  1. New Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy to accept. I will inform you once you enter the vehicle.
  2. The signal is escaping. Tins and Faraday pouches may deteriorate and permit signal transmission. If the key is positioned beyond the designated range, the doors should remain secured. In 2025, the fob will also enter a dormant state. Consult the manual for further details.
  3. The incorrect location is rectified by selecting the maps page and the damaged circle located beneath the automobile icon near the bottom. A force reset is required, as the application does not automatically refresh to the Kia server and subsequently to the vehicle, in order to conserve the 12V battery. You should utilise the charger app to initiate charges, rather than Connect. If you lock the doors using the key fob or button and subsequently place the fob out of range, would the doors remain locked? Are you referring to securing the car while attempting to access the trunk? The boot will open if the key is within range, even while the doors are closed.
  4. A workaround exists for heating the GTLS on frigid mornings. If you are sufficiently close, you can utilise the remote start feature typically employed for park assist. My vehicle is stationed outside the kitchen window, which is convenient for me. Utilise the key fob to initiate the automobile remotely (Press [Lock], then press [Hold] within four seconds). The vehicle will initiate and operate for approximately ten minutes for defrosting and warming, utilising the present configuration settings. Ensure you configure the desired climatic settings prior to parking the vehicle the night before. The seat warmers can be integrated with the temperature control settings, enabling them to automatically activate when starting the vehicle.
  5. There is always the concern of the perpetual accumulation of unutilised funds in the accounts (i.e., DVLA's bank accounts) until they are disbursed. Provides them with more days to retain your funds. A payment card that was valid at the time of usage may no longer be effective. There are evidently methods to circumvent this issue; nonetheless, they can easily bear the expenses associated with printing and sending a check, given that they retain a substantial portion of surrendered Vehicle Excise Duty, and the procedure is plainly mechanised in contemporary times.
  6. Magic oil will conceal a loud engine if it is worn. It will not resolve the issue. What is the mileage? I own 3,651 vehicles equipped with engines, all of which produce significant noise during cold starts. They have accumulated 200,000 to 300,000 miles as well. It is often the injectors that are audible, rather than the lifters.
  7. I had a same issue with a 944 that I transported to the South of France many years ago, around the period when Jesus was a fullback for Jerusalem. I brought it to the local tire expert who said, "It's the tires!" However, the tires seemed to be in acceptable condition. Upon our return to the UK, it became evident that the tires had flattened or warped due to prolonged stationary positioning. It may be beneficial to explore this issue, since the vehicle has barely accumulated 10,000 miles over four years. Was it stationary for an extended duration? Potential solution? Purchase a set of rear tires and wheels on eBay, replace them, and assess any resultant differences. They can always be resold on eBay.
  8. I have done so. Substituted everything. Two remain. Size V10. The installation was not unpleasant. The couple exhibited resistance. I replaced all control arm bushings with spherical bearings. The cost of new control weapons was exorbitant at that time.
  9. If you mostly engage in brief excursions such as school shopping, it is advisable to avoid diesel vehicles. I possess no knowledge about hybrid vehicles, since I am used to my established preferences and want to continue using diesel for the foreseeable future.
  10. If this is unhelpful, several other YouTube videos demonstrate the replacement of bulbs in the Mercedes E-Class.
  11. A new tank from eBay has unexpectedly resolved the problem. We will determine the duration, however.
  12. My 2018 E Class Cabriolet (46,000 miles) is equipped with a 10-liter AdBlue tank, and I have consistently replenished it with 5 litres of AdBlue, including an anti-crystal component, immediately upon the activation of the warning sign. This week, it determined that it could no longer interpret the level. P13E7FD error code reappears immediately upon clearance. I lowered the tank, discharged 6 litres of AdBlue, then inserted a borescope to inspect for any apparent issues. I saw crimson specks scattered across the area and on the white mesh at the tank's base, however there was no apparent issue. I anticipated crystals or a similar substance. I purged it with AdBlue, replenished it with 4 litres of fresh AdBlue, and reconnected it. No satisfaction. Frustratingly, once clearing the code, the dashboard display correctly indicates 4L of fluid for a brief while before reverting to 'Cannot measure fluid level.' A new tank, with a pump that is unnecessary due to the absence of any faults, costs £1300. A comparable used tank of similar age is priced at £250 on eBay; hence, I will pursue that option first. I wanted to share this in case anyone believe they can successfully 'clean' the tank to resolve a level sensor malfunction.
