  1. What is the optimal location for purchasing automotive components, namely service items such as filters, including gearbox filters, spark plugs, fluids, and similar products? Does anyone here possess a discount for club members?
  2. I acquired the 500 for Β£50. Significantly superior to Icarsoft. Fundamental yet superior, in my opinion. Do all cars, not limited to Mercedes, also exhibit this characteristic?
  3. Each unit possesses a unique serial number that must correspond with the license on the SD card. Transferring the licence file from a pro to an mb2 using my laptop was ineffective.
  4. It appears to resemble a depleted battery.
  5. Wishing you success in your search. πŸ™‚πŸ‘
  6. I have just installed Bilstein B16s on my F33 435d Xdrive. The contrast is stark; the automobile seems more aesthetically pleasing. Now that it is no longer on stilts, the ride quality has significantly improved, and in comparison to the original configuration, this two-ton vehicle now handles like a go-kart. I have configured the damping to 50% in the front and 40% at the back, which seems satisfactory. I will be posting images shortly, so please stay tuned. In the meanwhile, feel free to enquire if you want any information.
  7. Traveled the first 100 miles in my 1966 Sportage to our vacation. The car emerged slowly from the crossroads. On Upon arrival, the front offside brake was discovered to be binding, and the brake disc was scored. Odor of incinerating brake components. The local Kia dealership is willing to examine the vehicle; however, they are unable to schedule an appointment for three weeks as it was not purchased from them. Contacted RAC about "Safe to Drive." Upon returning home, my garage informed me that Kia was aware of certain braking issues. Confirmed safe for operation. Garage requested Kia for their "technical fix." Returned the vehicle for photographs of the issue to be sent to Kia. Return to the garage for the Kia mechanic to assess the issue. Did not appear. Replacing pads and discs in the garage all around. The Sportage has reengineered calipers with enlarged brake discs. The Kia Factory acknowledges the existence of many known concerns with the brakes on the Sportage. Symptoms may include screaming brake sounds, the car veering to one side, or ineffective braking. Certain defective brake pads damage the disk and exhibit uneven wear. Occasionally, certain vehicles throughout the UK exhibit the same issue. KX-2 134 horsepower Automatic
  8. The M50, M52, and M54 engines were exceptional, with no reports of chain failure. Subsequent models appear to have chains of inferior quality, and the injectors were reasonably priced and generally durable.
  9. I propose disconnecting the battery for a duration of ten minutes to reset the values.
  10. Discovered this: https://www.benzworld.org/threads/malfunctioning-loading-assist-easy-pack.3028032/
  11. I haven't observed it, to be frank. It is. The vehicle is now inoperable.
  12. It would be desirable to have such capability included into the idrive system as a standard feature. I am still astonished that the e60 model does not have a temperature gauge, which is quite astonishing.
  13. Investing in cleaning a dead diesel particulate filter (DPF) is futile since it will not revive its functionality. Similarly, a cleansed DPF will have a limited lifespan. Additives and other liquids are included with the intention of generating profit. This is only a marketing ploy with no other purpose.
  14. I feel the same way. If my travel is 5 minutes, I will extend it to 20 minutes in order to adequately warm up the engine and allow it to accelerate on a less congested route or dual carriageway.
  15. None of the chemicals will effectively preserve your diesel particulate filter (DPF). Only engage in extended periods of continuous running without any pauses and with a completely warmed-up engine.
