For kicks, I wanted to know what the EV3 motor voltage was, so I asked Gemini AI. Based on its findings, we may deduce the following: "The traction battery of the Kia EV3 Air Long Range (81.4 kWh) runs on a 400V architecture with the following particular voltage specifications:“ Voltage Nominal: 343 V Battery Setup: 279 individual cells Maximum Charging Power: 128 kilowatts Essential Battery Details in a Snap Characteristics Detailing The battery has a gross capacity of 81.4 kWh. We can use 78.0 kWh of battery power. Voltage at DC Node343 V The number of cells is 279 The chemical sciencesNMC, or lithium-ion, Measuring 470 kg The EV3 uses a 400V variant of the E-GMP platform, in contrast to its bigger brothers that use a high-end 800V system, such as the EV6 and EV9. Because of this, the automobile may be kept at a more reasonable price while yet being able to charge from 10% to 80% in around 31 minutes using a suitable quick charger. Would you want me to compare this model to the Standard Range or investigate how long it takes to charge it at home?

Engines utilise oil. Consequently, a system exists for monitoring the level.

It is reasonable to assume that a rear wiper would have been included.

New automobile? 318i or 318d? Or incinerate my funds?

A BMW 320d is not a prudent choice within your budget, as it will likely have high mileage and the timing chains are prone to wear, which could consume over half your budget for a replacement. Additionally, various other components are likely to fail, not potentially, but certainly. If you do not possess at least three times the vehicle's cost in savings, it is advisable to refrain from purchasing unless you are exceptionally skilled in automotive repair. Issues may arise with injectors, harmoni -
This is not my engine.

N52 325i Low Oil Indicator (maximum oil level)

It seems that your level sensor is malfunctioning. Was the yellow light an oil can with a wavy line underneath it? -
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!

Divest from electric vehicles and revert to diesel?
bvlenci replied to bvlenci's topic in General Discussions
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 -
Divest from electric vehicles and revert to diesel?
bvlenci replied to bvlenci's topic in General Discussions
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. -
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

Thank you, friend.I will verify immediately.

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.

I sent the image.I may resend it.Thank you.

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.

Thank you for your response; nevertheless, I believe the issue is more to the silver deteriorating.

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.

Thank you; I shall verify, however I am rather certain it is located within, like condensation.

The lights are installed appropriately, and I agree that new ones are somewhat costly. I am seeking a more economical alternative.

I am experiencing an issue with the headlights on my 2010 Mercedes 250 Coupe. When the headlights are on high beam, they seem to scatter erratically rather than illuminating the road ahead. It is likely that the reflective coating inside the units has sustained damage or corrosion. Is there anybody who can provide the accurate component number for replacement lights? It seems that the Saloon has a distinct lighting system compared to my Coupe. Any guidance would be very beneficial. Thank you.

via the service history, of course. When purchasing a secondhand automobile, I consistently verify the service history. Proceed to the service area with the proprietor and request it. The repair would be conducted in the official MB service centre and documented accordingly. If it were performed at a different repair facility, you would remain unaware.
