  1. I would prefer a 308GTB or GTS over the Testarossa, however I would not refuse it if offered as a gift.
  2. A black hood would have enhanced it for me; however, otherwise...oooof 🥰
  3. This is also somewhat palatable from the same source:
  4. My app did not display my route statistics for 24 hours yesterday.
  5. Thank you for your response. I have a nearby dealership but was wanting to circumvent scheduling an appointment. I will search for specialists.
  6. Approximately two months ago, while driving home on an exceptionally hot day, the low tyre pressure warning light activated. I stopped to inspect the tires; there were no concerns. I restarted the vehicle, and the alert disappeared. Ten minutes later, the warning light illuminated once more, accompanied by many more warning indicators—ABS, tire inflation, power steering, etc.—yet there was no impact on the vehicle's handling. It has been somewhat sporadic since then; at times it activates, while at other times it does not. Occasionally, it is merely the single warning; at other times, there are many alerts. Presented the vehicle to a mechanic who connected it to diagnostic equipment and reported a warning for the tire pressure sensor (rear right) and a "power steering VSA system malfunction." He erased the codes, resulting in a temporary cessation, but the issue has since reoccurred. He also assessed the battery's condition and stated it was satisfactory. Has anyone else encountered a similar experience?
  7. A flush will substitute fluid for air. Eliminating the final reservoir of air can be somewhat challenging on certain cars. It is necessary to identify the system's highest point from where it can be bled and to confirm that it is indeed the highest point in the system. The final point may occasionally necessitate elevating the corner of the vehicle where the bleed point is situated. Uneven terrain can determine the success or failure of the undertaking.
  8. I recommend initiating a thread in the appropriate section, as few individuals are likely to check this area to greet others.
  9. I would advise caution; nevertheless, certain engines do not require extensive break-in periods, or at least not for prolonged durations. I cannot recall all the specifics, so please conduct some research on the topic.I understand that my engine (S55) requires the essential RIS, yet I have also heard that it is not imperative.
  10. Indeed, I have had a similar issue previously with the holding clip detaching, necessitating an expenditure of at least £40 for lens replacement. It is advisable to warm the lens with a hairdryer to facilitate the flexibility of the plastic; attempting removal at low temperatures is ill-advised.
  11. Consider whether, similar to my Sorento, it merely serves as a fuel usage indication.
  12. Uncertainty regarding INPA in relation to new generation vehicles may exist. I utilise the Autel Pro 2 Elite and must connect to the server to perform specific resets and updates. The increment wheel adaptation is available in its options, which I am aware of as I have previously executed it.
  13. Has the timing wheel on the rear of the crankshaft been compromised? It is positioned between the flywheel and crankshaft and features a coated surface that safeguards the segments read by the crank position sensor. On the B38 and B48 engines, the Autel diagnostic tool allows for reprogramming the interaction between the wheel and sensor. The diagnostic code indicates a misfire in cylinder number one, which may simply be due to a malfunctioning injector, as the live data readings are weak. The B series engines present significantly greater challenges for maintenance and repair.
  14. A 2017 W205 is expected to utilise SI-OAT coolant (326.X), which has a four-year replacement interval for many Mercedes-Benz vehicles. It is typically pink or red. The 15-year coolant is 325.X and is typically blue-green.
  15. Indeed, BMW-specific scanners will diagnose the PDC for defects and identify the specific sensor position that is malfunctioning.
  16. A single defective sensor prompts the entire system to revert to a fault status and deactivate. The tap has undoubtedly compromised the sensor, necessitating at least one repair, and potentially damaging the supporting bracket as well. A inspection is required when the bumper is removed.
  17. The optimal approach is to operate it at a continuous speed of 40 mph or higher intermittently; this will allow it to reach optimal temperature, and you will see the regenerative effect when the exhaust sound changes somewhat.
  18. Indeed, it is an excellent vehicle that consistently challenges me; it is a passion!
  19. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=brembo discs&campid=5338181132&customid=2518X1570512X096113a32567254e51cc8d23dd72671a&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&subId2=15&toolid=10001
