  1. Individual experiences vary, but, this is the approach I would use. Prior to exchanging tires, it is advisable to check the tire pressure and adjust it to the manufacturer's recommended specifications. If the noise level and tone of their speech continue to be excessively loud and abrasive, it may be advisable to decrease the volume by one level. It is important to note that the wheel size for the basic 7 series is 18 inches, as opposed to 19 inches or 20 inches. I have just acquired a set of 7 series base wheels for installation on my 640 GT vehicle, resulting in a noticeably smooth and noiseless riding experience. After experiencing a wheel fracture of 19 inches, I attended this event and have not had any more issues. These automobiles exhibit exceptional qualities and may need some time to align with one's specific requirements.
  2. The proposition seems to be rather satisfactory, since I have come across individuals who have cited quotations reaching high four-digit numbers from dealers.
  3. The possible inference that may be drawn from the non-functioning reach adjustment is that there may be a cause other than jammed gears. Additionally, it is worth considering if you also perceive an audible click while attempting to engage the reach adjustment. One individual who provided assistance on my discussion thread proposed the notion that by removing certain trim components, it is possible to access the worm gear, which can then be greased. my is a task I intend to do in the future. Although my advise pertains specifically to a W205 C class vehicle, I think that the process would not change much for your particular automobile.
  4. It seems that you are encountering a similar issue to the one I previously had (which I have already resolved). The tilting mechanism ceased to function properly while attempting to make adjustments, producing a similar audible 'click' sound. However, the reach adjustment feature remained unaffected. Rather of forcefully striking the wheel, a method I found undesirable, I opted to apply pressure by leveraging my body weight while simultaneously using the downward adjustment lever. This action successfully disengaged the column/motor components. If the clicking sound is audible, it is reasonable to infer that the issue is not with the motor power, but rather with the motor or gear being obstructed at its maximum position, similar to the situation I encountered (assuming that convenience entry/exit is enabled on your specific model).
  5. Greetings, I own a 2009 E71 X6 vehicle, equipped with a sound system that seems to be of the "standard" kind, consisting just of front and back speakers. While I am able to perceive the presence of certain grills under my seat, I am inclined to believe that there is an absence of subwoofers in that particular location. The frontal appearance of my setup suggests the presence of tweeter grills without an actual tweeter unit positioned behind them. I am attempting to access high-level speaker cables in order to convert them into a low-level pre-out level suitable for an amplifier. Upon inspection of the vehicle's trunk, it was determined that there is no presence of an amplifier. I own a TCU1.5 device along with a Video Module, without any other components. Consequently, it is presumed that all amplification occurs via the head unit, necessitating the acquisition of high-level input from the rear of such device. Could someone provide assistance in clarifying if it is OK to extract high-level speaker wire from the rear of the head unit? Where would one locate the speaker wire? What are the colors of the speaker wires? I have successfully installed a pair of 6x9 speakers and two amplifiers in my vehicle. I am now seeking assistance in resolving any issues related to the input configuration. I want to enhance the front speakers and include a subwoofer into the audio system once the input issue has been resolved. Thank you very much.
  6. Unfortunately, the battery for my vehicle was not available at TPS today. Consequently, I contacted Dundee Audi to inquire about its availability, only to be informed that they did not have any in store. I inquired about the availability of Audi vehicles at Perth Audi, prompting a momentary delay. The individual attending to my query responded by stating their intention to investigate the matter. Upon their return, they relayed that a client had previously placed an order for a vehicle but failed to claim it, which I found amusing. After the installation was completed, the automobile has been successfully started and is operating well. After rectifying the error codes, I proceeded to test the automobile by driving it at high speeds. Subsequently, I conducted another scan to assess the presence of any remaining issues related to low fuel pressure. However, no indications of low fuel pressure were detected during this subsequent scan. I will monitor it, though. The individual in question is referred to as Jay. I recall that you inspected the throttle body. Was this inspection conducted only via the use of measurement blocks?
  7. If I successfully navigate through a month without encountering any little issues or inconveniences, I get a sense of unease or dissatisfaction.
  8. The filter was applied subsequent to the occurrence of the fault code. I want to reset the filter and assess its reoccurrence after a thorough cleansing procedure. If that is the case, I will contact you. Additionally, it is worth noting that the low gasoline level indicator was also stated concurrently. This occurrence is peculiar, since I have never allowed the car's fuel level to deplete much.
