  1. Unfortunately, no. It is peculiar that the vehicle was functioning well earlier today, but after replacing the coil pack, I am now receiving a battery fob warning on both key fobs. Is it possible that there is an alternative explanation?
  2. Greetings, I am now experiencing the illumination of a caution light on the dashboard. I have come across information stating that it is not possible to change the battery in the device and that a new fob is required instead. Salutations
  3. Kumho tyres are not suitable for use on a Porsche. Michelin, Goodyear, or Continental.
  4. Currently, I suspect that fidelity is searching through my waste containers. I believe that I do not subject my automobile to the same level of strain as others who regularly participate in car racing. And I believe that I do not exert excessive force on the vehicle in comparison to other owners. I have recently accumulated a significant distance on the vehicle. Given the extensive mileage on the highway, I believe it should easily be able to cover a further 50,000 to 100,000 miles without any issues. I am uncertain about retaining ownership of the item after the warranty expires at 108,000 miles. I anticipate acquiring it within a year or sooner, and I am likely to do the same with either a 2020-2023 R8 or a Lamborghini. In my opinion, the 2014 V8 is a superior choice for everyday use compared to other alternatives.
  5. I lack the proficiency to engage in any sophisticated drift driving. However, I was ignorant of the possibility for detrimental effects on the automobile due to its all-wheel drive (AWD) system. Today, I was unable to do the task since I was occupied at work instructing others on how to perform their job, despite the fact that they are already being paid to do it without my guidance. Today has been very exasperating and devoid of enjoyment, and now I find myself stationed at the airport, awaiting the arrival of my flight which has been delayed. Considering the principles of Karma, such as my recent experience of noting my intact windscreen for 90,000 miles just to have it shatter the next day, it seems likely that I will face a series of challenging days ahead. I am now feeling quite annoyed with everyone around me. That behaviour is uncharacteristic of me, since I often exhibit rationality. However, there is no need to be concerned. Tomorrow, I will be driving the R8 for a 5-hour journey and I want to locate one of those designated highway locations to accelerate at high speed! Furthermore, could someone provide information on the most exceptional cheesesteak establishment in Philadelphia? Tomorrow, I have a two-hour timeframe to search for the finest option available in the city. I believe the establishment I frequented throughout the 1990s was maybe named Pat's, but I am uncertain. I make a conscious effort to steer out of Philadelphia, just as I do with Detroit! I remember that there were two prominent contenders for the title of the greatest cheesesteak in Philadelphia.
  6. Tomorrow, I will be taking my vehicle to get the windscreen, oil and tyres replaced. The tread on my front tyres has worn down to the wear bar, and I would want to replace them with new tyres. What is the most effective method for deliberately causing a set of tyres to produce smoke? Previously, I visited a designated location for snowploughs that was not on a public road. The area was covered with pavement, similar in size to two football fields. I proceeded to engage the Traction Control system and attempted to intentionally damage the tyres at a rapid pace. Is it possible for me to accelerate to a speed of around 30 miles per hour, abruptly turn the steering wheel, and accelerate rapidly without the use of traction control? What is the precise method for driving in order to intentionally cause a pair of tyres to emit smoke?
  7. I am uncertain about the restored electroplate. A new one must be programmed using MB STAR diagnostics. Encountered this issue with CLK around a decade ago.
  8. Apologies for revisiting an old discussion, but I am experiencing the same problem with my device. The Remap, DPF Delete, and EGR have been removed. Has anybody thoroughly investigated this matter? Is the remap responsible for this phenomenon?
  9. Instances have occurred when the central core of a coax has fractured, resulting in a solitary and fragile strand. It is fair to exclude it by verifying the presence of 12 volts at the amplifier.
  10. Does the FM amplifier have a canbus connection? Although it is conceivable that it is under the direction of SAM, I fail to see a rational justification for that particular design. Derived from the HU, this approach is straightforward. It seemed odd for the HU to instruct the SAM to regulate the amplifier, even for MB.
