  1. I apologise, I have revised my post. Regardless, they will function as well.

  4. Any automotive supplier will provide a box of varied C-clips, often including 10 different sizes, with 10 units of each size, priced at £5 or maybe £4.50.
  5. Thank you for your prompt response, sir. I will proceed to do it tomorrow, certain that I will not have cramping from keeping my fingers crossed for an extended period.
  6. Greetings to everyone, I have had my 2022 Sportage HEV for one month, and after a recent navigational failure that necessitated the use of my backup Garmin, I have concluded that my mapping requires an update. On my prior Sporty (MY2017), the process included downloading the update on an SD card, inserting it into the dashboard, then executing the installation. I recognised that this is a distinct process, so I researched it and downloaded the Kia update installer, subsequently obtaining the current map update using the installer onto a memory stick. Everything is satisfactory so far. However, I am now uncertain about the appropriate course of action. I understand that it must be connected to the central USB port and updated using the on-screen options; nevertheless... The instructions indicate that the installation process, which may take up to 30 minutes, requires the engine to be running to prevent battery depletion. Additionally, they caution that stopping and restarting the engine during installation may lead to various issues with the data due to voltage spikes and related factors. As the vehicle is a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), the engine does not consistently activate upon pressing the start button until the battery requires recharging. Once charged, it will cease operation again, resulting in several start-stop cycles throughout the installation process. I am reluctant to proceed with the installation, since the potential start/stop of the engine may compromise its functionality, resulting in the full loss of the navigation system. Could someone who has performed such an upgrade confirm its safety before I go incorrectly?
  7. I had similar issue with my E-Class while the auxiliary battery was failing. The hold function on the footbrake has ceased to operate, and the green indicator for the stop-start system is likewise nonfunctional. I am uncertain if your A class is equipped with an auxiliary battery. Utilise a QR application on your mobile device to scan the QR sticker located on post B. It will display the position of batteries.
  8. The headlight levelling mechanism may need a specialised diagnostic instrument or knowledge available at a Vauxhall dealership. Although a local garage may diagnose and perhaps resolve the problem, visiting a Vauxhall dealer guarantees access to the appropriate tools and expertise tailored to your unique model. If you possess the requisite skills for DIY repairs and have access to appropriate materials, you may attempt to identify the issue alone; nevertheless, it may be more effective to engage specialists for assistance.
  9. If you believe Kia is being It is only a frugal and parsimonious setup from Kia. It is undoubtedly inexpensive in comparison to several other brands. Who impose much higher charges. What is the cost of a Ford Live traffic subscription in the UK? Following the two-year free trial, the continuation of the Live Traffic Service to augment your Navigation system will incur a fee of £60, inclusive of VAT, for an additional two years. This pertains only to live service, which is provided free for a duration of seven years. Avoid considering the expenses associated with Mercedes or BMW.

  11. I can just reiterate the aforementioned. This is the same fee that Kia advised dealers to impose for an update before to the introduction of the 2021 self-updating feature. Thus, £80 annually prior to 2021, indicating it is less expensive today than it was then. Contrast prices between the UK and the US. $19.99 per month or $199 annually.
  12. I examined the Ross-Tech device. It is in the upper echelon of the price spectrum, akin to Rolls Royce. I cannot rationalise that expense. The A5 remains under a two-year extended warranty; I anticipate that most issues will be addressed. However, it will not, of course, include my illumination. I will investigate which bulbs would enhance my visibility on the road, then consult with my garage technicians. Numerous bulbs, as to selecting a shampoo. Thank you, everyone.
  13. Hello. I concur; I examined them last night. There are several options, and I am contemplating which one merits acquisition. Do you have any recommendations? Additionally, it is important to recognise that there is no conclusion to this endeavour. Thank you.
