  1. I will proceed with the purchase and thereafter share the outcome.
  2. Further elaboration on the issue at hand: The light selection switch and its surrounding indicators do not illuminate, but all other switches exhibit proper illumination. Moreover, the headlights and taillights are activated, regardless of the position of the light selection switch, even during daytime hours. When the switch is set to the "Auto" mode and the door is opened while the ignition is off, the buzzer will continue to sound until the selector is switched to the off position.
  3. Upon closer examination during the evening, it is evident that there is a rubber grommet housing a cluster of wires, which are encased in black tape, protruding from it. This component is situated at the posterior section of the light unit, which forms an integral part of the rear fender. I harboured uncertainty over the decision to attempt its reversal. Additionally, there exists another component of the light unit that is integrated into the rear trunk lid. I want to capture photographs and thereafter upload them on the following day.
  4. The brightness was assessed and found to be satisfactory. Upon visual inspection, it seems that all wires are in satisfactory condition, with no apparent indications of fraying. Consequently, the subsequent course of action is seeking the expertise of an automotive electrician. Thank you for your assistance.
  5. Greetings, The dashboard is displaying an error message indicating a fault with the vehicle lighting. Upon inspection, I have verified that all the lights are functioning properly, with no bulbs or LEDs exhibiting any signs of being unlit. Upon doing a scan using On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD-II), the following problems have been identified: The defects are unable to be eliminated. Are there any potential factors that might be attributed to the cause of this phenomenon? The user expresses gratitude for the assistance provided.
  6. Upon careful examination of the accompanying documents, it is evident that the AMG Line Edition and the AMG Line Night Edition exhibit similar callipers and, in all likelihood, possess identical disc dimensions. Hence, based on theoretical considerations, it can be inferred that the 19-inch wheels, which are originally installed on the AMG Line, are expected to be compatible. Naturally, the optional accessories offered by the manufacturer mostly pertain to bigger wheel diameters rather than smaller ones, hence explaining the absence of the latter in the presentation. The hybrid vehicle, equipped with 18-inch wheels, exhibits a noticeable reduction in calliper size. If my calculations are accurate, decreasing the diameter by 1 inch is expected to result in the wheel being around 12-13mm closer to the calliper. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the size adjustment should be acceptable. What is your insurance company's perspective on the installation of smaller wheels? It is likely to be deemed acceptable if it can be adapted to other models that have similarities with yours. This is because, in actuality, the distinction lies mostly in the amount of trim rather than a more potent variation. In relation to the remarks made by Cabrio Chap, it has come to attention that several discussions have taken place on this platform about the occurrence of damaged 19-inch wheels. It seems that BMW vehicles are also experiencing similar problems.
  7. I recommend consulting the website wheel-size.com for the desired information.
  8. The replacement of brake fluid often aligns with the B service interval for vehicles that undergo yearly servicing, since both maintenance tasks are scheduled to occur every two years. However, automobiles that need servicing more often than once a year as a result of covering a significant distance get desynchronized.
  9. Several years ago, I successfully installed a fitting on my E class vehicle. However, it is questionable if the installation of a catch can will effectively resolve the issue of smoke emission. It is more probable that the smoke is indicative of a different underlying problem. The primary function of a newly installed positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) tube is to provide a controlled flow of oil towards the turbocharger. This constituted the discussion on the other side.
  10. Should I complete the Platinum or Fairy tabs?
  11. I recall an acquaintance recounting to us his arrival at his residence after a day's labor on a hot afternoon. While filling the kettle at the kitchen sink, the individual saw the bathroom carpet, which was divided into three sections, suspended on the heavily stretched laundry line located in the rear yard. The individual inquired his spouse on the matter. The individual expressed that the object was unclean and afterwards made the decision to cleanse it. Due to its excessive size, she proceeded to divide it into three smaller pieces, since it was not feasible to launder it whole in the washing machine. He exhibited some similarities to Karl Pilkington. The information was conveyed to us when we were present at a construction site during the designated period of lunch break. We all had a moment of amusement.
