  1. I have purchased an alternative from Amazon and will observe whether it performs differently.
  2. Greetings everyone, Connecting or leaving my ODB2 reader (generic Bluetooth adapter) results in an error/warning on the dashboard stating "Mercedes Me services limited." It seems to create no more problems; nonetheless, I am curious about the reason for this occurrence, since I want to maintain the connection to an application I own (the application just reads, without writing). In previous vehicles, I have been able to maintain a connection without any consequences. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.
  3. Organised. I may have first added an excessive amount of oil, causing the sensor to register a high reading. Consequently, I removed what may have been an excessive quantity, resulting in a low level on the dipstick; nonetheless, the iDrive system still displayed an excess amount. There is a delay in the iDrive synchronisation. I used the dipstick measurement and added additional fluid till it indicated an appropriate level. After driving for thirty minutes, the iDrive system is functioning properly presently.
  4. I added a minimum of 6 litres and additional quantity. The dipstick indicated a near-full level. Upon driving, the iDrive system showed an excess of oil; thus, I extracted some oil, bringing the level to normal. However, after a brief drive, the level returned to maximum, but the dipstick displayed no oil. I parked and checked the dipstick this morning; it was at the minimum mark. I added around 0.75 litres, and it is now above the minimum line, about one-third of the way between the minimum and maximum levels on the dipstick. In this circumstance, I rely on the dipstick; should I add a little extra fluid? the dipstick is firmly and securely pressed down
  5. Affirmative. Adjacent to the rear passenger door of the vehicle, there exists an aperture. I opened the flap, unscrewed the cap, and poured the oil in, which entered without any complications.
  6. I performed an oil and filter change yesterday, and today the iDrive indicated that the oil level was too high; however, the dipstick shows no oil level. The dipstick indicates no oil, although the gauge displays an excessively high reading. Everything was OK after the oil change yesterday. No oil is seeping anywhere. Even if there is a defective sensor, my dipstick should still indicate the presence of oil. I will examine the filter later today and inspect the dipstick. Does anybody have any recommendations? Thank you in advance.
  7. In my own opinion, I find the Coupe to be aesthetically superior than the Spyder, mostly due to the inclusion of a glass engine window that allows for a clear view of the V10 engine. They illuminated the engine bay to enhance visibility at nighttime. The Spyder engine remains concealed until the hood is opened. Spyder's limited headroom when the top is closed may be a concern for anybody taller than 6 feet.
  8. Indeed, it is only the downward stroke that generates the necessary force to propel the piston outward.
  9. It will not, just have someone apply gentle pressure to the brake and see the piston extending outward. To be honest, they are around 1.75 inches in length. You simply need to extend it by around 20mm.
  10. Elevate the vehicle, rotate the wheels. Observe if the rear brake discs exhibit uneven temperature distribution on one side of the vehicle after a drive with little braking.
  11. As mentioned by @TDud ette, it is a really practical approach - I have acquired a considerable number of winter tires using this method over the years. It is important to note that winter tires begin to lose their effectiveness once the tread depth reaches 4mm. Many people choose to sell their tires at this point. Therefore, it is not advisable to spend a significant amount of money on 4mm winter tires, as they may not have much usable life remaining. I agree with the concerns about the date code, and it is important to ensure that the product remains within a timeframe of less than 10 years.
  12. Indeed, they are two distinct colours that were offered in 2012, correct? Is it possible for the automobile to have both Suzuka Grey and Ice Silver colours? I am attempting to ascertain its identity.
  13. The ad indicates that the colour is "Suzuka Grey Metallic/Ice Silver," nevertheless, it seems to be silver in my observation. I believe the object is covered with a matte wrap, which might be altering its colour to some extent. Could someone please determine the precise colour of this automobile based on either the VIN or the pictures?
  14. I have been searching for a 2012 R8 GT to acquire, with the intention of subsequently doing a manual conversion on it. However, this particular one is causing me confusion: https://www.phofnash.com/inventory/used-2012-audi-r8-gt-5-2-fsi-quattro-2d-coupe-wua9nafg3cn900310/
  15. Hi all, I used to have some problems with exhaust system on my R8, but my mechanic made some changes on the car's system and everything is quite good now . Thanks
  16. A few years ago, I embarked on the same journey with my motorcycle. Since I did not see any R8 vehicles, it may be inferred that we own a unique and distinctive automobile.
  17. Affirmative, I get that. Subsequent automobiles include a camera, often in combination with the satellite navigation system.
  18. Modern devices equipped with integrated SIM cards need more frequent use, since the SIM card has the tendency to enter a dormant state, and this is the method to reactivate it.
  19. Based on online research, it seems that Sachs is the manufacturer of the original products. I will do more online research to see whether I can validate...
  20. Unfortunate events occur. I own another W212 vehicle equipped with its factory-installed shock absorbers and springs, which have not been replaced, and it has accumulated a mileage of 181,000.
  21. Greetings, A 2010 E350 vehicle with a mileage of 50,000. I believe that one of the front springs has fractured, and I am uncertain about the cause or mechanism behind it. Has anybody replaced them with Bilstein or Sachs springs, or did you choose to use Mercedes-Benz springs? There is a price difference of almost two times. The cost of a pair of Bilsteins is £100, including delivery via AUTODOC. The price for a pair of Sachs is £109 via Carparts4less, which is essentially an online-only site for Euro Car Parts. The cost for a pair of MB is £232 from a local dealer, but may be obtained for £214 through Mercedes Newcastle on eBay. Undoubtedly, MB is the least certain to give rise to complications, and I am inclined towards that option. However, I am curious whether the originals are only relabeled Bilsteins/Sachs?
  22. It is likely that we have all come across individuals of such kind in the past. My approach is to just go on; it is their disadvantage and there are plenty others who are worth interacting with.
