  1. Are you seeking assistance and is that the most optimal effort you can make? Incidentally. The current emission standard for vehicles is Euro 5.
  2. Providing information about the specific car and engine type might facilitate assistance from others.
  3. Acquire fresh ABS wheel sensors, since they are susceptible to damage and difficult to extract and repurpose. If you are unable to get the appropriate servicing tools to detach the original front knuckle from its bearing/hub (in order to reuse the knuckle), it is advisable to purchase replacement front knuckles. While I do not officially support this, I must acknowledge that this is a cost-effective alternative. Two front left-hand and right-hand steering knuckles for a Land Rover Range Rover from 2010 to 2012 with a V8 5.0L engine are available for purchase on eBay. During the process of rebuilding the suspension, it would be advisable to also contemplate replacing the axle shafts. Rockauto.com and other aftermarket providers offer a variety of options from different vendors.
  4. It is important to note that although the 2014-2015 Gen 1 V10 vehicles are equipped with S-Tronic, they do not provide the same level of performance as the Gen 2 Plus models, even when comparing Gen 1 Plus to Gen 2 Plus. If performance is a priority for you, it is advisable to consider and compare both options by test driving them, since the Gen 2 model is much faster. However, I must express my admiration for the Gen 1 Plus model since it was a superb vehicle and visually more appealing than the Gen 2 (based on my own perspective).

    Perplexed

    In which locality are you situated? By sharing this information, other members may become aware of a trustworthy independent entity in your vicinity. (I apologise if I overlooked this before)
  6. You may also deactivate TPMS via VCDS and resolve the issue permanently.
  7. The availability of insurance coverage may vary based on geography, since many insurance firms have ceased providing services in certain locations.
  8. The redline of the Gen-1 V10 is 8,700 RPM in this US automobile. I cannot provide information on the redline of Gen-2 models. To the best of my knowledge, there is no factory specification for an 8,900 redline. Therefore, I believe that this value is just the result of a tuning modification.
  9. Regrettably, there is some unfortunate news. I hope the person who crashed into you has insurance that you may seek for reimbursement. Reach out to their insurance carrier and formally inquire about arranging a flatbed tow truck for the purpose of transfer. You will be exempt from shouldering any of that cost. Furthermore, I would take it to an official dealer. Enforcing a maximum bidding cost guarantees that all parties behave with honesty and fairness. May you achieve the highest level of achievement.
  10. I lack any aspirations for political power. Please approach and retrieve me, my beloved...
  11. Mercedes-Benz, Smart OEM Car audio harness pinouts diagrams @ pinoutguide.com
  12. Valid point; here is the hyperlink to the information: The pinout diagrams for the car audio harnesses of Mercedes-Benz and Smart OEM vehicles may be found at pinoutguide.com. The website is hosted by a Russian platform, however I do not believe it is a kind of KGB/FSB disinformation. Upon reflection, I must admit that I would not object to getting ensnared in a honey trap...
  13. Breaking news: I have successfully located the item I was searching for. 😄
  14. The model number of the audio system is MF2740, in case such information is useful.
  15. The vehicle is a 2008 CLK (W209) Convertible. I have uninstalled the head unit, which is a basic poverty spec Audio 20 model. It only has a single CD player and lacks features like as MOST compatibility, a CD changer, and navigation. The only additional feature it has is steering wheel volume control. The one unexpected aspect was the presence of two Fakra aerial connections instead of one. It seems that the 'vert model is equipped with two radio aerials as a standard feature, one located at the front and the other at the back, but lacking a roof aerial. Is there anybody who has a wiring diagram for the Audio 20 system? I need this diagram in order to determine the correct placement of components on the (NOS) Blaupunkt Stockholm 370 DAB BT single DIN head unit that I am installing.
  16. In addition, I had a 2010 model and had the frame reinforcement brackets retrofitted. However, instead of opting for welding, I chose to use aerospace glue. This was done just for the sake of tranquilly and no other motive. As previously said, the issue of frame cracking is greatly exaggerated.
  17. Spiderer - I am interested in knowing how your items were substituted. Did all four items become defective simultaneously, or was it a subset of the items and they just authorised the replacement of all four at once?
  18. We now have a newly manufactured original equipment manufacturer (OEM) rear mag ride shock absorber in stock, and it is being offered at a significant discount. If we may be of assistance, please send a private message.
  19. Sounds excellent. I will record it in my notebook and eagerly forward catching up at that time.
  20. Based on the reviews I have seen online, including on Rennlist and other forums, it seems that customers generally have had a favourable experience with Fidelity. I have also seen instances when the warranty exceeded its own cost. Several instances of unfavourable remarks I have seen include situations when an individual's expectations were not in line with the actual circumstances. For instance, we restored a defective component but declined to replace another component that the owner stated was also on the verge of failure, although not having actually failed yet. Although I have not yet seen their Facebook page, I will do so. A fidelity platinum is a plan that excludes certain individuals. Are you referring to Fidelity's denial of claims on legally obliged coverage when you say "they don't always pay"? Given this scenario, I anticipate a slew of legal actions being filed against them, which would get significant attention on both news outlets and social media platforms. I am unable to perceive that. Here, I am accompanied by Trenton...The validity of the guarantee extends beyond the mere replacement of the engine. The accumulation of little expenses for those who do not engage in do-it-yourself activities may be significant, particularly when carrying out tasks at a dealership. The determination of ROI is a personal task that requires considering factors such as the cost of admission, utilisation, and risk tolerance. If the price of the automobile is less than $10,000, spending $6.8,000 or less for a 10-year platinum warranty does not seem foolish. Regarding automobiles with higher mileage, I acknowledge that the warranty cost may be much more, and it is your responsibility to determine if it is worthwhile. It seems that in your situation, it is not, and I appreciate that.
  21. Is that so? This is prompting me to reconsider the 10-year fidelity warranty that I just acquired. However, I acquired it at a low cost due to the fact that my vehicle has less than 10,000 miles.
  22. I own an antiquated command, however it seems that it operates in a distinct manner.
  23. Apologies for the failure. I assume you have already examined the handbook by now.
