  1. Past hour
  2. I monitored the discussion until its conclusion to ascertain whether anyone proposed the water pump. Several years ago, my son's Galaxy exhibited same symptoms, prompting a local garage to attempt several solutions, similar to your approach, until I proposed that the water pump might have experienced a failure of the vanes from its plastic impeller. They initially dismissed my assertions, yet subsequently acknowledged my accuracy.
  3. I have resolved the issue. Despite purging both heater matrices of the Vito and refilling the coolant using a vacuum pump system for £120, the issue persists. I changed the water pump, which appeared to resolve the issue. I appreciate everyone's assistance.
  4. An air bubble can certainly precipitate this problem. Air is a less effective conductor of heat compared to the coolant fluid. Upon the arrival of the air bubble at the sensor, the temperature gauge will indicate a decrease.
  5. A flush will substitute fluid for air. Eliminating the final reservoir of air can be somewhat challenging on certain cars. It is necessary to identify the system's highest point from where it can be bled and to confirm that it is indeed the highest point in the system. The final point may occasionally necessitate elevating the corner of the vehicle where the bleed point is situated. Uneven terrain can determine the success or failure of the undertaking.
  6. I considered the possibility of an airlock; however, the coolant level has consistently remained adequate, and there have been no recent alterations that would precipitate an airlock, unless it is feasible for one to occur spontaneously. Nonetheless, I will conduct a comprehensive coolant flush to eliminate any airlock; I am uncertain about the complexity of the procedure, so it is prudent to entrust it to professionals. I will thereafter provide a report here.
  7. A comparable incident occurred with my Ranger truck when the coolant level became too low owing to a loose hose clamp. I tightened the clamp and replenished the coolant, but the temperature fluctuated significantly. It was ultimately determined that a substantial airlock was present. Following adequate bleeding, regular service was restored.
  8. Greetings, everyone! I am experiencing a perplexing problem with my 2018 Mercedes Vito Minibus W447. I have been experiencing random fluctuations in the temperature gauge. This weekend, I undertook an extensive 15-hour drive, and here are my observations. Temperature decline: When travelling at a constant pace of 70 mph or maintaining a consistent RPM, the temperature gauge will remain at the standard 90 degrees. However, when I attempt to activate the heater, it emits frigid air. Upon momentarily releasing the throttle or shifting into neutral on downhill gradients, the heater resumes heating, while the temperature gauge descends to just over 40 degrees and fluctuates between 40 and 80 degrees for approximately one minute. There will be a little fluctuation before stabilising around 80 degrees and ultimately reaching 90 degrees when I resume normal driving. The heater will remain warm for around 15 minutes, sufficient to provide warmth once more. The temperature rises: When travelling at a steady motorway pace (50-70 mph), the temperature gauge remains normal at 90 degrees; however, upon applying additional power, such as during overtaking or ascending a hill, the gauge exceeds 90 degrees. I would hear the fan activate. The amount of power applied, the incline of the slope, and the duration of power application will influence whether the temperature reaches 120 degrees or above. However, it will descend rapidly when I reduce the throttle. When the temperature exceeded 120 degrees on the freeway, I had a complete loss of throttle response; regardless of my actions with the throttle, the van did not respond and began to decelerate. I had to stop on the hard shoulder for a few seconds, and it was only after the temperature approached 90 degrees that I regained throttle control. I have replaced one thermostat, but it did not yield any improvement. I possess a Xentry device, and no fault codes are displayed. I lack mechanical expertise, hence I am unaware of what to observe. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
  9. Thank you, I will proceed accordingly.
  10. I recommend initiating a thread in the appropriate section, as few individuals are likely to check this area to greet others.
  11. I seek assistance in installing a 10.25-inch Apple CarPlay screen in my F22 and require information on available possibilities. I am concerned that the integration of a new Android screen may compromise the sound quality of my Harman Kardon speakers. Are there any options for sound amplifiers that do not require an aux connection, since I wish to avoid wires coming into the armrest?
  12. Yesterday
  13. I cherish mine; I have owned it for four years and am currently turning it in for another one.
  14. Excellent automobile! I have possessed mine for around one year without any problems. During that period. I have acquired the subsequent knowledge: Plug-ins represent a relatively novel technology, and it seems that innovations often encounter initial challenges. HVCH failures are frequently referenced; nevertheless, this issue pertains to all manufacturers and is not exclusive to LR. While those issues seem to be addressed, a guarantee for such a high-tech vehicle is essential; thus, consider the expense. I was somewhat surprised by the decrease in electric vehicle range during the winter months. I anticipated a decline, but not to such a significant extent. It is not entirely unfavourable, as it is crucial to avoid expecting it to function solely as an electric vehicle; regular utilisation of the petrol engine is essential. Despite the petrol engine being about 1.5 litres, I have no grievances concerning its performance. It may exhibit a slight throaty sound at lower speeds, but it becomes quiet in top gear. I never anticipated expressing this, but I could be inclined to consider a complete electric vehicle if LR were to release one. Currently, the combination of petrol and electricity is excellent. The dashboard indicates an average of 85 miles per gallon, which is excellent. Acquiring the vehicle with the desired features is essential.
  15. I adore my 71 registration P300e. My HVAC system was replaced after three years of extended warranty coverage.
  16. I possess an Evoque P300e and a Z4. Both vehicles are excellent.
  17. I possess a 72 plate vehicle and am quite satisfied with it; I encountered some initial issues with the HVCH, but they have been resolved, and I am quite pleased.
  18. As other people have expressed, I appreciate the vehicle. All vehicles possess certain defects; yet, I am exceedingly satisfied with mine.
  19. I am considering acquiring a P300e. Are there numerous owners present? What are your impressions? Thank you.
  20. Last week
  21. To my knowledge, the audio alarm or "buzzer" operates solely as an on/off mechanism, with no options for volume modulation. If it were adjustable, I would like to know how to increase the volume; but, the owner's manual does not offer guidance on modifying the buzzer volume.
  22. Today, I had a younger, technologically inclined sales representative at the dealership attempt to locate the volume control for it. After attempting to change it, he appeared to believe that the "chime" warning sound was solely designed to be either on or off, with no discernible volume control available. I will have the technicians examine it when I rotate the tires at the dealership shortly. Remains enigmatic!...
