  1. The diagnostics indicated a rail pressure sensor issue, but have problems with the actual pressure been excluded? What was the precise code you possessed? Did you reset the adaptations after modifying the sensor?
  2. Indeed, I would assert that the dipstick reading was accurate originally, regardless of the indication from the I Drive system. Utilise the dipstick until the subsequent service, then replace the defective level sensor, since it seems to be providing inaccurate readings.
  3. The iDrive is likely providing inaccurate readings because to the differential sensor in the sump; always rely on the dipstick for accurate measurements. What quantity of oil was added, and did you check the dipstick prior to starting the engine following the oil change?
  4. A normally aspirated engine does not see significant power gains from using e85 fuel, unlike turbocharged and supercharged engines which benefit more from it. I will be astonished if anybody has taken that particular course of action NA.
  5. I advise against it, since you wouldn't want anything contaminating the catalytic converter or diesel particulate filter.
  6. The most recent EGR coolers installed during the recall also received a gasket at that junction.
  7. The tiny tabs on the inner edge should be bent at a 90-degree angle to the gasket face. They fasten the turbo side securely to keep it in position. As far as I recall, the concave side should be positioned against the turbo.
  8. It seems that you may have accidentally dropped it from the automobile. If I were in your position and you had not yet found it, I would recommend having that key decoded. If the item was left in your vehicle, it is possible that someone may have taken it with the intention of stealing the automobile at a later time. if the engine is started and the key is within range, the vehicle will continue to operate indefinitely. However, if the engine is stopped, it cannot be restarted until the key is again within range.
  9. In my experience, Mercedes does not have a direct connection to the DVLA. For a long time, my personal license plate remained associated with my old E Coupe on Mercedes websites. It was only after I had my vehicle serviced at the shop was it finally updated to my current GLC. While it is possible to manually modify certain information using the MercedesMe app, these changes do not have any effect on the main Mercedes websites.
  10. The Motor Insurance Database (MID) indicates that the automobile is covered, but, I am unable to locate any specific information on the insurance policy. I am perplexed by the fact that I switched insurance. As you said, I need to have some kind of documentation, but I am unable to locate them.
  11. Although no specific information is available, the database shows that the automobile is insured. Do you have any suggestions on how I might get this information?
  12. Technology may be remarkable at times, amusingly enough. When things go awry, we are in a difficult situation. I believe it is still necessary for you to touch the stop/start button.
  13. The audio quality on HK has been enhanced with the software upgrade in November 2023. Nevertheless, I hold the opinion that the HK technique is not very effective when used at low numbers. However, the more you increase the volume, the significant improvement it exhibits.
  14. The Huracan for sale that I provided a link to is really attractive. The appearance is quite impressive. Similarly, my R8 does as well. It's a constant struggle, isn't it? In my opinion, Gen 1 owners have a clear advantage, whereas Gen 2 Plus/Performance owners, as we have already covered extensively, have a more challenging situation. The R8 places you at the pinnacle of your brand's lineup. You are not with Huracan. That is an additional aspect. I have a low probability of exchanging my R8 for this vehicle, but I may consider inspecting it.
  15. Excellent viewpoints. The one concern I have is that I would really appreciate insights from an individual who has had a Gen 2 Plus/Performance R8. Due to the smaller difference between the two, the gap between them and a Huracan is much less.
  16. I am aware, I am aware, I am about to begin once again. Although I have a strong affection for my R8, I cannot resist the allure of exploring other options. Observing my surroundings, I notice the following phenomenon in my vicinity: https://www.chicagomotorcars.com/2022-lamborghini-huracan-evo-coupe-style-pkg-carbon-buckets-life-style-driver-pkg-full-car-ppf-c-11762.htm?utm_source=cars.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=cars.com_deeplink Would you consider transitioning from an all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicle to a rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicle? Is it possible to go from a Spyder to a Coupe? Considering it is a Lamborghini, the vehicle has quite little kilometres on it. However, I have a strong affection for my R8! However, owning a Lamborghini would be quite desirable. Kindly provide your views.
  17. Several springs in the CLK car had a sudden failure. Installed Billy shocks and Eibach springs on both front and back of the vehicle, and have seen positive performance since then.
  18. I recently replaced mine with this particular one, which was an ideal match. It is rather simple to do on your own with a few fundamental tools, resulting in a significant improvement in the car's cranking performance. It is important to mention After driving 100 metres, the suspension and DSC warning lights that appeared earlier turned off. These vehicles exhibit peculiar behaviour when they detect low or no battery voltage.
  19. The price was given in the low tens. The disparity between 10.999 and the low 10s is substantial. It involves more than just removing the spare wheel and interior. First, one reaches the 10s, and then proceeds to improve by half a second.
  20. Thank you for the guidance, I really value it. Fortunately, I will inspect it tomorrow. Fortunately, I am already proficient with a set of tools and I have a knack for quickly acquiring new skills. I will provide an update on the progress.
  21. The vehicle in question is a 3-door manual hatchback with a petrol engine. It has a Euro 4 emission standard and a power output of 122 brake horsepower.
  22. The car in question is a 116i model with a previous owner and partial service history. It is a 2008 model and has recently had maintenance, including an oil change, replacement of spark plugs, and a new rocker cover gasket. The seller is asking for a price of 1500. Given the little information available, purchasing this car may involve a significant risk. Additionally, I examined its MOT history and these are the cautions recorded at its last MOT. The rear sub-frame has experienced corrosion, but its structural integrity has not been significantly compromised (5.3.3 (b) (i)). The nearside rear tyre is significantly worn, close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, which exceeds the allowed limits. The text "(5.2.3 (e))" remains unchanged. The front suspension arm pin or bush on both the near side (n/s) and off side (o/s) is worn, but the wear does not cause excessive movement in the forward direction. 5.3.4 (a) (i)
