  1. I am curious about what caused the fuse to blow, specifically the timing of the event. Any reputable dealer would inspect the fuse promptly, since it was formerly considered a standard part of customer care.
  2. Are you certain that it is the English as a Second Language (ESL) programme? Have you used the STAR diagnostic system to get the error codes?
  3. Thank you for your response. Indeed, I have a serious inquiry. Throughout my 25 years of experience in the automotive industry, I have operated various automatic vehicles that required me to engage the brake when transitioning from Park to Drive or from Drive to Reverse. However, with the E350 model, I have noticed that I can change gears without applying the brake. Could you confirm if this is the intended functionality?
  4. The battery is functional, since all components are receiving power and functioning properly. However, the engine fails to start.
  5. When I attempted to start the vehicle the other morning, it failed to start. Although the key successfully activated all the car's systems, the dashboard displayed an error message indicating that the ESP and Pre-Safe features were not accessible, and the tyre pressure sensors were not functioning. The key spins all the way clockwise to start position but nothing occurs. The handbook recommends cleaning the sensors, but it does not specify which sensors or their locations. Is it possible that a damaged battery may be the source of this issue? I had a similar problem with a V6 Diesel Jaguar, which was resolved by installing a new battery. Is it necessary to depress the brake pedal in order to start the car's ignition and switch between the drive and reverse gears? Assistance is requested. Gratitude will be given in advance.
  6. Exceptional automobile, savour it!
  7. The mix of Selenite Grey with satin silver trim is a wonderful choice. Congratulations on your excellent taste. Additionally, there are optional alloy wheels available, which is rather uncommon. Ergonomic seating
  8. The vehicle will comply with Euro4 emission standards, which previously met the criteria for Low Emission Zones (LEZ) but does not satisfy the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) regulations.
  9. With a mileage of 99,000, it would be advisable to replace the chains to prevent any potential damage if they were to fail. I have obtained another item that now has
  10. What are the reasons for choosing Febi vs MB? In my experience, the quality of Febi products might be unpredictable. Febi has a somewhat poor reputation on most MB boards. Fortunately, I had the good fortune of finding Febi flex discs. Initially, I intended to return the items since I had specifically requested Lemfoerder. However, when seeing that they were manufactured by SGF, my trust in their quality was restored.
  11. It is advisable to locate the MB reference number first and then do an online search for a high-quality aftermarket component or an authentic MB New Old Stock (NOS) part. You may have a fortunate outcome.
  12. What is the specific component number for the MB?
  13. Indeed, you are correct - I discovered that the price is more than £100 lower by venturing a little further to a different Kia Dealer! Thank you for the guidance.
  14. Thank you, this is what I am considering. I have seen several negative anecdotes about Kia warranty claims. Consequently, I am contemplating whether it is prudent to spend a substantial amount of money to extend the coverage for an additional 12 months until the expiration of the warranty, only to find myself unable to make a claim in the event of any potential issues.
  15. Thank you, I am capable of doing a comprehensive service on my own, but I would want to have a service stamp recorded in the book to ensure that the value of the vehicle remains unaffected when I decide to trade it in.
  16. Greetings everyone, my Sportage, a non-turbo petrol model with a 1.6 engine from March 2018, is scheduled for its main repair soon. However, the local Kia store is charging a staggering £459 for this service. Can someone provide information on the specific fluids, components, and filters that are often replaced?
  17. An other choice is automotive litter. Purchase a bag, allocate a portion of its contents into a worn-out sock, secure the sock by tying a knot, and place it on the dashboard.
