  1. The FPC is a reputable company. Although I haven't made any purchases from them, I sometimes visit their establishment and always find a selection of R8 vehicles. They have a high volume of automobile sales, consistently offering fresh inventory. I recommend trying Audi WPB, since my service adviser is Richard Kelstrom. The examination of my PPI was comprehensive, but not flawless, it was satisfactory. They suggested replacing the battery, but upon more investigation, I discovered that the battery was very recent. I believe it was simply discharged due to lack of usage. Consequently, I purchased a CTEK charger and resolved the issue.
  2. I am now located in West Palm Beach. After purchasing my R8, I brought it to Audi West Palm, where I have a positive rapport with the staff. They performed a post-purchase inspection on the vehicle. I own four Audi vehicles, which is why I often visit their shop. They have a considerable number of R8 models coming in for service, indicating their expertise in handling such vehicles. An other choice is TBK motorsports, which may be found at www.tbkmotorsport.com. They specialise in fine-tuning and competing with R8 vehicles, demonstrating exceptional skill and character. It seems that you are considering one of the two local dealers specialising in exotic vehicles. Do they each own many R8 vehicles? Another individual in this community recently made a purchase from FPC.
  3. As previously mentioned, the component number obtained from realoem corresponds to a brake calliper specifically designed for a 633csi. The brake callipers installed are not the regular e24 brake callipers. Therefore, the component number, which only refers to the seal kit and not the actual piston, is of no value to me since these callipers are not the original e24 callipers.
  4. What is the utility of realoem if it does not provide a component number? Furthermore, realoem does not provide information on the sizes of calliper pistons. As I said before, these callipers are not the standard e24 callipers, hence the brake diagrams on realoem.com are not useful.
  5. Hello everyone, I am reaching out from the bigcoupe community in a last attempt to get assistance in identifying these brake callipers. They can be directly attached to my 1983 633 csi, but they are certainly not the original callipers since the size of the pistons is different. Additionally, the brake callipers used in the e28 model have identical component numbers. I am currently in the process of rebuilding the callipers for my restoration project. Unfortunately, I mistakenly discarded the old calliper pistons and the new ones I purchased do not fit properly due to their larger size. I have searched online for suitable replacements specifically designed for the 633 model, but all available options are also too big. I am aware that I should not have disposed of the old parts, as I usually do not make such errors, but this was an accidental oversight on my part. The calliper lacks a part number and instead displays "BMW 57/25" on one side and "BMW ATE" on the other. The only web information I came across pertained to the e46s, maybe. However, all of those options have a larger or same calliper bore size. I am certain that if my bore size is 57mm, I cannot use a 57mm piston since there has to be some clearance. The bore measurement indicates an internal diameter (ID) of 57mm. Therefore, would it be correct to assume that I need pistons with a diameter of 56mm? Which specific BMW calliper is compatible with my e24 and can be easily installed? The primary enigma that stumped everyone was the e24 gang. I am now facing a challenge in the restoration process as I am unable to determine the appropriate size of pistons required. Furthermore, I am reluctant to get other callipers as I have already meticulously prepared and painted these callipers, and have also obtained new seal kits and other necessary components. Currently, I am quite intrigued in the potential dimensions of these objects. If anybody has any suggestions, please inform me. I reached out to ATE, but they were unsuccessful. I also contacted other brake supplier businesses, and they all confirmed that higher size pistons are required for the factory e24 (and e28) brakes.
  6. The 🀞 indicates that the Nox sensor is reporting ageing, but I am aware that it is a recently installed sensor, therefore it cannot be undergoing the process of ageing. This situation is distressing and frustrating for me.
  7. If the sensor is defective, might it potentially trigger other error codes?
  8. Greetings, everybody. I am consistently experiencing difficulties with the post catalytic converter oxygen sensor in my e90 2.0 petrol vehicle. If I decide to replace the sensor, is there any further action required to inform the car's system that a new sensor has been installed, or can I just change it and leave it as is? Thank you.

  10. You may include the sound of a V8 engine.
  11. Sold. Now I only need an engine.
  12. I will adhere one to the engine.
  13. Yes, I also acquired the acceleration-enhancing floor mats. πŸ˜†

  15. Based on the description, it seems that the Genuine Mercedes-Benz A205905341480 Voltage Converter Auxiliary Battery I bought is the exact component for my automobile, which I got on eBay.
  16. I attempted to circumvent the need for disassembling it twice (due to laziness, humorously) and the temperature is low, hahaha
  17. I recently spoke with my nearby Mercedes-Benz dealer who informed me that the cost is Β£182, but declined to verify or provide the specific component number.
  18. Appreciation expressed. That was my guess. Is there a location where I can verify that A205905341480 is the correct component for my vehicle? There are several items available on platforms like eBay, some of which are authentic while others are not. Is it advisable to only purchase genuine products? I recall an instance around 15 years ago when I bought a mass airflow item and it became evident rather quickly that the counterfeit versions were of poor quality.
  19. Appreciation expressed. I am presented with three instances of laughing out loud
  20. Greetings, everyone. I own a 2017 C220 Executive Estate. Despite doing extensive web research for many days, I have been unable to locate definitive evidence pertaining to my specific need. Consequently, I have decided to seek assistance on this platform. Previously, I received a notification indicating "Auxiliary Battery Failure" on the dashboard. Additionally, the Green A symbol has changed from green to yellow and remains yellow for around 99% of the time. Occasionally, it briefly turns green and functions properly for a few instances of starting and stopping the vehicle. However, it then passes several days without functioning before working again. I cover a monthly distance of 2000 to 4000 miles when driving. The vehicle has accumulated a mileage of 113,000 km. All other functions operate correctly except for the halt Start function. Based on my investigation, the most probable cause is the Auxiliary Battery. However, I am unable to locate the specific location on my vehicle, the accurate part number, and if it is a component that can be replaced by myself. Assistance is highly valued. Gratitude is extended to you.
