  1. 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.
  2. 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?
  3. The speaker is located on the right side.
  4. Please provide the identification for these three relays.
  5. 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?
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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?
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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!
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. I find it amusing when folks wear sunglasses while driving in really overcast circumstances. Avoid using alcohol and drugs, individuals 😛
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. I recommend doing the aforementioned action prior to contacting insurance. Keep in mind that any claim made against you will be resolved and will result in expenses for you.
  18. Indeed, I believe that was his intended course of action. Additionally, there are some units that seem to be original equipment manufacturer (OEM). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225845191807?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338749392&toolid=20006&_trkparms=ispr=1&amdata=enc:12lba7D_pTu-xxZXJlqfm1A15&customid=GB_131090_225845191807.148038182292~1869570359649-g_EAIaIQobChMImqT0lbCwgwMVPJRQBh2K-wkkEAQYCSABEgL7JfD_BwE
  19. My relative has a CLC and wants to have Apple CarPlay as well. This device seems to be suitable for that purpose.
  20. Thank you to both individuals. Well-balanced feedback
  21. Greetings, I am on the verge of purchasing a 2021 facelift E300DE. I am highly delighted by my test drive. I am curious whether you have encountered any challenges or potential pitfalls? Thank you in advance.
  22. How can you determine the specific moment at which he was engaged in the activity?
  23. It is possible to get reconditioned or replated items, although the cost may not be any lower than purchasing a new set. Perhaps the individuals responsible for servicing your wheels might provide guidance?