  9. I have just acquired VCDS, and I anticipate that my experience with it will unfold in one of two possible outcomes: either I will achieve significant success, or I will encounter substantial difficulties and complications. The first step was doing a diagnostic scan, which revealed the presence of a P310b error code indicating that the fuel pressure is beyond the specified range. There is uncertainty about the potential correlation between the little hesitation seen during wide open throttle acceleration. I recently replaced the coil packs, which seems to have had a positive impact. However, I have not yet had the opportunity to thoroughly evaluate the effectiveness of this improvement owing to the ongoing battery issue. It is anticipated that the battery will arrive tomorrow, enabling me to begin a more comprehensive exploration.
  10. There are often many options available on the online marketplace platform eBay. Additionally, the process of fitting the item is typically a task that can be completed within a 15-minute timeframe. It is advisable to get products that are accompanied with wire loom adaptors. In order to proceed, it is necessary to locate a someone who has the requisite programming skills to do the task on your behalf. Although they may seem impressive, I believe that they are superior than the fluorescent ones.
  11. Another individual and I successfully replaced the engine in my BMW e90, completing the task in around six hours. Our understanding was limited; nonetheless, it is possible that a more experienced shop might do the task more efficiently. Examine the labor rates over a duration of around six hours. Furthermore, in the case of my M47, it was not necessary to separate the AC lines or power steering cables. Consequently, I incurred expenses just for the purchase of fresh oil and coolant.
  12. Is it not possible to measure the current rivets?
  13. https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/662984-evap-system-how-does-really-work.html
  14. The gasoline vapor emitted from the fuel tank is captured by a device that is connected to the tank. Subsequently, the captured vapor is removed from the device by a vacuum line connected to the engine, using the engine's vacuum. https://mercedes.7zap.com/en/eu/fg/car/e-klasse/e+350/69c/207456/fg/0/0/47/0/060/0/0/
  15. The auditory perception you may be experiencing might perhaps be attributed to the presence of an electrically controlled shut off valve that is connected to the gasoline evaporative charcoal canister in that particular vicinity. The location of the object in question might perhaps be concealed inside the wheel arch liner.
  16. The majority of gasoline tanks are positioned as saddle tanks located behind the rear seat. The gasoline pump is of the submerged kind and may be accessed from above.
  17. The relays may be listed on a folded fuse diagram that may be found on the right end of the driver's dashboard (at least that's where the fuse diagram is in my W211 E320).
  18. My initial thought was collet, but you undoubtedly already know that.
  19. I can't place it, and it's not completely bizarre, so I have no idea what to make of it. Perhaps it's related to the balancing shafts.
  20. Avoid seeing the film at all costs. Visit a car show or museum.
  21. That vacation was fantastic. Where I reside is about thirty minutes north of Albany. We drove via Vermont and New Hampshire to get to Bangor, Maine, where we slept the night before crossing into Canada. We spent three days beach camping on Prince Edward Island after seeing the Hopewell Rocks in the Bay of Fundy (those tides are incredible). We then traveled the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia, Canada (towing a pop-up camper). What can I say? We were away for a total of two days. The next day, we hit the road again, this time back to Maine, where we spent three more nights camping in Acadia. Nearly 2500 miles were spent on the aging Range Rover by yours truly. Taking my MGB to Prince Edward Island or along the Cabot Trail would be a dream come true. When I drove a Range Rover, people were often asking me about my Land Cruiser. When I needed a component for my car, I'd go to the auto parts shop and explain what it was for. I'd start off by mentioning Land Rovers, then go on to Range Rovers, and the salesman would finally reply, "Oh yes, Toyota."
  22. lol! I'm hoping you looked at the Rover I included and not just my signature. I had nothing to tinker with after selling my Range Rover and purchasing my Disco, so I caved and bought my MG. I put quite a lot of hours working on the Range Rover since it was 10 years old, but the much newer Disco has been really dependable. If all goes well with the MGB repair, I'm thinking of purchasing an early Series IIa 109 thereafter. Simply put, I'm sick of the electronics and sensors in newer vehicles.
  23. Check out my current Land Rover! The land bridge leading to Porcupine Key in Bar Harbor, photographed at low tide.
  24. Is the Land Rover included?! I have two and they're great if that's the case. I'm now driving a 1999DII, but previously had a 1988 Range Rover. Please find attached a snapshot I took of my Rangie when we were touring Nova Scotia's Cabot Trail.
