  1. Include me as well! My 23 Premium Turbo also has this issue, unlike my prior vehicle, the 2016 Subaru Legacy, which was somewhat bothersome. The vehicle heats up rapidly, often within a few minutes in my experience. Given our current focus on minor inconveniences: The adaptive cruise control setting is much slower compared to Subaru's performance in the recent decade. I attempted to modify both the ACC sensitivity and the following distance, but I am still unable to find a configuration where the car behaves appropriately when someone changes lanes in front of me. Instead of naturally decelerating and keeping up with the newcomer, it either does very little or enters panic mode and decelerates significantly more than required. In addition to the aforementioned concerns, it is worth noting the limited capacity of the gasoline tank.
  2. I am inquiring if the individual on the phone made an error and it is really part 51780.I intend to make a phone call and engage in a face-to-face conversation, since my first attempt to contact someone on Monday morning was met with a lack of enthusiasm. The only alternative I can conceive is using JB weld and a sheet metal component to effectively seal it. It would be unfortunate, since I am certain that there must be a component. Despite doing searches on platforms such as Youtube and Ebay, I have been unable to locate any comparable items.
  3. This is all a component of the hub. Here is an image of the latest one.
  4. Hello Bleakerje, are you referring to 41780?
  5. I am unwilling to repair the bearing until I am able to prevent water infiltration. Thank you in advance.
  6. The rear wheel bearing hub of the 2007 Kia Ceed. Hello, I need the replacement of the rear hub bearing on my vehicle. This is not due to the bearing itself failing, but rather because the ABS wheel located at the end of the bearing has undergone corrosion and decay. This phenomenon occurs due to the absence of a cap or cover on the rear, resulting in the ingress of water. I contacted Kia, who informed me that they were unaware of the specific component in question and sent me with a graphic that did not depict the item.
  7. Could you provide the name of the dealer? I am also located in the South West region. Regarding the seat and positions, I discovered that they are also dependent on the individual's profile. Although I am identified as "1" on my profile, if my wife drives the vehicle and picks her profile, I am not identified as "1" on her profile. I had believed it was inconsequential. This may not be the problem you are experiencing, but it deceived me.
  8. Greetings, do you provide a monthly auto maintenance service?
  9. The OBD mode $09 CALID represents a cryptographic value that serves as a verification of the integrity of the boot, code, and data stored in the module. In order to ascertain if a remap has been performed, the manufacturer will examine the software's part number, cross-reference it with the anticipated CALID for that particular version, and then get the real CALID from the module. If there is no match, then you have been experimenting or adjusting. If you are referring to a situation where the electronic control unit (ECU) becomes inoperable due to incorrect software flashing, it is quite unlikely to occur while using a manufacturer tool such as Xentry. The system will verify the already installed software and only provide compatible options. Subsequently, the flash boot loader in the module will do further verifications before proceeding with the upgrade.
  10. It seems like you were fortunate in that situation.
  11. What is Audi inquiring about? I have seen that these are available on eBay starting at £160. Items labelled as R8 here can have a lower price compared to those from Audi.
  12. Dymag manufactures the authentic carbon fibre barrels. I think that others have also created these products after the patents expired.
  13. Inspirli No, not the first 48 times. The repetitive opinion prompted me to take action. They installed the new Idrives on just five 8 series cars made between 3pm and 5pm on December 13, 2023. EDIT: I am joking with you. They are maintaining the status quo. The automobile seems to be in excellent condition despite its age.
  14. Will we get identical posts from 49 individuals?
  15. Additionally, it is important to check whether the heater is emitting hot air and if it is worth examining the footwell area for any moisture, particularly at the higher sections at the sides, as this might indicate a potential leak in the heater pipes.
  16. If there is no water present in the oil, it may be advisable to introduce a little amount of fluorescent dye into the system as a precautionary measure in case there is a minor leak that cannot be detected. This should be done before considering the possibility of a faulty head gasket. If there is a little leak at the thermostat housing or hose, the water will mostly evaporate by the time you lift the car's hood, especially if the engine is at operating temperature. If the head gasket were faulty, I would have anticipated some overheating or misfiring. However, I remain unconvinced that there is no leak. If the issue only occurs during long drives, it is likely that the thermostat has opened at that point. If the leak is small enough, it will likely evaporate on the side of the engine before it has a chance to drip onto the ground.
  17. Thank you, friend. It is likely one of these options or one that resembles the AMG.
  18. The rain subsided enough for me to get my vehicle cleaned and waxed for the first time since its purchase. The outcome was really satisfactory and I did not see any concerning blemishes. Regardless, I appreciate your attention.
  19. The primary factors to consider are the individual's location and age. Given that you are 28 years old, it is reasonable to assume that you would meet the requirements in this regard. Both my wife and I, who are well over 60 years old, reside on Anglesey, North Wales. We have comprehensive insurance coverage with extra protection for each of our vehicles.
  20. I neglected to inquire about your current whereabouts. Does it need to be in close proximity to London? What is the location of Essex?
