Thank you; I will attempt it tomorrow.

After a delay of two months, I have now received my new GT Line S PHEV. However, I observed many aspects and was informed that I had the largest specification. However, I am unable to activate the auto park assist. It is said that I should hold down the button on the fob labelled 'hold' and then push either forward or backward. Does this function need a fully charged battery? I have attempted various methods, and then I was informed that if one stands behind the vehicle for approximately five seconds, the trunk should automatically open without the need to press the key fob. Additionally, there is no option, as demonstrated in YouTube videos, to amplify the engine noise through the speakers; that feature is simply absent where it is expected to be. Furthermore, while browsing, I discovered a Premier League feature that allows one to select a team and watch content related to it. What is the mechanism behind that? Does anybody possess knowledge?

Indeed, you are indicating that a bench test demonstrated that the video output on the obsolete COMAND device was nonfunctional. You think that the Integrated Automotive unit is responsible for the failure of the visual output on the COMAND unit, maybe owing to an electrical surge. At this juncture, the alleged surge may be attributable to any other component inside the vehicle. Furthermore, I comprehend that the installer (Comand UK / Unique) did not respond to your enquiries. Have you sought assistance from the manufacturer? They are located in Leicester, I suppose.

Are you indicating that the screen remains always blank until Apple CarPlay is used via the Integrated Automotive unit? This would be logical if the Integrated Automotive unit were directly linked to the screen, for instance, by a splitter wire. Nevertheless, since the Integrated Automotive unit is connected to a video auxiliary input on the COMAND unit, I fail to see how the video output on the COMAND unit may be defective. Furthermore, when the new COMAND unit was installed, was your current screen reused, and, more significantly, was your existing video cable (connecting the screen and COMAND) also reused?

I switched from CTek chargers to the Noco Genius 5 since it asserts the capability to charge batteries from 0 volts. Additionally, it also charges lithium batteries, a feature absent in all of my Cteks.

I will contact them on Tuesday.

I am little concerned about the scoring on the cams. Can you assist me in finding a replacement? Alternatively, provide me with guidance towards the correct path. Although I would want to disregard financial constraints, the presence of a spouse necessitates consideration. Consequently, I am contemplating the potential benefits of cleaning the cams and caps to improve the performance of the product in question, which was functioning adequately. Purchasing items on eBay can be a risky endeavour, since the quality and condition of the products are often unknown until they are received. This uncertainty is causing a significant increase in my stress levels, to the point where it is becoming very concerning. Instead of dismantling it like others, I choose to revive the mini. Thank you in advance

Upon inspection, I have seen that the cams and caps exhibit little scoring, which I consider to be within acceptable limits. If left unaddressed, what potential consequences may arise? Furthermore, the cost of a reliable one is around £430, which exceeds the car's worth. This is not an ideal situation for me. I already own the FIA rings and will get kings bearings. Thank you for your assistance.

He has extensive knowledge in the subject, which is relevant to my current project of refreshing an engine. I would really appreciate any information or paperwork that outlines the steps involved in doing an engine refresh and the process of properly bedding in the new components. Such resources would be very beneficial to me.

I have not examined the bearings yet as I was waiting to see what others have done. However, I will now inspect them and proceed to get new stretch bolts. The condition of the head seems OK, but it has not been inspected for warping. It would be advisable to have it professionally pressure tested at a shop to ascertain its integrity. Regarding the break-in process for the piston rings, there are varying opinions among individuals. Thank you.

Greetings I have removed the engine from my 2008 Cooper S due to a need for a new clutch and flywheel. Additionally, the previous owner had run the engine at high temperatures with little oil. Upon inspection, I have found that the cylinder bores are in great shape. My concern is, what course of action would you recommend in this situation? I am replacing the piston rings, conrod bearings, main bearings, chain, oil pump chain, and all gaskets. Is it advisable for me to proceed with replacing the piston rings? Thank you.

If you still own it, you have the ability to offer the future buyer the choice.

Is there no Air Con Eco-Mode available in the hybrid model?

