  1. I fully concur; one must be much more vigilant when operating the CX60, since I often disable several features upon entering the vehicle. My wife has a ten-year-old Mazda 3, which is enjoyable to drive devoid of excessive safety features. Nevertheless, I believe the CX-60 offers a very pleasant experience for extended excursions.
  2. What about thickness ? These are too thick.
  3. Occasionally, it is due to previous owners altering the callipers. Original components from Mercedes will not be compatible.
  4. The brake light switch seems to be functioning well, since the brake lights are operating properly.
  5. Greetings, everyone. I am experiencing an issue with a locked automatic shifter. The vehicle is immobilised in park, and the shift lock release is inoperative. Captiva 2017. All suggestions are welcome.
  6. Notably, the problem only manifests while the Torque application is active; it does not occur when no applications are running. Therefore, it seems that the issue is not with the adapter itself, but rather with the Torque app causing some disruption.
  7. I have purchased an alternative from Amazon and will observe whether it performs differently.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Indeed, it is only the downward stroke that generates the necessary force to propel the piston outward.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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?
  20. 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/
  21. 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
