Dude, just swap out the buttons. You won't be using them very much, and they seem so cheap in comparison to the rest of the car.

Would you like to change the buttons into paddles instead?Instead of using plastic buttons, try using metal ones.

Salutations, tous, Does anyone have any recommendations for high-quality metal buttons that can replace the ones that came before the facelift? Unfortunately, most of the ones I've seen are made of plastic. Also, I am strictly seeking do-it-yourself options. At £800+, I'm not buying one of those gorgeous steering wheel adaptations! Instant win.

We have used magnetic brakes on trains for years; surely they would have been an excellent choice.

I can't help but wonder if it will be on an electric vehicle, because they claim that the first manufacturer has already implemented it.

Sorry, I had to look twice, but my dyslexia helped, haha. Hmm, I'm not very keen about that notion.

yet again, something that the average guy can't solve.

what if, while driving on the highway, your alternator belt suddenly snapped?

The Brembo Sensify is what? Intelligent "brake-by-wire" technology is what makes Sensify tick. With its digital environment and electromechanical actuators, it does away with the need for braking fluid, master cylinders, and conventional hydraulic circuits. Less Maintenance and Environmental Impact: It Eliminates the Need for Hydraulic Fluid, Pipes, and Bleeding. Individual Control: Unlike a common hydraulic line, each wheel is managed by its own "electronic brain," enabling far more accurate stopping power. Driven by software, the system continuously assesses traction and road conditions using sensors and artificial intelligence, altering the braking force at each wheel in milliseconds. If a calliper dies today, it will set you back a pretty penny.

You read it correctly; electronic brakes are on the way.

Alright, I see now. Your assistance is much appreciated.

In my opinion, you shouldn't get these since they're over an inch larger in diameter than the original measurements, which can cause insurance problems in addition to the fact that they won't fit your car.

Apologies for the omission, however the back tires on mine are stock 255/30R19 because they are running on 19s.

Without a doubt, the front tires should be 235/40R18 and the rear tires 255/35R18.

Greetings to everybody I am going to go out and get new tires for my W204 C63. Currently, the rear tires are 255/30, and I am aware that my wheels have spacers; however, the width of these spacers is unknown to me as the prior vendor failed to tell me of this fact. Even if it turns out to be simply the tire, I was thinking about purchasing new wheels because I believed they were damaged. The wheels still give me the willies since potholes are so bad where I live in London. What would happen if I put 255/35 tires on (those with a larger sidewall)? Are the arches going to be rubbed by the tyre? Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences with me; I'd really appreciate it if someone could enlighten me. Much obliged.

Fitting them at the primary dealer's expense was ridiculous. With the help of a nice man at an auto shop, I was able to find a replacement and install it in about a minute. The total cost is around £9 per year.

This filter was finally purchased by me. As its proportions are more in line with the OEM, it ought to fit snugly into the slot.

There are many filters available from respectable brands that cost much less than the dealer part (97133-f2000), so I would return that immediately.

Before I ever thought of buying a new cabin filter for my old Optima SW, I took the old one out and carefully checked its measurements. I had seen that there are a lot of options online, but many of them didn't match the original. I like to check that the air conditioner is cleaning the air coming into the cabin since there is a lot of dust floating around my house from agricultural ploughing and tree debris. I have to take care of myself as much as I can since I have a lung issue. The component's price varies, but you can get it from different internet vendors for as little as a fiver or a little more. I think it's worth it to spend top bucks to get the right model dimensions; even without the service item, it will be less expensive than the markup the KIA dealer would add on to provide and fit.

The new filter is hideous! Our Sportage had an identical original, but I got a cheap Bosch 1987435160 on eBay to replace it because the part numbers and manufacturers are same.

With any luck, I'll be able to get my money back and get the right filter. Kia would likely refuse a warranty claim if they discover an aftermarket filter in your HVAC system and attribute any future problems to it. You can get one from Kia for around £15.
