  1. Secure a piece of string around the cord as a provisional solution; this may assist with support, however the light used is, to my knowledge, prevalent among many kinds.
  2. If the automobile is manufactured after 2015 or 2016, it is unlikely that the laptop locksmiths will have the necessary software available. Mercedes has not yet made it available for sale, as far as I know. Therefore, it is conceivable that the AA is adopting this strategy.
  3. I have had my keys duplicated in under 40 minutes, without the need to remove the dash. It is likely that they are also changing the electronic ignition switch (EIS) simultaneously. Will the doors still be able to lock and open with the provided key?
  4. Congratulations, gentlemen. Sherlock Holmes would commend your work.
  5. I have never previously seen this, but in vehicles equipped with digital tachometers, does the installation of a tune that increases the redline limit often appear on the display?
  6. I appreciate the responses from everyone of you. Excellent! I will proceed to get a CTEK charger. I value the advice of everyone.
  7. Greetings, May I inquire if it would be OK to use a trickle charger for this battery? Currently, I am uncertain if I came across information stating that certain batteries should not be connected to a trickle charger, or whether I am confusing this with something else I read. Before connecting a trickle charger to my vehicle, I thought it would be wise to inquire here. Any advice would be much appreciated πŸ™‚
  8. Record videos! I hope that fid3lity does not discover this topic!
  9. If you possess the necessary cable, we are pleased to provide remote coding services to you.
  10. $50,000 is an aspiration. If he is prepared to sell it for $65k, it is likely one of the most affordable options available.
  11. 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.
  12. The gas cap cover was indeed present. The splitting mechanism had fractures at its mounting places.
  13. 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.
  14. 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."
  15. 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. πŸ˜„
  16. 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.
  17. 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
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. you do understand what website you are on right? One may get reprimands if their door cards have fingerprints in this vicinity πŸ™‚ (not from me, of course!)
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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?
