  1. I installed a 60Ah battery in my 2018 1.2 turbo months ago, and it has performed excellently.
  2. Are you able to ascertain the substance? Is it greasy, or does it evaporate independently? Is the scuttle unobstructed?
  3. That was my apprehension and not the information I wanted to get 😞 Should I remove the headliner and rinse the windshield with water to investigate?

  5. Ah, wonderful. Hopefully, this is the issue. I will disassemble it tomorrow and do a thorough cleaning. I began researching, and many individuals mention a leaky windshield, however it seems to be mostly in the vicinity of the rearview mirror.
  6. Greetings to everyone, The owner possesses a 2016 Range Rover Evoque. The passenger footwell has been damp for an extended period; however, she contacted me to inspect her vehicle during the recent downpour. I observed that water was dripping from the junction of the headlining and the A-pillar, likely causing the moisture in the passenger footwell. It lacks a sunroof, and the door seals seem to be intact; moreover, it would be peculiar for water to infiltrate the door seal but leak from an alternate location. Are there any recommendations for potentially obstructed drain holes or prevalent concerns that might lead to this problem? Thank you in advance.
  7. I am unaware of your location in Kent; but, @NightHawk47, a participant on this community, operates a Mercedes-Benz specialist in Tunbridge Wells. AMF Mercedes
  8. Indeed, they are composite panels, not ABS plastic. May be compromised.
  9. In my experience, the squeaking of new brakes is mostly attributable to inadequate fitting. Anti-squeal shims may be absent (if relevant), inadequate cleaning and re-lubrication of the contact points for the pads are issues (do not use copper grease here, as it is an anti-seize, not a lubricant; ceramic grease is appropriate, and red rubber grease should be applied to the boots and new seals if installed). Ensure there is no oil on the rear of the pads; copper is OK in this area. If following Brembo standards, the sliding pins should not be left dusty or rusted. The pads are too tight, causing them to remain in contact with the disc post-application, resulting in adhesion and insufficient movement away from the disc. This issue is often attributed to an overly thick coating of paint and a snug fit from end to end. It may be readily remedied with a minor file. Additionally, failing to adhere to the break-in instructions provided by pad manufacturers, such as EBC Yellow Stuff, may include unconventional break-in procedures. Typically, inexpensive discs do not induce squeaking; they are just a mass of rotating cast iron. The primary concern with low-quality discs is their tendency to distort after a short period or experience rapid corrosion on the elevated surfaces and hub owing to inadequate corrosion resistance.
