  1. Left side of the engine, positioned towards the front when viewed from the front.
  2. It seems that your level sensor is malfunctioning. Was the yellow light an oil can with a wavy line underneath it?
  3. I own a 1.0-liter naturally aspirated Kia Picanto equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission. The vehicle lacks a tachometer, which sometimes complicates the determination of optimal gear shifts. The dashboard has a gear change indication; nonetheless, it seems to prompt for a shift prematurely, a belief I have consistently held. I see that when I shift gears at these speeds, the engine operates optimally under typical circumstances (flat, straight terrain). 0 - 20 miles per hour in first gear 10 - 35 second gear ratio 35-60 third gear 55-80 miles per hour in fourth gear Seventy... fifth gear The first number is the minimum speed I maintain in that gear, while the subsequent number indicates when I typically shift gears to optimize fuel efficiency. Accelerating too quickly results in engine vibrations, indicating it is under strain.However, I have received information from several sources indicating that the Picanto's engine often emits a sound reminiscent of impending stalling due to its three-cylinder configuration and its loud, poorly insulated design. This leads me to ponder if the engine rpm may be higher than I first perceive. May I shift gears sooner? What are the approximate speeds and revolutions I am achieving when shifting at my present rates? Thank you in advance!
  4. Thank you for your response. I prefer the X5 over another X3; nevertheless, I recently seen a YouTube video on the X5 45e 3.0 petrol with a plug-in hybrid configuration, which fulfills several criteria, offering a range sufficient for my daily commute on battery power. really alluring
  5. Thank you for your response. Your assertions closely align with my own views, and I believe you have accurately identified the crux of the matter. Electric vehicles (EVs) are efficient and economical to operate; yet, they may lack emotional engagement. You are indeed true that EVs will persist long after I have satisfied my need for another diesel SUV. Life is undeniably brief, and I have lately had a health crisis, underscoring the uncertainty of the future. Thank you for reflecting my views and assisting me in reaching a conclusion.
  6. As indicated in the headline, I sold my X3 30d last year and purchased an electric vehicle, which has proven to be an excellent automobile, fulfilling all my requirements, including long-distance travel without complications. This experience has been further enhanced by the present provision of free charging at my workplace, although this will soon transition to a pay-as-you-go system. I am conflicted since I much miss the pleasure of driving a large diesel SUV. I often examine available X5 30d models and am contemplating selling my electric vehicle to get another diesel. A portion of me believes I may have remorse; I am not a high-mileage driver, doing just three or four lengthy drives annually, therefore I cannot rationalize it in that manner. Nevertheless, it is an urge I feel compelled to satisfy. My partner believes I am irrational, although she has also said that I am free to pursue my desires, which is reassuring as I have her approval for my choices. Has anybody undertaken a comparable experience, and if so, do you have any regrets? I would want to clarify that I do not wish for this to devolve into a post disparaging electric vehicles. I like my EV and am only seeking advise from those who have had an EV and have had similar experiences. Thank you
  7. Thank you, friend.I will verify immediately.
  8. This is likely emanating from the upper corner of my lower timing chain cover, where the technician failed to seal it correctly during the repair.I will examine it this weekend to see whether I can apply silicone on top without removing the cover.Could you perhaps provide suggestions for an adhesive I may utilise?only a little leak.
  9. I sent the image.I may resend it.Thank you.
  10. Greetings everyone, I hope you are all well.Please help in identifying the name or number of this component on my 2012 W204 C180.Similar to an engine block plug, it seems that I have an oil leak in this vicinity. not from the apex.Thank you.
  11. Thank you for your response; nevertheless, I believe the issue is more to the silver deteriorating.
  12. Indeed, I have been examining that, but the saloon lights are incompatible with the coupe. They are difficult to locate, therefore I believe I must exercise patience.