Greetings, Thank you for responding. I presume that it only need a re-gas and does not have an issue with the condenser. I suppose that if that were the case, it would emit heated air. I have a Vauxhall vehicle that exhibited such behaviour some years ago. If the leak is a result of damage, it is not covered by the guarantee. What would be the cost of repairing that? Kia provided me with a quotation of £125 for a re-gas, I believe.

I failed to consider the option of seeking out an air conditioning professional. I was considering a place such as Kwik Fit and saw several advertisements on Groupon. I believe I will need to do a search on Google. I am uncertain about the current market price for a refrigerant recharge.

Greetings, everyone. I am curious to know whether it is possible to get the air conditioning system recharged at any location or if it must be done specifically at a Kia dealership. My air conditioning unit is not providing chilly air and is just producing a breeze similar to that of a fan. Neither warm nor beneficial on a hot day. I own a 2020 Niro Hybrid. I have come across information stating that hybrid vehicles need certain fluids and that some air conditioning re-gas facilities do not provide services for hybrids.

Currently, most insurance companies are charging a higher premium for electric cars (EVs) or hybrid vehicles. Inquiring about suggestions for a certain insurance provider: It is important to keep in mind that insurance companies want to diversify their risk. Therefore, the insurer that offers affordable rates to one individual may not necessarily provide the same affordability to another individual. When an insurance company provides competitive pricing for a certain age group, postcode, or automobile, they quickly get overwhelmed with demand and subsequently raise premiums in that segment. It is important to note that in today's computerised era, claims expenses and insurance rates may be quickly adjusted and reevaluated. For a period of time, many individuals believed that insuring older automobiles was less expensive. Subsequently, the personal injury claims alerted the insurance providers, prompting a swift escalation in prices. The aforementioned information may not be very useful, but it does explain why some individuals seem to get more favourable terms from certain insurance providers. It is advisable to get insurance estimates around 21 days before to changing your insurance policy. Prioritise contacting your existing insurers first - Given the escalating expenses associated with acquiring new clients, there is a possibility of favourable outcomes if you provide the insurance with potential business opportunities. Next, attempt all of the online comparison platforms.

The poor electrical connections on the ignition switch result in an inadequate start signal being sent to the fuel pump, which is responsible for pressurising the system before the engine is turned on. This signal then switches to a signal indicating that the engine is running, although the specific origin of this signal may vary. Verify the consistent reception of electrical signals by the fuel pump relay. During the first cold start, do you see the pumps engaging in the process of "priming" the system for a brief duration upon turning the ignition switch on, prior to starting the engine? Many individuals often attribute the fuel pump relay as a common cause, which is really true. However, it is important to note that even a well functioning fuel pump relay need consistent and dependable electrical signals in order to operate effectively. Apologies for the use of capital letters!

Thank you. Now I am aware that it is absent, and even though it is only a matter of appearance, my obsessive-compulsive disorder has been triggered! laugh out loud

I will attempt to get some detailed photographs later.

On the lower part of the rear bumper, namely where the black section is located. There are many spots available, about 15 to 20. I first believed that it was only an aperture for a sensor, but it turns out that there is a little piece of trim that fits into that space. a chromium-plated component. I am seeking either someone who has a product they are willing to sell to me, or a recommendation for a reputable seller of used items.

Hello everyone I have had my automobile for about one week and I am really enjoying it. One detail that escaped my attention was the absence of a trim piece on the lower part of the rear bumper. Could someone assist me in obtaining a component number, preferably at a reasonable cost, or guide me to a reliable source for purchasing a used one? Hopefully, someone in this group has one.

Even high-quality snap-on scanners might provide inaccurate information. You must use a BMW diagnostic kit to scan it.

I completely agree. You are not relying on gasoline and there is no automatic power shutdown. In the moment of urgency after the first fear and a state of confusion about what to do, you must consider the most effective way to reach the intake. If you happen to have a sufficiently big piece of cloth to totally obstruct it, the shutdown process should begin. However, it is likely that by the time you reach this stage, the situation will have already escalated beyond control. With a manual gearbox, it is possible to stall the engine as soon as the situation becomes uncontrollable, so preventing damage to the engine. I have successfully changed a turbocharger on a second-generation Octavia that operates on oil, resulting in oil leakage throughout the engine. Fortunately, the driver shown prudence by stalling the vehicle via vigorous clutch manipulation.
