  1. That is logical. I intend to replace the C-TEK after Christmas for precautionary reasons, considering the C-Tek CS model. foolproof charging.
  2. No, it is engineered to charge while the battery remains in place.
  3. Negative regarding the leap points. Thank you.

  6. Salutations, Last Friday, I had to charge the car battery following a low 12V battery warning. I utilised my C-TEK MXS5.0, which I have owned for years without issues. I configured it to the appropriate mode (AGM) and left it to charge. I checked it Saturday morning to ensure everything was in order, observing all seven indicator lights illuminated, before disconnecting it from the charger. Yesterday, the ghost2 exhibited a temperamental outburst. After reviewing all the documentation, I resolved the issue, and she commenced functioning properly. My inquiry is whether my previous charger is damaged and whether this is typical. Is there a measure to prevent this occurrence? Thank you.
  7. Thank you for the engaging review. I possess a similar vehicle (2012 W204) equipped with the M276 3.5-liter petrol engine. The positive aspects align with your report, except the engine operates even more quietly throughout cruising; I conducted a direct comparison with the CDI before to purchasing the vehicle new. I possess the dynamic handling package, but I only use it while exerting maximum performance on rural roads, as the regular handling is already exceptional. I do not perceive the stock setup to be harsh at all with the 18-inch rims. Different tires may be required. I have utilised several various tires since acquiring the car new. The Pirelli All Season tires now fitted are exceptionally quiet. The comfort ventilated seats, as opposed to the normal sports seats, are exceptionally comfy. Regardless of the journey's duration. I have frequently driven over 300 miles continuously without a pause. Based on my frequent readings, I appear fortunate to not experience any squeaks or rattles within the vehicle. Alternatively, I may be experiencing hearing loss! I appreciate the dials, especially the well-integrated COMAND system for navigation, radio, and other functions, in contrast to the somewhat haphazard designs of older and later versions. Fuel usage appears comparable to that of the diesel variant. An indicated >40 mpg is typical throughout a journey, unless I am indulging in the power! However, during a one-mile winter journey to Tesco and back, it struggles to reach 20 mph. I have scarcely observed any camber sensitivity, both in the UK and in the five European countries where I have driven. I have operated numerous vehicles, hence I am aware of the poor quality of certain models. Aside from rare extreme cambers, I have never needed to exert more than a single finger on the steering wheel of the C350 to maintain a straight trajectory. I may have simply been fortunate with my current 13-year-old W204. I have not encountered anything I would prefer to substitute it with.
  8. Indeed, it must be priced at ten thousand dollars, which likely approximates the amount the seller originally invested. It is an almost eight-year-old vehicle with 100,000 miles on it. It would be challenging to locate an individual willing to spend 30k for it in pristine condition.
  9. If those are AMG 3PC wheels manufactured by OZ, they are likely more valuable than the vehicle itself.
  10. Impressive late-model automobile. I believe the 500 SEL is the superior choice.
  11. According to OmahaKnot, the last two digits vary due to differing manufacture dates.

    The engine code is N47D20C.
  13. Should you go. Inquire about their confidence on the absence of ICCU difficulties, considering that every other Kia using the E-GMP platform has had such problems.

    Airbag Issue

    A seat occupancy sensor located under the seat will activate the airbag indicator if it malfunctions. It is possible that reclining the seat damaged the sensor, socket, wiring, or another component.This equipment is about 30 years old. Which codes are shown by the computer? To my knowledge, the airbag indicator may alone be deactivated by erasing the computer's memory. This is an opportune moment to get PASoft, which can do that and also interpret codes.
