  1. It can be the ECU connection(s). A live function test might reveal its operational status. Indeed, Star is capable of doing that. If not, some diagnostic tools may detect an open cct problem.
  2. For what it's worth, my brother bought a Mercedes GLC 220d from them last year. The funny thing is none of us believed it was real at first because the price looked too good. We spent two evenings searching reviews and checking Companies House before he committed. Vehicle arrived nine days later. No horror story, thankfully.
  3. Mine was functioning when I parked the car, but it has since stopped responding, so I'm hoping it's not the vp44. When I think back on this difficulty from many years ago, I recall that we had to tow the automobile in order to start it, but I believe that was due to the fact that we didn't have alternative methods. For some reason, the only thing that comes to mind is to give it a quick spray of brake cleaner or easy star for a couple of seconds.
  4. The phrase "left bank, drivers side" provides a hint that it is describing a vehicle with the left-hand drive. Regardless of the driver's seat, the cylinder numbers remains same
  5. For the high pressure needed by the SBC, isn't it the pressure reservoir or accumulator?
  6. Surely that plays a pivotal role in the engine's performance?
  7. My car doesn't seem to have turbo, and I received a fault on the diagnostic, so I wanted to get everyone's opinions. I have a 28EC00 code for the pressure sensor, which means the sensor is missing from the metal pipe. The tuner installed the bolt, but I didn't pay attention to it.By the way, I removed the dpf, EGR, swirl flaps, and stage 1 from my car as well. However, the only part that still gave me trouble was the pressure sensor. I'd be grateful for any advice you could provide me.
  8. What kind of protection does the addition of pig tails provide against oil seepage up the wiring looms?
  9. Sport+ makes them slightly more aggressive. In my opinion, the most useless setting for regular on-road driving a 2.0 diesel. Due to its exorbitant price, no one ever uses it.
  10. I acquired my Kia Sportage GT-Line S HEV two weeks ago. Upon collecting the vehicle, the sales representative was unaware of the procedure to erase the previous owner from the automobile or the Kia app. Instructed to reach out to Kia UK. I have accomplished that.I attempted to disconnect driver 1 from the display, resulting in the car becoming inoperative (all systems off). I am now apprehensive that if I attempt to remove it from the vehicle and Kia Connect, the car would cease to function. I will contact the Kia dealership to request resolution of the issue. I am currently unable to establish a car account. Any guidance is appreciated, please.
  11. For my S212, I opted for a screen from Icebox Auto. Though it took me three hours to install, I am satisfied with how it communicates with the rest of the car's features, especially the parking sensors. I now have the option to use either the car's original NTG4.0 system maps, Waze installed independently on the new screen, or Google Maps when I connect it to my phone using Android Auto for sat nav. A replacement screen measuring 10.25" mounted on a custom frame was installed in lieu of the original, and it blends in seamlessly. I've got FM radio and CD on the old menu, DAB and music via SD and USB sticks on the new screen menu, and Spotify and Internet Radio through Android Auto. It's easy to go back to the traditional functionality. It cost around £500, which is more than the Temu and AliBaba deals but far less than the most expensive alternatives.
  12. Press down on the brake pedal just enough, like you would at the start of applying the brakes, and hold yourself in place by pressing a stick into the seat or the wheel. The reservoir will no longer drain if that is done. Not in time for this task, but that's the way it's done in the future.
