P0137 low voltage O2 sensor bank 1 sensor 2 W205
alpaco45 replied to Howard_silver's topic in General Discussions
The second O2 sensor is positioned subsequent to the catalytic converter. This indicates that the mixture is deficient—excess oxygen may be due to an air leak in the exhaust system, or the ECU may have reached the rich limit for closed-loop control, yet insufficient fuel is still being injected—possibly due to low fuel pressure or malfunctioning injectors. Examine the current reading of O2 sensor 2; there may be a disruption in the wiring to it. Verify the measurements for O2 sensor 1 (pre-catalytic converter). If this is operating normally (0.2 - 0.8 volts every few seconds), with a lambda reading of approximately 1.00 once the engine has reached optimal temperature. The post-catalytic converter O2 sensor typically provides a consistent value of approximately 0.5 volts. If a physical inspection of the exhaust manifold, pipes, and catalytic converter appears satisfactory, there are no obvious leaks on the inlet manifold, and the fuel pressure is adequate, it may be prudent to consult an expert. -
I did not remove any trim while replacing the fuse; the accelerator pedal must be removed to pull the carpet towards the rear.

Recall for EGR Replacement and Software Update.

It seems to be an excellent method to allocate some time. You are completely forgiven, my friend! -
Is there a malfunctioning bulb?

Additional details would assist in guiding forum members to provide a coherent response. The mileage, service history—especially the most recent service—and the timing and location of the issue may provide valuable insights. The multitude of alternatives, given the little information available so far, compels members to speculate over the rationale. Is it a 1.6 turbodiesel type, and did the vehicle malfunction while in operation, or did it just fail to start after being parked at home or elsewhere? The aforementioned details, together with the identification of the garage that conducted the most recent service, will enable prospective responders to refine the likely cause. Forum members are eager to assist; but, they want further information, as I have already said.

According to my experience: The DIY task, which involves rust removal followed by the application of an undercoat, will enough to prevent additional rusting. The surface fill and paint match may be sufficiently enough to be inconspicuous from afar. Skilled repairers will do a superior job, making the repair almost imperceptible until upon careful inspection. In other words, it is likely that only an individual inspecting the paintwork will see it. Only a body shop can provide a flawless 'like new' repair. Ultimately, everything depends on your objectives and your budgetary constraints.

The 7g+ gearbox will need maintenance every five years or after 77,500 kilometres.

The primary assertion is that, having disclosed the modifications and received their consent about my responsibility for their replacement, they would not impose any further charges on my coverage.

I apologise; I meant to convey that despite the body damage to my vehicle, I would still cover the specified goods and modifications included in my policy.A frontal accident necessitated the replacement of the bonnet, wing, and grille. Since the grille will be Panamericana, I will purchase a new grille as stipulated in my modification statement. The objective of this is that the insurer will not be liable for any modifications I have made, while I get comprehensive coverage as usual, and they cannot claim that the policy is void due to undeclared modifications.

Greetings, everyone.I am eager but apprehensive to apply trim on my CLS.It seems that wrapping any trim without notifying my insurance company would be precarious.Would this be effective in mitigating any potential rise in charges? Should they concur, in the event of an accident, whether attributable to my negligence or that of another party (preferably only in the case of my culpability), I would, at my own cost, repair or replace any item I have designated with my insurance company that has been damaged. Considering that my surplus amounts to £800. I am discussing the front grille (Panamericana), rear diffuser, side mirrors, door handles, and boot spoiler of the CLS63. Surely they would be profiting? Expenditures incurred by me Front-end collision; the Panamericana grille costs around £320. Rear-end collision, estimated cost for rear diffuser around £500.Potential boot spoiler priced at about £300. A side impact may result in damage equivalent to around £300, perhaps affecting a door handle.Potentially £500 for a door mirror. Consequently, my total expenditure would be below £800, which is my deductible amount. Do you have any opinions?

The CX-5 is much superior than the CX-60.
alpaco45 replied to Howard_silver's topic in General Discussions
What engine does the CX-5 utilise? I drove a petrol 2.2L CX-5 for many weeks while my CX-60 was at the dealership, and the petrol engine is inadequate. -
Many years back when we had a motor industry, on of my relatives worked a large motor maker. Given our mutual interest in automobiles, we would converse about his profession and vehicles. He informed me that the VIN plate and chassis stamped number were affixed to the vehicle one station after it was painted. Subsequently, after a few hours, when the stock was short, they would implement a model update to the suspension, among other modifications. Several years before, a family member had a Vauxhall Cavalier 20i GL. He had the brakes changed at the main dealership, where the attendant informed him that the installation would be delayed by a few hours due to the presence of SRI pads instead of GL/20i pads in his vehicle. Progress has been made with the arrival of "just in time" components; nevertheless, in my opinion, errors during the assembly of vehicles may still occur, and it is possible that the parts supplier made an error.

problems or user mistake with the new Sportage
alpaco45 replied to CodeCrusader's topic in General Discussions
The most effective approach for configuring the vehicle is to methodically navigate the options inside Kia Connect. Configuring the system in the vehicle is OK, but Kia Connect is comparatively more user-friendly. Navigate to Home (located at the bottom left tab) and scroll down to User Profile. Navigate to Vehicle Settings and proceed down the page, accessing each tab sequentially. Certain tabs have subfolders, so ensure you expand each one. Significantly simpler to establish inside the convenience of your home. -
The gearbox is unequivocally not sealed for its entire lifespan. Mercedes has prescribed times for the replacement of the fluid and filter. These have evolved throughout the years, but they remain mandatory.

When attempting to adjust from the driver's side, there is an audible response indicating an attempt to adjust, which may coincide with the movement of the passenger side. I shall attempt to interchange them to see whether that is beneficial. The motor may perhaps be the issue, albeit the overall wiring is subpar. Thank you.

What are your thoughts on this? - Inexpensive W204 Estate
alpaco45 replied to AMG33D's topic in General Discussions
You may be correct. (and I am mistaken...once more.) I thought it was identical to my S204, which has the batteries in the engine compartment. -

He will spend a considerable amount of time searching for the battery under the trunk floor. It is located in the engine compartment. -
If you have a strong desire to use a tire with a reduced sidewall height (which might potentially impact the smoothness of the ride), you will need to either adjust the Speedometer or choose for a bigger wheel.

The wall charger and cord are experiencing excessive heat.

I expect the equipment to be suitable for the automobile, however there is always a possibility of anything being improperly secured. I will need to request their presence for an inspection. Thank you. -

I am unable to locate this. Could you provide me with more detailed instructions, please? -
The wall charger and cord are experiencing excessive heat.
alpaco45 replied to alpaco45's topic in General Discussions
I suppose it would be prudent for me to do so. I am curious about if it is typical for the temperature to rise. Occasionally, while a phone is being charged, it may experience an increase in temperature, but at other times, it may not. -

alpaco45 replied to alpaco45's topic in General Discussions
After careful consideration, I find it logical and coherent. However, because I am now in Spain and utilising a vehicle and charger provided in Spain, one would assume that there should not be any issues. In addition, I informed the dealer who reacted with astonishment and curiosity over the occurrence of such an event. The user's text is an emoji depicting a person shrugging.
