Perhaps a new BCU was produced in 2019 as a potential replacement? I am aware that they use the week of the year to determine when an item was produced. The number 19 might perhaps represent the specific week in which it was manufactured. However, it is uncertain how one can deduce the year from the other information, assuming it is actually a date code.

The Kia Sportage 2019 has a mileage of 51,000 miles.

Based on your statement, I infer that the issue persists until you deactivate the ignition. Consequently, I assume that when you begin driving again, the problem is temporarily resolved. Is my understanding correct? If that is the case, then mine was precisely the same. -

I own a 1.6 diesel mild hybrid vehicle that had identical issues. The device would experience a loss of power until I performed a restart. Occasionally, it would function normally for many weeks before requiring another restart, but at other times, it would immediately encounter the power issue again. Upon scanning, I discovered an intermittent problem with the injector. However, after many visits to the dealership, they were unable to identify any issues. Finally, after almost two years, I have replaced the defective one and the vehicle is now operating flawlessly, achieving a fuel efficiency of 55 miles per gallon in urban areas and driving as if it were brand new. My suggestion is to switch off the ignition for 30 seconds, restart the system, and if the issue persists, it would be advisable to inspect the injectors. -
(After undergoing three airbag replacements, I have observed that) if a vehicle sinks on one side or in an uneven manner, it indicates a malfunctioning airbag. On the other hand, if the sinking occurs uniformly on both sides, it suggests a problem with the valve or hoses.

If your spring collapses within one hour, then you have a limited amount of time remaining to repair it. (The expanding hole increases in size to the extent that the compressor becomes unable of adequately inflating it, resulting in decreased drivability of the car) Therefore, it is essential to consider removing both springs, examining them with soapy water for leaks, and replacing them as necessary. It is important to note that the air leaks occur under the plastic boot, as the rubber loses its ability to maintain an airtight seal. Consider purchasing Arnott products, which may provide similar or greater durability and may come with an extended warranty compared to those offered by Mercedes-Benz.

It is preferable to prioritise safety. Insurance should provide coverage for all expenses.

The clips are engineered to exhibit flexibility and detachability upon exertion of force on the vent. I used a technique whereby I exerted force on the vent while using a lengthy flat plastic trim removal tool to apply pressure on the internal flapper of the vent from the other side. I insert the tool into the vent located on the side of the door card, specifically the aperture with the rubber gasket that connects to the vent on the dashboard, if that is clear. Apply pressure to both the upper and lower halves of the flapper door to avoid putting excessive strain on or causing damage to the hinge. Alternatively, you may use a plastic trim removal tool to gently pry the vent out from the front side. However, I refrained from doing so due to my excessive concern about perhaps causing harm to the leather. The most challenging aspect for me was reestablishing the connection of the 2-pin connector. Due to the insufficient slack in the wire harness, I had to resort to pulling the door card in order to facilitate the reconnection.

laugh out loud I also chose the matte finish and now I am contemplating if the gloss finish would have been more suitable. However, it is too late for me to change my decision since I am unwilling to go that difficult process again. Consequently, I have already made the purchase of an askcarbon steering wheel in matte carbon.

It is highly recommended to get a copy of the service manuals. A weekend ago, I successfully fitted the whole inside carbon kit. I was not prepared for the number of components that need to be removed in order to access the instrument panel trim. To access the bolts securing the leather side trim on the right side of the steering wheel, it is necessary to remove the centre console. I first estimated that it would only a few hours, but it ended up taking two days to complete, much to my amusement.

I have just completed this particular task on my 2022 model. On my vehicle, I had to uninstall the HVAC controls and the leather trim. To facilitate the removal of the centre vent, it was necessary to unscrew a single screw. Uncertain if this feature was included in the more recent generations of automobiles. Subsequently, I used a 90 degree pick to extract the vent.

Is it worth sharing this information here for anybody who may have the same uncertainty in the future?

We advise replacing shocks in pairs, similar to the practice of replacing old tyres. The functional aspect of the shocks will have an impact on the other aspect. It is stated that Fidelity will provide their approval for our remanufactured magride shocks. I am delighted to assist you anytime you want a new pair.

Indeed, I now possess a somewhat greater amount of time to provide a more detailed explanation. MB springs are custom-made for each vehicle, taking into account the choices and weight of the unique automobile. The dealer need the information on the three colour bands on your springs in order to accurately order the appropriate pair for your automobile. Installing aftermarket springs with a moderate spring rate should suffice, however the vehicle's height may vary based on the specific options installed. I rebuilt the struts on my CLS and bought the new springs from MB Grangemouth. I removed the old struts and brought them to the dealership, where they promptly installed the new springs while I waited.

If you want the automobile, I would personally operate it. Regardless of your actions, if anything goes awry, I anticipate that you will be involved in it in terms of culpability. If these individuals need motivation from a group of unmarried individuals, would you choose one of them to operate your vehicle during an extended journey?

Have you indeed quantified the voltage? A battery that is nearing the end of its lifespan may not retain a sufficient amount of electrical charge, even after being connected to a battery tender.

I like the V10 model throughout the day - the size is important.

If you go to Kia, don't rely on them to have any inventory. It might result in you having to pay out of pocket, since insurance could not provide coverage.

Indeed, with the Yaris Cross, the cigarette lighter connection is deactivated when the ignition is turned off. I own a solar-powered charger that utilises the OBD connector to charge the car's battery while it remains locked, although with a limited amount of juice.

Based on the fuse diagram, the devices are regulated by Module 2 in the fuse box, which is safeguarded by a 15amp fuse. This module also governs the wireless charging pad.

I would presume that they are physically connected....

From a physical standpoint, it is technically feasible to connect the HEV battery to the fuse box via cabling. However, it is important to note that if any devices are left plugged in, the minimal 12v capacity of the HEV battery would be quickly depleted. I found that a Dash Cam that is hardwired may operate continuously for 24 hours without any issues, however any device with a larger amperage will definitely not function properly. What you are asking is if a rechargeable battery pack with a capacity of 20000 or 30000 mAh will be sufficient to connect the device, and then you can just bring it inside to recharge it from time to time.

That is fantastic, congratulations to you, Sir. The colour is excellent, and as you said, the rear wheel steering is prominently shown at the back. I'm pleased to hear that you had a successful run with it yesterday. I intend to go to the North Pennines today. The presence of these AMG GT vehicles is abundant in this area, resembling the frequency of buses.
