  1. On the A207, the AMG 7 Twin spokes were also offered in a square configuration with front and rear tyre sizes of 235/35/19 (I assume the OP's rear tyre size is a typo).
  2. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=petrol engine&campid=5338181132&customid=2518X1570512Xe93a22757d556808f81ba08dfa35d3f8&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&subId2=15&toolid=10001
  3. Please articulate your concerns in English if you require assistance. What do you mean by "getting started"? A plug-in hybrid has initiated operation despite the petrol engine being inactive. Is the petrol engine failing to start smoothly? "Abruptly, when it begins to leap..." "Advances it"? Does it operate similarly to an automatic gearbox equipped with a torque converter? I question whether forum members can articulate "what you may be"; did you intend to convey "what it may be," the issue?
  4. Indeed, it is suboptimal, and this appears to be a widespread problem internationally with the D7UF1 utilised in larger vehicles; the performance of the smaller equivalent, D7GF1, remains uncertain. The dual-mass flywheel may potentially be a problem. I saw that certain manufacturers have forsaken dual-clutch systems, with the ZF 8-speed gearbox gaining prominence in numerous larger applications; nonetheless, there are even accounts of its disintegration. The dealer raised no objections, and the technician indicated that the service will be performed in accordance with a Technical Service Bulletin from the manufacturer. I perceived that they were quite knowledgeable about the problem. Upon collection, I was informed that the clutch had been replaced and the TCU control logic had been upgraded. Currently, there is a significant enhancement in its performance; it predominantly used first gear at low speeds and no longer attempts to accelerate in second gear from 2-3 mph as it previously did, indicating deliberate efforts to refine gear selection and minimise clutch wear. It is hoped that this will now demonstrate more durability. In the OP's situation, I am doubtful that the dealer effectively rectified the issue on the initial attempt, given the rapid recurrence of the error over a short distance. However, as you mentioned, we must ascertain the specific work that was performed.
  5. In the UK, the sole automatic transmission available for the third generation Ceed (CD) was the 7-DCT with a dual dry clutch; a conventional torque converter was not provided. Gear selection and clutch engagement are facilitated by electric servo motors. The sole oil present lubricates the gears similarly to a manual transmission. The predominant concerns pertain to the clutch, whereas the remainder appears to be quite durable. I am eager to learn about its prior modifications. My vehicle necessitated a new clutch pack at 40,000 miles, which was fortunately covered under warranty. Despite my fondness for the automobile, I do not foresee retaining it past the warranty time for this reason.
  6. I have never seen mine; they snap at the tips. This is only apparent while navigating corners aggressively. My car is not driven recklessly, since I adhere to speed restrictions approximately 90% of the time.However, they failed; I have owned an E90 330d and an E92 335, and the rear components fractured when stationary in the driveway, as did the front components on the E90.I attribute the issue to speed humps; residents in areas with harsh conditions experience this problem. In my locality, some speed humps necessitate driving at 1 mph, which is detrimental to any suspension system. I consulted a garage owner with 40 years of experience, and he indicated that since the implementation of speed humps, the frequency of suspension component replacements has consistently increased.
  7. The rear components of my 2017 F82 M4 have failed at 36,000 miles. I replaced all four for reassurance, opting for Eibach Sport Pro, which was far more economical than BMW parts.
  8. I am exceedingly satisfied with the MHEV. Turbo S Performance Package
  9. Not really had anything to do with the later B48 so cannot really comment on them.
  10. Indeed, they are substandard; also, as you have said, they experience crank end float, which damages the pistons. Refrain from engaging with them, since their adjustments are not worth the inconvenience.
  11. Has the vehicle undergone remapping? If executed poorly, increased fuel pressure may cause the car to enter limp mode under load.
  12. Strange. I discarded my Mercedes me adapter when support ceased and the application became nonfunctional. I cannot get why someone would desire to purchase one; the dongle is ineffective without the application. I now lament not selling it on eBay.
  13. I just had a haircut and colour done by a local mobile stylist, which cost £150.
  14. Thank you, please detach the bumper and thread it through the sensor grommet.
