One cannot err with BC. Avoid selecting a hefty spring, and you will appreciate them. It is challenging to locate a configuration that is economically feasible while allowing for separate adjustment of preload and ride height. Additionally, I believe the damping on the Billies is not adjustable.

The quality of lower-end products is subpar. Approximately 80% of individuals I have met who match those criteria have had issues within 12 months, necessitating repairs for reconstruction.

Bilstein B14 is subpar. H&R springs, especially when paired with factory dampers, are very effective. BCs are exceptional. Particularly with the cost. Avoid selecting an excessively hefty spring.

Perhaps it pertains to varying degrees of iDrive software? The instances I have seen have a double 's' next to vehicle inspection.

The vehicle inspection on iDrive is the MOT; go to it, choose the iDrive controller, and you may thereafter modify the date.

Typically, if a belt tears apart shortly after being started, it indicates that the belt was not installed properly and was slightly misaligned with one of the pulleys. I have personal experience with this issue, however I choose not to elaborate on how I acquired this knowledge. It is possible that a pulley has seized, but this would be apparent during installation. Additionally, pulleys are not very sensitive to oil, so it would not fail quickly. It would take a significant amount of time and slippage before it eventually fails.

I purchase all of my batteries from Tayna, which has successfully resolved the stop/start issue on both of my Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

Is it necessary to reset adaptations for MB automatic transmissions after changing the fluid and filter?

No, I did not claim that it was completely OK. However, the concept of "normal" is difficult to precisely define. Particularly in the absence of a video. Although I do not want to endorse the acceptance of abnormal behaviour, I have seen that every high-strung engine I have owned or been in close proximity to has had regular difficulties when starting in cold conditions. In my opinion, I would refrain from randomly replacing components if the vehicle has not recorded any malfunctions, and if the issue only occurs during cold starts when the engine runs and idles normally. Injectors and coil packs are rather expensive, and there is no sufficient evidence to indicate that either of them is the origin of the issue, or even whether there is a problem at all. If the pre-catalytic converter oxygen sensors are defective, it is quite likely that they would cause consistent rough running of the engine, rather than simply during cold starts as the original poster (OP) suggests, unless the issue is related to the heating coil. However, such action would trigger the Electromagnetic Lock (EML). Pre-catalytic lambda sensors are mostly used to fine-tune the closed loop fuel mixture, whereas post-catalytic sensors are only employed to check the condition of the catalytic converters. In any case, the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) would activate the Engine Management Light (EML) and record a problem. Building upon my previous statement, I believe that the first startup process is more lenient towards detecting and recording instances of failed ignition, also known as log misfires.

I am the owner of a V8 vehicle from 2009. You have accurately depicted around 10-15% of the instances when my vehicle's engine is started when it is cold. Without a video, it is impracticable to make a definitive statement. While acknowledging that you may perhaps have a concern, I would like to point out that I have personally had my own vehicle for a duration of 8 years and have driven it for a total distance of 12,000 miles, without encountering any issues. Furthermore, the vehicle continues to perform admirably. If you deactivate the engine during the cold start operation, it will not continue when you attempt to restart it. Not on my device, at the very least. If I disconnect the battery, the engine will run unevenly at the next startup, consistently. Although I acknowledge that my statement may lack credibility, I believe that it is just an idiosyncrasy of the engine. More precisely, in my opinion, the environment has undergone changes since you parked your vehicle. I have observed that this occurrence occurs with more frequency, particularly when I park my vehicle in an area where the temperature is 25 degrees Celsius and then start it up the following day in a climate where the temperature is 10 degrees Celsius. Perhaps the fuel trim requires adjustment or some other adjustment is needed. I have not dedicated much time to concern myself with it, since it often resolves itself over a span of 5 to 10 seconds. I too own the RT model, which exhibits similar behaviour. It sometimes has periods of reduced performance and seems to return to normal when I park it in ambient settings distinct from those in which I first started it. Regarding the misfire, I can assure you that the automobile has a proficient error logging system and is quite adept at detecting misfires. Nevertheless. It seems that the detection of misfires on cold starts is less aggressive. My device has never recorded an error when it has had a rough start, even when it is evident that it is skipping some beats. Interpret the statement how you choose. Posting a video here could be more advantageous, since there is a possibility that my understanding might be significantly incorrect. However, I am only providing you with my own experience in comparison to what you have said.

Negative. Various components, such as both Mass Air Flow sensors (MAFs), are experiencing issues. Additionally, the engine and gearbox are unable to comply with the torque reduction message.

I also acquired this kit simultaneously, operating at a pressure of 7 pounds per square inch (psi).

I own the CR Pro due to the abundance of diverse vehicles in my family. This device allows you to simultaneously monitor all the sensors.

Utilise the iCarsoft to do a dynamic assessment of all four corners while driving. Activate the live data feature and go on a drive to identify any corner that is providing inaccurate feedback data in comparison to the other three.

Similar to many insurance policies, it is a futile use of funds.

I have seen remarkable outcomes from paintless dent repair demonstrations on YouTube. Based on the visual examination of your photo, it seems that a highly skilled professional specialising in dent repair might potentially eliminate a significant portion of the damage. Uncertain about the area located just above your side marker, and just below the reflection of your phone, there seems to be a potential break in the paint. However, it is also possible that it is only a reflection. I highly recommend seeing a skilled dent specialist as a priority to assess the necessary actions thereafter.

I now own my second Sportage, having purchased a new 4 model in 2019 and a GT Line S model in March 2022. Both vehicles have proven to be excellent choices. Encountered a single problem with the coolant, but it seems to have been resolved. The service provided by Kia and the dealer beyond that of any other dealer or manufacturer I have dealt with.

The automobile is quite impressive. I adore it.

Great review, thank you for the work you've invested in it. You may reduce the car's lagging on highways by lowering the tyre pressure while using Bridgestone tyres. You will inevitably miss out on their peculiar "high-pressure approach to seeking comfort." When my car's tyre pressure is set to 36.3 psi, the high-speed trailing is less severe compared to when it is at 39 psi.

I would want to thank the R8-Stuff team for their diligent efforts in obtaining these tickets for me. If someone needs assistance, they are a valuable resource.

After doing a Diag check, I received error code 4a66 related to power management. Is it possible that this error is due to the battery and might it be causing more problems with the fan?

Will it operate with a faulty thermostat if I test it with diagnostics?

Could the lack of gas in the air conditioning system prevent the fan from working when I turn it on?
