  1. May I inquire with members who have influenced both their perspectives? Initially, I was inclined towards selecting the Yaris Cross, but I am now inclined towards the C-HR due to its larger size, although not excessively so. There is a scarcity of parking facilities in my locality. While there are other variants that exhibit somewhat more width and height in comparison to the Yaris, my personal preference is with the C-HR.
  2. Without complete information, it is difficult to provide a definitive answer. However, I must admit that I have limited knowledge about the R8GT. It is worth noting that all R8 LMS cars are equipped with gearbox coolers for their sequentials. Additionally, in early 2010, there was a cooling redesign for the LMS cars due to elevated engine and gearbox temperatures. R-tronic has superior heat dissipation compared to S-Tronic. Additional air ducting or air flow adjustment might have been included in the R8GT. The Z06 engine operated at temperatures of 305°F oil, 235°F water and 270°F gearbox (manual) on days with a temperature of 75°C at Virginia International Raceway. Among these temperatures, the gearbox was the only one that caused significant difficulties. The automobile was anticipated to reach the specified temperatures for the oil and water, which, to be honest, is not very favourable given that the majority of the additives in the oil are cooked beyond that point. Chevrolet's first introduction of the 7th generation Corvette was marred by a significant error. It was believed that a group of experienced individuals would purchase them for the purpose of embarking on a weekend excursion. Prior to the occurrence of several lawsuits, there was a significant number of individuals who purchased these vehicles, particularly Corvettes, with the intention of driving them to high speeds. By the conclusion of their 2019 run, the plant had implemented a fully revamped and enhanced cooling system.
  3. The primary reason I see is that owners do not exert significant effort while driving the automobiles, rendering it futile. While there may be some validity to such claim, the reasoning lacks coherence. Why purchase a vehicle with front/rear SLA if the automobile's only function is to go in a straight line? The management of cooling systems poses significant challenges and incurs substantial costs within the realm of research and development. Due to inadequate underbody airflow, the designers determined that it was imperative to include a cooler in order to cool the gearbox. The VW group would likely see a significant issue with superfluous oil coolers. Do you sometimes overheat the gearbox when driving to car meets? However, it seems that you are impeding the car's performance. If you ever drive the vehicle on the track or in really hot weather, it will quickly become evident. I have already seen gearbox temperatures over 270°F on the track, which are both unpleasant and unmanageable without adequate cooling.
  4. Simply adhere to the indicated deadline as stated on the dash menu.
  5. In my opinion, authentic Motul products should be of high quality. The use of 5w instead of 10w is not a significant issue; it just indicates that the oil is formulated to function well at a broader temperature range.
  6. Greetings Audi recommends using 5W30 oil for the purpose of ensuring long-term durability. You have the option to use the 5W40 oil with a consistent interval and it is recommended that you adhere to this schedule. There should be no issues given they own 11.5 litres of oil for their V8 engine.
  7. Have you contemplated the possibility of leaving the vehicle unlocked? Does it not have an auto-lock feature? My device does have that limitation. However, I believe there is a method to circumvent it. Would you want to enable the 'tow away' function? Is that a viable option?
  8. Please provide information about the plug types utilised in this engine.
  9. Which plugs did you install? They dislike elaborate plugs.Have you also inspected for hoover leaks? Leaking pipes or tiny bore tubes must not leak under vacuum conditions.Clean all the fuses and inspect the battery terminals for cleanliness and tightness. Clean and lubricate the Earth points, then reinstall them.Additionally, it is recommended to clean the idle air control valve thoroughly with carburetor cleaner. I fill mine with the cleaner and let it set overnight. This is the location of the intracranial volume (ICV).
  10. Impressive! I would want a detailed breakdown of all the changes you have made to the car, including engine upgrades, weight reduction measures, and additions both inside and externally. I am seeking inspiration from your innovative approach to pushing the boundaries of what is achievable with gen1 vehicles.
  11. I have not needed to use heat since I began using it years ago, even when I assumed I would have to. Continue dowsing and then depart for as extended a period as feasible.
  12. AC90 is superior than WD40 for loosening nuts and bolts. Continue to douse it and then let it soak overnight.
  13. Determining from a snapshot is challenging, if not unattainable. Previously, AMG operated as an independent tuning company. In the UK, components could only be obtained via Stratton's, the only distributor. Parts were available for the SECs, including some 500 and 560 models with AMG bodykits, steering wheels, and wheels, which were quite pricey. It is uncertain whether any saloon kits were available. I really doubt that a 300 would have been equipped with authentic AMG components when it was new, mostly because of the cost. AMG kits should be branded with a component number. They were not originally installed at the manufacture. I mistakenly believed I had already submitted this, resulting in some duplication of BTB's.
  14. 85k miles is not considered excessive mileage. These vehicles are often in better condition when regularly used and maintained compared to low-mileage vehicles that may have mechanical issues from lack of usage. 300k miles is considered heavy mileage.
  15. also known as C43AMG, is likely the most knowledgeable person to consult on this matter.
  16. Either reputation or cost. £90 much more than £20. You are making an inappropriate comparison. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266658096349?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=L17ZJ2mVRd-&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=xvl3svqktkw&var
  17. I have never contemplated much on the impact of humidity and temperature on my well-being. Indeed, I ought to consider doing so. I have a strong interest in light and have extensively researched it. The influence on behaviour and mood is extensively recorded. Although it may seem peculiar, I have a strong preference for certain light levels, measured in foot candles, light colour, measured in Kelvin, and even CRI, which indicates how well the light replicates sunshine for colour perception. I am very astounded by the extent to which I can manipulate my emotions via the use of various lighting techniques. I use high Colour Rendering Index (CRI) lights with an intensity of around 40 foot candles for office work. These lights have a colour temperature of 5000K. As the work day progresses, I gradually reduce the colour temperature to 4000K and the intensity to 20 foot candles. During the final two hours of my work day, I switch to non-LED lights with a colour temperature of 3000K and an intensity of around 10 foot candles. I own a large quantity of candles that I often neglect to ignite due to my laziness. Additionally, I have candles affixed to my walls, which contribute to a very relaxed pre-sleeping ritual. All of my ceiling can lights are linked to the Phillios Hue system, allowing me to manage them using Alexa and create routines. Furthermore, I have successfully integrated the shades into the system, allowing them to gradually ascend with the onset of sunlight. If I attain enough wealth, I will include real bagpipes, similar to those used by the Queen of England, or maybe a whole orchestra, as shown in the film Coming To America (and naturally, the bath attendants as well). Currently, just the lights, blinds, and coffee maker are programmed to operate automatically. I strongly endorse it.
  18. This raises another inquiry. Will activating the AC and setting the heat to the highest degree reduce the overall heat level? I must admit that I did not excel in formulating that inquiry. Is it possible to activate the AC and set the heat to the highest level in order to get maximum heat in the car? Do individuals consistently use the air conditioning button when using the heating function?
  19. What is the reason for the activation of the AC light when pressing the front defrost button? I am likewise perplexed by this.
  20. However, does the correct one activate both the tiny flat window above the shelf and the large glass that covers the engine bay?
