  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.
  13. Thank you; I shall verify, however I am rather certain it is located within, like condensation.
  14. The lights are installed appropriately, and I agree that new ones are somewhat costly. I am seeking a more economical alternative.
  15. 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.
  16. Indeed, they would not substitute a screw without documenting it.
  17. 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.
  18. Thank you for your reply. Indeed, I possess the benefit of a warranty; but, any repairs or replacements of the gearbox in a new vehicle lead to a substantial depreciation in value in my nation. I would categorically refuse any repair or replacement for the gearbox. I would only consider software modifications or maybe chip replacements. If they are unable to rectify the issue without component repairs or replacements, I will be compelled to legally request a new vehicle. Unless they provide me with the same outcome without resorting to legal action, I believe I am entitled to it, as advised by my lawyer buddy who also recommended this course of action. We shall see the outcome. I will inform you on the developments and how Mercedes is managing or failing to manage the problem.
  19. Greetings, everyone. I seem to be experiencing a significant gearbox issue with my 'brand new' w214 e220d 4matic. Just before to the vehicle coming to a halt, the whole automobile trembles. Occasionally gently, at other times more forcefully. The intensity of the tremors fluctuates. I see that it is mostly more pronounced downhill. To see this behaviour, the vehicle must transition from second gear to first gear and then come to a complete stop. Gradually.. They performed some "adaptation" and "coding" for the transmission and instructed me to drive for a while and return it if the problem continues. And consider this. It does indeed. They have been attempting to resolve the issue for two weeks. Unsuccessful. This is something you cannot comprehend if the start/stop function is enabled. Have you encountered anything of this nature? The service personnel assert that they did not. It is very aggravating and upsetting to see such an inaccuracy in a "flagship" Mercedes. My prior five series never shown such behaviour. 😞
  20. You will get a TC, and I will obtain 10 litres of ATF. You are familiar with the procedure to follow, and the oil must be pumped in. The only reason for my inquiry is that many occasionally assume the method is same to that of 5G, where oil may be added, and once emptied, one may find themselves incapacitated without a pump. I would purchase a kit, which generally includes a new overflow tube.
  21. Thank you; I believe I will await their findings and concur that they are unlikely to accommodate original equipment components.
  22. This is the first AMG from an M5 enthusiast, and it will not be the last.
