I have a 2024. I adore it. Following the adjustment of the recall settings, she operates exceptionally well. I could not be more content.

It is raining heavily. However, it appears that I am unlikely to obtain the solution without venturing outside; I have seen online that a Bosch 1987435160 filter is compatible with both vehicles, as well as most modern Kia and Hyundai models. I have ordered a pair for £28.28 total on eBay, inclusive of delivery, should anyone be interested. Gratitude to everybody who responded.

Is there anyone who knows the manufacturer of the original filters?
-
Both vehicles are approaching three years of age, hence I believe it is time to repair the pollen and cabin filters in our Sportage and EV6. I am not inclined to pay Kia dealership pricing; thus, could anyone suggest a provider of authentic OEM parts, as opposed to those that merely assert compliance with OEM standards? At one time, a Kia dealership offered parts on eBay at significantly lower prices than the Kia recommended retail price, from which I purchased items for our prior Kia. However, I can no longer locate them!

Your local MB Service department often provides a printed report of the completed work for clients.

The individuals I am acquainted with who possess electric vehicles, predominantly representatives, typically charge to 80% but will charge to 100% if they anticipate a lengthy drive the following day. Similar to my internal combustion engine vehicle, I often invest fifty or sixty pounds in fuel; but, for a journey to Hull, I require a full tank.

What would be the solution for it to operate on all fours?

What happens when the cylinder head reaches elevated temperatures? In my small expertise, I assume the surface gets uneven and it does not sit level in the engine because its aluminium. The head is machined to provide a flat surface; this is my interpretation of re-phasing. I am uncertain whether I used the correct term. Thank you

Greetings, Possess a 2011 Chevrolet Captiva LTZ 2.0 diesel. The vehicle overheated and ceased operation. The head gasket was damaged and replaced. The cylinder head was re-phased prior to the installation of a new gasket. Once done the automobile has fully lost power. The vehicle is incapable of ascending a slope. What could be the issue and what is the solution? Thank you.

I consider the automatic headlight system on my Hyundai to be absurd. While driving under a tree in the noon heat, the headlights activated. None of the vehicles equipped with this feature exhibit this behaviour. I have not driven the Tucson much so far, but when it accelerates and decelerates abruptly, it resembles flashing the vehicle ahead of me! It frustrates me immensely when it occurs!!! :ROFLMAO: Have you used both Google Maps and Apple Maps in the same location? If not, ascertain if they do the same action. The issue may stem from insufficient screen contrast, resulting in unclear visuals under certain settings. I am uncertain if night mode serves any use beyond changing the backdrop to black or reducing the screen's luminosity.

Despite having had many Hyundais, each have characteristics that rendered them less than ideal. In this instance, it pertains to the reduction of brightness on the navigation screen under suboptimal conditions. My 2018 Sonata included blue backlighting on all its buttons, which rendered them illegible under certain lighting conditions—attributable in part to my vision and in part to the low contrast between the blue light and the silver backdrop. I have observed that the auto headlight control on my 2024 Tucson is quite sensitive; passing into a shadow activates the headlights, subsequently causing my dashboard and screen to go to nighttime mode. I was considering disabling the automatic headlights; have you contemplated increasing the dashboard and screen brightness to 100% on such days? I'm uncertain whether it would be beneficial. Consider a solution, akin to disabling the auto stop/start feature at the beginning of a journey.

Most devices provide an automatic day/night mode with an option to override either setting. Automobiles often possess the capability to adjust the brightness levels of the dashboard and display using a knob or similar mechanism on the light control. Could it be that the screen brightness is set too low for certain conditions? I keep my dashboard lights dull for nighttime, but when the vehicle detects "darkness" (perhaps in a shade), it activates the headlights and reduces the brightness of the dashboard/screen. I lack navigation in my vehicle other from Google Maps; nevertheless, the dashboard does dim, and the screen may be independently adjusted in a 2024 Tucson SEL using the touchscreen.

Possibly a typographical error; it may refer to 2007.

yes w4rlock I don't understand what is happening

The lights remain on until the car enters sleep mode.

I am curious to know if anybody else has had a similar experience. When I lock my car, the rear lights remain on in the higher area, as seen in the picture. Initially, I considered the possibility that this may be related to the "follow me home function," but I am unable to deactivate it using the gap tool. The fault codes C111A-15 indicate a problem with the right stoplamp, either a short circuit to the battery or an open circuit. Furthermore, I would appreciate guidance on what specific aspects to examine for the left C111B-15.

Yesterday, I acquired my new Sportage and had a short drive, covering a distance of 34 miles as recorded on the car's odometer. As per the Connect app, it has covered a distance of 406 miles, even after reloading the app page many times. I believe it is accurate to state that the app mileage connection is malfunctioning.

Maintain your pace, my friend. I acquired it around one month ago, however I have not initiated a discussion or topic specifically related to it due to it not being an Audi.
-
Indeed, I am really enjoying it. Thank you. Acquiring knowledge about it requires some effort, which is beneficial since it necessitates treating it with reverence.

Congratulations, it seems impressive.

I suspect that a heating element may have been damaged, maybe due to burnout. However, I cannot confirm with absolute certainty if this element is really a component of the crankcase ventilation system. According to the ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature) data, when the temperature rises and the fan starts running, that side seems to be functioning well.

Based on your statement, it seems that you have replaced the exhaust vanos sprocket with the TC kit. I would suggest replacing both vanos. Was the kit an authentic BMW product or an FAI kit purchased directly from a retailer? Some of the more inexpensive kits are of poor quality. I am not asserting that it was the case, I am just verifying. VVT solenoids must be either original BMW or authentic Pierburg, since other alternatives do not respond with sufficient speed. Additionally, during the reconstruction, did you substitute the 4 rectangular rings located at the ends of the cams? It is imperative that only authentic BMW plastic replacements be used for this purpose. If these components are worn or cracked, they may have caused damage to the head, resulting in the loss of oil pressure. Hopefully, this provides some direction.

Although it may deviate from the main issue, I believe it is important to discuss as it pertains to the maintenance of vehicles. As previously said, our primary focus is on servicing the VAG group. There is a significant number of online accounts detailing instances of VW/Audi DSG/Stronic and Haldex malfunctions, which are often described as horror tales. The primary issue is in the use of inappropriate lubricants and the lack of regular or even nonexistent service. Customers approach us with these concerns whenever difficulties develop. A client contacts us and reports that their Haldex system is experiencing issues. They mention that they had a comprehensive service performed on it last year at the authorised dealership. Audi does not inform the client that there is a filter designed to endure the whole lifespan of the vehicle, which is only changed when a completely new unit is needed. During a service, Audi merely changes the oil and does not replace the filter. The aforementioned filter gets obstructed, impeding the proper functioning of the Haldex system. Fortunately, we install aftermarket filter kits on a complete service basis. Typically, the forums tend to focus on sharing negative experiences rather than positive ones. Take excellent care of your automobile to ensure its life, since neglecting regular maintenance may be detrimental. For customers with a VW Passat, the cost of frequent oil changes is more economical compared to the expense of purchasing a new engine.
