  2. Another viable alternative that has had positive results for me in the past is Mr12volt. It conveniently connects to the MOST ring and provides track data upon request, in addition to including a built-in microphone for phone conversations.
  3. Perhaps for the sake of uniqueness, I am encountering an issue with the presence of orange plastic on my vehicles. However, my ALFA, from its inception, does not own any of this material.Personally, I believe that the appearance is much enhanced by the use of white or transparent ones. It is unfortunate that he did not coordinate the side repeaters with them.
  4. I believe there is a flaw in the system. The tests for my wife's 2005 A class vehicle are all shown, as you said. However, the tests for my 2010 pickup truck, which we have had since it was new, only appear from 2015 forward. The years 2013 and 2014 are curiously absent. My previous CLK model only displayed the more recent ones as well, but this time it started from 2010. The vehicle itself was from 2002, therefore the first test was conducted in 2005. Well. Regardless, BOT, that is a wonderful automobile.In my opinion, they seem aesthetically pleasing when paired with contemporary wheels. There is a black vehicle in this area that has had its badges removed, but it does not have the sound characteristic of a Mercedes 560. It is equipped with Mercedes 507 style replica wheels, and its appearance is impressive. In my opinion, the valuation for the item mentioned in post 1 seems to be inflated given the present market conditions. However, it is worth noting that if there are just two potential buyers who express interest in acquiring it, the final selling price may differ. just time will tell.
  5. The majority of automobiles do not have any digital MOT records prior to 2015. However, my car does not have any digital records, although it has definitely had MOT inspections since 2012. It is typical.To be frank, I find it astonishing that the automobile has just one display dating back to 2005.
  6. I successfully evaded punishment for committing a homicide. They should have been incarcerated for the last two decades. I am astonished that he was found not guilty.
  7. This elucidates the reason for the automatic shutdown of the engine in both incidents. Thank you.
  8. Thank you for your focus. Next week, I will transport the automobile to the garage. Considering that the engine abruptly stopped functioning on its own within a short period of time during both incidents, I am questioning if the engine really had a seizure. Due to the absence of a charging mechanism, I attempted to start the engine today using a depleted battery in order to ascertain whether the crankshaft would rotate. I saw the belt rotating around 45 degrees with each ignition, followed by a halt, indicating that it is not jammed. If the belt is able to spin, would this imply that the engine is not seized?
  9. I appreciate your response. Following a second instance of the automobile running away, it is now unable to start. When trying to start, the screen becomes black, most likely because there is not enough electricity. Additionally, the starting motor has difficulty rotating the engine, causing it to spin slowly and in an uneven manner. This seems to be an unfavourable indication. Upon inspecting the oil dipstick, I saw that the oil level remains unchanged, and there are no discernible traces of metallic debris. Upon removing the oil cap, there was no visible signs of damage or deterioration. Is it possible for a runaway to cause engine damage? Does a broken turbo oil seal need a turbo repair or a full turbo replacement? Appreciation is extended.
  10. Error code: P029900 (Low boost pressure in Turbo 1) The P228100 code indicates a leak occurring between the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor and the throttle. The turbo waste gate of P22C872 is stuck in the open position and is not closing. On the first day, when I was driving, I observed a consistent rattling sound along with a decrease in power during acceleration, which was then followed by a restoration of power at higher RPMs. Over time, attaining high revolutions per minute (RPMs) became progressively more challenging, and the act of manually changing to a lower gear was no longer feasible. After coming to a halt, I identified the origin of the rattling sound as the left side of the engine (specifically, the turbo), while the engine itself was operating nicely. The OBD diagnostics detected fault codes associated with problems in the intake and turbo valves, namely the waste gate. 1. Identified a pressure leak between the throttle valve and MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor. The turbo valve is jammed. Despite resetting the error codes, the issue continued, with intermittent fluctuations in boost, ranging from normal to completely missing. While operating a vehicle, I saw the data flow of the waste gate opening, which consistently stayed at about 50% independent of the throttle input (5% when the engine is not running). On the second day, I had turbo lag at high RPMs. This means that there was a delay in the engine's response after I released the throttle pedal, with the engine still receiving throttle input for 0.5 seconds. Alarmed, I applied a rapid increase in throttle while not moving, resulting in the engine accelerating without restraint. I had to deactivate the engine by extracting the key. Nevertheless, successive attempts to initiate the engine were unsuccessful at first, since the starter was operational but the engine refused to start. After around 10 tries, the engine successfully ignited but released blue smoke from the exhaust. The throttle input at low levels was within the expected range, but, as the engine reached 3,000 revolutions per minute, it suddenly and unexpectedly accelerated without any control. Despite the removal of the key, the engine persisted in running at maximum capacity for around 5 seconds before coming to a halt. I am now apprehensive about making another effort. At first, I had a suspicion that a waste gate was jammed, resulting in a loss of turbo pressure. Nevertheless, the appearance of substantial blue smoke and unmanageable engine RPMs has caused me great concern. Has anybody had such situations previously? Thank you.
  11. The object referred to as the 'grinder' is most likely a toffee wheel. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adhesive-Remover-Graphics-diameter-threaded/dp/B09KH9Y678
  12. In order to get a professional outcome, it is necessary to use professional-grade equipment. At the absolute least, one should consider using Makita or, preferably, Milwaukee tools.
  13. The reason for my action was just that. As someone employed in the automotive industry, I have seen several instances of contaminated intake manifolds and swirl valves due to the combination of the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system and the presence of oily vapours from the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system.
  14. I deactivated it in the Engine Control Unit (ECU), but he informed me that a little quantity of petrol may still get through. Therefore, I installed a blanking plate.
  15. I believe that the auxiliary connector was removed in R230 SL models from 2004. Contact Commandonline.co.uk to get the most optimal choice for retrofitting.
  16. Drilling is necessary since welding is not a viable alternative. During my last visit, all the little plants received a powerful dose of copper slip.
  17. Have the drain tubes located under the wind screen wipers been inspected? If the water is obstructed, it will seep inside the cabin.
  18. It is advisable to maintain the air conditioning system in automatic mode throughout both summer and winter. MBs have a preference for long excursions, since they need a sufficient distance to recharge their battery. Purchase a smart charger, such as the MX5 or a comparable model.
  19. If you have ISTA, reconnect it and proceed with the test plan before checking the wiring.
  20. If the jbe detects malfunctioning sensors, it will off the power. Assess the continuity between the jbe and sensors, and inspect for short circuits by disconnecting both ends.
  21. The item is in pristine condition and has only been used for a few months.
  22. If I get a respite from the rain tomorrow, I will proceed to disassemble it.
  23. It is unfortunate that the excellent performance of my bathroom fittings and shower screens at 70mph will not be used. However, I can take solace in the fact that I now own the most effective water-repelling fixtures in my neighbourhood.
  24. The performance of the vehicle is exceptional at speeds beyond 60mph. However, at lower speeds, the wipers are necessary and they exhibit excessive juddering. Can AG glass polish effectively remove the previously applied coat?
