  1. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174051022738?_skw=total+quartz+9000+0w20&itmmeta=01KEC4HF0KEFCRKCSPVZWKF2Z3&itmprp=enc:AQAKAAAA8FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1dAbUhZony43SzuqkWtueJU0P3sq8TFcl24Phk/zdCKUhYiQCH47sFN9/sd+PX/UXtLqzRB5QRyUUGdDLwXCdagTEUn40Eck229XBCeacaXQA4a4oy5siOB96HeDRol115F13X3rzAaTLsJ2TsAra7QdwUznrpDA5KNAtFs62vRvFQ4xTit4pLDNwO8nJt6TgLtMurl1Awa0/3g3FWveDQpGjlCZms7kBxRg9Ja6OMjrwcWfEphuhu422ESIHi+/JtkB9/KTZIbm6eWEeUqtVgZs/WIvnPblkMs8YUb8gyomQ==|tkp:Bk9SR8TwxYTzZg&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338774567&toolid=10001&customid=130832X1600938Xce4c2e17a72959eb06247072e16d0397&subId2=15
  2. I intended to purchase a one-litre container for refills and acquired it on eBay for £12.95, including delivery.
  3. Consulted the Kia website, which indicates that the 2022 Sportage features the NQ5 1.6 Gamma II (γ) T-GDI, including HEV and PHEV variants. Petrol 4.8L API SN PLUS / SP 0W20 TotalEnergies Quartz 9000 HKR GF6A 0W-30
  4. Considering the purchase of a service plan and seeking to ascertain the cost without it. Snows Guildford provided a quotation of £308 inclusive for the first option and £480 including for the second option. Labour for the First task is 1 hour at £186 per hour, inclusive, and for the Second task, it is 2 hours. The initial service comprises an oil and filter replacement along with inspections, while the subsequent service entails a brake fluid replacement. £122 for oil and filter appears exorbitant for the initial service. They stated that 0W-20 oil is costly. Has anyone attempted to provide their own oil?
  5. Did you utilise the battery terminals for charging?
  6. The fuel injection system of a R107 SL is antiquated technology; nonetheless, it is not uncommon and is well comprehended. I really doubt that you would need to travel extensive distances, particularly to Germany, to locate someone capable of servicing it. Regarding your local garage, it is advisable to research this matter and other forums to get your own information and connections. Based on my experience, it is entirely feasible to sustain these exceptional vehicles at a pretty little cost; nonetheless, it is crucial to acquire knowledge and establish the appropriate connections.
  7. The E46 began manufacturing in late 1997, making the oldest versions 27 years old currently.I can not recall time passing so swiftly since the debut of this automobile.
  8. I received an alert about mine, with no specified restriction.
  9. Thank you for your assistance. I will put here upon discovery.
  10. Greetings. Thank you for your response. I cannot ascertain anything (no illumination). It consists of three or four melodic notes that are repeated five or six times.
  11. Greetings. Recently acquired a G21 because my used F11 became quite outdated. I like the G21, albeit it exhibits some instability in wet situations. Upon initiation, I hear a sequence of mild chimes emanating from the middle of the dashboard. I enquired if anybody could provide clarification on what that is, please. The sound seems to consist of around six or seven chimes. This is unrelated to external temperature, seatbelts, and warning lights (regrettably, I am unable to provide a link to a recording). The 'AC' sign is only visible on the passenger side of the dashboard; is this typical? I cannot locate an option to display the AC symbol on the driving side. Thank you in advance.
  12. The service time for both the gearbox and differential oil is 30,000 miles or 3 years, if I recall correctly. Thus, when it was completed at Beaconsfield Mercedes in November 2023, with the vehicle having 30,500 miles at that time, it was the first occurrence. Nonetheless, I would assert that the visit constituted out-of-band labour conducted at the behest of the individual from whom I purchased the vehicle. The involvement of an authorised dealer in the repair, which is documented, makes it perplexing that Mercedes would want to repeat the process. However, if they are unable to claim for the first B service I had last month, it seems logical that they would want a repeat service. I am not expressing dissatisfaction; it incurs no cost to me. I am receiving a vehicle for the day, and my only obligation is to transport the automobile to and from the dealer, a distance of seven miles each way. I am more perplexed than anything else!
