The ABC, or Active Body Control Suspension system, is an advanced hydraulic suspension mechanism that utilises sensors, hydraulic pumps, and filters. Malfunctions can trigger numerous warning lights on the dashboard, lead to suspension failure, or default to sports mode, resulting in a harsh ride. These issues typically stem from leaks, insufficient fluid levels, and obstructed filters, all indicative of inadequate maintenance. My S Class is equipped with Airmatic suspension, which operates with compressed air, and the struts alone cost over one thousand dollars each.I am taking a risk by substituting a pair with less expensive replacements, but each time I have attempted this previously, the car has caused me problems.

Indeed, it is an exquisite vehicle; but, one must account for the associated operating expenses. As previously noted, it is a costly automobile that incorporates advanced technology, which can be expensive to repair. I have observed CL500s with ABC suspension issues being sold for a nominal price.I would still appreciate one, however!

I seek something more nuanced than that. If there were an A-post mount that adequately fits a RHD W204, I would consider it.

Do you have any innovative suggestions for effectively putting a 52mm oil pressure or oil temperature gauge in the W204 facelift model? I seek a gauge that is seamlessly integrated, preferring a mount that is both practical and harmonises with the dashboard. It is likely that someone has accomplished it. Thank you in advance

He stated, "I do not believe it requires servicing, merely an inspection." I stated, "I believe it does; it has completed 18,000 miles. I conversed with H**** in service, who placed me on hold, presumably to enquire about a favourable price, as I was eager to secure a deal." He stated, "I must listen to the conversation you had with H****." After reflection, I called again to request the service manager, but they were unavailable, so I cancelled.

Notification on the inspection alert. I scheduled a repair and inspection at the Audi main dealer in Leeds, which cost me £327. The day prior to the procedure, they contacted me and stated that the cost is, in fact, £486. Remarkably peculiar. I cancelled my reservation to rebook at IVC Leeds for £286. They performed well, although encountered difficulties in eliminating the inspection notice; he had to test many laptops, but ultimately succeeded in removing the alert. I will not utilise the Audi main dealer in Leeds.

It activates each time I cycle the ignition, resulting in it illuminating hundreds of times. Resetting the oil in the MMI does not reset the inspection interval. I acquired the Ancel VD500 OBD scanner to reset the service, but it failed to establish a connection. Could you suggest an A3 diagnostic scanner for resetting inspections? Thank you in advance.

Greetings to all. This is my inaugural Audi, a 2025 A3 S line Black Edition in District Green. It attracts significant attention from individuals. It has successfully completed 2500 miles throughout Europe without any issues. I have always owned Alfa vehicles; however, Alfa no longer manufactures manual cars. Audi continues to offer an excellent array of manuals. The experience with the A3 is somewhat ambivalent; the driving performance is robust and stable, although the excessive dashboard alerts are quite irritating. The inspection warning activates consistently, commencing at an impressive 2000 miles.

Are you aware of the part number? I will attempt to rectify it.

However, the noise originates in the gearbox, caused by friction during rotation.

I possess a 1995 E36 with a manual 5-speed transmission, and I am experiencing a noise when depressing the clutch pedal. What is the method to resolve this issue? Is it merely a bearing replacement?

Invest approximately 10 pence in a 4700-ohm resistor for the connector associated with the motor; bridge the central two pins; issue resolved. The vehicle will operate similarly, and there are no warning lights illuminated on the dashboard. Examine fuse number 24 as well.

Thank you for your response. Traffic congestion is seldom near our residence, save sometimes on the M25 due to collisions or accidents resulting in the closure of one lane. I maintained a considerable distance from the car ahead in my Skoda, typically operating in D2 and progressing at idle speed without applying pressure on the pedal. Avoid allowing excessive exhaust fumes to enter your vehicle. Discussing practice evokes memories of my purchase of a Honda CX 500 motorcycle (with shaft drive) at the age of 40, a significant leap from the Honda 50 I had during my undergraduate years. I want the capability to maneuver it at low velocities, namely 2 mph or below, without placing my feet on the ground. I visited a vast parking lot many times early in the morning and placed plastic containers on the ground, ultimately achieving proficiency in the task. I will experiment with the ipedal mode when I have more time to practice. I am uncertain if my wife will take the initiative.

Thank you for that. It has not yet been sufficiently chilly to need heating, but I will use the automatic option and regulate the temperature using the circular knob. The dealer from where I purchased the vehicle is located 65 miles away, however my local Kia dealer is about 5 miles apart. Concerning the seat adjustment lever, may this issue be addressed under warranty at no cost? I have researched regenerative braking, and I-Pedal may be advantageous for navigating congested traffic. Nonetheless, I have also seen information suggesting that regenerative braking is not a mutually beneficial scenario. The velocity and kinetic energy accumulated are not entirely recovered with regenerative braking. Approximately 65% of the energy is recovered due to the inefficiency of the regenerative mechanism. If, for instance, you are on a relatively unoccupied motorway traveling at 70 mph and maintain a forward gaze, you would rarely need to brake, merely decelerating gradually. However, with regenerative braking set to level 1, releasing the accelerator will cause your vehicle to decelerate more rapidly instead of coasting, resulting in increased energy expenditure to return to 70 mph. The Skoda I had with the DSG transmission included a coast/freewheel mode, which proved advantageous on highways. The vehicle just glided, with no gasoline usage, resulting in improved fuel efficiency.
