    I am uncertain. If he is an automated programme, he responded with a reply. I recommend doing more study on this topic, since it is an excellent source of information.
  2. My spouse is visiting her son in a city known for barcodes this weekend. It's a little riverfront community with just one prominent football club that has high aspirations, unlike Norwich. Yesterday, she texted me while I was doing basic inspections on her Hyundai as I had promised to do while she was out. Her 'Bluelink' application, similar to KIA Connect, alerted her that her automobile was not secured. After I had moved a considerable distance from the vehicle, I read the message and was certain that I had locked it. However, I decided it was wise to double-check, since life would be unbearable if, heaven forbid, she came back to discover an empty garage! The vehicle was locked, but I checked each door handle, hood, and trunk opening to confirm. The 'Bluelink' feature, similar to 'KIA Connect,' has limited functionalities in non-electric vehicles but may send early alerts of potential criminal activity even when the car and owner are over 300 miles away. The automotive industry has been slow to adopt technology that has long been used in aeroplanes, yet we are now closer than ever to achieving autonomous automobiles. Considering the basic technology now available to engineers at leading automobile manufacturers, the possibilities are uncertain. Youthful viewers of this content may find enjoyment in engaging in activities such as crocheting or doing crossword puzzles as our cherished possessions swiftly take us to our desired destinations.
  3. The VW Atlas is a three-row vehicle with one of the biggest interior spaces, whereas the Cross Sport is a two-row vehicle with a shorter body on a same size chassis. The Cross Sport has a revised rear to give it a dynamic flair and offers ample inside passenger and baggage room. Could this be a comparison between the CX70 and CX90?
  4. Thank you! Will the dealer automatically fix components such as the steering wheel, suspension, and prop shaft, or do you need to provide proof to the dealer? Are these concerns common and applicable to all automobiles manufactured in 2022-2023? According to the dealer, my automobile was manufactured in 2023, but the exact date is unknown to me. It was delivered in November 2023. Can I verify this with the VIN?
  5. I need to review these settings in order to record my journeys. I will be sure to record the percentages today when I park the vehicle. I have seen discussions about cars experiencing difficulties entering sleep mode, but it was apparently resolved by the most recent software update, which my dealer confirmed they had loaded before delivering the vehicle to me.
  6. Thank you, I will review the percentages today. I am reducing my time spent in traffic by departing earlier. I cover around 15 km in about 30 minutes on my journey. I am not use pre-heating, which I assume is activated via a mobile app. What is the most effective method to measure kilowatt-hour use for short trips? I only notice the average energy consumption shown on the right side of the driver's panel, indicating about 38-39 kW/h for every 100 km.
  7. Hello, Seeking guidance from more seasoned owners. I acquired my automobile two weeks ago and have drove it 500 km to date. I charge my automobile at the workplace upon my arrival to work. During the present winter conditions in the EU, my electric vehicle is achieving a maximum mileage of 35 km. My workplace is situated 15 kilometres away from my home. Upon reaching my parking space, I typically have around 20 kilometres of charge remaining. I will come at about 5pm. My issue is that the next morning, when I travel to work at approximately 8 am, I discover just 9-10km remaining instead of the expected 20 km. Is this typical throughout winter? The present nighttime temperature drops to about -2 degrees Celsius. Recently, there has been little drainage or just a few km, even during colder nights. It seems to be some arbitrary depletion. Should I reach out to my dealer or is this behaviour typical throughout winter? Thank you in advance
  8. The government's inflationary policies have allowed firms to take advantage of consumers. Their greed is excessive.
  9. I recommend changing the oil every 5,000 miles at most to prolong the lifespan of the valve/cam and timing chain, benefiting their internal mechanisms.
  10. RMK, located in Small Heath, Birmingham, has the capability to provide the OP with a new keyfob for their SL. http://www.replacementmercedeskeys.co.uk/contact-us/
  11. £3,500 The user expresses pain or discomfort. Discard it and get a late model c180 petrol 204.
  12. The issue was ultimately caused by the timing of the fuel pumps, which had become misaligned. After performing the necessary timing adjustment, the engine has been working reliably ever since.
