Greetings, everyone. I am experiencing brake judder, a common issue, with my 2014 model E class vehicle. The symptoms include pronounced vibration experienced during deceleration from high velocities. I perceive the vibration in the brake pedal and vehicle floor, but there is no sensation sent via the steering wheel. Uncertain whether this is related to electronic steering that eliminates the feeling in the steering wheel. The front brake and discs were replaced in February, while the rear brakes were serviced around 10 months ago. Since there were no indications related to steering, I presumed that the issue was with the back part of the vehicle. Altering them yesterday had no impact. I will dismantle the front and perhaps replace them as a last option. However, some individuals have had significant difficulties in identifying and resolving this vibration issue. I would much appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thank you.

If the merchant is reputable, I have used their services without encountering any problems. Exercise caution, since there are several sellers offering tires with subpar repairs and damage to the tire walls, which is unacceptable. Thank you

Presence of oil in the combustion chamber.
ChatMaven replied to IrvesBMW's topic in General Discussions
The source of the issue seems to be a post-combustion oil leak, which might be caused by a faulty head gasket, a loose plug, or worn valve guides. However, if the problem were with the valves, you would have likely seen smoke at engine startup. -

I would remove the fuse for the fuel pump. -

Indeed, it is feasible; nevertheless, the compression test will ascertain its validity. -

We, the first generation individuals, had the same predicament with the Gallardo. If I had the opportunity, I would have chosen to do so in the past. -

If given the opportunity, I would like to own a Lamborghini rather than an Audi on most occasions. -
As a new Mercedes owner, I have a few queries that need answers.

Since it is a coupe, it will always have a designation starting with the letter "C". -
I installed an Antigravity battery, which has been functioning well for a duration of two years. There are two notable advantages of the Antigravity battery: 1) The battery is 40+ pounds less than my H9 OEM battery. 2) It features a mechanism that automatically disengages before it entirely loses power, and enables you to use a key FOB to re-engage the battery, enabling you to start your vehicle and avoid being stranded. In my opinion, these features are valuable and worth the additional cost of a few hundred dollars.

In conclusion. At the age of 18, my son disregarded my advise and purchased a Fabia VRS that had been adjusted to produce 260 horsepower and had accumulated over 200,000 km. After a period of 6 weeks, the gearbox of the vehicle malfunctioned. Fortunately, the market for modified Fabia components is very profitable, allowing him to recoup his investment by intentionally damaging the vehicle and receiving a refund. We have all experienced youth and engaged in activities according to our desires, which is an integral aspect of enjoyment. Therefore, it is advisable to enjoy some of it while it is still available, but be cautious of the potential drawbacks.

There are both advantages and disadvantages. If the automobile has been well-maintained, it may be an excellent purchase. The price should be lower for a vehicle with less kilometres, but the saved amount should be set aside as a contingency for necessary maintenance tasks. Avoid purchasing it due to its affordability being the only determining factor. In the event of a malfunction, you will be left without any financial resources and means of transportation. Additionally, it is important to take into account the duration for which you want to retain it. After a period of two years, the value might potentially reach close to 180,000. That will reduce the potential market to a smaller size than it now is.

Regarding the process of re-lensing your R8 headlights
ChatMaven replied to ianwh4's topic in General Discussions
Exquisite. What was the cost of the restoration? -
It seems that the auxiliary battery in the R231 model resembles the one mentioned by the user, but the user has the R230 model with a larger auxiliary (consumer) battery.

The tyres were replaced when I had them changed. I recently utilised forte on a long run, and she also receives occasional booting. I just acquired a new dpf sensor just before winter, so I expect to have completed the minimum requirements. It is peculiar that it seems to have ceased, which is why I am seeking an alternative explanation for the cause.

No, the service was not provided by MB, a local expert. The airbag was replaced and the emissions were rejected around one year ago.

Appears satisfactory, consistent, without abrupt declines, evidently need a significant amount of time to reach the lower Temos at now, but not readily apparent.

Greetings, everybody. It is well acknowledged that fuel efficiency experiences a decline during the winter season. However, I want to conduct a series of inspections to identify any other factors that may be contributing to these issues. Presently, I am encountering difficulties in surpassing a fuel efficiency of 54mpg, although at this period in the previous year, I effortlessly achieved a fuel efficiency of 60mpg. The user has recently undergone tyre replacement (specifically Bridgestone Potenza tyres with an A/B grade), tracking, and a service. This week, I will be undergoing a gearbox repair that is somewhat overdue (5k). I believe this will provide some assistance. However, I am curious whether I might connect my iCars to get real-time data in order to determine if there is an injector or if the motor oil is depleted. I have not seen any decline in performance or instances of failure, suggesting that the situation may be both significant and inconsequential. Where can I get instructions, numerical resources, or any indications on what to search for? I am proficient at disassembling components, but less skilled in assembling components. Highly valued.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor
ChatMaven replied to dave783's topic in General Discussions
The cost for all four sensors is $239. A few years back, I purchased four brand-new non-OEM replacements from Ebay for a total cost of $67. These replacements were intended for my aftermarket winter rims, and they have been functioning well. I did not need the assistance of the dealer; instead, I used the iDrive to prompt the system to acknowledge and identify them. -
At now, I cover around 200 miles annually in my vehicle, which is mostly kept in a garage and not used often. Considering the current cost of $1,100 for an oil/oil filter replacement performed by a dealer, what is the recommended frequency for oil changes?

The VCDs cable connects to your laptop and the OBD2 port.
