I also purchased mine via Michel. I chose a H6/60ah battery and I am quite satisfied with my decision. The jump start capability provides a reassuring guarantee of never having to be concerned about my battery's power again. Additionally, there is the added benefit of weight reduction. 40 pounds is a substantial weight, and its impact on your back becomes apparent as you feel the strain of hauling it out of the frunk.

Perhaps it is the day when I will get a new automobile...

What is the price of this item? Is it a manual? I have noticed that Kia is increasing the pricing of its authorised used cars. Why do you have a dislike for the colour black? -
The price is now £17,500, but there may be room for negotiation. The car has been driven for 89,000 kilometres. What are your thoughts?

While I wouldn't go as far as calling him a close friend, I do consider him a decent acquaintance. We have purchased family automobiles from him in the past. However, I just want to ensure that the price he is offering is not unrealistically low. I have a strong affinity for my S-Class vehicle, but it does not align with my own identity. I am in need of a more powerful and formidable automobile. I should not have heeded my wife's advice and purchased it first.

I have developed a strong affection for my friend's C63, since he is involved in the business of selling cars. He has had several inquiries for it, but he said that if I can get the necessary funds, he would reserve it for me for a few of weeks. He is capable of doing a P\X transaction, but the price offered is significantly low. Therefore, he intends to sell the automobile to "We Buy Any Car" if he is unable to get the necessary funds promptly, since they are offering a reasonable price for the vehicle. Before I get into this matter, what are the primary concerns that I should be cautious of? The automobile is priced attractively, therefore I want to ensure that there are no suspicious activities involved. Thank you.

Is there an issue with the instrument panel?

Perhaps Bimmercode has configurable features that can be activated. -

Utilise the hidden menu to initiate the dash self-test? Google and YouTube -
Inspect the discs for any deviation from a perfectly round shape - displace the brake pads and rotate the discs. It is preferable to have a dial gauge, however if you are seeing significant vibration, it should be easily noticeable. Additionally, inspect the wheel bearings while you are doing the task. As previously mentioned, rust or debris may be present at the interface between the mounting face and the hub. Can you please verify once more? If you are certain that the discs are not the source of the problem, you may proceed to investigate other factors. The occurrence of the identical problem with two different sets of discs leads me to doubt that the actual component is the probable reason. I must admit that I have had a considerable number of automobiles, including more than 20 Mercedes-Benz vehicles. However, I have encountered problems with warped or out-of-specification discs just once, to the best of my recollection.

Is the Key Fob unable to operate the window or roof mechanisms?
Geek2232 replied to Geek2232's topic in General Discussions
It seems that the battery was indeed the cause of the issue, since replacing it in the malfunctioning fob resolved the problem and everything returned to its regular state. Was the difference due to the use of a Duracell battery? -

UPDATE - I replaced the battery in the malfunctioning fob with another spare battery, and to my surprise, both fobs are now functioning properly. Thank you to all who took the time to react with their views. -
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.

Immaculate 560 SEC with just 69,000 miles.

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.
