integrated into the seats, but the F36 seatbelt is mounted on the chassis. What measures will you do to resolve the issue?
  5. I detest this function and seldom use it. The rationale is straightforward: I can simultaneously lock the vehicle and fold the mirrors. However, I find that 90% of the time, I must unlock the car again after forgetting anything, often more than once. Coupled with the fact that each time I use it to lock the car, I expend no effort, I prefer to use the button instead.
  6. Thank you, I appreciate all the kind remarks. Will you purchase another one in the future?
  7. I am considering exchanging my 2010 Venza for a 2025 cx30. After extensively reviewing many sources, it seems that the consensus among reviewers is that the rear seat of the cx30 is mostly intended for children aged 10 and younger. I would really appreciate any thoughts or opinions on this matter.
  8. Do you have any new information on the matter? Has the problem been resolved?
  9. Have you attempted to search for "mercedes breakers" on Google?
  10. The auto lowering is not the issue. I have deactivated that feature on my device due to its lack of consistency. Whenever I perceive the sound of a prolonged hissing and gradual decrease in noise level many seconds after the vehicle has been parked, I can confidently attribute it to the rear suspension.
  11. I believe that is a common occurrence, since all of my vehicles exhibit this behaviour after I have parked them. The peculiar aspect is that it occurs sporadically, making it difficult to determine the underlying reason.
  12. Bentley, Ducati, Bugatti, and Lamborghini are all German brands.
  13. I understand and concur. The main point I was trying to convey, if not very well, is that a malfunctioning oil pressure switch does not result in reduced oil pressure.
  14. The primary factor is depletion of oil reserves... If the engine is now producing a knocking sound, it is possible that it has suffered a serious malfunction. If the original poster lacks the necessary expertise and means to dismantle, examine, and reconstruct the engine, it seems to be the most viable option to either replace the engine or dispose of the automobile.
  15. Occasionally, a signal indicating the end of a product's life cycle is received, even when there is no issue with the diesel particulate filter (DPF). If you inform the automobile that it has received a new diesel particulate filter (DPF), it will undergo the process of regeneration in the usual manner. Attempt a 20 to 30-minute run while maintaining the revolutions per minute (RPM) at about 3,000 in a lower gear. This should initiate a regeneration process if the vehicle need it.
  16. The loading time for the new map is rather lengthy. I took a drive to maintain the battery charge for around 50 minutes.
  17. Last week, I removed my bumper in order to address an exhaust valve problem. During the process of reassembling, I discovered an item that is identical to what you already own. It has been discovered that there are shims, sometimes known as washers, located just under the far left and right sections of the central trim piece. The left one became detached during the process of removal and re-installation. As previously mentioned, the spoiler may be detached by unscrewing four 10mm bolts, followed by a few torx bolts. Although some things may be difficult to perceive. It moves backwards. I need to remove mine again soon since I didn't properly connect the number plate wires. I can probably take some images, but the process is very simple.
  18. I encountered a steering angle error on my vehicle, but after I replaced the sensor with a BMW one, the issues ceased. Hopefully, you will have the same outcome. If not, I am uncertain as to why you are seeing that error.
  19. After replacing my ABS sensors, I discovered that some manufacturers were ineffective. Consequently, I opted to purchase BMW ABS sensors, which resolved the issue without triggering any warning lights. whether you want to avoid the high costs associated with BMW pricing, you have two options: you can either locate the original equipment (OE) brand ABS sensor, or you may reset the error codes and monitor whether they reappear after driving.
  20. Adding a live to it is unnecessary and introduces uncertainty. It is advisable to loosen the higher pipe from the heater matrix to allow coolant to drip out, which will eliminate any air trapped in the system. However, it is worth noting that I have worked on well over 1000 engines of this type over the years, and they are designed to bleed in this manner. If pressurisation in the coolant system persists even after bleeding, it indicates more significant issues. Typically, after driving for an extended period and then allowing the engine to cool, all air is expelled from the system. This is observed in all engines of this type, as they go from being halfway filled to nearly empty after bleeding. To achieve this, I recommend running the engine at high revs for an extended period or applying back pressure to the header tank, as I previously mentioned. I apologise if I am repeating myself in this thread, but the method I described above has been proven to be effective and has been tried and tested numerous times. In fact, I will be using this method again on a Cooper S that I have recently worked on and refreshed.
  21. The reason the fan kicks in when an open circuit is induced to the temperature sensor is to default protect itself and communicate this to the electronic control unit (ECU). This is a normal and necessary function. On some automobiles, the fan relay or relays may be identified as green relays located in the fuse box under the hood. Additionally, there is a fuse dedicated to the fan relays on the switching side.
  22. The fan relay is not the issue here. These engines do not activate the fan until the temperature reaches 110 degrees Celsius, which is normal. The engine operates at a running temperature of 105 degrees Celsius. The thermostat housing remains closed until it heats up, allowing some cold air in to regulate the temperature at 105 degrees Celsius. To diagnose the issue, I revved the engine to 2500 RPM while monitoring the coolant temperature using live data. I also observed the header tank to check Another method to release air from the radiator is by disconnecting the small pipe attached to the header tank corner and blowing air into the header tank to expel air through the radiator. This technique is effective in bleeding air from the radiator and I have to perform this process on at least four engines every month, sometimes even on a weekly basis. The hot water flows down through the radiator as the top radiator hose heats up first, similar to how one-way pipes are installed in the heater matrix to ensure proper flow.
  23. I have never performed that procedure before. Typically, I have only bled them by using a bleed screw and monitoring the pressure in the system. It may require several attempts of heating and cooling, with refilling in between. It is important to avoid running the system for too long, as this will cause the pressure to be expelled from the header tank cap. Instead, allow the pressure to build up to about an inch from the top, then shut it off and let it cool. Upon returning, you will notice that Introducing stray battery voltages into inappropriate locations is a hazardous practice.