  12. Indeed, we are contemplating several generations. Moreover, the intermittent illumination of the flashing light serves as a means for the vehicle to communicate to the operator that there may be an issue or anomaly that need immediate consideration and resolution. I would suggest considering a visit to a Mazda dealership in order to have a diagnostic scan.
  13. In the event that the immobilizer system fails to receive a signal from the key fob or has difficulty in maintaining its connection while the engine is operational, it will activate the immobilizer light as a means of alerting the driver of the inability to locate the key fob. The potential reason of this issue might be a depleted battery in the key fob.
  14. I would be inclined to make a purchase from the aforementioned business at a price of £65, or alternatively, choose to have the bumper sprayed.
  15. Thank you for your response. The primary focus of attention is directed towards the washer cover of the obsidian black automobile, as it is now in a state of utter disrepair and detachment from the vehicle. The matter concerning the Palladium Silver car, which exhibits a shade closer to grey, is of lesser significance at this particular moment. Additionally, since it serves as my primary vehicle for an extended period, I am inclined to adopt a more daring approach towards it, hence being less concerned about assuming slightly higher levels of risk. I intend to address the scuff on the bumper by using a polishing technique, in an attempt to rectify the issue. If this approach proves ineffective, it may be necessary to engage the services of a repair specialist who can do a smart repair or conduct a spray painting procedure on the bumper.
  16. There exists a commercial entity on the online marketplace eBay that offers purportedly authentic components, which have been painted to match the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) colors, for a price of £65. Although the cost is quite high, considering that the estimated price of the component is anticipated to be between £30-45 (an actual amount will be obtained today), in addition to the expenses for the spray can and clear coat, it may be more practical to just pay the £65. Ultimately, the whole expenditure is expected to be similar.
  17. I will attempt to restore the component using adhesive materials. However, it is regrettable that the component now exhibits a loose fit inside its designated position.
  18. Thank you for your response. However, I must clarify that I have not acquired the knowledge in issue, so my inquiry may seem to be lacking in sophistication.
  19. The cover in question is really for the headlight washer, not the windshield washer. However, I am unable to modify the title at this time.
  20. Greetings, I am in possession of a W212 vehicle that requires a replacement headlamp washer cover in the color obsidian black, as well as another W212 vehicle that necessitates a front driver's side sill/jack point cover in the color palladium silver. I am now unable to locate the desired components on eBay's platform, particularly in the used category, which would be the most preferable and convenient option. The company MB offers these components in a state where they are just coated with primer, so being prepared for further painting. The black W212 vehicle may need a bumper respray or repair. Initially, I want to do this using a dual-action (DA) tool. However, I am uncertain about the most effective method for painting and applying a clear coat to get the desired outcome. Is it sufficient to get the paint using the paint code and a can of clear coat? If yes, from which source should these items be procured? Furthermore, it is suggested that one attempts the task at hand, gradually applying many layers to the subject matter. Has anybody attempted this and had difficulties? Alternatively, is it possible to bring the individual components to a paint shop and compensate them a nominal amount to apply a spray and clear coat? I am currently unfamiliar with any local establishments in my vicinity that I may confidently rely on for the aforementioned services, such as bumper resprays or repair work. Consequently, my only recourse is to rely on recommendations obtained from online sources such as Google. Greetings
  21. Has anybody have any success with their task? I am encountering a similar issue. The year 2003 marked the occurrence of D3.
  22. Greetings. The current status is negative, indicating that the desired outcome has not yet been achieved. I had the vehicle's diagnostics assessed using the VAG-COM system. The default language for the MMI code was initially set to German. However, even after changing the default language to English, the code continues to exhibit the same behavior. I have obtained the original Audi update software CDs and will attempt to address the issue by doing an upgrade. I have not yet undertaken that task, since I intend to keep the vag-com device within close proximity. It is my belief that the coding may get compromised during the operation, necessitating subsequent restoration. If this approach proves to be ineffective, I will be compelled to seek assistance from a professional service.
