Have you attempted to configure it using the Mercedes Me application?

I own this feature on my 2025 GLE; it functions effectively and I utilise it most mornings. Heated seats, steering wheel, and overall heating activated. Vehicle prepared for performance.

Your model must be equipped with electric heaters for preheating without engine activation.

All Digital Extras are included with the new car for a duration of three years, excluding the Log Book. My vehicle is equipped with Pre-Entry Climate Control, as stated in the app and handbook. However, none provides detailed instructions for setup. The vehicle was in the garage, hence reluctant to initiate the engine. I will attempt again tomorrow if it is not raining.

What information is provided in the user manual?

I am unable to provide a solution to your inquiry; nevertheless, it is worth noting that many remote features necessitate a paid subscription. You can consider verifying your Mercedes me account to determine if this is one of the choices requiring purchase.

Seeking expert advice from the Forum. Acquired a new vehicle yesterday. Digital Extras denote the inclusion of pre-entry climate control. However, attempts to activate were unsuccessful. The application allows me to select seats, but the activation and deactivation buttons are unresponsive. Is it necessary for the ignition to be on and the engine to be running to configure this? Kind regards

My annual mileage is comparable to yours, hence I concur that the additional expense will be justified, as will the increased frequency of oil changes. Thank you for your contribution.

This issue frequently recurs on this Forum, and utilising the 'Search Community' tool will provide numerous discussions from previous years. I recall that the most persuasive argument came from a retired member of a major refinery, who stated that premium fuels contain additives introduced during the refining process, whereas supermarket fuels consist of inferior byproducts. It was noted that diesel engines may reportedly operate on cooking oil. My only knowledge is that during the initial years of our prior Evoque, I utilised retail fuel, and in 2019, I encountered a 'DPF full' problem that required a forced regeneration. Subsequently, I utilised premium fuel (first BP Ultimate, followed by Shell V-Power) and have encountered no additional issues. Given that I only drive approximately 3,000 miles annually, I consider the additional operating expenses to be a reasonable compromise.

I was unaware that fuel from supermarkets differs from that obtained at petrol stations. Two years between services is excessive; I schedule mine every eight to ten months. I might not have been deterred from purchasing an Evoque, but I regret having read about the issues associated with it. I simply need to wait for the appropriate opportunity.

A low mileage does not inherently indicate superior condition; it may reflect numerous short trips, potentially utilising worse grocery fuel. Additionally, a full service history merely signifies adherence to the necessary biennial servicing, during which the oil may have gradually deteriorated. Users of Diesel Ingenium on the Forum opt for annual oil and filter changes between services and either utilise premium fuel or additives to potentially enhance engine combustion efficiency. I possess my second diesel Ingenium Evoque and will undoubtedly opt for a third if they still available at that time. I believe it is an excellent unit with substantial torque; nonetheless, it requires proper maintenance.

Some Diesel Ingenium vehicles have reached 100,000 miles without troubles, while others have barely achieved 15,000 miles. Later versions from 2022 onwards may perform better. It is possible that their reliability is inferior to other manufacturers.

Greetings to everybody, I am new to the site as I am seeking to acquire an Evoque; however, I have read that the Ingenium engine may experience issues with inadequate regeneration and premature timing chain deterioration. If I get a vehicle with little mileage and a comprehensive service history, can I circumvent these problems?

It appears to be an issue with the exhaust or manifold; nonetheless, it would be advisable to inspect it further if you can access it on a ramp.

Additionally, here is the video.

I will attempt it and provide you with updates.

Uncertain about the location of the component, comments on that YouTube movie indicated that the issue is not exclusive to BMW; other owners have attempted solutions, and some individuals reported success.

From the bottom of the engine? Is it only when the temperature is warm?

I viewed a YouTube video suggesting that the ticking sound may originate from the hydraulic lifter. To alleviate the issue, one should start the engine and maintain it at 3000 rpm for three minutes; some claim this resolves the problem, making it worth attempting.

I have not yet inspected it; I need to elevate it up the ramp for examination. However, it is likely that this would produce a rattling noise at startup, correct? Is it not when the engine is warm?

Perhaps a minor fissure in the catalytic converter or manifold?

I am seeking assistance from anyone who can provide help. I possess a 2006 E90 M47 that produces a ticking noise when the vehicle reaches optimal temperatures. A few months ago, I operated my vehicle with low oil pressure, and a friend suggested that I might have caused low-end knock. However, after changing the oil and filter, we did not observe any metallic particles in the filter. Additionally, we placed four strong magnets underneath the oil during drainage and found no metal shavings. The ticking noise did not entirely correlate with the engine revs, leading us to conclude that it was due to chain slap. The vehicle just underwent maintenance, including the replacement of the timing chain, tensioner, water pump, steering pump, auxiliary belt, and all gaskets, approximately two weeks ago at a mileage of 165,000. However, the noise persists. We have also eliminated lifter tick, as it is only audible from the bottom of the engine, predominantly on the driver's side, and cannot be detected with the hood open. I have included a link to my YouTube video at the end of this post. Thank you for your assistance; I recently spent £2,000 to eliminate this sound and was informed by the garage that it was chain slap, which is quite frustrating. To be fair, the car drives well and accelerates smoothly, but I detest this noise. The most accurate description of the ticking sound is that, while idling, it produces a characteristic diesel tractor "duhduhduh" noise, with the ticking occurring in varying rhythms such as "tick.......tick tick......tick tick tick tick.............tick." However, upon revving the engine, the ticking sound synchronises with the vehicle's operation.

During the next service appointment with the dealer, enquire whether they are prepared to update all necessary firmware on the vehicle free of charge, as policies may vary among dealers. If unsuccessful, document the issue as a warranty claim; the dealer would likely upgrade the firmware on the pertinent ECU as an initial measure.
