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.

I tested it and it did not move, therefore I have ordered a new actuator.

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?

Doesn't your insurance policy include coverage for your windscreen?

Is it worth contacting this firm that applies chrome onto plastic parts? http://www.chromespray.co.uk/

I did not participate in the Scouts, but I was a member of the Air Training Corps (ATC) for a few years throughout my early teenage years. This occurred in the late 1980s. We had an exceptional Warrant Officer who served as a reserve in the special forces. Two memorable items include CS gas training in a decommissioned fuselage part located near our Hut at the former British Aerospace site at Brooklands. During the summer, he instructed us to do a cross-country run first, since CS is reactive to moisture. He was really considerate in that manner. We also engaged in hand-to-hand fighting training to defend against a knife-wielding assailant. The attacker opted to employ a bayonet due to deeming it unnecessary to learn how to fight against an opponent with a stick. Great experiences and valuable knowledge gained. In 1987, I participated in the Nijmegen marches with the Air Training Corps as a member of the British Military Contingent. Despite being one year below the minimum age requirement (at 15 years old). They modified my 3822 identification card, but there is no need to worry. I have completed five of these tasks since it was a remarkable experience. It is difficult to fathom somebody nowadays tampering with an ID card, which is regrettable in several aspects.

I discovered that stepping to the side and kicking vigorously beneath the right or left rear portion reliably triggers it for me. If done correctly, you will likely end up kicking the automobile.

I am very grateful that you took the time to respond to my inquiries. I appreciate it much. The vehicle mechanic used Mobil1 5-30 oil, then I added more Mobil1 5-30 oil. Is this the correct oil? Thank you very much

I do not have the Owner's Manual. Is there a website where I can get it? I searched on Google, but the results were for non-European models.

Thank you for your response. I added 0.5 litres of oil to my car's 5.3L engine to verify whether more was required, and now the display indicates "Engine oil level ok." Thank you

Thank you for responding. I will add 0.5 litres and adjust as necessary. Thank you for your responses once again.

Should I put 0.5 litres or 1 litre?

While inspecting the oil level of my W203 2005 diesel 2.2, I saw that when the engine was heated at 90°C and switched off for 5 minutes, it indicated to add 1.5L. However, in the morning when the engine was cold, it showed that the engine oil level was okay. 1: When should the oil level be checked? 2: Should oil be added to the engine? The car has travelled 99,000 km and still maintains an average fuel consumption of roughly 55 units without emitting any smoke. Thank you

The new M5 is rather appealing at the moment.

The interior trim level is referred to as "Sport trim with silk beige leather and ash wood interior" in the emails I have received, however I am uncertain whether this is the official designation.

I must express my profound disappointment at hearing this news. The vehicle is being sold by an authorised dealer and so has a 1-year guarantee, however its practical value may be uncertain. Is it advisable for me to request a star diagnostic and replace the battery if it is showing signs of poor health, or are the batteries of such low quality that it is best to avoid them altogether? I had anticipated that the battery would be in excellent condition due to its low mileage of 10,000, yet uncertainties remain.

Oh no! Is the C300H of poor quality?

I am scheduled to finalise the papers and get a 2017 C300H Sport (estate) this next weekend. The item is in excellent shape and has very low mileage, at 10,000 km. The vehicle is equipped with the Premium Plus pack, as well as many additional optional packs including memory, comfort, mirror, and stowage. I am quite enthusiastic about it, although I have never had a hybrid vehicle (or a Mercedes, for that matter). The improvement from my old Ford Kuga will be substantial, and I hope it will also provide significant cost savings. Are there any specific factors or potential problems that I should be cautious about before making a binding commitment? Any prevalent flaws or idiosyncrasies that I should be mindful of?

I can verify that the cigarette lighter socket is deactivated when the ignition is turned off. To use the car's charger, you must establish a connection either via the OBD port or by directly connecting it to the Battery. The solar charger I own is equipped with an OBD port connection.

In the absence of an airing cupboard Place the item inside a shoe box and create an opening at one end of the box to accommodate a hair blow dryer. Activate the dryer to expedite the drying process for a wide range of objects.

As the proverbial saying goes, "A Mercedes car cannot be obtained at a low cost". May you and your loved ones have a delightful and enjoyable holiday season.
