1016 Industries - Subpar Customer Service
KnightNewscast replied to KnightNewscast's topic in General
Precisely! It is absurd that they requested a demonstration of why their gear is not functioning, as if they were capable of finding a solution. I provided evidence, but they entirely disregarded it, save for informing the third-party vendor that they declined to reply. After spending a significant amount of money on a lip procedure. Savage. I have also been informed that their hood fits poorly and they show little concern for client concerns about this matter. -

The bolts prove insufficient in length during insertion of the tubes. The fitting was around 80% accurate. Given the exceptional quality of the product, it is expected that the appropriate hardware would have been included. The store had to get the hardware and perform a customised installation in order for it to function correctly. -

I have perused that, laughing out loud. However, they said that it is a straight bolt-on and there was no significant deviation. This is a binary decision - not a matter of compatibility. Their hardware was inaccurate. They promoted it as a straight bolt-on. This is not a low-cost buy from eBay. How is it acceptable for firms to disregard their customers? I have procured aftermarket components from many suppliers. This serves as a cautionary notice for others. -

You are accurate in your assertion, yet it should be noted that some options are superior than others. The primary concern is in the assertion that it is a straightforward bolt-on, which is inaccurate. Furthermore, the disregard I experienced. If the only problem was fitting concerns, I would not have commented or complained about it, and I would have accepted it as it is. -
Greetings, everyone. I would like to inform everyone that I have just purchased a front lip for my 2023 facelifted R8 from 1016 Industries. The final outcome was satisfactory, albeit the precision of the installation may be rated at about 8 out of 10. The fitting is imprecise and does not align optimally. 1016 claimed that it was a straight bolt-on, however, the hardware they supplied was clearly incompatible. My business had to get specialised hardware to perfectly fit it to the car. 1016 asserted that the store was in error. Nevertheless, I sent films and images. I requested a credit of $150 to cover the additional expenses and effort incurred. I shown exceptional politeness throughout the whole procedure. Initially, they requested the submission of photographs and films depicting the problem. After doing the task, they declined to respond. They informed Tag Motorsports, the third party from whom I made the transaction, that they would not be providing a response to me. Despite my efforts to be polite and thorough in my explanation, the other party chose to disregard me. Given the magnitude of this corporation, their deficiency in customer service is utterly absurd. Tag Motorsports promptly refunded me the whole amount of $150, which is really satisfactory. Nevertheless, handling 1016 was undeniably an unfavourable encounter. Potential purchasers should exercise caution.

What is the most effective method for causing tyres to emit smoke?
KnightNewscast replied to Syncephe's topic in General
Discouraged for those without prior experience. Driving an all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicle is much more challenging, and any damage incurred is also more costly to fix. -
I have recently seen...I believe that my first perception of what I saw in my automobile may have been incorrect. Make sure to disable the "auto" function and set the thermostat to a higher temperature than the inside of your vehicle. If you would, please test it with me. It is posited that when the "auto" function is off and the aforementioned requirements are satisfied, the airflow may be impeded until a satisfactory temperature is attained. It is important to note that today has been a long day for me, since I have been working since around 0300 and I have depleted my coffee supply.

If the temperature in the automobile is set below the ambient temperature, it will produce a chilly airflow. Nevertheless, if you have it configured as mentioned before, I think it should refrain from emitting cold air until it reaches the temperature requirement of the environment. I may be mistaken. You may consider having a dealer examine it.

Thank you once again😇

Hello Sumoto, I appreciate your timely answers, friend. I lack expertise on automotive matters. Approximately two years ago, I had an oil leak, and this image was one of the ones my technician shared with me. Currently experiencing an unusual problem where my 4 series is loosing oil pressure specifically at highway speeds. Most postings on this topic report low oil pressure at idle or while braking, with pressure increasing as RPMs grow. In contrast, my issue is the reverse. I suspect I may have harmed my engine since the oil pressure indicator has illuminated twice while I was driving at 70mph, leading me to overanalyze and inquire about metal shavings. I just had her undergo a comprehensive service, including a flush and oil change. However, the pressure lamp illuminated for the second time on my trip back home yesterday night. Exasperated!

Hello everyone, Can someone confirm whether these particles in my oil are metal shavings? Thank you!

I have used a compact diagnostic apparatus to conduct a check, following the directions which specify to keep the ignition on and thereafter connect the device. However, the predicament is in the fact that the problem notice only appears while the engine is running. -

2016 Mercedes-Benz C220 The auxiliary battery has already been replaced. -
Greetings, everyone. I encountered the alarming dashboard warning message instructing me to stop the car and keep the engine running. This warning would intermittently vanish and reappear after about one week. Particularly after an extended jog! After many months, the indicator still did not vanish, prompting me to replace the vehicle battery with one I had stored in my garage. I made sure that the battery was fully charged. The problem I am experiencing is that the notice persists even after replacing the battery. I have brought the vehicle to KwikFit, where they performed a battery test and confirmed that everything is in proper working order. Earlier, I encountered a failure notice about the auxiliary battery. I promptly replaced the auxiliary smaller battery, resulting in the immediate disappearance of the fault message. I am somewhat perplexed. Is it possible that the alternator is the cause? The automobile has consistently starting without any complications. Nevertheless, the dashboard indicator appears and cannot be dismissed? The only observation I have made is that when the vehicle is started, the dashboard screen momentarily turns dark before the motor begins. I believe it was an error on my part to install a previously unused battery that was there in my vicinity. despite indicating a full charge. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Electrically operated handbrake, often known as EPB.
KnightNewscast replied to Cleverco's topic in General
Similarly, I have also replaced brake pads many times as well as callipers and rotors/discs. Detached the handbrake cable and reattached it upon completion. Prior to using the handbrake for the first time after reassembling it, I fully pressed the brake pedal until I felt maximum resistance. Encountered no problem. Currently, I possess knowledge on the epb, albeit it is unrelated to the current topic. -
The C200SE s205 is experiencing excessive heat buildup.
KnightNewscast replied to Mututing's topic in General
In your situation, OP, I would have questioned the need of changing the coolant if there has been no evidence of leakage. -

Mercedes-Benz dealerships are very disreputable. My W251 vehicle was brought in for a brake booster recall three months ago. I personally maintain and possess comprehensive knowledge of my autos. Upon inspecting the automobile during the recall, they informed me that they had identified many issues that need immediate care, such as a broken brake fluid tank and several damaged brackets. According to them, the automobile is inoperable till repaired and the cost of fixing it would be $1.1k. I entered forcefully, since it was evident that they were responsible for the damage and were attempting to make me pay for it. Ultimately, they expressed their intention to rectify everything as a symbolic act. Viscous excrement. I am MB from Nottingham. -
I will do the task, my friend. Have you had the opportunity to communicate with the exhaust specialist to get the pricing for the exhaust system and the re-mapping service?
-
Thank you. I see that you engage in this kind of labour. May I know the price, please?

Greetings, I appreciate your response. I purchased the vehicle three months before. There are no issues being shown. The approximate mileage is about 99,500 miles. The book contains service history stamps, but none of them pertain specifically to the timing chain.
