  1. One could obtain the tune from Velocity AP and request the removal of the DEF and DPF in the tuning process.
  2. Everything is functioning adequately without it, thank you.
  3. Thank you. It seems I do need it; I will proceed with the exchange.
  4. Can someone clarify what this is and if it is necessary for me? I have recently substituted the central console, and the new unit lacks the feature included in the previous one. Thank you.
  5. Indeed, I concur; it is also a dashboard warning light.
  6. A compression test is necessary to determine whether the rings are defective. If you share your location, someone may be able to suggest a garage to do the compression testing.
  7. If that were accessible, it would be excellent; but, primarily since the car is high specification, I need a technician with expertise in Mercedes to do a thorough inspection and ensure it is in optimal operational condition. I want to avoid spending a substantial sum just to discover that £3000 in repairs and maintenance is required three months later. I enquired if there are any countrywide inspection services of such kind, distinct from conventional RAC or AA inspections.
  8. Greetings, I am considering acquiring a C63 AMG (W204) in the next weeks and months. It is only a matter of identifying the appropriate option when the occasion arises. Regardless of the automobile I choose and its aesthetic appeal, I still like to have it inspected prior to purchase. I anticipate purchasing a vehicle privately and lack clarity on my requirements; thus, I want an expert to do a thorough examination to assess its value. I have seen that firms such as RAC and Click Mechanic provide a general service rather than a specialised one. I assume there are model-specific aspects to consider while inspecting a C63, which are crucial to identify, and I believe the RAC may overlook these details. I am enquiring if there are any countrywide professionals available to do a pre-purchase examination, or whether I must seek local services in the region where I want to purchase the vehicle. Salutations
  9. I would be wary of the components, particularly the sensor. Attempt to interchange the sensor from one side to the other and see whether the defect relocates, after verifying the live data.
  10. Examine the velocity feedback from each sensor in real-time data. What kind of sensor and bearing did you install?
  11. Utilise the Peugeot Planet map inside the group, as it will display the locations of members who may assist with diagnostic plug-in services.
  12. Could you refrain from uploading the video to YouTube and then posting the link here?
  13. What is your intention with the plate? 🙂
  14. I may not gain any supporters with this statement, however Kia let me to download the update from their website, transfer it to a USB drive, and then upgrade my vehicle. With OTA, Kia's only additional expense is the bandwidth required for data downloads. In contemporary times, that is not costly, suggesting they impose charges due to their ability to exploit client convenience. They are offering a seven-year warranty to differentiate themselves in the industry. Why not include seven years of OTA updates?
  15. Thank you for providing the link. Are you aware of the specific dynamometer at which this measurement was taken? The torque seems to be insufficient.
  16. Are you suggesting that with these modifications, the use of E85 fuel will result in an engine horsepower output of about 680-700? I have not come across any specific data about the performance figures achieved with E85 fuel. I have already acquired a personalised tuning and a Capristo exhaust system. The vehicle has a horsepower of 643 and a torque of 603 Newton meters.
  17. What is the function of the intake manifold and what are the advantages of using titanium valves? Thank you for the prompt response. Indeed, I have requested both the list of modifications and the dyno results. I am anticipating his reply. I would want to enquire with the forum on any potential modifications that have been made to the automobile. The cost is not a significant concern, and I have no interest in SC or TT. I have experienced driving both vehicles, and in my own view, it significantly diminishes the overall dynamism of the automobile. I have also reduced the weight of the vehicle by around 150 pounds by removing the exhaust, seats, batteries, and wheels. I believe that achieving a horsepower range of about 670-680 is feasible.
  18. I was observing this video. He asserts a horsepower of 700. Curious about the actions he has taken about the engine.
  19. Does anybody have knowledge of the power levels that this might attain? On the second generation of cars from 2015 to 2020, with a tune and exhaust system, I see a power output of around 650 horsepower and 630 Newton-meters of torque while using 93 octane fuel (98 octane in the European Union). Curious about the meaning of E85 numerals If anybody has any information on this matter, then kindly share it. Thank you.
  20. We have conducted extensive inspections in that region, and the Controle Technique (MOT) examiner also performed an assessment a few weeks ago. The control arms were replaced in 2017, along with almost all other components.
