  1. I had a similar notion, but, I discovered that the conversion kits are very costly, and transitioning also necessitates alterations to the electrical and electronic components. At now, I lack the necessary expertise to do this task, and entrusting the automobile to a professional would result in a substantial charge up to several thousand pounds, which exceeds the car's value.
  2. I am experiencing difficulties with the rear suspension of my 2011 S212 E350 CDI, which has covered 90000 km. I believe that the suspension requires calibration after the cleaning of the pressure release valve. I am interested in purchasing a scanner that has the capability to do the above task, and ideally, other functions such as notifying the Engine Control Unit (ECU) when certain components are replaced. I am aware that the Youcanic scanner has the capability to calibrate the suspension. However, I am also considering Autel and Launch scanners. The issue I am facing is the lack of clear information on the capabilities and limitations of the scanners for motherboards like mine. Assistance in this matter would be much appreciated.
  3. Do you have any new information to share? It would be intriguing to find out.
  4. I often see the suggestion that the air conditioning system must be reset after the addition of refrigerant. By what means? Is there an alternative to Carsoft?
  5. Under what circumstances, other than being in excellent condition, would the A/C button flash and then cease to do so? I am not detecting any problem codes from Carsoft, by the way. Thank you.
  6. Apologies, the query is not foolish; rather, it is my own lack of understanding that is at blame. I have discovered the method to do it, and when the engine is running and the air conditioning is on, the pressure increases to 13 bar. Is this favourable or unfavourable? It suggests that it is functional, but if that is the case, why did it fail to operate before (admittedly, I should have taken pressure measurements during the previous failure, but..)
  7. Today, I had to replace a wheel sensor, so I connected Carsoft to verify the specific wheel that needed to be changed. I had no issues save for the wheel signal, so I decided to test the air conditioning system, which functioned well, as did the ECO mode. It is rather perplexing! Regardless, I shall proceed with refilling the system.
  8. Thank you - I had never considered it before. I will replenish the system and thereafter evaluate the outcome. Excellent guidance!
  9. The vehicle in question is a 2011 diesel model with the code name W204. Two weeks ago, the eco mode in my device malfunctioned, so I replaced both batteries. After the replacement, the device functioned properly and without any issues. Unexpectedly, there is no response whatsoever when I activate the environmental button. The button fails to illuminate and the dashboard displays no information. Do you have any insights as to the cause of this occurrence? Thank you.
  10. Greetings, Did you manage to rectify the issue with your Mini? I am encountering the same issue. Thank you.
  11. The vehicle in question is powered by a diesel engine. Based on my assessment, it appears that the turbocharger may be experiencing a deficiency in its boosting capability.
  12. The performance of my 2016 Kia Sportage 2.0 AWD K4, which has accumulated 80,000 miles, appears to be satisfactory and it exhibits sufficient power. However, in the past month, I have observed that it has been experiencing difficulty in towing an empty horse trailer and there is a noticeable lack of power when accelerating. Previously, it effortlessly ascended a steep incline while towing a double horse trailer without any problems. Now it is incapable of pulling an empty one. Are there any prevalent problems associated with diminished power?
  13. I'm sorry, but I must express my disagreement with you on this matter. I have made several modifications to my R8, such as performing my own oil changes, upgrading the exhaust system (I experimented with multiple options and ultimately constructed my own using a Huracan Performante exhaust), replacing the brakes (including upgrading from steel rotors and callipers to ceramic ones), and even creating my own taillights. All of these tasks were accomplished by using the shop manuals offered by some members, as well as by seeking answers to queries they have responded to. In my opinion, this community is exceptional. Nevertheless, like other automobiles produced in low quantities, the availability of parts for the R8 is restricted.
  14. Is it possible to activate a double press lock feature without using the deadlock mechanism? Previously, this was the situation with my previous Volkswagen. Permitted the doors to be opened inside and disabled the internal alarm sensors.
  15. The phrase "car for people - boot for dogs" is not applicable.
  16. Undoubtedly, the coupe is visually striking and continues to attract attention. It is not possible to transport people in the rear since it is very inconvenient for them to exit - resembling a puzzle.
  17. I alter my year, irrespective, for the sake of tranquilly. Given that the cost of a new engine is $50,000, I am willing to replace the oil on a yearly basis. While there is no certainty, I find it to be realistic. I own some gas-powered machinery that I am willing to abandon, but I do not own the automobile.
  18. The tamperproof clip is equipped with a specialised tool. If you are unable to borrow a tool, you will need to forcefully remove it with a grinder and replace it with a regular clip.
  19. Will this alternative, a 10w-50, be as effective as a 10w-40 oil, considering the unavailability of the latter?
  20. The oil temperatures often fluctuate between 110 and 120 degrees during regular driving. I intend to purchase 5w-40 totally synthetic oil since I am having difficulty finding any 50 grade oil in stock. These are the oils that are now accessible for immediate purchase. https://ato24.de/en/shell-helix-hx8-5w-40.html https://ato24.de/en/liqui-moly-synthoil-high-tech-5w-40.html https://ato24.de/en/ravenol-rse-sae-10w-50.html
  21. Thank you for providing all the information, sir. I contacted my nearby automotive retailer and regrettably, they do not have a 10w-50 oil in their inventory. However, they do offer a 10w-40 and a 10w-60. Which one is most suitable for me to utilise? The temperature in my location today reached 44 degrees Celsius, which is equivalent to 113 degrees Fahrenheit. I am seeking the optimal oil to use in the R8 for these specific temperature conditions.
  22. Preparing the R8 for the spring season, so an oil change is necessary. Given the high temperatures of 25°C and your need for maximum protection during hot spring days, which of these options would be most suitable for my first R8? https://ato24.de/en/fuchs-titan-gt1-flex-3-5w-40-5-l.html https://ato24.de/en/fuchs-titan-supersyn-5w-50.html https://ato24.de/en/motul-8100-x-power-10w-60.html
