Greetings, has anybody had a similar issue? One of the keys for my C250 Convertible no longer operates the windows or controls the roof, while the other key still functions properly. By default, I am using a versatile key that performs several functions. However, I am experiencing issues with the key's behaviour, which is somewhat exasperating. I am curious if there is a means to rectify this problem. Could it be a matter of programming the key? If so, how can it be done? No solutions were found on YouTube.

Recently, many ordinary, outdated Mercedes vehicles have been selling for prices lower than expected. I am curious to ascertain the revenue generated by this particular item. -
For those who like do-it-yourself projects, the amount of information available on modifications for this platform and website is fairly restricted. For the Gen 2, I only found one comprehensive post specifically addressing the process of doing an oil change, which is a quite straightforward task. The user's text indicates a lack of information on the transfer case and gearbox fluids, as well as a lack of guidance on how to change brake pads. If you are interested in modifying the exterior of your vehicle, it is important to note that the availability of parts may be relatively restricted to a select few companies. If you do not engage in do-it-yourself activities, then none of the information provided is relevant to you. I am pleased with my purchase of a high-quality vehicle.

Understandable, I made that statement since almost every GTR that comes in my automated search on AT has been modified by Litchfield. Therefore, I would assert that they are still rather popular.

Do you have anything to support your claim that the JDM tuning scene has ceased to exist at Litchfield?

To remove the residue left on the automobile, you may apply heat to it and then easily peel it off using a powerful adhesive tape, such as gaffer tape. I did not need the use of any solvent or remover on the two items I have worked on, one of which was brand new and the other was 7 years old. Additionally, I would like to offer a piece of advise - refrain from posting the same question in many sections of the forum. 😉

Upon entering my vehicle today, I saw that both windows had descended to a level about sufficient for opening the doors. Additionally, I experienced a considerable quantity of water entering the vehicle on the passenger side. I have two inquiries for the forum's collective knowledge: Question 1: Does anybody have knowledge of the potential reason of this situation? Could a low battery voltage be the cause of this? I can verify that the windows were not left open and that I keep the key in a faraday pouch while I am not in the vehicle. Question 2: What is the most effective method for removing moisture from a car? I have been driving with the air conditioning set to recirculate and the heating turned up to the maximum level, but I can only do this for a certain period of time. Generation 2 - 2023, Quattro Performance. Thank you in advance.

Level sensor. Please inspect the connections inside the plug.

Indeed, I had a similar line of thought. I possess sufficient recollection of conventional automobiles and trucks that encountered challenges pertaining to gearbox overheating and subsequent burnout, necessitating the attachment of aftermarket oil coolers to ensure their operational functionality. I am intrigued by the potential dissipation of energy in a R8 gearbox, even while operating off the track. Consequently, I am interested in understanding how the GT manages this dissipation in the absence of a cooler.
-
Is there a potential for the box to experience overheating? Is the oil being used to operate with a greater viscosity?

What should be deleted and replaced with?

Although the price has decreased by £1200, I am pleased that the task has been completed and that the gearbox, which Audi always assured me is'sealed for life' and resistant to change, now has new oil. I am really concerned about the potential financial implications that might have arisen if Audi had undertaken the task or if I had experienced a breakdown as a consequence. Significant expenditures have been made on the automobile lately, including the replacement of rear bumpers and front condensors, along with a few minor repairs. However, the car is now a genuine pleasure to drive. Coming up next is a walnut blast and a comprehensive engine service.

For those who own older automobiles, I was quite taken aback by the condition of the gearbox oil cooler pressures on my 2008 vehicle. The Audi dealership has not made any reference to this matter, but they consistently disclose other small issues that do not need attention. After persistently seeking assistance from my nearby Audi dealership to replace the gearbox oil, I finally located a reputable local shop that I can rely on for servicing the R8. Upon arrival for the oil change, they saw this issue and recommended that I repair the oil cooler pipes prior to applying fresh oil. Regrettably, the corrosion shown by the fittings of the oil cooler and thermostat was equally severe, necessitating their replacement. Consequently, the initial cost of £200 for an oil change was reduced to £1,200. The Audi oil cooler was on backorder for more than a month, but I successfully located a pre-owned, almost new one on eBay for £175, which is half the price of the Audi model. The pipes were priced at £480 from Audi, while the thermo valve was priced at £75. If I had more time, I would have found more affordable alternatives. However, I had to prioritise getting the vehicle back on the road.

Ultimately, RainX is strongly discouraged.

I personally considered it to be of poor quality. 🙄 -
Attempt to deactivate or activate the air conditioning system to see whether it eradicates the issue. Drive belts or drive belt tensioners may produce noise. Please inspect the belt to assess its condition. I have also been informed that the fuel return valve may produce a "tizzing" sound when under pressure, which ceases after the pressure decreases.

Have you verified your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) here? Current recalls for Mercedes-Benz My 2013 S204 had two recalls for both the passenger and driver airbags. -

I doubt it can deploy; it is more probable that it will not deploy even in the case of a collision. An airbag failure should totally deactivate the damaged airbag. -
I am unable to see images as well.
