  1. Record videos! I hope that fid3lity does not discover this topic!
  2. If you possess the necessary cable, we are pleased to provide remote coding services to you.
  3. $50,000 is an aspiration. If he is prepared to sell it for $65k, it is likely one of the most affordable options available.
  4. I had used every available space. I own a video but am uncertain about the step to post it. It continued to ascend with great success. In the future, I will remove the rear wing.
  5. The gas cap cover was indeed present. The splitting mechanism had fractures at its mounting places.
  6. I have been extended an invitation to attend an event hosted by Kennedy Space Centre. You have the opportunity to operate a vehicle on the former shuttle runway, which spans a distance of 3 miles. In the same location, Stradman acquired his koenigsegg. The Audi achieved a score of 203.7. The most rapid vehicle available! I had a strong sense of excitement. During one of my runs, I had a catastrophic explosion of an aftermarket splitter at a speed of 195mph. Additionally, I misplaced my carbon fibre fuel door cover. No harm was inflicted against the vehicle. Here are some photographs. Additionally, I had the opportunity to visit NASA with a former load master who was involved in the shuttle project. Additionally, we had the opportunity to see the cyber truck mule in operation, however we were prohibited from capturing photographs or recordings due to the extensive testing conducted at the facility. I highly suggest.
  7. I eagerly anticipated his evaluation, anticipating that it would be quite positive in comparison to the I-6 Turbo. Indeed, it was. The PHEV has much superior functioning compared to the I-6. Formal testing on both road and track has unequivocally shown that it surpasses the I-6 in terms of speed, with a 0-60 time of 5.9 seconds. I am uncertain if he had a test drive of one of the Canadian vehicles, which would account for his characterization of it as "clunky". I assert this since the majority of the grievances expressed on this site are from Canadians. The construction of my Phev took place in late June 2023, and I was lucky enough to get the TCU modifications. I am uncertain about the power train's clumsiness that he is referring to. The noise emitted by the electric motor. Perhaps I am hearing impaired. The combination of a reliable 2.5 NA motor and a large electric motor with 2 clutches is very innovative. I am quite fond with the functionality. The level of quality and finish shown by the new automobile I have acquired is unparalleled in my personal experience. Last week, I received a phone call from my dealership, who requested my presence in order to facilitate the recall of the steering gear spring. Although I was not harmed, I still entered. The duration was 30 minutes. That is the appropriate conduct for a vehicle firm. Rapid and effective. To anyone contemplating a purchase: 1. Acquire the PHEV. 2. Avoid excessive contemplation of the complaints occurring on this forum. Offspring of a B--ch. A thread emerged over the presence of hazardous substances inside the interior due to the off-gassing of the coating. Certain individuals,......JEEEZ 3. Avoid becoming indolent. Irrespective of the inherent foolishness, it is advisable to engage in a breach of the fuel motor. You will much like the mileage, which is far superior than the information provided here. At intervals of 1000, 2500, and 5500, I performed an oil change. During the first miles, the engine will experience accelerated wear and breakage compared to any other point in its lifespan. ***For those who own an SUV. Leases will get the standard operational waste that the dealer will dispose of. I consistently adhere to the "severe duty" guidelines for all of the cars in my possession. I made a cash payment for my PHEV. I use a PAO synthetic material that is far superior to the recycled mineral oil waste that is often referred to as synthetic. Additionally, I have implemented a fumoto oil valve, which facilitates efficient and reliable oil changes. Additionally, a SETRAB HYPER-FLOW surgical stainless steel oil filter is used, boasting a flow rate that is four times greater than that of a Madza oil filter. Additionally, it has a depth of 25 micron and is equipped with a rare earth magnet at its base. By manually threading, you simply eliminate the muck by using brake cleaner, allowing you to see its removal. Mazda oil filters have a maximum capacity of 35-40 microns and significantly decrease flow. During the video examination of the steering gear, the technicians took note of the aforementioned issues. The remarks made were as follows: "Indeed, your seriousness is commendable."
  8. I am curious to know whether the (in)famous Elk test will still be successfully passed with an additional weight of 100 kg placed on the roof. 😄
  9. I appreciate the gratitude from both of you. That would be logical. I am consistently sceptical about the manual due to the inclusion of information labelled as "unknown at time of printing." Consequently, I prefer to verify the accuracy of the information independently.
  10. Does anybody have information on the specific roof load capacity for my car? Upon entering my Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), I am unable to see any information pertaining to weight restrictions. I am interested in determining the maximum weight capacity of the roof box that may be carried on my 2015 E-Class Coupe, which is equipped with a panoramic roof. The handbook specifies a standard weight limit of 100kg, but it does not clarify if this applies to automobiles equipped with a panoramic roof. I suspect that the weight limit for such cars may be lower. I have made extensive efforts to do a thorough search, but the solution is not readily apparent. The sticker on the door frame does not seem to indicate it either. Assistance in any kind would be much appreciated. Greetings
  11. I used their services to get mine: http://www.compressor-express.co.uk/ Excellent service! Consider refurbishment as an alternative. http://www.compressortech.co.uk/mission.php I have not used them yet.
