  1. It seems that my buddy, I have just a few choices available.
  2. I had been searching for a year, but without any success...As a last option, I am considering myself opening them up and replacing the internal components.What is your opinion?
  3. Greetings Does anybody own or have knowledge of where I may get electronic folding wing mirrors in silver for my 2001 E46 M3 coupe?
  4. Given that your original MB spring broke at a very low mileage of 50k, it is reasonable to question why the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) option would be superior than alternatives such as Bilstein or Sachs.
  5. Greetings. Observe. https://audi.7zap.com/en/rdw/audi+r8+spyder/r8/2010-618/1/103-103000/#1
  6. The source of the leak on my W211 facelift model was the plastic side strips and the rear lights.
  7. Impressive display of investigative skills, Amanda. Is there any reason for the significant gap in the panels, such as past damage from impact?
  8. At this level, the durability of the clutch discs in the gearbox will be significantly reduced. While they may not slide right away, they will eventually deteriorate.
  9. Oh my goodness! That is a setback.😡
  10. Let's begin! I have three diagnostic kits available. One of them is outdated and can only communicate with Sentinel steam vehicles. I had a disagreement with the Launch one device, which is capable of doing various tasks. After resolving the error codes, I proceeded to start the calibration process. The comperror started but no further actions occurred. I performed this action 3-4 times before switching to our Foxwell device. I performed the calibration process three to four times, but there was no detectable movement. Considering the complete lack of enthusiasm and effort, one would have expected even a little display of curiosity. Unfortunately, the diagnostic kits I have do not provide suspension air pressure, which complicates matters. Is it possible to recharge the system using an external compressor? Is it necessary for it to be disengaged from the bumpstops before it begins to function? Do you have any suggestions or thoughts? Recommendations? Indeed, The automobile is first started and the vehicle's suspension is activated. However, after a few minutes, a warning message appears on the instrument panel in bold red font, indicating that the vehicle's height is too low.
  11. The storyline becomes more complex and intricate! The suspension only has sensors located at the wheels, with no sensors on the rear anti-roll bar. I purchased one from the authorised dealer who shown exceptional courtesy, however they did advise me to have a seat before disclosing the price. The price is somewhat over £200, however it is essential to have one. Well, I may as well tidy up the bracket and give it some attention by using Jenolite and applying a fresh coat of paint. Everything is ready and the vehicle from Mercedes arrives. Impeccable timing! Upon opening the package, one will find a fully assembled item, including a bracket, working rod, and a clip-on component for the top suspension arm. Let us get enthusiastic and assemble it! Now that is over, let's begin. The lack of mobility is somewhat bothersome. It is now time to follow Mr. Greedy's advise and adjust it accordingly... Once I get the necessary knowledge or information. Do you have any recommendations?
  12. By removing the 10mm nut from the bracket, it is possible to lift it upwards using a spike as a pivot point. This allows the end with the spike to travel towards the front of the vehicle, so freeing the bracket and sensor for further work on a bench. It seems like there is a sensor on every wheel, rather than just the front wheels, and there is just one sensor on the rear anti-roll bar. Let's see what Merc brings to us in the morning. The subsequent enjoyable phase will include the events that occur after the automobile has been installed and is started for the first time. Will the vehicle's suspension automatically adjust and become balanced, or will it need calibration? The maintenance of our previous Vario model is far more straightforward.The user's text consists of two emojis: 🤣 and 😂.
  13. We have encountered an unusual issue with our 2014 C220D Waggon equipped with the exceptional Airmatic system. After experiencing issues for many days, I decided to use a code reader to diagnose the problem. The number C152664 indicates a problem in the rear left sensor. There is a signal that is very unlikely to occur. Thus far, the situation has been quite uncomplicated. The sensor must be removed and replaced with a new one. Now the enjoyable part starts. As you are aware, there are two Torx screws securing the sensor. I find it unenjoyable to access and I am not enthusiastic about the act of unscrewing. Do not worry, remove the bracket and do the task on the workbench. There is just one clearly visible 10mm nut. I am unable to locate any further fasteners on the bracket. The object exhibits a noticeable lack of tension when the 10mm nut is removed, giving the impression that it is securely attached to another location. Do you have any suggestions on how to remove the bracket and sensor simultaneously, or is the only method to remove the sensor by unscrewing the 2 Torx screws? Thank you all in advance!
