  1. I apologise for the low-resolution excerpt from the 2015 brochure, but it seems that your wheels were initially diamond-cut.
  2. Thank you; I will investigate this matter.
  3. 147,000 Serviced at approximately 70 and I have recently completed another. No apparent indications of damage in the sump or on the magnets.
  4. Initially, it entered limp mode because to the DPF, preventing it from exceeding 2,000 RPM. As far as I know, it has not been inoperative since I resolved that issue. However, I will certainly review the actual figures on Xentry when I have the opportunity. Thank you
  5. OM642 paired with 722.9 (VSG2) Over the past month, I have encountered difficulties, apparently related to the gearbox. Issues such as gear engagement, or when attempting to start the vehicle, result in the engine revving to 2,500 to 3,000 RPM, akin to encountering an obstruction, followed by stuttering as it struggles to surpass the impediment. I have access to Xentry, and there are no evident flaws indicating the cause of this issue; therefore, I attribute it to the gearbox. I maintained my box, adjusted the fluid level accurately, and ensured the appropriate temperature. The issue was resolved... or so I believed. The following day, we encounter the same issue again. Has anyone had a similar situation or have any insights regarding this matter? I am presently perplexed; the sole option I have considered is replacing or fixing my conductor plate, which is evidently an expensive undertaking. Thank you in advance
  6. Connect the earth silver wire to the bulb holder and extend it to the body.
  7. Inspect the wiring and plugs of the lamps for indications of burning; it is not unusual for the earth pins of rear lighting to sustain burn damage.
  8. Does a little hatch between the chairs open? Could you extend your reach, then? Upon pressing the release button, can you detect any movement inside the lock? Is the key rotating in the lock?
  9. A coupe does not exclude the presence of foldable seats.
  10. We installed a Honda tow bar on our HR-V, which had a 13-pin connector but only used 7-pin wire. Our vehicle emits a beeping sound in reverse while connected, which I disable when reversing the caravan.
  11. I concur. A sensor malfunction would still activate the light upon key-on. In my opinion, the signals received by the ECU are the fundamental cause of this issue. Deviating somewhat from the norm... Is there no potential for a sensor wire to detect an extraneous signal? The Porsche 964, equipped with dual distributors, experiences engine movement during acceleration owing to torque response, which brings the distributors and ABS system into proximity, resulting in contamination of ABS signals by high-tension voltages.
  12. And meticulously examined for fissures? Rear ends? Presumably located inside the differential and unlikely to have rusted or fractured?
  13. Your post #2 is entirely accurate in such scenario.
  14. Is this a UK vehicle, because Kia specifies that all Gen 5 Sportages are equipped with 12.3-inch navigation screens?

  16. The accurate computation should be based on miles rather than time. because. If you earn 20,000 annually, you should reduce the OCI by fifty percent biannually. Time is particularly significant while travelling downtown, purchasing groceries, or during a brief commute, among other factors.In such instance, you should likewise adhere to the same OCI directive.
  17. I acquired the kit on eBay from Mercedes Edinburgh / Mercedes authentic parts. Send them your registration, and they will provide a link to the necessary elements. I acquired the eBay item with the number 155464543393. I paid £200; it is now advertised at £149.
  18. Indeed, I have seen several vids. A buddy is doing the job in the garage, and I am only ensuring that I get the correct quantity of oil. It is not an action he typically does, yet it is not his first occurrence. Thank you
  19. Greetings, December 2014 Estate C220d 7G, 109,000 km, first gearbox service. I am uncertain if I need 6 or 10 litres of oil. Conflicting information on the torque converter suggests that the issue pertains to vehicles manufactured before to 2010. How can I determine whether my vehicle is equipped with a torque converter? How can I ascertain whether it is 7G+? Should the plastic overflow be replaced or not? Thank you for any assistance!
  20. Thank you, this is what I sought, although evidently not from the UK.
  21. That is logical, thank you. Can I infer that all exterior colours of the GT-Line, regardless of the model, include identical light interiors? Undoubtedly, my dealer is unaware of the solution.
  22. I am inclined to acquire an EV3 next week: a GT-Line S in Shale Grey. Nonetheless, I am perplexed about the hue of the inside. I have examined the Kia website, several reviews, and YouTube videos, and I am certain that I have seen both dark and light interiors. Yesterday, I occupied a GT-Line (non-S) in Pistachio with a light inside; I like a darker interior. Do dark hues, such as grey and black, correspond with dark interiors, or am I mistaken in believing they are uniform?
  23. Acquired a 2022 Tucson Hybrid one year before. The car has 7,800 km (about 4,700 miles). Received a "Stop Vehicle - Check Brakes" warning on the dashboard, along with all other potential caution lights illuminated. The wheels became entirely immobilised and were unable to rotate. Towed to the dealership. The dealer informs me that there is rat damage to the wire that traverses a firewall to a control module. The primary structure requires replacement. Approximately $10,000 CAD for an insurance claim for repairs. I conducted more research and discovered that automobiles produced in 2017 by Hyundai, Kia, Honda, and Toyota have begun using a soy/rice-based wire coating instead of plastic to enhance environmental sustainability and minimise expenses. The soy/rice wire coating is very appealing to mice, squirrels, and rats. Approximately six class action lawsuits have been filed but are being rejected since the manufacturer contends that there is no "scientific" data indicating that the soy/rice-based wire coating attracts rats. I have endured six weeks of distress in dealing with this issue with the Hyundai store, and I still do not own my car. Is anybody else seeing problems with rats gnawing through wiring in almost new Hyundai vehicles?
