  1. To be honest, it is no longer under warranty. I would seek a local independent establishment to service the vehicle. Kia will determine the service schedule based on the year of registration instead than actual mileage.
  2. Have the DPF inspected; I suspect the mileage is genuine, since it is rather questionable to me.
  3. Thank you. Enquiring about the most effective driving methods over long trips given the rapid battery depletion.
  4. Hello, I am operating a new XC60 Recharge in Hybrid mode and depleting the battery almost every day while urban driving. Is it usual to never hear the petrol engine start when in hybrid mode? What if I choose to engage in highway driving after a day in the city; I will have depleted battery power and will be operating only on petrol? What are your thoughts? Thank you.
  5. I use a Foxwell NT520 diagnostic tool equipped with the BMW package. Appears to have access to the majority (if not all) modules...
  6. What is the purpose of an OBD reader? For example, the topics include brand, capabilities, bidirectional, and definition files. Any generic parts or components are practically ineffective on these vehicles. In order to get all the codes, it is necessary to have BMW-specific definition files.
  7. I understand. Hopefully, this implies that I will get the MY25 version rather than the MY26 version. It seems that they are attempting to position the Shadow model as a more affordable alternative to the GT Line S by eliminating some of the features seen in the GT Line. If I were to place an order at this moment, the Shadow seems to be the most advantageous option if you are unable to afford the GT Line S.
  8. Upon placing my purchase, I distinctly recall that the GT Line was specified to come with "3 zone air conditioning," leading me to infer that it would have rear air controls, while the 3 grade would have "2 zone" air conditioning. The revised statement clarifies that the GT range no longer includes rear air conditioning. The whole information may be found at the following link: https://www.kia.com/uk/new-cars/sportage/specification/ It is my hope, as well as the hope of others, that we will get the exact specification we requested. Is this the updated specification for the next model year? Are you able to identify any further alterations?
  9. I visited the Kia website out of curiosity to learn more about the newly introduced "Shadow" grade. I have placed an order for a GT Line MY25 and it is expected to arrive shortly. Upon reviewing the specification page, I saw that it has been updated for all models. The primary change is the BHP for the Hybrid variant. The initial power output was 226 brake horsepower (bhp), however it was then revised to 212 bhp on my order form. Currently, the reported power output stands at 207 bhp.

    Well done! I am like of the colour - it is very pleasing. I am now anticipating the arrival of the mail. "I long for my R8 so I purchased another one!" 😉
  11. Regarding the charger, wireless chargers, regardless of brand, are well known for their lack of power. These devices are designed just to prevent the phone from losing power, but they do not have the capability to recharge it.
  12. Oops, I completely overlooked the fact that this is an outdated discussion!
  13. If you visit Facebook and become a member of the C63 AMG UK group, you will find that Boon Kang is one of the administrators. If you are really interested, he can provide assistance with any inquiries since he has just installed an ESS supercharger.
  14. It is coincidental that I have had the same difficulty in the last several weeks. The symptoms are same and may be resolved by disabling the DTC. Kindly inform me of your progress in resolving this issue. 👍
  15. Can you confirm with absolute certainty that the component numbers are identical? various component numbers correspond to variations in the wiring of the sensors to various pins. It may be advisable to consult Mercedes components to determine the accurate part number for the automobile. It is possible that the item has been previously replaced and the external casing does not match the inside circuit board. To verify whether it corresponds, you might perhaps connect your original device and get the component number from the diagnostic machine.
  16. She has one of them in her Leon. The product functions well and is constructed using durable aluminium materials, as opposed to low-quality plastic materials. According to IanW, the charging speed is quite sluggish. However, if your intention is only to maintain your phone's battery level while using it, it is absolutely acceptable.
  17. In a prior post, you said that the vehicle did not accelerate smoothly from a junction. However, your latest post indicates that this issue only occurs when the vehicle is in 6th gear. At what velocity are you travelling in 6th gear, and what is the engine's RPM when the problem occurs? The 6th gear will have a very high ratio, specifically intended for efficient cruising on motorway-like routes rather than for quick acceleration. (Apologies if this comes off as patronising, but you said that you are not knowledgeable about cars.) If the engine revolutions increase while the speed remains constant, it indicates a potential issue with the clutch sliding. Does the automobile exhibit a rapid acceleration or maintain the same speed when you downshift (e.g., from 6th gear to 4th gear) and fully use the throttle?
  18. The cost for diagnostics is £95, and the cost for putting a Nox sensor is £200. Would it have been advisable to accept the monetary offer? No, it is really referred to as tranquilly. Given that the vehicle is now 5 years old, it seems reasonable to take the risk of paying £40 a month until the new car comes. This decision might potentially benefit the seller if the car is still covered by warranty at the time of sale.
  19. After the expiration of my 3-year warranty on my MB, I acquired a 2-year extended warranty for £700.00. In December, I made a claim for a replacement NOX sensor. I have purchased a new automobile that is expected to arrive in September. However, the warranty on my current car is expiring at the end of this month. Therefore, I extended the warranty last week for a monthly fee of £40.00 until I decide to cancel it.
  20. A few years ago, I visited the MB Centre in Nottingham and was very impressed. However, I decided not to accept their offer to wash my vehicle with a power washer and dirty wash mits, since I didn't want my car to have visible swirl marks when I got it back.
  21. The presence of carbon in the engine compartment greatly enhances its aesthetic appeal, making it far more distinctive. Is it accurate to say that the trim differs between DCT and manual versions in both the facelift and pre-facelift cars?
  22. Hello, I am unable to provide a straight response to your question about reprogramming. However, I strongly advise you to carefully consider the consequences before proceeding. Are you really willing to risk the possibility of a single unintended button push in your pocket causing your car's hatch to open, especially if you are within range but unable to see your car?
  23. I am currently located in South East London, but, I am open to travelling if an individual with the necessary expertise is able to rectify the issue.
  24. There is a substantial amount of material to analyse and carefully evaluate the facts. I appreciate your assistance as it is quite beneficial.