  13. This vehicle is classified as Approved Used; however, I have not yet reviewed its service history. Thank you for the notification.
  14. Not as anticipated, but valuable information nevertheless; thank you both.
  15. Does anybody have insights about dealers' existing flexibility in pricing authorised old cars? I previously had a clear understanding of my position before to engaging with a salesperson; but, after leasing for an extended period, I am now uncertain about the changes that have occurred over the last five years. I am interested in a pre-owned G05 X5. On one side, it is at the upper limit of my budget, therefore I would want to negotiate a reduction; nevertheless, we have a good rapport with the sales manager that I do not like to jeopardise. I would prefer to begin with a bold but respectful offer.
  16. Thank you very much. I will also consider other possible actions. It is worth noting that my independent GLM (garage, mechanic, or technician) is very skilled and competent. He successfully replaced the brake lines by removing the subframe himself, and the cost for this work was only GBP 760. It is intriguing to compare this with the fact that MB (Mercedes-Benz) would charge GBP 560 for the same service without including the labour for removing the subframe. However, this is the reality of the situation.
  17. The only concern with having MB do extra work is the possibility of incurring exorbitant labour expenses for the other items. However, if an independent mechanic were to undertake the task, the process of removing and reinstalling the subframe alone would need a minimum of 5 hours of effort. Therefore, it could be justifiable to have MB handle the job. If you are willing to provide a quotation for the brake lines and other components, it would be very appreciated as a benchmark for when I take my vehicle to MB Beaconsfield.

    pleasant Does it include a pipe?(My grandfather drove a Cadillac)
  19. This individual demonstrated to me an alternative variant where the same key is affixed to the electrical green plate-chip, rendering the battery non-removable. Even if I am able to access it, I am completely unfamiliar with the contents and have no understanding of its organisation. It is all completely incomprehensible to me. Which IT expert is knowledgeable about these cryptographic keys? Are you looking for an electrician, a mechanic, or someone skilled in locksmithing?
  20. However, could you please clarify the mechanism by which it opens? Additionally, do we have access to any video footage that demonstrates the opening process?
  21. According to someone, the issue is likely caused by a malfunctioning microswitch in the lock button.However, I lack the knowledge or understanding on how to rectify that issue.
  22. I have seen it, but, there is no pertinent information present. Discovered an email address, likely intended for German nationals. https://www.bmw.de/de/footer/metanavigation/bmw-kontakt/bmw-kundenbetreuung.html
  23. Notef It would be desirable, but, they consistently refuse to acknowledge any wrongdoing. I will never visit the dealership again! A month ago, I had an issue with the red oil pressure warning light.Ultimately, they made an incorrect diagnosis which resulted in a financial loss of 1700 euros for me. Furthermore, they are attempting to evade accountability by claiming that they followed proper procedures, despite evidence to the contrary. Furthermore, BMW Greece provides assistance to them. Does anybody know the email address for BMW Germany's consumer complaints centre?
  24. No, but, as I previously said in another discussion, my automobile has been sent to the dealership many times this year for repairs. It is now time for me to get the car following the completion of the repair work. The specific issue with the car was related to the key fob.It is likely that they have caused damage to it in some way. It is peculiar that the only issue is the inability to lock the doors, which suggests that the battery is not the problem. Is my assumption incorrect? Did they manipulate it in a way that caused it to malfunction, such as decoding it in some manner? It is possible that they may have damaged the lock button, causing it to malfunction. The lock button was functioning properly before they had access to the car, prior to it being sent to the dealership for servicing. Mechanics have been known to do damage to our vehicles.
