  1. I am unable to provide a solution to your inquiry; nevertheless, it is worth noting that many remote features necessitate a paid subscription. You can consider verifying your Mercedes me account to determine if this is one of the choices requiring purchase.
  2. I attempted to connect my iPod Classic to the USB Type-A port, but it was not recognised. 2024 CX-90 Turbo Select.
  3. The issue of the adhesive rear tailboard window has been addressed multiple times prior. The Forum Advanced Search feature (accessible via the three white dots in the Black Header bar at the top of the page) will aid you.
  4. I would perform a complete recharge and subsequently assess the range. I advise utilising an Adblue pump at a service station instead of a bottle, which may result in spillage. The pumps include an automated shutoff mechanism.
  5. Have you examined the wheel bearings?
  6. I possess an aftermarket heads-up display unit. Some will exhibit all the aforementioned items and are connected to the OBD port. I am not a specialist in this area; but, could you not acquire a gauge holder that directly connects to your OBD port? I am confident that AliExpress may possess one; they appear to offer a comprehensive range of products. 🙂👍🏼
  7. The GPF issues predominantly affect petrol-only variants; a GPF poll on the forum will provide insight into the amount of affected users. Following the first shock of encountering a GPF issue, the majority of individuals adhered to the cleaning protocol and ceased further complaints. I owned a 2024 manual vehicle with 148bhp and covered 8000 miles without seeing any GPF issues, despite a variety of driving circumstances. I believe driving style significantly influences this, as the self-cleaning process occurs during overrun conditions; thus, a lack of engine braking may increase susceptibility to difficulties. Upon reviewing the Sportage forum, you will identify any issues that have arisen. The most advantageous aspect is the seven-year guarantee; thus, ensure that the service book is properly stamped and that Kia's terms and conditions have been fulfilled.
  8. Excellent work! I hope the automobile was inexpensive to acquire. Was there a genuine problem with the oil cooler seals, or was it a precautionary measure since the turbo was removed?
  9. Toyota, Kia, and Hyundai have been the most dependable vehicles I have ever had. Vauxhall and Mercedes occupy the second position, but with a considerable gap. The quality of Renault was deplorable.
  10. 3,000 is not a substantial amount for the three-pot.
  11. My Qashqai prompts a gear change at 2,000 RPM, regardless of whether I am driving uphill, downhill, accelerating aggressively, or applying light pressure on the accelerator; at 2,000 RPM, the indicator activates. The engine does not reach the redline until above 6,000 RPM, and the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) activates until about 3,500 RPM, which does not affect the system either. I alter my driving when the engine indicates it is optimal and in accordance with my current driving style.
  12. Do not exceed the first click until you are certain there is capacity in the tank. The vapor canister may get inundated, resulting in the illumination of a warning light.
  13. Exercise caution with the last plastic component that forms the upper section of the boot next to the back seats. The clamps securing this component are quite rigid. Upon reflection, I believe there exists a more effective method to completely retract the carpet. Perhaps starting at the midpoint of the boot? I have never explored this path. I recall having access beneath the carpet before completely removing the plastic trim. I believe it is compressed downward from the trim above and then inward towards the boot, namely in the central region where more flexibility is seen. It should enough to provide an opening for observation and photography.
  14. I own an S205 (C43). Upon removing the parcel shelf device, a little screw will be revealed, facilitating the detachment of the plastic trim piece that accommodates the parcel shelf tang. By elevating the rear seatbelt where it traverses the top of the seat on that side, you may also discover an additional bolt securing another plastic trim piece. Upon their removal, you will get far more access to advance the carpet ahead. It may also be necessary to detach the rear door weather seal and the plastic trim along the side of the door to completely free the carpet. I had to detach the same section on my vehicle to remove the back seat belts, and I remember that carpet piece was rather troublesome. I cannot recall what was behind it, but I will review my photographs today, and if I discover anything pertinent, I will share it. There were occasional pieces of foam that had been installed by the manufacturer, undoubtedly to reduce the squeaks.
  15. As I said, W204... Has anybody among you replaced the anti-roll bar linkage? The one I just worked on had an 18 mm nut and a Torx-like key to prevent rotation. However, the flip was constricted, requiring just a little adjustment with each turn; I doubted my ability to succeed. A through tool, such as a spark plug socket or a similar implement, would significantly simplify the task.
