  1. Replaced with authentic MB chocolate springs and installed Eibach springs with Bilstein shock absorbers; the issue has been resolved.
  2. If it is the rechargeable type (i.e., not Comfort opening), leave it on a wireless phone charger or toothbrush charger overnight to determine if it revives.
  3. Revise: This location was... https://keytechautolocksmiths.com/
  4. I assume there is a significant Timpsons markup at that pricing! Several years ago, when I requested a new key from BMW, the cost was approximately £180. However, I am confident that there will be locations that will only sever the blade. When my son sought a duplicate key for his Polo, I searched online for a nearby mobile technician who programmed a new key and cut the blade on-site.
  5. The Nextbase 380GWX has a more accessible and readily replaceable battery. The Nextbase 380GW/X Battery Pack is necessary for using the Parking Mode feature when connected to a 'switched' live power supply and must be placed in the battery compartment. £20 seemed to be an acceptable amount. I trust my dealer will install this. The camera is impressive, however I must concede that the fitDVR is appealing.
  6. They are installing 380 gigawatts on my system. In parking mode, Nextbase devices deactivate after 10 minutes and reactivate only upon detecting motion. Was yours hardwired or switched? An optional battery is available for my model.
  7. That is irritating. My dealer is installing the dashcam used in their demonstrations, therefore I will need to consult with them on the wiring process.
  8. Can utility mode be used for an extended duration? For instance, a dashcam operating in parking mode Although many dashcams include a shutdown feature after 5 or 10 minutes, rendering them inactive unless they detect a disturbance. Clearly, utility mode would mitigate any issues.
  9. It is rather ironic. I have just sold my Kia Soul without experiencing any 12v issues. Capable of leaving it for extended periods. With the introduction of EV3, I am experiencing uncertainties around potential issues I may encounter.
  10. Is anybody experiencing issues with the 12V battery on the EV 3? I understand Kia has had issues with the EV6 and am enquiring if they have been remedied or whether they persist in the EV3.

    I often get the notice 'Battery Management - start engine - increased power usage while stationary.' Adverse weather conditions, short travel durations, heated seats, and a heated steering wheel are potential contributing factors. My vehicle is a 2022 G20 330d mild hybrid. No issues at startup; just these messages appear in the morning.
  12. Several individuals, mostly myself, want narratives and images to visualise your project. I have now identified the individual who purchased the component I previously monitored. I would have like to have a boy to assist with my project; nevertheless, my daughters equate my endeavour to the son I never had. Enjoy engaging in this activity. This is an excellent educational opportunity. As an aircraft technician, possessing quality equipment is essential; nonetheless, precise micrometres and bore gauges are necessary for obtaining accurate measurements. If you want to experiment extensively with bearing gaps, you can contemplate using plastic gauges. Tom is a qualified technician; thus, please disregard my counsel. Merely my opinion. Occasionally, Audi technical information is difficult to locate.
  13. ISTA assists by generating test plans, enabling you to identify issues and discern common connections in circuit diagrams.

  17. The Dealer said that the automobile must have the defective battery, after which they do a diagnostic scan that produces a code, which is then documented. Subsequently, the failed battery will be replaced with an identical unit, followed by another scan to capture this code. Only when Mazda deems it necessary will they consider replacing the battery, and even then it will be with a battery of the same average quality. Indeed, I own both a dashcam and an immobiliser. These gadgets are essential for several reasons. The dashcam enters a state of "sleep" while it is parked. The immobiliser has a negligible power consumption. Despite being connected to a battery charger while parked for a week, the original battery of the automobile failed and did not take any charge. Please refer to the attached diagnostic report for further information. I opted for the aftermarket 650CCA battery, which required me to pay for it out of my own cash, as opposed to the original 530CCA battery. The automobile is functioning well, as it starts easily even after being parked for many days without a battery charger.
  18. I had the same thing! After three months and 1015 km, the 2024 Turbo automobile has become inoperable. The automobile keys are stored in a Faraday box located far away from the garage where the car is parked. There are no warning signs, no lights or any other electrical devices left on, and the battery is completely dead. I had the battery examined at a reputable independent establishment, and it was found to have no charge. Even after connecting it to a charger, it still indicated no charge. This clearly suggests a faulty battery, since a battery in optimal condition would have successfully received the charge from the battery charger. Let's await the response of the Dealer. I have never had such a problem with my Mustang or Rabbit, and I am astonished that a vehicle with Mazda's esteemed reputation has failed in this regard. Perhaps if they were to assign an animal name to this car, the curse would be eradicated!
  19. Requires fewer hands when measuring from the outside border to the middle of the hub and multiplying the result by two.
  20. Ecstatic about it. Considering the limited sample size of one example, it is worth mentioning that both the dealer and Fidelity performed quite well in terms of momentum in HOU. What is the recommended mileage for breaking in a new engine before it can achieve maximum performance? Furthermore, I own the Performance Package for my vehicle. Does it undergo automatic reconfiguration? The technicians said that my car does not have any "assisted engine noise," but I see that it has been deactivated. Although I appreciate this, I may like to reactivate it at some point. How can you accomplish it? It may have a purpose that I am not aware of, rather than being a trivial addition by BMW.
  21. The vehicle was sent to the dealer for repairs after being at a well-regarded shop. It is possible that there was a method to increase the insurance reimbursement, but the dealer has successfully collaborated with Fidelity. Additionally, I believed it was advantageous to have such a significant repair documented by the dealer.
  22. I am uncertain about my ability to do so. Indeed, I did not adhere to the recommended oil change interval of every 3 to 5 thousand miles, but I surely did so before reaching 8 thousand miles. Fortunately, I fortuitously stumbled upon the opportunity to purchase an aftermarket insurance for my used vehicle, four years after owning it. However, prior to obtaining this insurance, I was undecided about replacing the rods and bearings. I sought advice from a trustworthy automotive shop, where one recommended the replacement while the other exaggerated the associated risks.
  23. The engine was delivered from Germany on Friday, ladies and gentlemen. Initially, I was considering disregarding the situation, but the thought of returning to Texas and California with my newly acquired engine filled me with excitement. This feeling can only be comprehended by someone who has a similar vehicle. Although I haven't had the opportunity to address it in the last four years, I am very determined to ensure that the artificial engine sounds are deactivated in this run.
  24. I am uncertain about the specific kind of oil, however I would suggest using the BMW-recommended oil. Failure of connecting rods.
