Lately, I have seen websites that are advertising things, such as ride-on lawnmowers, at very discounted costs that raise suspicions. The websites provide safe payment options via well-established credit card issuers. I am perplexed by the purpose of this. If the client has purchased and paid for products that have not been delivered, it is reasonable to expect that the credit card company would reimburse the customer and take action against the seller. If a vendor fails many times, will the credit firms' fraud protection measures not be activated?

This is one of my few issues with the Sportage, especially because I own an Audi that also exhibits this behaviour. Furthermore, might it be considered excessive to request the inclusion of an average speed estimate on the display?

I had a delightful vacation in the Costa Brava. Enjoy!

The appearance has been improved, resembling a Mercedes to a greater extent. However, in my opinion, it still lacks the distinctive characteristics of a true Mercedes. The video is in portrait mode since it is a short video on YouTube.

The plugs, coils, and gaped have been replaced.040 The idle spike persists.v

Apologies for neglecting to specify the model of my automobile. The model is a 2012 C63 AMG W204.

Greetings, everybody! What may be the cause of the fluctuating or surging RPMs I am experiencing? While in park, the revolutions per minute (rpm) fluctuate, and I can perceive the automobiles' sounds altering in tandem with the rpm changes. Video: Additionally, I am experiencing a bothersome whining noise upon cold starting the vehicle, which diminishes as the car becomes warmer. Despite my efforts to replace the PS oil with fresh oil and bleeding the system, the whining sound persists. Video:

That is an immense quantity! I had a little amount at the bottom of mine. I simply used a high-pressure spray to thoroughly cleanse the inside of the hosepipe, thereby removing any obstructions. I estimate that there was around 1.5 inches of muck at the bottom. I assume that your vehicle was often used in various weather conditions. I have never drove mine in rainy conditions, to be precise.

Using a clay mitt or clay bar should effectively remove it, I presume.

The typical protocol involves unlocking the vehicle, after which you are given a 60-second window to disconnect the plug, since the current would have been deactivated to ensure a secure removal. If the vehicle is still in the process of charging, access the EV settings and decrease the charge limit to a value lower than the current display. This action should halt the charging process. If the plug remains unreleased, utilise the cable release mechanism located under the hood.

In the near future, I plan to do routine maintenance on my automobile, including changing the oil, filters, and spark plugs. As the car has had previous owners, I believe it is necessary to replace the spark plugs. The ones sold by the official service are likely to be NGK or Bosch products. Do you have any recommendations regarding spark plugs? Preferably with specific identification codes? Because occasionally, the official service may not provide the most optimal product for the engine. Regarding the oil, BMW suggests using Castrol 5w/30 for the S63 engine. However, I noticed that the engine was consuming oil with this configuration. After switching to Castrol 0w/40, which was my personal decision without any official recommendation, I no longer experienced any issues with oil burning or consumption. I have never used a different oil configuration for any of my cars before, but I will continue using this one. Is anyone else using a different type of oil? What is your knowledge and expertise on this matter? Thank you.

Maybe I should not have inquired! 😞 https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/4413651

The battery pack unit from MB is pricey, however with time, there may be a need for diagnostic and repair services rather than complete replacement. It's similar to discarding an engine due to a flaw in one cylinder that might be easily fixed. Where is BBA Reman located?

An expanding sector is expected to emerge for aftermarket services specialising in fixing battery packs. This pack will ultimately be constructed using mass-produced cells from China. £14k seems to be expensive. I am curious what the capacity it offers. LiFePO4 cells are becoming more affordable. I am astonished that Mercedes-Benz did not anticipate these concerns and proactively strategize to maintain their image and consumer trust. They do not intend for their automobiles to have an indefinite lifespan, but they must be able to rationalise their pricing, and consistent resale values are a component of that strategy. Have you consulted any independent experts that specialise in hybrid/EV vehicles and could provide advice on other choices, such as replacing the batteries solely, instead of going to the major dealer?

It might be concealed with a cover. It will be located above the driver's right shin. Examine carefully and inspect any flaps and coverings you come across.

After two conversations with Mazda customer support, my matter has been elevated to their parts section, and I anticipate a response from them this week. Displaying empathy throughout the phone call, yet no solution has been reached.

He said that the vehicle was taken out of service because it reached the maximum mileage or time permitted in the fleet by Mazda. However, it is uncertain whether that is true.

Visited the showroom this morning to pick up my loaner CX-90 and was informed that Mazda has removed it from their fleet. I was provided with a CX5. I contacted Mazda headquarters and obtained a case number. I was informed that I will get a call to decide the next steps, whether it be using the lemon legislation or pursuing another line of action. Corporate was astonished by the unavailability of a CX90 for lending. The dealer said that Corporate was the entity who retrieved the loaner from their fleet. Could you provide further information on the failure? Recalls were being performed when the battery module malfunctioned, resulting in the automobile becoming fully inoperable and requiring a tow truck to be moved from the shop.

That seems like the appropriate place to begin. I don't mind paying for a car, but it's challenging to make payments on a vehicle that spends more time in the repair shop than in my driveway within a year. Is it unreasonable to want comped payments over these months, considering the circumstances?

Purchased the automobile in June 2023. Premium Plus Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle Inline-6 with 15,000 kilometres Transfer case leaked in November, spent 5 weeks in the shop waiting for a new transfer case, but ended up just changing the seal since the transfer case was unavailable. Had vehicle serviced for recalls and check engine light last week. Received notification that the high voltage battery pack is faulty and is not available until June due to being on backorder. Upon its arrival, the automobile will have spent 6 months out of the 12 months I have owned it in the shop. According to the VA lemon rules, an automobile qualifies if it has been in the shop for over 30 days during the first year of ownership or before reaching 18,000 miles. I lack knowledge in this area and I am unsure whether this is the optimal line of action. I'm looking for someone's insight on this matter to determine whether it's the correct course of action. I adore the automobile, but I am not fond of its issues.

If you are in the process of removing the cylinder head, it is not necessary to be very concerned about aligning and fitting the camshafts and the tool, since they may be significantly misaligned, making it difficult to properly position the tool. Simply secure the crankshaft in place, ensuring that all the pistons are positioned halfway up the bore, thereby eliminating the risk of valve collision. Simply fasten the camshafts using a 27mm spanner and proceed to detach the camshaft sprockets. In my opinion, the inlet manifold is the most challenging task I have encountered so far.

Understood. The most suitable starting point would be the refreshment that you are seeing as a traditional option. (However, it will get expensive!). You may have come across postings from individuals who possess extensive knowledge regarding these engines and generously offer their skills. I just saw your automobile on Ebay, namely in the section for sold listings. It seems to be rather attractive, and the condition of the engine seems to be satisfactory, without any significant issues. This project seems to be commendable, provided that you had enough room, equipment, and time. What progress have you made with the dismantling process?

I am also located in Bristol, namely in Winterbourne. I am now doing the same task as you. I have progressed to disassembling the cylinder head and have started the reassembly process. You can find more details about my engine refresh project at the DIY Engine Refresh section. I am willing to provide suggestions and, if necessary, tools. Please provide a comprehensive summary of the pollutants detected during the MOT test. Specifically, did the vehicle fail the hydrocarbon emissions test?

The mileage is 70,000 and it is very difficult to accommodate a person's weight in the passenger seat. I will be returning on Friday to see what solution they provide this time.

A single technician is sufficient to operate a can of WD40. They can use their index finger to move the can and their opposable thumb to grasp it.
