  1. As mentioned earlier, this arrangement is mutually agreed upon by the firms, however participation is optional and some companies may choose not to join. In such cases, you will be required to submit proof of your No Claims Discount (NCD) from your former insurance provider.
  2. It seems that you were fortunate. If you still have affection for the automobile, I recommend retaining it, ensuring proper maintenance, and enjoying the benefits of your new engine.
  3. In my opinion, this brand is only comparable to anything like Hankook.
  4. Please upload the video to YouTube and share the URL with us so that we may see it.
  5. However, if the head and cap are severely grooved, they will not form a proper seal. Additionally, I use a dremel and metal polish to polish the journal, ensuring that it does not wear away.
  6. It is important to assess the condition of the parts before determining if they are in good shape. In my experience, I have rebuilt these parts for many years. Instead of measuring them for wear, I replace them with newer carbon solid rings. These rings do not create grooves on the head surface and end cap. Additionally, if the end caps were removed and the gaps were not set to 180 degrees and level with where the end cap meets the head, there is a high chance that the ears would be broken off and could potentially create grooves on the surfaces during the initial start-up. I made this mistake once and it was quite costly, resulting in the need for another head. Furthermore, it is essential to soak the vanos sprockets before installation to prevent them from sticking and ensure proper rotation.
  7. Did you properly lubricate the new vanos before installing it? It is highly recommended to replace the whole set, since the wear on one sprocket might accelerate the wear on the chain.
  8. In 2007, the engine will still have metal rectangular rings in the first camshaft journals. These rings can cause the head surface to wear away, resulting in the inability to maintain proper timing. When the engine control unit (ECU) detects that the timing is not within the expected range, it triggers a correlation or plausibility code. This code can also be triggered by a faulty solenoid or improperly set chain. Additionally, a wiring harness or ECU malfunction could be the cause. Identifying the root cause of this code can be quite challenging. To troubleshoot, I always begin by ensuring that all mechanical components are in perfect working condition before examining the electrical system.
  9. Indeed, that is a frequent occurrence for me, particularly while use HDA.
  10. Greetings, everybody. I am thrilled to become a part of this exceptional community! I am now examining a pre-owned 2009 Audi R8 V8 on the internet and eagerly anticipate the opportunity to test drive it. However, I need assistance to ensure that I make an informed decision. Due to the automobile being located in a different state, I am unable to physically examine it, and the dealer lacks any customer feedback. Their demeanour is amicable, nevertheless, I need unequivocal assurance prior to reaching a conclusion. The vehicle has accumulated a mileage of 39,000 kilometres and is now priced at $53,000. I would much appreciate any guidance or recommendations. Thank you!
  11. I attempted to undergo a WBAC evaluation with my CLK240 (2004) and found no flaws. Despite being a well-functioning vehicle, it did not match their specific requirements. It seems that they purchase every automobile except for mine.
  12. I now possess the same email, and my membership for receiving real-time traffic reports will terminate during the next month. The price of Β£299 for a duration of 3 years for something that other manufacturers provide at no cost is too high. I like using Google Maps on my phone, since it is free.
  13. If you are intending to dismantle the old filter in order to insert insects for decorative purposes, please be aware that the replacement filter should be accompanied with new 'O' rings.
  14. Yes, if you have a filter that is located at the top of the engine and can be changed, then it is possible.
  15. While attempting to choose a year, I perused many publications. Definitive Guide to Audi R8 Front Frame Cracking and Reinforcement Plates for Model Years 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 – Carlton Bale
  16. If the Airmatic system is not fully functional, then the answer is yes.
  17. Are you certain that it is not showing the current amount of your phone's battery charge? Previously, my vehicle would indicate the battery level of my phone until the most recent software changes.
  18. that is a substantial amount of metal filings, correct? I get that the magnet is intended to gather them in order to prevent their circulation, and although some are anticipated, it seems to be excessive. I am uncertain.
  19. I hope that BMW EVs are subject to a double taxation due to their unattractive appearance.
  20. Unfortunately, it is regrettable that you do not own a Spyder. It would be far more convenient to do if you were able to remove the top.
  21. There are several off-road modifications available such as skid plates, snorkels, EAs bypass kits, coil conversions, A/T or M/T tyres, air locks, beadlock wheels, and light guards for protection. Driving underwater might cause the Body Electronic Control Module (BECM) located beneath the right side front seat to malfunction, leading to erratic behaviour in the vehicle such as lights, alarm, windows, and wipers going on and off unpredictably or even shutting down.
  22. Positive outcome πŸ‘ Today, I had the OM642 cooler seals changed with new seals and an oil cooler from Mercedes for one of the reasons. There will be leaks shortly, and Mercedes will reportedly be replaced and fitted with FoC.
  23. This occurs when the fan control unit loses its CAN-bus connection with the engine or AC controller. To safeguard the engine, the radiator fan(s) operate at maximum speed. However, this circumstance often leads to error codes. Inspect cables and connectors for faulty connections, corrosion, or misaligned contact components in the plugs or sockets.
  24. Your automobile is impressive. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide answers to your inquiries. However, I would like the opportunity to see some photographs of your vehicle. Greetings
