MB warranties, like all warranties, have an element of risk. Your automobile may operate without issues for an extended period, or it may encounter significant problems. I owned a 2016 E350 S212 that I bought brand new. When the warranty was about to expire, I looked into extending it and found that a one-year Mercedes-Benz warranty would cost approximately £499. I planned to purchase the warranty, but I forgot to renew it immediately. When I checked again a couple of weeks later, which was already past the three-year warranty period, the price had significantly increased to around £800. Consequently, I decided not to purchase any warranty. After a trouble-free ownership period of five and a half years, I successfully sold the automobile.

I did not see any water in the footwells, particularly not under the floor mats. Is it the location you are referring to? I had previously removed the bcm module and found that everything was completely dry. Tomorrow, I will examine the steering module. It is peculiar how the presence of water on the floor caused the module to malfunction, namely the modules located near the steering wheel. Thank you once again for your responses.

Thank you for your response! Currently, the indicators, window wipers, headlamp selection switch, and the push button for MPG and other functions are not functioning. The headlights are continuously illuminated, and when I connected it to a snap-on diagnostic tool, it indicated that there is a short circuit or open circuit on lines 1 to 5 of the N80 steering column switch. I will examine it tomorrow.

And how did you get to steering module ?

What was the resolution to your issue, if any? Currently, I am experiencing a similar problem. The Snap-on tool indicates the presence of a N80 steering module, which I presume is the black rectangular item seen in one of your photographs. The other one refers to the BCM.

Upon examining several websites and social media platforms, many have expressed concerns over the current state of claim payments. If you have sold a significant number of units, you should be capable of providing a response. What is the total number of engine replacements that Fidelity has had to handle in Gen 2 R8 vehicles? Can you provide more precise information on the proportion of gold/platinum plans for Gen 2 R8 that have undergone engine replacement? What is the number of individuals who have had to replace significant components that surpass the expenses of a gold/platinum plan? I am interested in determining the number of lost plans for Fidelity. Could you provide a particular percentage for the Gen 2 R8?

If you get it at a low cost, I believe you are in good shape. I am unable to justify spending 7-9k (or more) on a hypothetical situation in my situation. I have had my automobile since January 2018, and I have consistently maintained the servicing and promptly addressed any issues that arose. My maintenance expenses are still covered by the mileage of 60,000 miles. These automobiles have a high degree of durability. Turbo vehicles with factory internals are generating more than 1300 rwhp. My 610 motor has a low horsepower. Upon doing study, it becomes evident that Fidelity is no longer only engaging in transactions for the purpose of payment.

I have made the decision to go for self-insurance for my 2017 Plus (36,000 miles) instead of allocating a budget of 7-8k towards Fidelity or any other extended warranty provider. I believe that having a budget of 7-10k for repairs would be sufficient, as opposed to transferring such funds to a corporation that is very probable to reject the claims. After doing thorough study, I have seen that even the esteemed Fidelity is increasingly refuting several assertions when searching outside this forum. The expiration of my platinum policy occurred in the previous month, resulting in a dual coverage arrangement between the factory Audi warranty and my Fidelity platinum. Consequently, I only received the advantages of three out of the six-year period for which I made the purchase of the vehicle in January 2018. If the cost was almost twice what it used to be? (Obviously, the selling dealer is increasing the price of these items by 2-10 times their original cost.) These automobiles are rather dependable, and because I no longer drive as often as I used to, the probability of a catastrophic event occurring is minimal.

If you fail to re-tax your electric vehicle (EV) this month, will it be possible to do so by the end of March 2025?

Thank you.

Please provide the identification for these three relays.

Today, I replaced the battery with a fresh one. I saw that the earth lead, where it is fastened to the chassis, was significantly rusted, so I proceeded to clean it. The starting motor now rotates at a much higher speed. I also performed maintenance on the contacts of the remaining 614 relays. I saw heat marks on them, but when removing the body surround, I found that their condition was not significantly deteriorated. Does anybody has a method for identifying the relays?

I am sceptical about it. The automobile did eventually start, although it took a longer time than usual. The problems arose after the car had started.

Is there anybody who has a key to the relays shown below? I have already cleaned the relay indicated by the black arrow located at the bottom left of the image. I am curious about the other relays.

No, I did not. I had a moment of confusion, but it seemed like there was a problem with the electrical power. I saw that the LED cluster on the dashboard was pulsating, becoming bright and then somewhat dimmer, which was out of the ordinary. After I cleaned the secondary air pump relay, I saw a group of additional relays that I have heard others talk about replacing. Could these relays be related to the issue?

The battery voltage was satisfactory, since I had just removed it from the charger and the starter operated at a high speed. However, I will monitor it closely in the future.

Today, I initiated the engine of the v8 vehicle to move it out of the garage. After disconnecting the trickle charger, I attempted to start the engine, but it took three times longer than normal. Furthermore, the engine exhibited irregular behaviour, including rough idling, stuttering, and failure to increase in RPM when the throttle was applied. It seemed as if the engine was not functioning properly on all eight cylinders and was at risk of stalling. I deactivated and then rebooted, but the same issue persisted. Due to my laptop's power failure, I was unable to connect the vaccom. As a substitute, I connected a basic one and saw the pictures shown below. After restarting the automobile, it functioned flawlessly as if no previous issues had occurred, running smoothly and pleasantly. According to my friend, the issue might have been caused by a faulty secondary air pump relay. I found the relay, cleaned it, and it functioned properly. I then drove the vehicle for a drive and it operated smoothly, just as it usually does. I have purchased an additional relay as a precautionary measure. However, I would appreciate any suggestions on the contacts and have conducted a vagcom output test on it.

Greetings, everyone! I am a newcomer and thrilled to join the community. I own a Range Rover P38 and I am interested in making off-road enhancements. What do experienced off-road enthusiasts suggest? I would appreciate any recommendations for optimising the performance of the Range Rover P38. Thank you in advance!

When I checked other comparison sites for my E-Niro insurance, I found no considerably cheaper options, so I decided to stick with my current provider.

I installed technology-based seat bases, and they functioned well. The adjustment brought me around 3/4 inches closer to the ceiling, but being 6 feet 4 inches tall, I still fit comfortably.

I find it amusing when folks wear sunglasses while driving in really overcast circumstances. Avoid using alcohol and drugs, individuals 😛

Curiously, one of the maintenance tasks for MB vehicles is to adjust the lights. However, I have doubts about the frequency with which this task is really performed.

The optician I visited in another country performed many procedures on my eyeglasses at a much lower cost compared to the prices in the United Kingdom. I must acknowledge that they perform really well.
