Transmission malfunction - Only a limited number of gears are accessible.
Videoman replied to CrawlerTagz's topic in General
The gearbox may display the F fault when it becomes overheated, such as during hot weather, uphill driving, or when subjected to heavy loads. Nevertheless, using this method will result in the illumination of an orange fault indicator on the dashboard, indicating the presence of a recorded problem in the system. The issue resolves spontaneously after the gearbox has been idle and has sufficiently cooled down. -
As previously stated by others, the task of PDR is anticipated to be challenging. Working with aluminium is more challenging, and it is doubtful that paintless dent repair (PDR) can effectively address the severity and position of the dents. An advantage is that the quarter panel of the R8 may be easily removed without the need for cutting or welding

If only I had a practical use for anything of that kind...

Unless the automobile is of high quality, I am not interested. However, the tyres can be simply replaced. It is common for many individuals, even authorised dealers, to install cheaper tyres when they anticipate selling the car shortly. The expense of expensive tyres does not contribute to the resale value of a pre-owned vehicle. It may perhaps be a matter of negotiation, but that is the extent of its significance.

I have used Khumo tyres on a high-performance vehicle and have been very satisfied with their performance in both wet and dry conditions. Frankly, I would prefer using almost any tyres over the PZero. Unless you reside in a warm climate, these tyres fail to reach their optimal temperature range in the UK. Moreover, when they are cold, they provide far less information and indication about when they are about to lose traction compared to other tyres I have used. Based on your use, it is unlikely that you would notice significant variations in tyre performance, with the exception of road noise and comfort.

That is a commendable contribution.

There is a lack of minerals.

Regular cleaning ensures that residue and dust may be readily removed using soap, water, and a high-quality brush set.

Greetings, everybody. I had previously been a member on this platform, but I had to reregister since I forgot my login credentials. Regrettably, I have recently been depending on Facebook groups and generally neglecting the boards. There is no benefit to this. I am experiencing a persistent fault code on my E60 535d LCI. Specifically, I am consistently receiving a 41aa code. According to the DIS, this code indicates that the boost pressure is too high, which is not consistent with the pressure before the particulate filter and ambient pressure. I am becoming more disillusioned with this situation. Thus far, I have been compelled to replace both boost pressure converters, the map sensor, and vac lines on many occasions. Can anybody provide assistance in determining the next course of action? Kindly! LOL Thank you very much.

Signature Wheels provide excellent value for the price. I would not classify them as inexpensive representatives. They have resemblance to products offered by BC Forged. I have a deep affection for my.

In the W205 model, there is usually a capacitor, rather than a large lead acid battery, located under the carpet in the passenger footwell. In addition, a malfunctioning dash will trigger an error notice.

The answer to your question is contingent upon your definition of 'the same'. The batteries installed in the plant are solely manufactured by Varta for MB and cannot be directly purchased from Varta. Nevertheless, it is evident that you have the option to purchase other Varta-manufactured battery types that are compatible with your Mercedes Benz.

Although I am uncertain of the exact proportion, I have seen a significant number of individuals successfully drilling into the sturdy metal base of the active wing without encountering any problems, unlike if it were made of plastic. However, I am uncertain about the durability of this at high speeds, if that is your intention. If you want to proceed with acquiring all the necessary components, I am certain that R8-Stuff will be able to assist you in obtaining them.

The essential components needed are: 4S0 827 567 A, 4S8 827 699 A, and 4S8 827 937 3FZ. In addition, you will want the appropriate hardware to securely fasten these components to both the automobile and the wing. You must have this component (4S8 827 699 A) painted to match the vehicle. Upon careful consideration of all the aforementioned factors, it becomes evident why some individuals emphasise the need of firmly establishing their stock base spoiler.

Is it an original V10+ wing from the manufacturer or a replacement wing made by the factory? If such is the case, the appropriate course of action would be to purchase the metal base plate that serves as a replacement for the complete base of the R8 pop-up wing. The wing is fastened to the base plate, which in turn is secured to the automobile, instead of being simply connected to the movable base wing. I have seen several individuals just affixing it to the original wing base of the manufacturer and programming the wing to prevent lift, resulting in a problem-free experience. However, it is uncertain whether it is the course of action you choose to pursue. Furthermore, the act of programming the rear wing at a price of $550 is utterly irrational.

If it returns, it will lead to one of two options: 1) Timing chain directs residue obstructing the sump pick up, whether present or prior. 2) Align the balance shafts with the oil pump. I have experienced both situations in the past. The time/distance you drive is the duration it takes for the residue to create sufficient low pressure. After stopping and waiting, restarting the process causes any remaining residue to settle to the bottom of the sump. Despite the lack of light, everything seems to be functioning well. Repeat. Uncertain about the impact of the balance shafts, however low pressure is an indication when all other components are functioning well. Install a new pump or remove the shafts, then secure the holes with suitable bolts.

Received the replacement motor (part number A0009061201) and installed it. Before replacing the old device, I tested it with a star and saw that it was moving, albeit at a slower pace than the new one. I performed the 'teach' process on the new unit in Star and it seemed to function OK, but I am uncertain about the need of this step. Everything seems satisfactory at the moment.

Hello Mindumer, The unit requires instruction via Star. There is an option on the laptop to activate this process. It likely operates by pushing the motor to its maximum and minimum positions, while simultaneously collecting data to determine the angles of the flap in between. It specifies to only do this action if a new unit has been installed. When I manually adjust the flap/motor, I can see the change in angle on Xentry/Star software, indicating the presence of feedback. I want to do testing again this weekend, aiming for a temperature over 10 degrees Celsius to enable me to transfer data using the laptop. You may choose an angle to move and verify that it has been moved to that specific angle. I suspect that it is not functioning properly, which is the issue. I will provide an update on the outcome here.

Has this resolved the issue? I am experiencing a similar issue with my 2016 GLA 220d, where fault codes are indicating problems with the exhaust flap actuator and causing the vehicle to go into limp mode. The actuator has been removed, and the flap may move freely without becoming stuck. I have access to a functional star/xentry diagnostics tool that allows me to test and adjust the flap to various positions. However, when attempting the test recently, xentry indicated that the external temperature must be at least 10°C for the test to proceed, likely to prevent issues with the flap being frozen or obstructed by ice below this temperature. The problem has resurfaced in the current warmer weather, suggesting that the flap may not be used while the temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius. Considering purchasing a new actuator to test out, which often costs approximately £200. I can instruct the newcomer in Star.

Given the current cost of windscreens, which option will be more economical: paying for it directly or facing a rise in insurance premium?
