Additionally, I apply a thin layer of wellseal to all surfaces that include FAI or glass.

then it's probably time to program it again. As said before, put everything back together and reset it as much as possible.

With Windows, if the button makes a little movement when pushed, keep doing it until it's all the way up. Then, press and hold the down button until it's all the way down. After ten seconds, press and hold the up button again. Repeat this process until you've programmed the comfort settings.

Initially, I would reassemble the entire system, ensuring all connections are restored. I have observed that when moving a vehicle with the engine removed and connecting the battery, the wipers activate continuously, among other issues. After reassembly, if the vehicle is locked and allowed to enter sleep mode for five minutes, using the fob to unlock can resolve some problems. If this fails, I employ a diagnostic tool; I utilise a high-end Autel device that allows for the resetting of the ECU's short circuit protection via software. Additionally, once reassembled and after the sleep period, attempting to start the vehicle normally, then switching off and repeating this process several times can aid in restoring functionality. I am meticulous about disconnecting the battery on all vehicles I service, as incorrect voltage or wiring can cause significant damage. For resetting the FRM, I use Dtronix in Bristol, which also operates on eBay. If my suggestions do not yield results, the alternative is to send the FRM off for software repair.

After reassembling and connecting everything, I usually find that the wipers turn on whenever I need to move a car with the engine out and the battery connected. If that doesn't work, I try locking the car and letting it sleep for five minutes; then, using the key fob to open it should fix it. If that doesn't work, I turn to the diagnostics tool. If you have a high-end AUDEL, you may reset the short circuit protection in the software. After the battery is disconnected, turn the vehicle on normally, and then turn it back on again. This should help the ecu remember what it learns. I work on projects where the improper voltage or wiring might cause significant harm.

That is logical. I intend to replace the C-TEK after Christmas for precautionary reasons, considering the C-Tek CS model. foolproof charging.

No, it is engineered to charge while the battery remains in place.

Negative regarding the leap points. Thank you.

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.

Well executed task.

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.

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.

If those are AMG 3PC wheels manufactured by OZ, they are likely more valuable than the vehicle itself.

Impressive late-model automobile. I believe the 500 SEL is the superior choice.

According to OmahaKnot, the last two digits vary due to differing manufacture dates.

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.

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.

Other than removing rocker cover off to take a look or having bmw to measure stretch with the proper equipment there isn’t anything

The prevalence of N47 engines indicates a relatively low failure rate; the essential factor for longevity is consistent oil changes. Based on the many instances I have conducted over the years, 100k is my threshold for them. As a later N47T model, yours has received modifications that do not eliminate failure but rather extend longevity. It is unfeasible to quantify the mileage lifespan, since I have seen original chains last up to 200,000 miles, while others have failed or shown noise below 100,000 miles; so, I assert that my threshold would be 100,000 miles.

I acknowledge that your vehicle is an AWD model; yet, I am astonished that the rear brake pads have deteriorated more rapidly than the front ones. If you want to retain the automobile for many more years, you could consider examining the KIA service plans. Their prices are cheaper than those of most franchised dealer stores, and reduced fixed-price MOT testing might be included. In the event of any issues with the brakes or the AWD system, the individual conducting the MOT test will typically alert you. Based on my experience, they often highlight pad and tyre wear well before reaching the minimum recommended thresholds, anticipating that customers will respond with, “Oh, please repair them while the car is in the workshop!” or they may propose scheduling a follow-up appointment for the following week. Dealerships often change brakes and tires because to the substantial profit margins associated with their pricing. I am uncertain whether you plan to retain the automobile, nor do I possess knowledge about its whole KIA service history. However, a 2021 model should remain under warranty until 2028, provided it has been maintained according to KIA's requirements. As a vehicle ages, it has significant monetary value should any substantial issues arise.
