  1. If you possess a hybrid, which I presume you do, 1. what is the rationale for implementing it on a 2024 vehicle? Indeed, the procedure and capabilities remain consistent throughout the entire hybrid range. There is nothing remarkable about it, as it merely involves a fundamental drain and fill to drip, rendering a flush impossible. The fundamental guideline is to remove the FILL plug initially!!!!!!!!! They are extremely tightened. Possess a genuine 10mm hex socket that fits perfectly. Ensure it is fully inserted. You might require a cheat pipe as they are exceedingly torqued. Ensure you select the appropriate plug, as there are approximately four or five similar-looking plugs present. The front's capacity was previously approximately 4.2 quarts. Utilise Toyota WS ATF; however, it is inconsequential as it serves merely as a fundamental splash lubricant. You require either a car lift or four stands, as the vehicle must be level. Upon making my modifications, I utilised a narrow-tipped funnel, affixed an appropriately sized tube to it, extending sufficiently to reach the fill aperture, and secured it to the hood strut. Alternatively, you will require either a manual or electric pump to introduce ATF. Once more, it is devoid of any uniqueness. If the fill plug is stripped, you will need to chisel it to gain access.
  2. I fully concur; securing the position is commendable. Such matters occupy my thoughts as well. I am not knowledgeable about electric vehicles; nevertheless, you might enquire with local EV specialists or your nearby BMW independent mechanic, who may possess coding expertise or know someone who does.
  3. The onboard oil level display in Mercedes vehicles is inadequate, similar to that of all contemporary automobiles. Upon purchasing our E class, the oil level indicated the minimum threshold. Following a comprehensive service, it was also at a minimum level. Due to my obsessive-compulsive tendencies, I added 100ml, resulting in a display of maximum capacity. I consulted our local Mercedes specialist, who indicated that it is not an optimal system and should function well as long as it does not indicate low oil levels. Was the vehicle positioned on a flat surface when it indicated the level? On our device, it frequently indicates that it is measuring the oil level without displaying any information. I detest the absence of a dipstick. Exercise caution when adding oil, as it is highly sensitive and can be easily overfilled, which will trigger a warning message. As it is not possible to extract oil from the dipstick tube in the event of overfilling, it is a nuisance to remove a small amount to achieve the appropriate level.
  4. I favour the colour-coded skirts on the TR. Made a significant error with the M, although......

  6. I like it. Must forgo due to the steering wheel being on the incorrect side (unrelated to the €600,000 suggested price 😁)
  7. They were explicitly engineered for the Mazdaspeed3 by Swift.
  8. Thank you for the link; however, Swift stopped them in October.
  9. I obtained the automobile from my stepbrother. I currently utilise it daily and am interested in enhancing its handling. I desire Swift Spec R lowering springs; however, they have been discontinued.
  10. Hello, I possess a 2018 JCW with the basic system 6.8. I wish to upgrade both it and the cluster.
  11. Hello everyone, I am continuing discussions with the garage, and they are covering the costs for the repairs to be conducted locally. Could someone inform me of the necessary modules for the RHS headlight unit? I will get a unit tomorrow; I only need to obtain the components.
  12. The passenger side headlight has ceased to operate, with the exception of the sidelights. Will the modules for this unit also be located inside the driver-side component?
  13. Hello everyone, I am still in dispute with the garage over this matter. However, the whole unit has failed. Is there a possibility of salvaging it by drying it inside, or is it beyond recovery?
  14. Indeed, it is the correct one. I assure you, I am. I will return it based on the video they provided of the automobile walkthrough, in which they said they would send me a replacement device.
  15. The vehicle has just had a MOT. I purchased it around a month ago, with an agreement from the garage to address the headlight issue. However, I am now concerned that prolonged use may lead to increasing electrical malfunctions. I may surmise that the garage is reluctant to incur expenses, but I have sent this to them.
  16. Greetings, I just acquired a 2015 CLS 350 AMG Line from a dealership in London, which is a 3.5-hour journey from my residence. I was informed that the outside headlight unit included moisture inside the lens at the time of purchase. Upon inspection during collection, it seemed that the device had been tampered with, and I requested a replacement unit to be supplied to me. To which they consented. The item has not yet been sent, and the existing unit was functioning well, although with an occasional error indicating a malfunction in the intelligent lighting system; nonetheless, all lights operated correctly, so the situation is acceptable for the time being. Last night, the offside indication and dipped beam ceased functioning, and the screen indicates a failure of the nearside turn signal, but it remains operational. Could these issues be attributed to the control module absorbing moisture from the unsealed unit? What is the optimal course of action about this matter?
  17. I own 255/35/19 tires in the back and 225/40/19 tires at the front.
  18. I just purchased a Mercedes C-Class. I have been driving and observed that my automobile is really rigid and jarring over the city's potholes. Conversely, the roadway is far smoother and more pleasant. I observed that the vehicle tends to slide to the left at the rear end at high speeds (70 mph) over minor bumps. What actions can I do to enhance my riding experience? I own 19-inch alloy wheels. It has been suggested that lowering tire pressure and selecting certain tyres might enhance comfort. What do you believe is causing the automobile to veer significantly to one side while in motion?
  19. I believe we require a distinct 'Subframe.'
  20. That was a hose that separated itself from the throttle body. Not tied to the recent problem
  21. While driving the S204 back from the workshop after rectifying a brake fluid leak, the vehicle experienced a complete loss of power while ascending a steep incline. There was little improvement over flat terrain, characterised by a lack of acceleration and insufficient power. I parked and connected my code reader to the vehicle, which displayed P0100, indicating a Mass or Volume Air Flow A Circuit issue. I erased the code and proceeded for another drive. After 30 kilometres, the issue has not reappeared, hopefully. Am I facing a potential MAF sensor replacement, an air leak from behind the airbox (M271 engine), or was this really an isolated incident? Has anybody else experienced this?