  14. Dear SkippyTom, I have a strong dislike for the 529. There is an imminent disruption in the higher education industry that is evident, and I am hesitant to deposit a significant amount of money in a government-regulated investment account. However, it is worth considering that the regulations have become less strict, even for private K-12 education. Therefore, depending on your individual circumstances and the amount of money saved in state taxes by using this method, it may be beneficial. In general, I'm not very fond of it. An additional commentary on higher education - we have allowed this situation to become unmanageable due to several factors: firstly, we have propagated the notion that a college degree is the sole pathway to financial stability; secondly, the government effectively guarantees student loans, thereby eliminating banks' apprehension about lending; thirdly, banks readily provide substantial sums of money to students pursuing degrees that offer limited practical value; fourthly, universities are empowered to escalate tuition fees to exorbitant levels, as the availability of loans is widespread; and lastly, unsuspecting 18-year-olds find themselves burdened with a mortgage-like debt even before entering the workforce, effectively enslaving themselves. It is very dysfunctional. However, the solution does not include just asking the taxpayers to replace the students as the new supporters of this fraudulent scheme. Instead, it is now necessary to enforce responsibility. If colleges provide an education that justifies the cost by giving students with high-paying jobs, banks would willingly provide funding without the need for government intervention. This is the typical process followed by most other lenders in the nation. However, there are a significant number of individuals inside this system who are earning substantial profits and are reluctant to see that lucrative source of income come to an end, namely the universities and banks. Regardless, the digression is concluded... Regarding healthcare expenses, this system is characterised by excessive bureaucracy and avarice, making it a challenging task to bring about significant change, maybe even more difficult than reforming the school system. Regardless of the situation, it is essential to prepare for the most unfavourable outcome while maintaining optimism for the most favourable one. The Health Savings Account (HSA) is an exceptional financial tool. Invest the maximum amount of money into an S&P index fund and be sure to save any receipts for any current healthcare expenses. Multiple errors have been made in this situation - mostly, individuals neglect to enrol in a Health Savings Account (HSA). In order to be eligible, you must have a health insurance plan with a high deductible, but this is often not a problem if you are in good health. Furthermore, those who register neglect to allocate the funds, allowing them to remain idle in cash or, even worse, use them within the same calendar year, akin to an FSA account. Furthermore, they neglect to save receipts for expenses that they are now paying for with their own funds. There is no specific deadline set by the HSA for reimbursing yourself for costs. Therefore, it is possible to cover the cost of a medical consultation now and reimburse yourself, without incurring any taxes, from your Health Savings Account (HSA) two decades later, if desired. In addition, the range of items covered by a Health Savings Account (HSA) is fairly vast. Lastly, regarding the Health Savings Account (HSA), it might be argued that this is the most influential investing account provided by the government. Funds are deposited without incurring taxes, accumulate without being subject to taxes, and are withdrawn without being taxed. If you happen to be in better condition than anticipated (hopefully!), you have the option to withdraw funds (beginning at age 65, as far as I know) similar to a conventional tax-deferred investment account (such as a 401k or IRA). The only drawback is the restricted sum that one may contribute, which amounts to around $8,300 per year for a family. However, over the course of many decades, it will see substantial growth. Insurance, as previously said, is an essential means of protection, including several types such as umbrella, errors and omissions, and liability insurance. Undoubtedly, the adequacy of insurance coverage varies based on individual circumstances. However, for the majority of individuals (excluding business owners), a combination of homes and vehicle policies with an umbrella policy should be seen as the very minimum. However, if you were able to anticipate all of the unforeseen costs, they would no longer be considered unexpected, correct? To optimise your situation, it is advisable to use the resources available to you. This includes basic measures such as maintaining a financial safety net, as well as more intricate strategies like engaging in estate planning and finding ways to mitigate inheritance taxes. The positive information is that there are several attorneys that are anxiously anticipating your call in order to assist you with the latter matter. 🙂
  15. I instructed the individuals responsible for applying the paint protection film (ppf) to use the pens, but I am unaware of the specific actions they took. Are you implying that if the paint pens are executed properly, they would exhibit strong durability and functionality, even when subjected to thorough washing?
  16. The Audi paint pens are not very effective when used in automatic vehicle washes. The paint pen I applied to my car's hood had a duration of around one week before it deteriorated. I am uncertain about the distinctions between callipers. However, your chip seems to be little, and I would just disregard it. There are more pressing issues to spend attention towards.
  17. If the battery has a low charge, for example, due to not being driven for a long or being unplugged, it may need a significant drive before the button indicating its status would illuminate. Typically, an engine restart is necessary, followed by more charging, in order for the eco indicator to turn green.
  18. I have not personally, but three acquaintances of mine have. They informed me that they were all pleased with their acquisitions … However, none of them showed any interest in automobiles and were likely not concerned about the specifications or condition. They just wanted a convenient and problem-free purchase and delivery, without being concerned about discounts or prices.
  19. This page offers insightful armchair suggestions and diagnoses. Additionally, it provides a remarkable dongle and app that can be used in situations similar to the one affecting the original poster's car. We express our profound gratitude to 'Maxaret' for sharing that valuable piece of information. (I genuinely appreciate all the helpful information provided by the respondents, without any hint of sarcasm in my remarks.) With 80,000 miles on the odometer, the 2.0 litre diesel engine should be adequately broken in and still have a significant amount of life remaining. Therefore, it is definitely worth investigating the root cause of the issue. There are a few cost-effective solutions available if the original poster is fortunate, but the most unfavourable outcome would be excessively costly at any automotive repair shop. demonstrates the potential outcomes that can be attained (albeit at a significant expense, I presume) in an older vehicle. However, with some fortune, the original poster (OP) might be able to resolve the issue at a lower cost compared to what I would estimate the Peugeot repair entailed. Excellent content for a car forum!
  20. I will also be going in for servicing this coming Friday. As this is just my second service, I am unaware of the items on the agenda. However, I am particularly excited about the presence of an attractive Ukrainian woman employed in the service department, which will undoubtedly be a highlight for me.
  21. If I were to disclose to my wife the exact amount of money I spend on motorcars, there is a possibility that I may be demoted to using a push-bike as my mode of transportation. When a Cathay Pacific passenger takes off, the retractable wheels that she like are lifted off the runway. I am now residing in London as we converse. "Perspective" calculated the expenses over 20 years ago to demonstrate that operating an Acura Integra in Hong Kong incurred a total cost of USD 58,000 per year, with the majority of the expenses being attributed to the required parking space near her residence. Singapore remains more expensive. Hong Kong does not suffer from a "traffic problem". Our "MTR" ensures that. As a show of their prestige, they use immobilised Benz vehicles instead of asphalt to pave their roadways.
  22. Identify and emphasise each of the description/part numbers that @Matt865 just posted. Contextual menu: "Perform a Google search for.." Discover the "the usual suspects" and get a comprehensive list of them at affordable costs, in contrast to the expenses involved in constructing your own from a basic workbench. However, the cost is still high enough that it seems worthwhile to reattach everything that can be easily reattached in order to save money. Installing new ones also involves substantial work, since it requires removing the old ones and thoroughly cleaning the mounting location. Two clockwise rotations
