  1. It is recommended to use 2 step colder NGKs because to the high power output we are aiming for. I purchased these from Burger Tuning. https://burgertuning.com/products/ng...nt=42124774926 Using cooler spark plugs will result in a choppy idle until the engine reaches operating temperature.
  2. Given that he has five other automobiles available for purchase, I believe it is unnecessary to make a prediction. It is not inherently negative; I purchased my first Mercedes, an S210 E55, from a vendor like that, and it was satisfactory.
  3. Various skills are present, as far as I understand. An OBD-II scanner is mostly used for retrieving codes or settings from a vehicle. Some scanners may have limited capabilities to do "write" actions, such resetting specific indications. VCDS was created with the capability to do different activities on the automobile, including "coding." This is exclusive to VW/Audi vehicles and cannot be detected by standard OBD-II scanners. If you are just interested in reading fault codes, there are many affordable OBD-II devices and applications that should suit your needs adequately. If you want to explore the car's settings in more detail and make modifications, VCDS could be a worthwhile investment.
  4. I agree with you. I rely on Google Maps or Waze for navigation when I need to arrive punctually or when I am unfamiliar with the destination, benefiting from their additional features. When I am travelling long distances on a familiar road and have more discretionary time, I prefer to utilise COMAND in vehicles that do not have Apple CarPlay. I simply want a broad estimate of my arrival time and information about any significant delays or road closures to plan an alternative route. An adaptive best path in real-time is not crucial in certain situations 😁
  5. I update maps. I purchased the three-year option, which offers greater value. It is not as efficient as my phone, but I like to set my phone aside and use the large screen.
  6. What level of difficulty is involved in replacing the air filters? Are these cabinets intended for air filtration or engine use?
  7. What if we consider adding a counterbalance in the passenger seat? Are you sure that the issue is not due to the seat?
  8. spiezen That is precisely the method my dealer used to identify and analyse a noise originating from the suspension of my S203 vehicle.
  9. I believe that The Sun should do more study on their automobiles.
  10. The vehicle I possessed before was an R129 SL320, which had 19-inch wheels. However, I decided to replace them because of their appearance. I must admit that I am pretty frugal, even if I only have one car and don't use it much each year. I find it difficult to accept paying a significant amount of money to the government for a car that remains parked in my garage.
  11. Was the 2006 facelift model only offered with the 3.5 engine instead of the 3.7? I vaguely remember hearing about issues with cam chains or tensioners in the 3.5 engines. Additionally, doesn't the road fund licence increase to roughly £700?
  12. I inquired about the Mercedes SL350 at Allon White Sports Cars. I like the appealing colour combination and the vehicle's low mileage. However, I am disappointed to see that there have been 10 prior owners, which raises concerns. Additionally, the service history supplied in the form of a spreadsheet did not instill trust in me, and the MOT history is inconsistent. I am not in a hurry. My present A4 3.0 quattro cabriolet is likely one of the finest in terms of condition, service history, and limited number of previous owners. I am the third owner, but the mileage of 126k may be regarded somewhat high.
  13. It has been some time since I separated from my prior 03 R230 SL350, but I am considering returning to it. I am aware that there are larger engine options available, but the 350 fulfils all my requirements without the complexities of the ABC suspension found in the V8 vehicles. I have seen an advertisement for this automobile, and although it first seems appealing, there are a few concerns that trouble me. Specifically, I am drawn to the car's panoramic roof, heated and ventilated seats, and the optional 18-inch 5-spoke wheels. Nevertheless, the vehicle's service history is only partially documented. Additionally, it is equipped with mismatched and improperly suited tyres. The front discs exhibit significant scoring, and it seems to be without a wind deflector. It is possible that I may have overlooked additional issues that others may notice. I would welcome the insights of people more knowledgeable than myself. Does anybody own information on this particular car?
  14. I am not very fond of the round shape of the c238 shell. The three central air vents are aesthetically displeasing due to their design, as is the internal rope lighting. However, personal preferences and financial means may vary, so if you find them appealing and can afford them, it is a matter of individual choice. I highly encourage you to go with your decision. I am quite satisfied with my 17 plate e350 c207.
  15. The term "indirect" alone indicates a state of being at a low level. Therefore, it is necessary to examine each and every one of them. In contrast to the Direct method, which provides individual pressure readings for each wheel. I agree that the selling dealer should handle the transaction. However, my concern is that they may only replace one of the tyres with a used one to make it resemble the others.
  16. These TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems) operate based on rotational data. Upon detecting a disparity in rotation. I would recommend replacing the rear tyres with new ones, preferably a matching pair.
  17. Thank you for sharing the video. That is precisely the sound I am experiencing in my vehicle. I will rectify the issue after I get it from winter storage.
  18. Greetings, I would want to inquire whether anybody has encountered a boisterous blower motor when operating at its maximum settings. At lesser speeds, the sound is typical, but as the speed increases, a loud noise may be heard coming from behind the dashboard. Please inform me whether anybody has encountered this issue and if disassembling the blower motor for inspection is a complex task.
  19. I use my device on both 19-inch and 20-inch screens, and really, I am unable to discern any difference between them. Ensure that your shocks are in excellent condition, since they may sometimes develop defects. I had an internal failure in one of my shocks, which resulted in a banging sound whenever I encountered a bump, despite the absence of any visible leakage.
  20. Thank you for your valuable suggestions. I will make an attempt.
  21. Greetings, I just had a conversation with Mercedes Benz warranty department addressing the issue of a rusted subframe. Evidently, the non-coverage of the issue stems from the fact that the vehicle in question did not undergo regular servicing at Mercedes-Benz on an annual basis. Could someone provide advice on whether or not this is accurate? The problem at hand pertains to the structural material.
  22. I engaged in further conversation with the dealer earlier today, seeking clarification on the basis for their identification of the evaporator coil. Dealer’s response… Based on our observations, it is evident that the automobile is experiencing a recurring problem. Additionally, the air conditioning sniffer has detected the presence of refrigerant in the car, which can only originate from that specific source. I am uncertain as to whether he is providing me with false information, since the product in question is still covered by warranty, or whether he is being truthful. Do you have any thoughts or opinions on the matter? I would much appreciate any advice. There are two remaining months within the warranty period.
  23. I would want to express my gratitude to all those who have sent me messages. I am uncertain about the compatibility of such items with the X5. The dealer has indicated their willingness to provide coverage for the issue under the warranty. However, as you have previously said, the resolution of the problem necessitates the removal of the whole dashboard. I am uncertain about my inclination to engage in that action, since it is believed to potentially be the source of the issue, albeit not with complete certainty. The confirmation of the source of the odour can only be ascertained upon examination of the coil.
  24. Thank you for your response. Do you have any insights about the potential origins of the odour and the necessary steps to rectify it?
