  1. Thus, it may be a SIM problem in the vehicle.
  2. That seems like something the Kia workshop could handle.
  3. Perhaps…It strikes me as peculiar that I should be alerted if the oil level is insufficient, even while the engine is operational. Nonetheless, I receive no notification.
  4. I appreciate the recommendation. I adhered to the protocol to the best of my comprehension. The vehicle was stationed on a flat surface and had been turned off for multiple hours prior to my inspection of the level. I re-examined it after approximately one hour.

  6. Greetings to all,I possess a 2017 Volvo V60 D3 2.0 diesel with an automatic gearbox, presently at 189,477 kilometres. The vehicle is equipped with an electronic oil level sensor and lacks a manual dipstick.I observed an anomaly in the oil level measurement.At 188,072 kilometres, I replenished the oil to nearly the maximum level. At 188,490 km, following a distance of 418 km, the oil level remained nearly unchanged.At a distance of 189,477 km, the indicator reads LOW.What appears peculiar to me is the absence of a gradual decline in the exhibited level. It remained at a consistent level before abruptly indicating LOW.Yesterday, after the vehicle had remained stationary on flat terrain for multiple hours, I examined the oil level and it indicated LOW. The dashboard did not display an independent warning notification.I examined it once more today after the vehicle had been stationary for approximately one hour. Remarkably, the screen exhibited MAX / OK for approximately 5 seconds before abruptly transitioning to LOW.The vehicle operates typically, and I have not encountered any oil pressure alerts.Might this be a defective oil level sensor or a problem with the electronic oil level gauge? Has anyone encountered the oil level indicator fluctuating from MAX/OK to LOW in this manner?I have refrained from adding additional oil as I wish to avoid overfilling in case the sensor provides an erroneous reading. Any guidance or comparable experiences would be highly valued! I appreciate it!
  7. The fuel pipe connections, for example, are allowing air to enter. Is it possible to also have it sucked in by the high-pressure pump? I need to check for injector leak off. Also, usually this would manifest as a fuel leak, right? I can barely discern any scent of diesel in the slight mist that lingers around a few of the fuel pipes.
  8. Yes, this is exactly what I'm considering; I believe it has more to do with fuel than glow plugs. At this point, it's just annoying, but it always starts and runs well afterward. Is anything out there that you've tested or looked into?

  10. Excuse me, I have a W211 E320 cdi with 108k miles on the om642 V6 diesel engine. Up until a couple of years ago, it was serviced regularly using genuine parts, even by the main dealer. I've got a problem where when it's left for a couple of days unused it'll take a bit longer to start, it always does start but it's like when you change the fuel filter and theres air in the lines, once it does start it runs perfect and will start again that day and even the next no problem at all, its only when it's 2+ days. There isn't a glow plug light or engine management light on, and it's hot here right now (more than 30 degrees Celsius), so I doubt they're needed. Using my rudimentary OBD reader, I have tracked the fuel rail pressure: with ignition on number 2, it ranges from 6.5 bar to 8.7 bar, and when the engine is started, it stays around 300 bar and climbs as the throttle is applied. Bosch made the battery, which is relatively new. I've checked under the hood and didn't find any major leaks; however, I did notice a tiny mist of oil (or maybe fuel?) on the fuel hoses connecting the high-pressure pump to the fuel filter; however, the mist is so tiny that I am unable to determine its source or whether it would have any impact. Can you think of anything?
  11. Is the manual somewhere you've looked? Even though I don't recall that feature being available in my 1997, I always drove it with the driver's seat fully reclined :D. Utilising the seat memory, you could achieve a similar effect. I set up '2' so it was identical to '1' only the mirrors were orientated downward so I could see the curb easier when parked.
  12. My car is now running like new after I had the brake lines updated. No longer audible, but produces pleasant booing.
