  1. It is fortunate that you may continue to operate your vehicle without any safety concerns. There have been several reports, not only on this platform but also on other Kia Sportage forums, about the malfunctioning of the parking brake switch/lever. It seems that this component is not sufficiently durable when used often.
  2. Will the lever function properly if Auto Hold is selected? I have never used the lever on these vehicles before, but the Auto Hold feature has consistently functioned well.
  3. I have never seen any instances of regeneration in any of my automobiles, despite their good condition.
  4. Now that we understand its function, we can attribute the whirring noise coming from the back to it. Thank you for providing clarification. I must confess that initially, I had doubts about my ability to do the task until I searched for a tutorial on YouTube.
  5. Turn the ignition key to position 1. Disengage the parking brake. Three Activate the trip metre display on the dashboard readout using the controls located on the steering wheel. Simultaneously press and hold the phone answer button and the ok button for a brief duration. This action will prompt the appearance of a menu containing five options, one of which is labelled as "rear brake pad setting" or similar. Proceed by following the instructions displayed on the screen. Upon successful deactivation, a sound will be emitted from the rear of the car. After completing the replacement of the brake pads and discs, return to the dashboard and adhere to the instructions provided to reactivate the brake pad setting.When you will hear that sound once again. Simply return to the regular screen. I have completed my task, and it took me a total of 2 hours, which I consider to be a satisfactory amount of time. Additionally, I took a break to have a cup of tea.
  6. I am uncertain. I purchased the brake pads and discs from my Mercedes-Benz dealer. Along with the pads, I received a booklet with a cautionary notice to disable the Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) system. When I searched on Google and clicked on a YouTube instructional, the "how to" video appeared as expected. I followed the instructions and, lo and behold, it performs just as expected.
  7. I have it, and I can turn it off. "What is it actually doing?" was the question. I can only hear a buzzing sound.
  8. I want to replace the rear brake pads and discs on my vehicle and have discovered the process of disabling the sensotronic brake control system. I would want to know the specific functionality and purpose of this. Does anybody have a response to this inquiry, please?
  9. It seems as if you have much experience in handling vintage automobiles! A "brake spoon" is the appropriate instrument for this task, since it has a crank at the end that greatly facilitates adjustment. The handbrake shoe retainer is not faulty. Death comes suddenly and unexpectedly, much like the iconic Volkswagen, Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes cars from the past.
  10. Typically, one would do such. I failed to perceive your statement on the phenomenon of disappearance when speeding. It may be beneficial to temporarily exchange injectors 1 and 4 and restart the engine to see whether the noise shifts to cylinder 1. I suspected that my engine's fuel injector was also faulty, since the symptoms did not like the typical signs of previous major engine failures I had experienced in the past. I discovered metal fragments after draining the oil, so I removed the engine and disassembled it.
  11. It is difficult to determine from the video due to the typical noise of a diesel engine. However, based on your description, it seems to closely like the sound of the N47 engine in my wife's previous vehicle when I purchased it. The large end bearing for cylinder number 4 has experienced spinning and significant erosion, resulting in complete wear. Require a new rod and crankshaft.
  12. I made a purchase via the online marketplace eBay, whereas my particular and selective friend made a purchase directly from the luxury automobile manufacturer BMW. Both sets occurred simultaneously, lasting around four years, if I recall correctly. You may choose between purchasing one set of authentic items or acquiring a collection of eBay items that spans a period of 20 years.
  13. Hello, I have corresponded via email with the individual on eBay ….. I am experiencing little satisfaction since he claims to own the pump, despite it not being stated, and my spouse inexplicably gave him a sum of Β£1. He instructed me to click on the link, but it refused to load. Appears quite peculiar. My only objective is to purchase a pump.
  14. Greetings, I appreciate your response. I purchased an item from China, however it did not fit despite the absence of copper in the advertisement. I am uncertain whether it is the reason for the issue. Thank you. I will attempt to access the link as I urgently need it. Finding the appropriate fit is a challenging task. Thank you one again.
  15. Greetings, I need assistance with a high pressure fuel pump for my 2010 Mini Cooper S. I am open to purchasing second-hand items, given the cost of buying new ones is now above Β£600. I purchased one from Frugo, but regrettably, it did not fit. My specific component number is v75924298011c. I kindly want assistance since I am a caretaker and require my vehicle to transport me to see my fragile senior clients. Thank you in advance.
  16. Indeed. I agree with Chris Harris and his admiration for the M5 Touring.
  17. An efficient autonomous vehicle is as distant as economically viable nuclear fusion and a genuine general artificial intelligence. Dealing with the challenges of image processing in driving, together with the many failure possibilities of sensors, has not been adequately addressed in current driverless algorithms.
  18. No work has been done on the automobile. Perhaps it is a recent addition that I have not previously seen.
  19. Upon further examination, it seems that the peeling is caused by black mould around the liners. The criticism about scratches is inaccurate since the appearance of scratches in the picture is due to the lighting, not actual scratches in that region. I am considering using black touchup instead of dealing with the inconvenience of going via the dealer. What are your thoughts?
  20. Has anybody else had this issue with an A Class AMG Line? The paint on my vehicle is peeling around the back tyre despite it having just 21000 kilometres. It is a 20 plate. Is this area covered by the warranty? Thank you
  21. Perform a sniff test to detect exhaust gases in the coolant, which may indicate early indicators of water pump failure while the coolant is being expelled by the pump pulley. Has the pressure cap been inspected?
  22. And an AMG as well, Ant. πŸ™„πŸ˜‰πŸ™‚πŸ‘
  23. Examine the Blue Efficiency versions of the 2014 E250 and E350 before the introduction of AdBlu.
  24. I use two CTEKS, one for each of my vehicles, including the R8. These devices have been in my possession for some years and have functioned well.
