  1. I had one purchased from the dealer—it cost about 350 EUR—and had the body shop cover the expense.
  2. What matters most for early clutch wear is how the clutch has been handled by prior owners, not the mileage or history of the vehicle.
  3. Does it have an automatic or manual gearbox? Contrary to what you said, a manual gearbox cannot slip; nevertheless, the clutch may.
  4. With a manual gearbox? It is unclear, but it is what the original poster implied in the title of the post.
  5. Sure thing. If we decide to change cars in the future, I will have a really hard time finding one. 4-plus FTW. Comfy seats are the greatest!
  6. Affirmative - established till 2027
  7. Indeed, it originates from Tesla. The guarantee is valid for two years and includes a $700 deductible, a feature I have not before encountered in warranties. The warranty costs $2000. The intention is to retain the vehicle, which has approximately 104,000 kilometres on it.
  8. I received an email regarding an extended warranty for the Model 3 battery. Is it valuable?
  9. Asbestos has been prohibited in Australia since 2003; thus, it cannot be the cause.
  10. That seems and resonates as magnificent. What a delightful and enjoyable memory for all of you. Premier position.
  11. I am involved with Ant, indeed, I have changed allegiances. I will ascertain the real reference of the display; nonetheless, it remains possible that it may be accurate.
  12. I have replaced both nearside wheels on the SLK. I assume that the TPMS will report on their previous wheel placement? Is it possible to reset and return them to their proper 'side' using iCarsoft, or is this a task for Xentry/STAR? Alternatively, do they reset automatically, allowing the vehicle to recognize the new locations independently? I will operate the vehicle and use the iCarsoft when I get the opportunity tomorrow, but I am curious if anybody has knowledge or experience with this. I needed to get the NSF refinished on the diamond-cut rim of the black AMG wheel due to my own error. The individual said that both the front and rear near-side wheels had been serviced once or twice before and had no remaining lip. Anticipating the likelihood of requiring further attention, I compensated my regular tire fitters to replace them.
  13. Contemplation. That seemed to evoke the sentiment, "If it seems too good to be true..."
  14. Thank you, RosaStyle. However, they are distinct belts? Both systems operate from the harmonic balancer pulley, hence I fail to get how the AC load may affect the serpentine belt and power steering. I just can not comprehend it. Does the AC belt need the serpentine belt for operation?
  15. Greetings to everybody. I have a loss of power steering accompanied by a battery warning light when I turn the steering wheel. My brother inspected the engine compartment and saw the serpentine belt come to a standstill, so preventing the alternator from charging temporarily. I think the steering pump or a loose belt. I shall assess the stress today. The confusion arises from the fact that the problem significantly exacerbates and occurs instantaneously when I use the air conditioning. Both seem to own distinct belts, which is rather peculiar! The problem alleviates after the vehicle has been driven for a short duration, occurring mostly while executing a hard left or right turn, and is significantly exacerbated with the air conditioning on. Additionally, after deactivating the air conditioning, I saw an increase in miles per gallon by 4 mpg. Do you have any suggestions?
