  1. What equipment is required for this, or is it exclusive to garages?
  2. Thanks. I wasn't sure whether cleaning truly helped, or if a replacement was the only choice. I'm going to try these folks http://banbury.dpfcentre.com/#dpfsolution
  3. I own a 2009 E350 CDi coupe with under 72,000 miles, which I acquired at a low price from a friend a few years ago. It is mostly used for short trips to the gym or grocery shopping, since I work from home. Not optimal for a diesel, I acknowledge. My engine light has begun to pop up with fault code 148a00, which my code reader states is "The number of times the regeneration of the diesel particulate filter was performed is too high". The 1st time I reset it, placed 2 bottles of Wynns DPF cleaning in the tank and then drove it down the freeway for 90 minutes. It was satisfactory for a month, but then it returned. I undertook a similar endeavour; however, the drive lasted just an hour, and now, a week later, the light has reactivated. Is this the DPF itself, or a sensor, and what are my options?
  4. If your battery has to be replaced in the meanwhile, be sure to use an OEM standard - AGM. I purchased mine from a reputable local independent retailer, but they can also be obtained at a competitive price from MB Grangemouth.
  5. Upon contemplation, I am pondering if the original poster is referring to the Keyless (Start/Locking) feature, as opposed to Stop/Start.
  6. I must admit that I really despise Stop/Start! I was unaware of the presence of such feature in my R230.
  7. Contact Pacific. Tyler, the owner of German in Cali, performed the modification on his 2017 R8 Plus. Appears excellent. Another significant purchase is a new exhaust system.
  8. NCD, or No Claims Discount, is accumulated on a per-policy basis. If your wife is the primary policyholder for both the Peugeot and the second car, she will accrue No Claims Discount (NCD) for both vehicles. The policies are independent of each other, thus making a claim on one insurance will not impact the No Claims Discount (NCD) on the other policy. However, it is possible that the premium may increase due to the change in the driver's accident or claim history. The NCD entitlement is a shared resource among insurance companies via the MIB (Motor Insurers' Bureau, formerly known as the MID - Motor Insurance Database) to avoid fraudulent activities such as attempting to utilise the NCD from an existing policy with another company to get coverage for an additional car.
  9. They are also probably included in the owner's manual.
  10. The recommended tire pressures are mostly determined by the weight distribution on the axles, therefore variations in wheel design and tyre size do not significantly affect the recommendations provided by the manufacturer. Operate the machines at the suggested parameters and make necessary modifications to optimise both the comfort of the ride and the durability of the equipment.
  11. What information is shown on the label located on the fuel flap or the pillar of the driver's door?
  12. The wire in question is a faulty fuse located in the 7.5 amp black area of the fuse box in the trunk. The issue has been resolved.
  13. Excellent response------- Issue resolved; two defects identified and fixed. The radio module beneath the amp is experiencing a persistent power failure. Despite searching for a blown fuse, none have been found. The radio module itself may be the cause of the issue. After restoring power, the fuses blew due to the discovery of another constant source of electricity, which was connected to a fused spur. Thankfully, I immediately suspected the radio module or amplifier due to the presence of water traces. I purchased a replacement from Ebay, which resolved the issue. I hope this information proves useful to others.
  14. The drivers did not install the module.
  15. I own a right-hand drive European specification 2012 A5 with MM! 3G and a B&O amplifier. The issue is that the device powers up briefly and then shuts off, with the screen going black. I have disconnected the amplifier and tuner in the boot, and I have also had the amplifier inspected by a reputable business, which found no faults. If you remove the fibre optic cable from the head unit (the unit in the dashboard with the changer slot) and connect it to the screen, the screen will become functional and remain on. However, I am unable to locate where the media leads in the glove box connect to. They seem to disappear behind the passenger airbag. Is there a specific fibre optic unit that these leads should be plugged into, and if so, where can it be found? Additionally, could you provide information on the placement of the independent Bluetooth module? It seems that the problem is likely related to a fibre optic issue. Thank you.
  16. I am uncertain. It is always in an abnormal phase. After attempting a few times to go back, I found that the clearview mode is far superior, prompting me to promptly re-enable it.
  17. Although I lack expertise on this matter, the presence of copper in the oil might indicate bearing wear. Consequently, I consistently dispatch my oil to Blackstone whenever I do an oil change, often after covering an average distance of 3500 miles. Upon resuming your responsibilities, you may want to personally contemplate the option of paying an additional $40.
  18. What specific actions am I unable to do without the scroll? I want to delay the process of modifying the artwork for a short period of time.
  19. I can certify that my vehicle is equipped with COMAND, specifically the NTG4 system. What is your question or statement? Thank you for your responses!
  20. The vehicle in question is a 2011 w212 model.
  21. I am likely to do this. However, while anticipating this, what tasks or actions am I unable to do in the absence of the slide function?
  22. Thank you very much! However, specifically, what actions am I unable to do without the slide function? With the exception of the navigation zoom, I am aware of everything else.
  23. As a dealer, I am unable to negotiate after a contract has been signed. However, I would be happy to address any questions you may have. Specifically, if the scrolling capability is not available, and assuming that vertical and horizontal movements are functional, what limitations would I encounter?
  24. Greetings, I am now considering purchasing a w212, but, it seems that the rotation function on the command knob is not functioning. This seems to be a well-known issue with this particular model. I only like to ascertain if it is imperative to promptly replace it, or whether the absence of this rotation feature would not significantly impair the functionality of most command operations, such as changing the radio or setting the GPS. Thank you!
  25. Ensure that you get your wheel alignment inspected. The left rear likely need adjustment.
