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.

Excellent decision! The new product from MB costs £100. Only little used... I just hope I don't mess up while glueing it down.
-
Remove it entirely and begin over instead of attempting to reattach the problematic corner? Thank you
-
Agreed Ordered 3 metres of VHB adhesive. Thank you! I didn't see the insignia before. It might be an optical illusion or a result of accident repair. I verified under the hood and it is definitely not a 320cdi 🙂

Are you serious,Paqngo? Is the banana targeted at my CLS? How audacious of you 😄

They often do not sell items such as tape. I prefer not to hire someone since I am saving money for v power.

Greetings. The chrome trim strip on my car's boot is starting to detach at the edges, as seen in the picture. Double-sided tape has been used, however it is ineffective. What is the best adhesive to use to ensure that it remains securely attached when I reattach it after gently removing it? Thank you very much

Impressive. Excellent colour combination, and it's fantastic to have discovered one with just 80,000 miles on it. It will be durable for over 250,000 miles, assuming you are willing to put in the effort. There are a few of them at my golf club and they consistently make a strong impression. I would have purchased a few myself due to the excellent ride quality, but the noise coming from the passenger seat made me change my mind. Seems like simple adjustment. Hopefully, there is no rust concealed in that drain. Compact discs? What is a "CD"? Shouldn't the focus be on discreet Bluetooth phone connectivity, SIRI integration, and music streaming? What is the historical background? Long-term ownership by a single individual?
