  1. If the system is totally emptied, a pressure bleeder must be used in conjunction with the ABS bleeding method in diagnostics.
  2. Enquire about the advantages that a software upgrade will bring to your £100.
  3. Indeed, it is an advantageous price! Enquire with MB about their pricing and they will provide confirmation.
  4. Indeed, I speculated that the issue may be related to emissions in the more recent A4 model as well. It also has the feature of automatic start-stop.
  5. Indeed, I ought to consult an expert. The dealer believes that the issue is within the typical range and not a cause for concern. I would want to ascertain if others had a similar experience or whether their vehicles remain in second gear during the whole journey. Particularly TDIs.
  6. Greetings, everyone. I own a 2019 A5 sportback 40 TDI. The vehicle is now at the dealership, where they have offered a 2022 A4 40 TFSI as a complimentary replacement car. After using it for a week, I discovered that it only moves down from 2nd gear to 1st gear when coming to a full stop. My auto engages in downshifting much in advance of that. When moving at around 1 km per hour or slower, the vehicle shifts into first gear. I operated the A4 vehicle at a very slow pace, and it only shifts to first gear when it comes to a full halt. Is there a malfunction in my A5 or do varied gear ratios determine whether some automobiles downshift before coming to a stop? My vehicle has accumulated a mileage of 25,000 kilometres, whereas the A4 has reached 32,000 km.
  7. Utilise diagnostic tools to monitor the level of particulate matter accumulation in the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). Once the DPF approaches its maximum capacity, go on an extended journey.
  8. Visit Veloce the Vault in San Diego. It is a facility designed for storing and housing high-performance luxury cars, as well as serving as a social gathering place. Members participate in rallies, cars and coffee events, and other activities. They may choose from several levels of membership. Additionally, there are also Fast Lane Drive members present who partake in very thrilling drives. This location is an excellent spot for socialising and spending time, particularly for those who have a strong interest in cars. I store my R8 in that location, which is really an invigorating environment. It is frequented by a variety of new exotics, classics, and super vehicles on a daily basis.
  9. I find it astonishing that the presence of your wife inside the vehicle, while it was locked, did not trigger the internal motion sensor alert that is activated when the car is secured outside. It is presumed that your automobile is equipped with an internal sensor, since you have not specified the make and model of your car.
  10. I concur, but, I have developed a tendency towards indolence and have become used to the vehicle effortlessly unlocking as soon as I approach it, without the need to rummage through my luggage to get the key or remove it from a Faraday pouch. I have only recollected misplacing my luggage in the vehicle on one occasion before, therefore making it an exceedingly rare occurrence. The incident occurred due to the fact that the other half (OH) placed my luggage in the footwell while being a passenger, and I deviated from my customary procedure of immediately retrieving it from the passenger seat. I appreciate ArthurCollins2 for sharing his story of inadvertently leaving the keys inside the baggage. The OH engages in such behaviour, often occurring subsequent to the removal of the bags from the vehicle and our departure towards the airport.
  11. I am relieved that I am not the only foolish or incompetent person! I believe we ultimately succeeded in securing it. It was not until later that I realised the true nature of the situation when I searched for my suitcase. During the first days, I saw a few potential "deficiencies" in the vehicle's performance, but each time the car emitted a sound or exhibited a behaviour, there was always a valid explanation.
  12. Based on my own observation, the vehicle would not engage the locking mechanism if there was an additional key present inside its interior. During the first days of automobile ownership, it failed to lock when both of us exited. Eventually, I came to the realisation that my luggage, along with my key, was still inside.
  13. Congratulations on acquiring the new motor with your Fidelity extended warranty coverage! As a merchant of Fidelity extended warranty coverage, I am not surprised by the ease of the process, but it is still gratifying to hear! For anybody interested in obtaining the Fidelity extended warranty coverage for their BMW M6, please find my contact information below.
  14. Wouldn't it be more convenient to arrive at Heathrow by air?
  15. After conversing with the garage, they provided me with the assurance that Mercedes-approved vehicles undergo comprehensive inspections prior to being sold. Additionally, they told me that any potential issues would be detected during the diagnostic process. Although I am inclined to trust them, there is still some scepticism. The sound is incongruous to me, but it might be typical for Mercedes vehicles. I was seeking clarification or identification with the assistance of others on this site.
  16. I appreciate your suggestion. Does timing chain noise persist consistently independent of the engine's temperature?
  17. I took the vehicle for a trip this morning and listened to it both before and after. When the engine was not warmed up, I did not perceive any sound. However, after returning from a trip of around 30 minutes, I noticed the presence of a clicking noise.
  18. Does anybody else have any more ideas? I am interested in determining the specific component responsible for producing the noise and understanding the underlying cause.
  19. Thank you for responding. The engine had a consistent sound regardless of its temperature, as far as I could discern. Indeed, the volume may have been intensified in the video due to the proximity of my phone to the engine. However, the noise is sufficiently enough to be audible even when the car's hood is closed and one is standing behind it.
  20. Thank you for your response. Are you aware of the specific component from which it is originating? I have not had that issue with any of my previous vehicles, which were all equipped with 6-cylinder diesel engines.
  21. Greetings, everybody. Thank you in advance for any thoughts or ideas. I have just purchased my first Mercedes vehicle and want assistance in discerning an unfamiliar sound emanating from under the hood, a sound that I have not encountered in my previous experiences with other automobile brands. This phenomenon occurs while the car's engine is in a state of idling and manifests as a distinct clicking or ticking sound, like the regular ticking of a clock every second. Should I be worried about this? What is the potential origin? If anybody is interested, I have captured the audio and published it to YouTube for anyone who would want to listen.
  22. Apologies. I apologise for any confusion in my previous message. The vehicle in question is a 2011 mk2 model. I believe the videos are of mediocre quality.
  23. This is a second generation model from 2011. I suppose the videos are of the first generation.
  24. Thank you. I will provide a concise explanation. Does the image correspond to the proper sensor?