  14. Good day Thank you for your response; it is appreciated. I only want to enhance illumination on the road. Frankly, I am uncertain about the purpose of all those regulations. I question if my garage, which has been in operation for 24 years, will be knowledgeable about them. AUDI only accommodates OE bulbs, as I asked. I have operated 18 vehicles over 60 years of driving experience. Open the bonnet, remove the rubber seal, extract the bulb, and insert the new one. Task completed. Are you suggesting that the "computer" system in my Audi can determine the kind of light I receive? Replacing a 55-watt H7 bulb with a more efficient 55-watt H7 bulb is not a straightforward process, since the current draw will remain same. I find it simpler to refrain from going out in the dark. Exercise caution
  15. Greetings, Audi A5 Fastback, two headlamp pods. Their contemporary design makes accessing the bulbs difficult. Last winter, the illumination was like to that of two candles. I want more intense lighting. Many claim that our H7 surpasses Joe Bloggs' H7, akin to shampoo advertisements. Should I continue using H7 OSRAMs, as suggested? Upgrade LED? Has anybody really undertaken this trade and spoken from experience? I contacted my local AUDI dealer, who only provides OE parts but often receives enquiries about this "issue." I comprehend the different sorts of bulbs.
  16. Thank you for your response. I will thoroughly investigate the good suggestions that have been presented.
  17. We appreciate your inquiry once again. Auto Start/stop feature is not available. The engine remains in operation. The malfunction indicator lamp remains unilluminated. Upon coming to a halt, I depress the accelerator, and the engine continues to operate at a moderate speed and with little noise. Subsequently, after a few moment, the car's engine engages and the vehicle accelerates suddenly. I had believed that this is a distinguishing feature of the automatic gearboxes in mini s 2010 models. Now I am contemplating if I should consult the dealer to ascertain whether the issue is related to the computer programming. Do you have any suggestions or thoughts?
  18. Negative. There is no revision. Merely a postponement, devoid of any significant occurrence. Then it abruptly cuts. We appreciate your inquiry.
  19. There is a delay or interruption between the instant I push the accelerator from a stationary position and when the gearbox engages. My car's most significant issue is this. I would very value any input about this issue, since it seems to be unique to this particular automobile model. Thank you.
  20. If this were my vehicle, I would package the original exhaust and retain it. Subsequently, should I ever engage in the sale of the automobile, I would provide the subsequent owner with the previous exhaust system, in the event that they need it for any particular purpose. However, I do not have any issues with storage space in my residence. I own two lofts inside my garage that provide enough storage space spanning hundreds of square feet.
  21. I am considering delaying my decision for about one more week, in order to see whether I get any more communication. If not, I will ultimately terminate the agreement and, as you said, explore other options for a car.
  22. Expressing gratitude! Last week, I was given the opportunity to get it, but it would not have the code. I am considering retrieving it this week and personally delivering it to an authorised BMW garage. Despite the somewhat higher cost, I just want to have the vehicle in my driveway immediately, since I have already waited over a month in total.
  23. I acquired a BMW 1 Series, manufactured in 2015, on June 14th, 2024. We scheduled for me to get it on June 28th, 2024. The user did not provide any text. On June 26th, I got a message from the dealership informing me that they were preparing the vehicle for my collection. They brought it to the car wash, but unfortunately, the car encountered a problem and the headlight stopped working after the wash. Consequently, he had to get a fresh module and lighting. He assured me that it will be prepared by the 28th and instructed me to take the train to get it. (Please note that I reside in a location that is equidistant from both ends of the nation) He sent it to a technician who verified that the problem was related to the module and code. We anticipated its return on the same day. I arrived on the 28th after a four-hour trip. The dealer and I were anticipating the return of the automobile, but regrettably, it never occurred. Therefore, the dealer provided me with a courtesy vehicle to use temporarily. The user did not provide any text. My automobile is now in the shop due to coding difficulties that originated with a malfunctioning headlight. The mechanic made an effort to programme the BMW, but as far as I know, the coding technique they were employing consistently crashed or failed on the automobile. The auto dealer informed me that they would need to individually programme each function, and I am uncertain about the duration of this process. It is evident that I lack knowledge about vehicles. However, the car has been in the possession of the technicians for 12 days for a coding task that should ideally be completed within a few hours. According to my dealer, each item has to be coded separately. I have been consistently requesting updates from the vehicle dealer, who is also becoming more dissatisfied with the technician for the prolonged duration it is taking to complete the repairs. The car dealer is eager for me to have the car and considers me their first priority when they get news of its readiness. I'm curious if anybody has information on the current status of the automobile and the estimated duration of my wait. I volunteered to get the vehicle, a task which the dealer has approved, and transport it to my nearby BMW expert. Then I am contemplating the possibility that the auto dealer is deceiving me, or that the technician is mocking me to some extent. I would really appreciate any guidance or assistance about my current circumstance.