  11. Indeed, with a twin Fakra, the 12V will be sent to the antenna amplifier via one side of the central core. Does any of them possess power?
  12. Typically, the FM antenna amplifier is supplied with power from the HU rather than the SAM. The Chinese HU's output consistently appears as blue. However, if your Ali express unit is specifically built to be plug and play for your model, the ISO connection will handle this issue. It is fairly uncommon for these devices to come defective. The first step would include verifying that the blue output attains a voltage of 12 volts (+ve) when selecting the tuner. At the ISO, I anticipate a voltage of 12 volts in blue, whereas the extra blue voltage would be associated with one of the other plugs. There is no issue with using it to power the amplifier if necessary. Alternatively, verify that the amplifier has a voltage of 12 volts when required. However, if the FM was satisfactory before, it should be sufficient at this point. PS. The GPS would lack power, hence I concur with your assumption that power is absent, however it would be located at the amplifier.
  13. It might be a blown fuse or loose connections within the device. I believe there are more affordable aftermarket options available, but I have not personally tested them. The item should be located below the plastic cover, behind the battery, near the bulkhead. The item is made of aluminium with a silver finish and has a transparent plastic top. The object is about one cubic inch in size and 2-3 inches in height.
  14. The OVP relay will be the cause. Have you recently charged or jump-started the car?
  15. I recommend hiring someone to both provide and install the item - no questions asked. I speak from firsthand experience. Your profile lacks information about your location, which hinders our ability to propose a local supplier for your needs.
  16. The engine should not produce a whining noise. It may be audible from the outside, but it should not be heard from the inside. Initially, I was surprised by how quiet my vehicle was inside, especially while driving at high speeds on the road. Minimal wind noise, mostly tyre noise, with the engine remaining quiet until acceleration, at which point the V8 sound may be heard in the background. The performance may be described as rather satisfactory. There have been occasions when I want more and regretted not getting the 5.5 instead πŸ˜‰ The M113 5.0 is quite durable. Transitioning from a turbodiesel engine to a petrol one may result in a perceived decrease in middle power, since petrol engines need higher revs to generate power compared to the torque surge seen in turbodiesels. I wouldn't use it for a daily 4-mile commute to work since the engine wouldn't reach its optimal working temperature.
  17. What is the year of your automobile and what is the desired stated value? I too have State Farm insurance and my premium is far lower than the price you received. Please private message me so we can have a conversation.
  18. I am consistently intrigued by Mrmerlin's statements. Assist me in gaining a better understanding of these engines. I had always believed that these vehicles are equipped with a timing belt rather than a chain. Mrmerlins response has left me very confused. Can you provide more details on Mrmerlin?
  19. I get my vehicle serviced around every 7,500 miles. Considering the book's need of about 16,000, I believe 7,500 is sufficient. I use a Fram filter and Rotella 5W-30 full synthetic oil. My vehicle has 129,000 miles on it and it runs well. Excluding the DEF mistakes I often encounter. An error message indicating the inability to restart the engine will likely appear when the remaining distance is 249 miles and decreasing. Remain calm. You will not be able to restart the engine, but you will have previously acquired a code reader tool to reset it if you are not near a dealer. You may either visit a dealer or inspect the injector yourself if you do your own maintenance. You can locate the discussions on these matters. This is a prevalent issue.
  20. Experience Istanbul - the taxi driver was multitasking by making phone calls (without handsfree), using satnav on the same phone, driving a manual automobile, honking the horn, and yelling insults to everyone. He did not dare to glance when shifting gears.
  21. I am not familiar with it either. I would love to listen to how it sounds!
  22. The dimensions shown in the illustration are 235 millimetres in width, 60 millimetres in height, and 18 inches in length.
  23. Facebook marketplace. Corby. Located in close proximity to Kettering. To properly configure a GLS, it is essential to have accurate information on the ET offset and tyre sizes. πŸ‘
