  1. In my 2023 diesel 2.2 Sorento, I'm achieving an impressive fuel efficiency of approximately 29.6 miles per gallon, all while cruising in Eco drive mode. I recently chatted with a colleague who owns a Skoda Karoq with a 2.0 engine. Although it's somewhat more compact, it's still quite a sizable vehicle, and he's managing to achieve an impressive 67.9 mpg over the course of a month! I still possess the original Continental Premium tires, which boast a C rating for fuel efficiency. However, I'm curious about the fuel economy others are achieving with their Diesel Sorentos of a similar vintage. What kind of MPG figures are you seeing? Is there something I've overlooked?
  2. Sure, I can. It seems like I'll have to skip MB altogether.
  3. It was a response from D2B AutoParts, and I appreciate it. Does it have the OEM logo or not?
  4. Hello, the previous EGR was causing an engine management light code, therefore my mechanic just installed a new one. The code returned after a short period of time with the new EGR installed 😞 He verified that the electrical connection was functioning properly. Feel free to share any suggestions you may have.
  5. I can add another positive experience. Bought a Jaguar F-Pace Portfolio around six months ago and the delivery took ten days. Paperwork was all present and the vehicle matched the photos. No complaints from me.
  6. If you're still having trouble with high grip after adjusting the tyre pressures to the correct levels, try checking the vehicle's PDI import center; sometimes vehicles leave with the pressures set to transport, and dealers aren't great at fixing this.
  7. Thanks, man! I figured the M division would find a way to accommodate them in the plant if they were really influential. Thank you for the information about the boost pipe. Do you know where I can acquire one? I will investigate it.
  8. He never used it, but I bought his 2016 M135i nevertheless. My M135i already has a stage 1 remap and an upgraded exhaust, but I'm looking to do some DIY upgrades. I'm starting small, having the wheels refurbed and switching to black badges, but I'm hoping to add an induction kit soon. Has anyone here installed one? I'd love to hear your thoughts and advice on whether or not it's worth it.
  9. Instead of just throwing parts at it, get it diagnosed correctly.
  10. Could you clarify what you mean by "ABS cables"? 🤔
  11. When you choose OEM. Genuine OEM paddle shifters were the ones I opted for. Metal can be seen in an old video on my channel, however it isn't my best work 😂.

  13. In the same vein as before, the coolant temperature sensor is probably not connected or has an open circuit. Section 5 located behind the skull.
