  1. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
  2. The response is much appreciated. Twenty years ago, I got a car with three keysβ€”the one I use now is one of them. It is possible to transform the barcode that the dealer provided me with into the code that the BeCM requires. That service is provided by Blackbox Solutions, however they claim to be unable to continue doing so at this time. I had a key specialist in the UK who came highly recommended on this site rebuild key no. 2, as key no. 1 went missing. Even though the P38 is starting and driving now, I'm worried that it won't communicate properly with the car if I use key nr. 2 and set the market using my Blackbox lite, even though this has worked before. My next stop is at the dealer's.
  3. Hi there, Given that Blackbox is unable to furnish me with the necessary code to enable the BeCM to acquire a new keyfob, I must enquire: If I set the market in the BeCM to "middle-east," would the imobiliser function be disabled but central locking still work when I enter the keyfob into the doorlock and turn it to open and close while holding the button? Right now, it says "market not set" on the screen, so the car starts, but the central locking doesn't work and it has forgotten that it has a sunroof. The whole thing started when the bodyshop lost the fully operational keyfob. So, to reiterate: the market is set to the Middle East; how does this impact the imobiliser function? We deeply value your assistance.
  4. For goodness' sake. It pertains entirely to the governance of the populace. The owner will not be deterred from remaining in the car while it idles to facilitate defrosting, ensuring safe driving with unobstructed windows.
  5. 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?
  6. 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?
  7. 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.
  8. It appears to resemble a depleted battery.
  9. Wishing you success in your search. πŸ™‚πŸ‘
  10. 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.
  11. 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
  12. 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.
  13. I propose disconnecting the battery for a duration of ten minutes to reset the values.
  14. Discovered this: https://www.benzworld.org/threads/malfunctioning-loading-assist-easy-pack.3028032/
  15. I haven't observed it, to be frank. It is. The vehicle is now inoperable.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. While there is a little possibility that it may be anything else, it is quite unlikely. Ideally, I would have charged the new batteries before installing it. However, if that was not possible, it may take several days for the cell to reach a sufficient charge level to enable the stop/start function. Additionally, there are many additional conditions that need to be fulfilled for the function to operate. In my own opinion, I would recommend waiting for a period of around one week before making any more decisions or taking any actions. Please inform us of the outcome. πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»
  21. The navigation system may be upgraded at no cost, however it requires some patience to complete the process. Adhere to these instructions for the FSC code: Access and retrieve the 2024 maps from this location: https://oemnavigations.com/products/road-map-europe-west-premium
  22. Consider using chrome polish since it is both effective and affordable.
  23. Could it be related to the concept of velocity? Yes, there are little pieces of double-sided tape on all the deflectors, but it is not sufficiently adhesive on some of them. I have attempted to get the desired items, but it seems that they are no longer accessible.
  24. What I have seen, particularly with heko ones, as they are the most widely liked kind. The most recent set I purchased was equipped with plastic clips, whereas the previous ones were equipped with metal clips. The metallic ones may be flexed to provide a more snug fit for the deflectors. The plastic ones are incapable of doing so. Did I have bad luck with the clips, or have others also had issues with the plastic clips? However, it is possible to purchase stainless steel.Products purchased from the online retailer Amazon.
  25. Tesla with a value of 430,000 dollars.