  12. I've frequently looked at photographs of 2017s for sale, it appears the failure rate is > 50% IMO. Undoubtedly, this is a manufacturing flaw, and I am pleased that Audi is taking responsibility for it. Despite being stored in a garage, my automobile nevertheless experienced delamination.
  13. you do understand what website you are on right? One may get reprimands if their door cards have fingerprints in this vicinity 🙂 (not from me, of course!)
  14. The issue with applying spray to the joints is that it eliminates the noise. Thus, I would remain unaware 😞 However, I believe that if the temperature drops, it will come back.
  15. Greetings, Thank you for your response. The fluid level has never been altered and remains at the correct level. However, the noise I heard was not the typical groaning sound produced by the PAS pump, but rather a squeak originating from the front driver's side wheel. Even the children observed it, laughing out loud. There are no creaking sounds coming from the engine or the passenger side.
  16. Greetings, everyone. During the recent period of very low temperatures (ranging from 0 to -5 degrees Celsius last week), my 2012 Mercedes-Benz C250 CDI S204 model had a pronounced and disruptive squeaking sound originating from the front right suspension. This noise was particularly noticeable while making turns, whether when driving, manoeuvring out of intersections, or even when stationary and twisting the steering wheel from left to right. Based on my extensive study on YouTube, it seems that the source of the noise is likely a worn ball joint, since there are other videos documenting the same issue. With the increase in temperature by 5-6 degrees Celsius, the issue has fully disappeared. Complete absence of sound. Do you believe these are the first indications of a deteriorating ball joint, and do you anticipate that the situation will deteriorate further? Alternatively, what other possibilities may exist? It was really unfavourable. I have scheduled an appointment with my nearby expert, but they are unable to examine the automobile until many weeks from now. However, I am contemplating if they will be unable to detect any issues because the noise has ceased. I would like for them to identify a possible problem and rectify it before it escalates into a real one. The vehicle is a 2012 model with 128,000 km on the odometer and comes with a complete record of all maintenance and repairs. What are your opinions and recommendations?
  17. The bulb is likely an HIR2, which stands for 'halogen infra red 2'. Alternatively referred to as a 9012. Utilised in some models of Vauxhall Insignias and Amperas. Additionally, there are a few compact Toyotas available, such as the Yaris. It is rather uncommon. If I recall correctly, Halfords did not have these in store until around 5 years ago. The ECP pricing seems to be on the higher side. If you can endure the delay, I would recommend making the purchase online. I would get a pair since they often malfunction in rapid succession, and the "brighter" ones (regardless of the brand) have a much shorter lifespan. The initial equipment mostly consisted of Philips, with Toshiba being a secondary option. Philips manufactures many sorts of products with varying intensities. If your items are authentic, they will most likely be labelled as Philips LL. I understand this to imply an extended lifespan (with typical magnitude). The Optibrite bulbs, manufactured by Philips, are supplied by Toyota dealers. However, it is worth noting that these bulbs have a stated life expectancy of just 500 hours. It is likely that you have discovered that a single bulb is responsible for both high and low beams, achieved by a mechanism including a solenoid-driven mechanical shutter. Therefore, the malfunctioning of a single blown bulb has resulted in the failure of both beams in that headlamp. If both lights fail simultaneously (based on personal experience!), it may be rather unpleasant.
  18. Obtaining a guarantee for a battery from my motor supplier was a straightforward process. Last year, when I charged the battery in my wife's motor, it became apparent that one of the cells had malfunctioned.I presented the invoice and had no difficulties in exchanging it.
  19. The original poster (OP) is now active on this platform, reading this content. Observe the action I performed.
  20. I had the exhaust manifolds rebuilt on my Vito, which has the OM642 V6 engine. This required removing the engine and transmission. However, I wondered whether there might be easier access in a GL model. The manifolds possess a steel liner that may undergo delamination, resulting in the release of metal fragments into the turbocharger, necessitating the replacement of the turbocharger as well. Prior to this, I was unaware of any instances where manifolds have been reported to break, as described by the original poster (OP).
  21. Thank you for sharing the information. To be honest, I was unaware of it.
  22. I appreciate your response. I anticipated that would be the response. Currently, I am not experiencing the troublesome countdown problem. I have implemented a de-crystallising agent to address the issue. Additionally, I have contemplated removing the AD Blue system, but I am not well-informed about the potential consequences in terms of passing the MOT test, maintaining resale value, and complying with legal regulations.
  23. Many individuals have reported encountering problems with the engine management light, specifically the inability to read the AD Blue fluid level. I am experiencing this issue as well, although occasionally the correct reading does appear. For instance, it initially showed 8600 miles remaining, but has now decreased to 8300 miles. Despite the car functioning properly, the engine management light remains illuminated, causing concern. Additionally, the inability to consistently read the fluid level persists intermittently. The diagnostic check conducted by my local garage revealed that there is a defect with the AD Blue system. The garage believes that the issue is due to overfilling, and they suggested that the problem will resolve itself when the level of AD Blue reduces. However, further investigation indicates that it is not possible to repair only the level sensor, but rather the whole tank has to be replaced. The user's text consists of four pound signs (££££).
