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.

I personally considered it to be of poor quality. 🙄

Have you verified the amount of Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) and determined the date of its most recent change?

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.

It is possible that the handbrake shoes are sticking somewhat. Engage and disengage the handbrake while keeping the button down to see whether it vanishes. Accumulation of rust and brake dust in the drum.

It impacted my wife's 2006 A Class. The components took a long time to arrive.

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.

Congratulations

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?

Given that you mentioned the installation of a new ignition switch, it would be advisable to prioritise inspecting that component. Attempt to cycle the device many times and vigorously shake the key. Additionally, tap the device a couple of times while the engine is in operation. We hope that you are able to identify the issue promptly. Please keep us informed of any updates as we are eager to hear about a positive outcome.

It seems to be a significant issue with the electrical connection. The potential causes include faulty battery connections at both ends of the leads, power issues with the fuse box, starter, alternator, and even a possible problem with the ignition switch. Based on the information provided, it does not seem to be related to the electronic control unit (ECU) or any similar component. Therefore, it is advisable not to introduce new equipment without first examining the fundamental elements. Begin by inspecting all significant connections at both ends and proceed accordingly. Wishing you the utmost success.

Typically, the AC compressor will operate when you use the front defrost feature to remove moisture from the air. Low humidity is more efficient in defogging the windscreen and avoiding further fogging.

Thank you for the advice, I ultimately choose to use a solution of somewhat diluted fairy juice in warm water, along with delicate scrubbing utilising detailed brushes. Next, use a microfiber cloth to remove any remaining residue, then immerse it again in plain warm water. Significantly improved! Now let's address the little blemish on the driver's seat! I will not use the ineffective Astonish fabric cleaner that I purchased some time ago.

Using baby wipes is a wise suggestion, and I am certain that we have some readily available.

Greetings, everyone. After doing internet research and consulting several sources, including forums, I was unable to find a satisfactory answer to this specific concern. Therefore, I have decided to seek assistance from experts. I just purchased a 2011 C220, which is generally in good condition, but there are some minor imperfections in some sections of the inside. I have purchased vacuum cleaner micro components and small valet brushes for narrow crevices. However, there is persistent dirt in some areas near the switchgear, particularly on the steering wheel. I would appreciate any advice on how to protect the sensitive electronics in my beloved new automobile from any damage when cleaning, since I am concerned about causing any harm. Allow me to outline my proposed approach: apply a little amount of kitchen degreaser spray to persistent stains (without using too much), allow it to sit for a while, then remove it by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. To clean non-electronic components, vigorously scrub them with brushes and hot soapy water. Afterwards, gently pat them somewhat dry using a separate clean towel. I have previously cleaned the inside of my vehicles, but this is the first automobile I own that is equipped with steering wheel controls and a wide range of intelligent functions. Please inform me if I am making any mistakes.

May I inquire about the reason for the recent replacement of the alternator and starter? Battery efficiency is not just determined by the static voltage recorded when installed in a motionless automobile, since this measurement is essentially worthless. Instead, efficiency should be evaluated under load circumstances, taking into account both the voltage and the battery's capacity to sustain a high cranking current.

Electrical problems might be perplexing, thus it is generally advisable to first rule out the basic factors. Please note that evaluating the voltage with a basic voltmeter is inconclusive, and it is necessary to assess the battery's efficiency (% efficiency) under load circumstances. It would be advisable to have the alternator output examined simultaneously. If a new battery is installed, it would need coding to the automobile. Please provide us with an update on your progress.
