What is the rationale for this? The 530d is a high-performance vehicle from the manufacturer. Your insurance premiums will significantly increase or become void.

Greetings, I have used Endless Pads on my W204, and frankly, the performance is fantastic, particularly for dynamic driving. They are only substantial. However, for everyday usage and little miles, I would assert that high-quality OEM pads may provide superior value. Endless pads provide a luxurious experience and are compatible with rotors; yet, for routine urban or light use, they may be excessive.

Are you frustrated when an SUV, while attempting rapid acceleration, with a small engine—presumably equipped with a turbocharger—is maintaining a lower gear despite your foot remaining on the accelerator? It seems to be preparing for you to accelerate more and/or recharge the battery somewhat after your recent exertion. My 2.5 8-speed automatic exhibits this behaviour in sports mode, however in standard mode, it attempts to change to a higher gear as rapidly as possible, immediately upon little release of the accelerator. My last Ford exhibited rapid shifting similar to your VW, which I deemed inefficient, since it necessitated downshifting upon subsequent acceleration. Similar to entering a freeway ramp, one must accelerate, then decelerate somewhat to get a clear perspective, allowing for either a merge or an increase in speed to follow the flow of traffic. I like it to maintain the lower gear and await clarification of my intentions rather than abruptly shifting to 8th gear, necessitating a further downshift to 4th gear to complete the merging. Contact the dealer; however, if there is no hard shifting, warning light, or other malfunction, they will likely assert that it is functioning normally. If you can locate a somebody to adjust the gearbox like I did with my Ford, you may be able to resolve that issue. Best of luck in finding a coder for that configuration. It would be a daunting challenge to navigate, with several complexities involved in facilitating movement.

I agree that individuals may exhibit unpleasant behaviour in any automotive community. Condemning us all based on a single post, likening us to Tampa, is unkind. Ironically, the Volkswagen community has shown the worst level of toxicity I have seen in almost thirty years of moderating automotive forums and formerly participating in motorsports. I may return soon. In my opinion, the VR6 and everything else is over overrated.

The succinct response to your inquiry is a variety of possible reasons. You do not provide guidance on whether you have conducted any preliminary inspections; nonetheless, components like fuses and fuse holders have to be examined for corrosion. A potentially frayed wire under the dashboard panel. A potentially loose connecting block. An unsuccessful earth connection. Alternatively, there may be an inherent malfunction of the Infotainment, Radio, or Satnav system. In the absence of other information, you may need to seek the expertise of an automobile audio professional.

I am perplexed as to why you have placed an infotainment/radio inquiry under the topic heading of Orlando Fault Codes. The current conversations are irrelevant to your topic query. There are ongoing debates about Infotainment in the Orlando Forum that may be beneficial to review in case your answer is already archived. Although you have mentioned your car model in your message, it is beneficial to include this information in the car specifics section, as well as your geographical location, in the appropriate fields during the Sign-Up procedure, which you left incomplete. The Forum system posits that your location may be Namibia. The next link will elucidate the functioning of the Forum and guide you in utilising the Advanced Search feature to investigate and peruse previous postings that may be beneficial to you.

Understood, I will entrust it to you. My post #2 included enough information to absorb. Reviewing previously uploaded subjects will resemble assembling parts of a jigsaw puzzle for you.

All three codes you mentioned are established subjects on this Forum and may be accessed using the Search feature. They may also be located via internet search engines, such as Google, using the query 'GM Diagnostic code ****'. P0101 pertains to the Mass Air Flow sensor or air filter; P0700 is associated with the Transmission Control Module; P0796 concerns a transmission solenoid, often linked to automatic transmission vehicles. You did not provide enough car data to determine whether yours is automatic. This information is crucial to understand. If so, there is a significant likelihood of insufficient ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) or the fluid present in the 'box' is aged, degraded, and depleted. This may be impacting the gearbox solenoid (P0796); thus, I recommend having your technician replenish the gearbox fluid. If it has not been replaced since 2011, since there is no service history provided, consider having the whole gearbox cleansed and refilled. P0700 TCM may only be a 'sympathy' code produced by the ATF condition. The P0101 code, indicating a malfunction with the Mass Air Flow sensor or maybe a clogged air filter, can be readily rectified by cleaning or replacement. I see no direct correlation between P0101 and the other two, which pertain to transmission issues. My comprehensive evaluation of P0101 and P0700 suggests that the car may possess a substandard service history. To summarise, you may review the current conversations on all three codes by use the Forum Search feature. This will provide you with some context. Secondly, kindly review your Sign-Up and finalise the sections regarding your World Location, which the Forum system identifies as the UK, and complete the vehicle details section (preferably the 'Footer' option) as it allows for more comprehensive information about the vehicle, including gearbox type, mileage, duration of ownership, and service history, among other details.

Have you attempted to reset the TPMS using the instrument cluster menus? Uncertain if a 2015 vehicle should autonomously recognise new or differently positioned sensors. It is advisable to travel over 3 miles after a reset, which may have been performed by the mechanic. Upon resetting, the cluster menu should provide a message such as "please wait, TPMS initialising."

Operating the PHEV as a HEV should provide fuel efficiency similar to that of the 2.0 HEV, given they are identical vehicles equipped with the same engine. The WLTP fuel efficiency rating for the 2.0 HEV is 57.65 MPG; nowadays, these WLTP statistics are readily attainable with Toyota hybrids. Your accomplishments will be contingent upon your driving of the vehicle.

Remember to install wheel spacers.

I have experienced being a passenger in a W201 equipped with the C36 M104 / Getrag configuration, which was so exhilarating that it necessitated the need of new undergarments. Although it is more common for individuals to utilise a chipped C280 manual ECU, you have successfully managed to make a C36 ECU function well. Your achievement is commendable. It is unfortunate that the prices of getrags have significantly increased in value. I recall that in the past, one could be purchased for about 300 pounds. However, today they are priced at 3,000 pounds or more, which is rather astonishing.
