Greetings, everyone. I own a 1995 W124 E220 and I am seeking a replica electronic key. The cost from the authorised dealer is £340 excluding VAT. Does anybody have knowledge of any alternate alternatives? I have attempted to engage with other local merchants, but, it seems that the age of the car is the primary obstacle. Thank you for taking the time to read my article.

If the automobile is operated within its electric vehicle (EV) range of around 20 miles (round trip), the driver may charge it for free at work and for a cost of 6p per kilowatt-hour (kWh) at home. A few years ago, I had a Volkswagen plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) which I seldom fueled up on most weeks. Instead, I would charge it overnight at a cost of just 30 pence each day. A vehicle with a 1972 registration plate should still have a portion of the original manufacturer's warranty remaining, and it is likely that BMW will provide extended warranty options.

Is it necessary to replace the timing chain on my 2013 X166 GL350?

It depends on the mileage. Could you provide the mileage? Could you please provide information on the service history? Occasionally, it is most advisable to refrain from intervening if something is not malfunctioning. However, it is often advisable to do preventive maintenance while you are already at that location. The duration for which you want to retain the automobile also plays a role. -
One of what, precisely? I am unable to find any illustrative examples in your article.

Procedure for removing sticky residue from the headlight switch panel
Carishme replied to VodScanner's topic in General
I had to do the same action on the multifunction buttons of my S210's steering wheel. Additionally, because the headlight switch panel of the S211 successor is in a deteriorated state, it seems that I will have to repeat the same process. The rubberized coating used by MB does not seem to be very durable. The panel of the S211 was initially satisfactory, but due to excessive enthusiasm during cleaning, I inadvertently created a conspicuous bare spot that is quite noticeable. One important point to note is that I used Isopropyl Alcohol as an initial softening agent, then removing the softened coating with my fingernail, and concluding the process with a thorough cleaning using GooGone. -
All of the aforementioned pieces were replaced due to a collision with a deer. The whole task was executed with a high level of professionalism. However, since the occurrence with the deer, the cooling fans have been operating continuously. The live data readings are satisfactory. Despite the presence of the P0070 signal, which suggests a defective sensor, the sensor is functioning properly. The cable leading to the sensor is recently installed, and the ambient sensor itself is also fresh. Therefore, it is perplexing as to why the code continues to reappear. An auto electrician has inspected the vehicle and has determined that there are no visible issues as everything seems to be in proper condition.

The problem I am facing is to an incident that occurred around one year ago, whereby I collided with a deer. My air conditioning condenser was harmed. I have substituted the air conditioning condenser and radiator. Since then, whenever I use the climate system, whether it's heaters or AC, the cooling fans operate at high speed. No error codes were detected and all real-time data measurements were within normal parameters. Thus far, I have made the following modifications in an attempt to remedy the problem of the cooling fans running continuously while I use the climate system. Recently acquired air conditioning condenser Replacement radiator Recently installed components include a new radiator temperature sensor, a new cylinder head temperature sensor, and a new thermostat housing. Updated air conditioning pressure sensor Pre-owned cooling fan housing in excellent functional condition Examined all the wiring for the cooling fan and confirmed that it is in proper working order. Due to the current cold weather, I am unable to drive without using my heaters since it is very chilly. Consequently, I connected the diagnostics tool to check for any error codes and discovered the presence of the ambient air temperature sensor circuit fault with code p0070. I attempted to use a functional ambient temperature sensor that I had connected, but the error persisted. I purchased a new wire loom and a new ambient air temperature sensor, both of which are authentic. After resetting the codes, the code reappears virtually instantly. I am unable to comprehend the reason behind the issue, since I have resolved any potential problems with the wiring by purchasing an authentic wire loom. Additionally, I have ruled out the possibility of a malfunctioning sensor by testing two previously used sensors that are in working condition, as well as a brand new, legitimate sensor. The temperature shown on my screen seems satisfactory, but I am uncertain about the necessary steps to resolve this problem completely.

Greetings, everyone. I own a 2016 model Vauxhall Insignia equipped with a 2.0-liter diesel engine. I am experiencing an issue with my temperature control/HVAC system. Approximately one year ago, I collided with a deer, and subsequently, I have had ongoing effects. Whenever I activate the heating or air conditioning, the cooling fans immediately turn on. Indeed, I am aware that when the air conditioning system is activated, the cooling fans are intended to work. However, I have seen that even when I switch on the heating function, the cooling fans immediately activate at a high speed. Despite turning off the air conditioning or heating fully, the cooling fans persistently operate at high speed and only cease functioning when I turn off the vehicle, lock it, and return to it after about five minutes. This issue has already caused my alternator to malfunction. Currently, I am apprehensive about using the heating system, particularly in this frigid climate, due to concerns about the electrical current and the strain it will have on the continuously running cooling fans. The only failure code detected by the diagnostic system is P0070, indicating a circuit issue with the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor. I have replaced the sensor with a new, authentic sensor and also replaced the wire loom with a new, authentic one. However, the error code persists even after clearing it. According to my online research, the presence of the P0070 fault code can affect the functioning of the air conditioning and heating system. This could explain why the cooling fans are constantly running and why the electronic control unit (ECU) activates the fans as soon as the AC or heating system is turned on, as the fault code is stored in the system. All sensors are functioning well, including the Ambient air temperature sensor. Is there anybody who can assist me since I have completely lost faith? Thank you.

Nowadays, the majority of automobiles are manufactured with the highest level of tint on both the windscreen and side windows.
