Have you seen all three programmes?

An essential viewing experience. BBC2 or iPlayer

Determining from a photograph is arduous, if not unattainable. In the past, AMG operated as an independent tuning company. In the UK, components could only be obtained via Stratton's, the only distributor. There were indeed available components for the SECs, including a few 500 and 560 models with AMG bodykits, steering wheels, and wheels. These modifications were rather costly. However, it is uncertain if any kits for saloon models were available. It is quite unlikely that a 300 would have been equipped with authentic AMG components when it was first manufactured, mostly owing to the high cost involved. AMG kits must to include a distinct component number imprinted on them. They were not pre-installed at the manufacturing. I apologise for the confusion, but it seems that I mistakenly believed I had already shared this information. As a result, there may be some repetition of the content provided by BTB.

I am experiencing a distressing dream involving individuals associated with automobiles. Indeed, this topic has been addressed on several occasions; nonetheless, the clarity of the matter remains unquestionable. When I try to start it, the electrical system malfunctions. All the circuits seem to be communicating with each other, but the car is not functioning properly. Last year, she performed this action, which included enclosing the narrows of the circuit and causing it to become saturated. Upon reevaluating it this year, I have seen that it is not as dreadful as before. Today, I visited the passenger side footwell and saw that it was totally inundated with water, to the point of overflowing. An unspecified wire was brought down in the area at the driver's feet, and I am uncertain whether it is linked to anything. Although it seems that there is no connection or practical use, I don't think it should have affected the loom.

I understand. I feel the same way. I am in close proximity to London and the temperature drops to uncomfortably low levels only on a few occasions during the year. There are few opportunities to purchase high-quality winter or all-season tyres on really cold days, unless I come into a large sum of money, such as winning the lottery.

They are not suitable for winter conditions.Even in Los Angeles, where the weather is consistently warm.The compound is very difficult.Prior to proceeding, it is necessary to first warm them up.Subsequently, they begin to exhibit the characteristics of a well-functioning tyre. Until that time, they remain uncertain or unpredictable. They perform very well at higher temperatures. It demonstrates the constraints of using these tyres over the whole year.

Initially, the 170 does not have any issues with the OPUS system. However, we have seen a recurring problem related to the P06D code, specifically with the suction pipe seal. However, there is still uncertainty about that matter.However, it is important to be mindful of this. According to John, the service history records provide further evidence to support the stamps recorded in the book. Ensure that all electrical equipment functions as expected. If the vehicle is equipped with a satellite navigation system, do not anticipate it to have extensive functionality. Ensure that there are no faults shown on the dashboard for the parking sensors, if equipped. The mileage of the automobile is unknown, however, whether the cambelt, auxiliary belt, roller guides, and tensioners have been replaced. Additionally, there is a diminutive chain connecting the camshafts that does not need maintenance.However, these are beginning to deteriorate, resulting in significant and unforeseen issues. However, it is important to note that, like any automotive forum, the majority of participants join seeking assistance with problems, which tends to result in a predominance of bad experiences being shared. It is worth mentioning that these vehicles are equipped with Euro 6 engines, which need the usage of ADBLUE. Therefore, it is crucial to regularly refill the ADBLUE tank. Alloys and curbs will never have a romantic relationship.The higher the sidewall, the more advantageous it is. The choice of tyre brand is often a matter of personal preference, however many people tend to like popular brands like Landsales. I have purchased the Goodyear asemretic 6 tyres and I am dissatisfied with their performance. Additionally, I have a recurring issue with damaging the front tyre on the driver's side. I believe I am now on my second replacement within a span of less than a year. If you are determined to get it, you will ultimately purchase it. We do not possess clairvoyant abilities, hence neither we nor you can predict future events. Keep in mind that it is a pre-owned vehicle, so anticipate signs of wear and tear due to its age.

If you, as a member of this esteemed community, lack the knowledge to resolve the issue with your vehicle, it is unreasonable to assume that other members would possess an instant solution to your car's problem. How proficient are you at efficiently and precisely identifying issues for other members? Share relevant details and members will endeavour to provide assistance.

Request a reimbursement for both the initial membership price and the recurring monthly charges.

This is unfortunate information. The challenge is in extracting the salt from the concealed compartments of the chassis and other components. If you had the opportunity to reach a freshwater river crossing, I would recommend driving across it several times. Alternatively, go on an exciting expedition! While it is relatively simple to repair malfunctioning modules or switches that have been damaged by salt water, it is much more difficult to replace a chassis or underbody that is gradually deteriorating.

it's a valid observation about the quantity of fault occurrences saved. I will inquire about it. The installation of the new software aimed to identify these flaws and manufacturing defects. Therefore, it is possible that the previous version did not register any problems, whereas the new programme detected them. In that particular case, it seems that the current software was inadequate for its intended use. If it had been suitable, it could have been able to identify the issue at an earlier stage and potentially have been fixed under warranty.

The code is unclear, however, they conducted a "electronic vehicle health check" and determined that the manifold is inoperable.

The recall notice explains that the cause for the recall is the accumulation of deposits in the engine intake system, namely the inlet manifold, due to a leaky EGR cooler during the car's service life. Immediately upon starting the automobile, the engine light illuminated, therefore causing me concern. While I would typically not question it in any other situation, it seems to me rather suspicious.

The engine warning light illuminated on my 2017 BMW G30 530D on the same day it was undergoing maintenance at the garage for a software update and inspection of the EGR and Inlet system as part of a recall. The dealership confirmed that there were no indications of engine malfunctions or warning lights before to doing the maintenance. They proceeded to install new software and thoroughly inspected the vehicle, resulting in the absence of any immediate engine warning lights post-work. Upon receiving the automobile on the same day, I saw that the engine light was on in an orange colour. The dealership conducted an examination to identify the issue and determined that I need a replacement intake manifold, which would cost £1654. They informed me that this expense is not covered by the recall, despite the recall notification stating that all work associated with the recall will be handled by BMW. The defect occurred within a few hours of the car being in the garage for the recall work, which explicitly addressed the intake system. I collected the car shortly after, and this seems to be an extraordinary coincidence. The car has been completely problem-free up until now, with a mileage of just 42,000 km, and is now performing well. I would appreciate any guidance or insights from those owners who have had similar challenges.
