You may modify your article at any moment by use the three vertical dots located in the top-right corner. Delighted to hear you are enjoying your EV6. Your foresight about the Zappi installation was commendable. 🙂

It is a pleasure to have you among us.

The air conditioning unit is not cooling effectively.

Occasionally, it is necessary to reset the system. I had to do this task on a friend's W220 S500. The shop informed him that a new compressor was necessary at a cost of $1500 due to its failure to engage. I reset the temperature control panel and added 1 pound of R134a, then allowed him to go. Why is the compressor always the issue? -
Greetings, Recently acquired this BMW as a non-operational vehicle. I believed it would be a simple resolution, either replacing the battery or changing the starter. The garage has said that the engine is entirely irreparable. What will be the optimal option? 1- Sell it back as a non-runner; what much do you estimate I might get for it? Acquire a new engine; if so, what is the cost of the engine? I have been searching on eBay today, uncertain about which engine is compatible with my automobile. Rebuild the engine; I have seen many shops claiming they can do engine rebuilds. I want to do repairs, but I am uncertain about where to begin. I appreciate any recommendations you may have. It would be good to choose a reputable garage that offers optimal value. Thank you

I attempted that with my friend; it functioned when I first purchased the vehicle, but unfortunately, I am currently unable to release it.

I have recently listed my C63 on Autotrader. The vehicle requires servicing and some minor repairs, so I have priced it appropriately. Should I get my vehicle serviced at my Mercedes Specialists, incurring a potential £1500 expense, and subsequently request a higher price, or should I sell it as is for a slightly reduced amount compared to the quoted price?

Greetings to everyone, I am experiencing an issue with my Mercedes CLK200; when I insert the fob into the ignition, it fails to recognise the fob, preventing me from starting the engine. Yesterday, I opened the key and observed that one of the transistors was damaged and disconnected. I attempted to reattach it using tape and subsequently tested it in my car, but to no effect. My inquiry pertains to whether the activation of the immobiliser would render a replacement key ineffective. I disconnected the battery yesterday to perhaps reset the ECU, and I plan to attempt it again later this evening. What is the most advisable course of action? Can I summon a locksmith to resolve the immobiliser issue and then cut a key for me? If so, could you recommend someone who will not overcharge me? The car is located in Hayes, London. AA proved ineffective, only inspecting the battery and confirming its functionality, thereafter arranging for the vehicle's recovery to my residence. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I am seeking to acquire a used Niro, considering the rapid depreciation of electric vehicles. I now own a Hyundai Kona with a 64 kW battery. This provides an approximate range of 239 to 260 miles during winter and 310 to 321 miles in summer. The Hyundai Kona has significant build quality flaws, with the most prevalent problems including the 12V battery, horn, and passenger seat sensors. Johnson's Hyundai dealership is similarly undesirable, and I would recommend avoiding them entirely. I need guidance on the mileage range experienced by others with their Niro. I appreciate your assistance in advance.

Without laboratory facilities, detecting pollutants is challenging. Most garages possess a moisture meter for assessing the fluid in the master cylinder reservoir. The fluid may darken somewhat over time. Extract a little amount from the master cylinder reservoir and replace it with a small quantity of new fluid for aesthetic purposes; this is a fast procedure. This does not substitute the fluid that performs the function. The ABS pump and callipers need replacement by flushing and bleeding via the bleed nipples. It is that simple. I have serviced vintage automobiles that have not had fluid changes for many years, resulting in fluid that is dark and rust-coloured. However, such constitutes extreme instances of negligence.

The brake pedal's sensation will remain same after a fluid replacement, unless air was previously present and has been eliminated. The brake fluid test assesses moisture absorption in the fluid, indicating its hygroscopic nature. Typically, fluid may last much beyond a two-year change interval without complications. Prolonged intervals without fluid alterations might result in complications with ABS pumps, particularly in motorcycles. The primary contamination may occur in the callipers, brake lines, and hoses, necessitating the expulsion of the old fluid via the bleed nipples. The invoice will itemise the brake fluid replacement and provide a corresponding price. If the service schedule indicates that a brake fluid change is to be performed, it is expected to be executed. Not seen as a chance to deceive the buyer. Presented herein are a few photos. The first instance had the dealership asserting that a fluid change had been performed, whereas the second instance confirmed that a fluid change had really been executed.

"I have encountered cases where services are not rendered as intended, yet customers are still charged." Regrettably, it is a prevalent practice in the business. My family and I have operated Kias for many years, and I have often received vehicles that I was invoiced for repairs that were obviously not performed. For me, brake fluid is the most prevalent. An inspection of the bleed nipples will ascertain if fluid has been purged. The absence of moisture and the lack of spanner witness marks indicate that this has not been performed. Access to petrol fuel filters is located under the back seat. Knowledge will only be attained by your marking of the access hatch. Pollen filters are often not considered a service item. A check of the air filter before and after servicing will reveal if it has been replaced. It is straightforward to ascertain if they are fresh replacements. I have had a vehicle returned with the oil and filter unchanged, necessitating an independent oil analysis. Diesel. These experiences include three distinct Kia dealerships. It is unfortunate that you must endure the procedure; nevertheless, my experience indicates that they will use every possible shortcut as you leisurely sip a coffee at the front of house, charging you for the privilege.

Thank you. I am purchasing a brand new item.

I am considering purchasing a BMW X5 50e, although I often encounter opinions suggesting that the 30D is a superior option. This will be my inaugural X5. Is the X5 50e the optimal choice? Thank you, everyone.

I cannot ascertain from examining my phone, but I wonder if the airbox may be removed to provide better access.

Greetings To detach the ball joint, it is necessary to loosen the conical seat while retaining it inside the wheel bearing housing. Subsequently, apply heat to the area where the ball joint is affixed to the axle arm and detach it using the suitable tool. Thoroughly clean the thread before installing the replacement ball joint using thread-locking adhesive.

It does not seem foolish at all. It is reasonable that improved lubrication of components results in less noise; the enhancement in my vehicle motivates me to do an oil change weekly. (not that it is noisy before, but only since I can ascertain it is solely contributing to prolonging the lifespan of items)

Hello, thank you. I am located in North London - and you? Is it preferable to send a direct message or provide your contact information? Thank you.