  13. Very well, I will proceed to substitute the pump and filter and observe the outcome.
  14. The possibility of a battery issue has been eliminated. However, I have discovered an observation that may provide a clue in the correct direction. When recording the live data during a cold start, the fuel pressure on the rail reads 570kpa with the key on. After starting the engine and experiencing misfiring and a decrease in performance when accelerating, the fuel pressure only fluctuates between 530-600kpa. Furthermore, when I press the throttle, the fuel pressure drops down to 400kpa. Considering that fuel thickens when cold due to its oil-based nature, it is plausible that the issue lies with either the in-tank pump or the filter.
  15. That is an excellent suggestion. Thank you for sharing it. I will definitely use it.
  16. Currently, I am excluding timing as a potential culprit since after the vehicle has reached its optimal operating temperature, it functions normally. However, after parking the car and attempting to start it again, these error codes appear. Upon observation, I have seen that the battery voltage drops below 12 when this issue occurs. I have previously changed both the battery and alternator. Could a battery drain be the reason of this issue?
  17. It seems that the issue lies in the fact that the high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) was changed, but the problem persisted. However, when inspecting the timing chain, it was seen to be excessively worn. Fortunately, I possess the necessary skills to do the task of replacing the timing chain, although it will need a significant amount of time. I appreciate all the assistance provided! Upon inspection, it was seen that the timing chain was excessively loose. The automobile was then used until it reached a warm temperature, during which it performed well. Subsequently, the timing chain was reexamined and found to be securely tightened. What are your thoughts?
  18. The vehicle in question is a 2012 Range Rover Supercharged with an AJ133 engine. It has accumulated a mileage of 165,000 km. Hello, I shall endeavour to provide a comprehensive amount of info in this article. This is my first personal Rover, having previously worked on several others without encountering this particular difficulty. During first startup, the engine operates in an uneven manner and results in limited performance. However, after it reaches the optimal operating temperature and I reset the error codes, it functions flawlessly. The engine exhibits a significant amount of tapping noises, however it has been reported that this is within the expected range of operation. During frigid temperatures, the high pressure fuel sensor indicates a reading of 54 psi. However, as the temperature increases, the sensor registers a range of 2000-2400 psi. At this juncture, the limited performance notification ceases to appear and the system functions optimally. DTC P00108-0 indicates a permanent high input in the MAP/Barometric sensor. P0088-00 is a pending historic code. The fuel pressure is too high. There is a pending fault code P0087-00 indicating that the fuel pressure is too low. P0300 indicates the presence of pending random misfires. The codes P0301-P0308 Engine misfires occur on all cylinders. P0316 indicates a misfire that occurs at the startup of the engine. Any assistance would be very appreciated; I would much prefer not to randomly replace components without a clear solution.
  19. Uncertain about the specific car, I experienced front spring failures in both vehicles. In one of them, the failure was not immediately apparent during the initial inspection. The lower part of the spring had sheared off but remained approximately in its proper position. It was only when the mechanic lifted the car with a jack that he discovered half of a coil had sheared off from the bottom of the spring, which explained the sensation I felt while driving. He extracted the problematic loose fragment to demonstrate it to me, and thereafter exhibited the failing spring, clearly revealing the sheared region.
  20. I share the same perspective - I would have assumed that this undermines the fundamental purpose of securing the keys.
  21. The CLC is the only variation of the W203/C203 model that was equipped with NTG2.5, whereas the preceding models of W203/C203 were equipped with NTG2. The NTG2.5 system is compatible with the facelift version of the W203, however it cannot be installed in the pre-facelift models. In any case, none of the original infotainment systems installed in the W203/C203 variations (including the C208/A208) provide the CarPlay feature. To get Apple CarPlay in these vehicles, the only method is to replace the original head unit with one of the many aftermarket Android units available.
  22. In my opinion, the compatibility of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with the car's infotainment system is the most important factor. The specific system you have is not significant. Although there may be car-specific menu options that require temporarily exiting CarPlay to access them, CarPlay (or Android Auto) is sufficient for essential functions such as navigation, calls, messages, and voice commands while driving. That is my own experience, anyway. Both my Hyundai and Suzuki vehicles are equipped with high-end entertainment systems, and I mostly use smartphone connectivity for 90% of my usage.
  23. Excellent job and thank you for dedicating your time and effort to creating the instructional. If you permit, I will include this information in the "How to" section.
