Excuse my stupidity, what is PPF?

Thank you for your prompt response. Did you obtain a recent MOT and service at the time of acquisition?

Greetings, I acquired a Kia Assured vehicle from a "Kia approved" franchise outlet in London. The vehicle was listed as "Kia Assured" on the official Kia website. It is my understanding that all Kia Assured vehicles are entitled to identical perks. The dealership informed me that they do not offer "driveaway insurance," necessitating payment for coverage on the day I got the vehicle. Is that typical? Is the franchise permitted to eliminate some advantages from the Kia Assured list? They stated that I do not own the £250 voucher for my initial insurance claim; nonetheless, I obtained an email from Kia confirming that I am entitled to this advantage and should not overlook it. Ultimately, when purchasing the vehicle, the dealer informed me that they had conducted a recent MOT and servicing. However, they did not comply, prompting me to request their immediate action. Is it customary to exhibit such poor transparency and perhaps dishonesty regarding MOT and servicing? Thank you.

The vacuum pump maintained a vacuum for 45 minutes but lost charge overnight. Upon pressurising the system with air, a nitrogen leak in the evaporator was ultimately identified.

There is invariably an exception. I presume they were not a franchised dealer.

Generally, if the vehicle requires servicing and you intend to trade it to a dealer, it is not advisable to incur the expense of servicing. If you are pursuing a private sale, the opposite applies. Unusual defects will deter private buyers, who are likely to assume that repairs have not been undertaken due to their high cost. Dealers may exhibit varying levels of worry.

'Capable' is the pivotal term in this context - MB opted to establish it as a permanent display, replacing the ambient temperature indicator; nevertheless, there is no obligation to maintain it as a permanent feature - this decision rests with MB. I owned several vehicles (non-MB) equipped with digital screens that allow toggling between mph and km/h, so fulfilling the legal need. It is unnecessary to have it permanently shown. Upon executing the 'UK Delete' modification (i.e., reverting the instrument cluster from UK specifications to non-UK), the vehicle remains compliant with UK regulations, as it retains the functionality to display speed in km/h, selectable via the instrument cluster menu. Nonetheless, as previously mentioned, this action will inhibit the use of the LCD display in the instrument cluster for any other purposes, perhaps prompting MB to provide this UK option for convenience. However, the vehicle will remain compliant with UK regulations despite using the non-MB variant of the instrument cluster.

It is not feasible to accomplish it. In UK vehicles, this location on the instrument cluster provides a constant display of the current speed in kilometres per hour. On vehicles not manufactured in the UK, this location on the instrument cluster indicates the ambient temperature. In UK vehicles, the ambient temperature must be accessed through the instrument cluster menus, as it cannot be permanently displayed at all times. For the past 20 years, MB has ceased equipping their vehicles with speedometers featuring dual dials, one for miles per hour and the other for kilometres per hour. Reverting the instrument cluster from UK to non-UK configuration is feasible; however, this modification will result in the km/h display being substituted with a constant ambient temperature display, necessitating the services of a professional equipped with an MB STAR diagnostic computer. This will evidently provide little assistance to you. You can select to display the current speed (in mph) on the central LCD of the instrument cluster from the menu; however, this will preclude the use of the LCD for any other functions, such as navigation instructions or mpg display

Indeed, those are the individuals in question.

Negative, as it is damaged.

As I am uncertain about what to search for, I kindly request the part number. Thank you

Does anyone possess the part number or a link, please? I have damaged one of the upper fittings.

I experienced this issue as well. The charging brick was replaced under warranty, resolving the issue.

@Captiva, Is there an MB expert located near Tonbridge?

Does it resonate with you?

The blades are rotating on the radiator fan.

I have just seen a YouTube video on the coolant technique. Summing numerical values, among other tasks. Impressive. No smoke emanating from the dipstick. I will inspect the engine fan presently. I appreciate your attention about this matter. Thank you.

I do not know the temperature. No indicator lights Absence of Limp mode. The oil cap of the car has not been removed for 11 months. The exterior surface of the coolant tank seems unusually hot, a sensation I have not before experienced, leading me to question its normalcy. I suspect it needs an oil change, since almost a year has elapsed. Consequently, if the oil level is low, the coolant temperature will increase. The hazy vapour emanating from the top may be dampness. There are no concerns with the automobile save for a burning rubber smell and the heated coolant reservoir. It may be the radiator. I want reassurance or confirmation of the normalcy of this situation.

LOL it is heated to the touch. The outside of the coolant tank feels hot to the touch.

Greetings. Today, I detected a burning odour like rubber. Upon opening the hood, I saw smoke emanating from the oil cap. Pale grey fog. Upon closer examination, I saw that the coolant tank (black plastic device) was warm to the touch. The coolant reservoir is at capacity. Has anybody else had this difficulty, or can someone clarify whether there is a problem?

Does the starter engage correctly, or does it emit a sound indicative of a depleted battery? Electric heaters may malfunction, resulting in battery depletion. Therefore, you may disconnect it for testing purposes.

Examine many VIN decoders first for a data card: https://www.lastvin.com/ Request an Oasis report from your local dealer for further information on the build specifications, including options, costs, and dates.

To me, a premium automobile necessitates wood; when I purchased my Jaguar XJ at 19, I cherished the walnut accents. The aluminium design evokes memories of my mother's Audi, which I find unremarkable. I have a strong preference for genuine carbon fibre, rather than a mere covering.

Based on the flag in your profile, we will infer that you have a B8.5 model with MMI 3G Plus that meets US specs. Just so you know, AT&T discontinued their 3G data service in the US quite a while ago, rendering the SIM card in your MMI completely worthless. Whatever the situation may be, the built-in data modem SIM in US-spec vehicles has nothing to do with Bluetooth phone communication. Verify that the phone is still linked in the TEL Setup settings
