  1. I assert that the interiors of the GT Line and GT Line S are identical, yet the air quality differs. Exercise caution while viewing YouTube videos on EV3 from Asia, North America, or Ireland, since they may exhibit differing specifications, trimmings, or colours compared to those available in this country. I saw an Irish GT Line with a sunroof; however, this option is only available on the GT Line S in Britain.
  2. Single turbo with changeable geometry; 2011 predates the use of dual power. I believe that did not appear till the F series vehicles. They remain a single turbo; however, the exhaust casing is uniquely designed with two internal channels to enhance efficiency.
  3. Thank you for the counsel. I will arrange for it to be hired at a location. A buddy has a TOPDON ArtiDiag EU code scanner, but I am uncertain whether it will be capable of reading any codes.
  4. The Icarsoft. I was examining one of them moments ago.
  5. The mileage is 95,000. The previous gearbox service date is unknown; nevertheless, the vehicle had servicing two years before. The computerised service record displays no information whatsoever.
  6. I own a 2013 Mercedes-Benz E250 CDI AMG Sport Coupe. I have not had it for an extended period, nevertheless I have encountered a problem since acquiring it. Initially, I suspected the vehicle was misfiring; however, it idles flawlessly and maintains any RPM without difficulty. I am uncertain about the underload, but I suspect the problem lies in the automatic gearbox. While driving, the vehicle exhibits a sensation of misfiring, indicating an unhappy engine, as shown by fluctuations in the rev counter of a few hundred RPMs. The sensation resembles the gearbox attempting several gears. The gearbox display remains fixed on D3, D4, D5, or the appropriate gear, without indicating any transitions. The problem is more pronounced in E driving mode, somewhat improved in S mode, and somewhat alleviated although still present in manual mode. I am enquiring whether anybody has already had a similar experience. No dashboard lights are illuminated; the vehicle starts without issue, and all other functions operate well save for this. It is more noticeable when driving on the dual carriageway, less so in urban areas; yet, it is clearly perceptible whilst cruising.
  7. My 2024 model is now on its first tank, having travelled 400 miles on the odometer; I will refuel this week. The average I see is 46.3. Thus, fresh and tight is not guaranteed. I am 85% urban across the 400 miles. I operate my vehicle with great caution. I registered at Fuely, where one may see a wide array of drivers and experiences. Ensure you narrow it down to '24 or, at the very least, '24 and '23. I see no justification for anybody to achieve less than 42 in mixed life.
  8. When I replaced the wheel bearings on my 640d, I did not need to loosen the pinch bolt. To access the bolts located at the rear of the hub, it is necessary to detach a lower ball joint from one of the arms. However, I am uncertain about the specific model of your device. As Johnny suggests, apply a generous amount of penetrant and allow it to soak. Greetings
  9. Indeed, this is Suzuka Grey. The interplay between light and colour is evident.
  10. It seems that they lack the necessary coding skills to properly programme the automobile. I recently visited a garage where a BMW had a similar coding problem after the FEM (Front Electronic Module) was changed. The individual responsible for installing FEM and programming it lacked knowledge, resulting in the need for it to be taken to the garage where I was located. It was subsequently programmed without any difficulty by a competent individual.
  11. You are likely correct, my friend. The wheel will be replaced since it is still bent. You are lucky that you were able to resolve the majority of the problems alone!
  12. Although I am not a technician,... Travelling at a speed of 60 miles per hour and experiencing vibration indicates that the wheels may need balance. Was the alloy not balanced after it was repaired? I recommend bringing it to a mechanic and requesting them to do a minimal level of testing.
  13. Cannot make a mistake. There is a specific rationale. Why have all schools and workplaces used them from time immemorial.
  14. I have just installed a new battery, crankshaft pulley, and alternator. Since I acquired the vehicle, it has consistently produced a noise when the bonnet is open and while I am refilling the windscreen reservoir. However, recently I have observed that the noise persists for a much longer duration after I have turned off the car.
  15. Greetings, friend. The object undergoes a sweeping motion, transitioning from one position to another, and then returning to its initial position, with a duration of around 1-2 seconds. The noise produced is of a high frequency on both occasions. This sequence occurs at a frequency of about once every 25-30 seconds.
  16. The switch located below the hood on the left side of the engine block continues to function even after I have shut off the automobile. Can someone identify the specific component in question and determine if it should continue to function? The movement of the object produces a shrill or high-pitched sound. Thank you in advance.
  17. Uncertain whether anybody has already shared this information, but soon there will be no default option for paper copies of the MOT. It will go paperless. It seems that there is an option to pay for obtaining the documents, or alternatively, one may just print them from the website that we often use to review historical information. This brings us closer to the day when the practice of organising documentation in ring binders will become obsolete. Revision - Reminder to verify the spelling of the title before to clicking the button.
  18. The route over the Pyrenees leading to the town of Isaba unquestionably ranks among my top three choices for scenic drives. During your visit, you will get the opportunity to see untamed equines, admire the Pyrenees as a formidable mountain range, and experience thrilling drives including challenging curves that pose no threat to safety. I reviewed it on my w210 vehicle few years ago. Undoubtedly, this route is exceptional for driving, particularly when compared to the monotonous ones in Les Landes.
  19. In the 90's and early 2000's, the Subaru scene was quite popular. However, about 2010, it began to decline. By this time, Litchfield, a company, had shifted their emphasis more into the GTR, which was released in 2008. I seldom see any discussions or posts about Litchfield on the forums that I often visit.
  20. Litchfield Imports established a significant presence in the Subaru Impreza community. The Lichfield type 20 and type 25 were developed from the Japanese import Impreza STI, namely the blobeye and subsequently the Hawkeye models. These modifications were done in collaboration with Cosworth, resulting in the creation of the MK2 Type 25. They received extensive coverage in publications such as EVO magazine and achieved many victories in the time attack series, earning different awards. Upon the release of the Nissan GTR, they used their expertise and experience to further enhance its performance via tuning, achieving remarkable results. Ultimately, the Japanese automobile scene declined and they transitioned to the German car scene. On numerous forums, I have seen posts where individuals have collaborated with manufacturers to design and enhance suspension systems, exhaust systems, and other components for a wide range of automobile makes and models. They possess a profound understanding of the subject matter. Nevertheless, I would still consider MSL and GAD exclusively, since they are highly recommended among the Mercedes community, especially on this platform. While Litchfield may provide a satisfactory map and service, I would recommend going to MSL, since it is just 30 minutes farther and is the preferred choice among the majority of people.
  21. In 1997, when MB removed the 300CE-24 from my vehicle, they used heat and then utilised a grinder, as you correctly said. I was astonished, but everything is now in order.
  22. It is advisable to have the oil changed if you are uncertain about the last time it was done. You will likely see a noticeable improvement if the oil is extremely old, especially the gearbox oil. However, frequent oil changes are not necessary, and it is incorrect to claim that the oil lasts a lifetime.
