If you are referring to the Mercedes plant, then I believe not. Before 1993, there was no formal contract between MB and AMG. Therefore, any work was carried either by AMG in Germany or by their national agents, such as Stratton in the UK.

You seem to possess the skill and resolve necessary to address this matter effectively, which is crucial before we begin any physical work. The absence of return fluid is a problem due to the lack of electronic control in the ADS1 tandem power steering and suspension pump, resulting in a constant flow of fluid to the main valve with any surplus being sent back to the reservoir. To bleed the pump after running dry, locate the high-pressure line leading from the pump to the ADS main valve, situated on the right side of the engine bay. This valve can be observed from the wheel arch after removing the liner. Remove the line at the valve and put the end in a bucket or container. Make sure you have an aid on standby to refill the reservoir if the level drops. Once fluid flow is detected, we can confirm the pump is operational and proceed to bleed the valve and adjust the height. However, it is not necessary to do so until the pump is functioning properly. You may need to increase the engine speed slightly to about 2,000 RPM, ideally to witness fluid movement before reattaching the line to the valve. It could increase the next time you start the engine, but I don't want to make assumptions since there might be other reasons why it may not climb. The system operates under high pressure and low flow conditions using ZH-M fluid. This fluid is available from MB dealers, although the Febi 02615 fluid is a more cost-effective alternative that provides the same performance. Do you own a blink code reader that can be connected to your 16-pin diagnostic port? It would be beneficial when we reach the stage of electrical diagnostics. I will email you some further information.

Do not detach the pipe until adjusting the front struts. What significance does the automobile have for you? How would you assess your proficiency in using a spanner? Sorting out the issue will likely be costly if you hire a technician or time-consuming and need a systematic approach if you want to do it yourself. Visit https://r129ads.freevar.com/general.html Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir and confirm that the pump is returning fluid to the reservoir before forming an opinion. I am willing to assist to the best of my ability. I possess diagnostic manuals and enough information. Please provide your email address for me to give them to you.

1990 is undoubtedly ADS1. Is the suspension operational? Does it operate vertically in response to the switch?

It seems to be ADS1. What is the year of the car?

Although I am uncertain about the connection, the above footage is extracted from the 2020 Sportage brochure, specifically showcasing the 2.0 Mild Hybrid variant. It demonstrates the engine's ability to shut off during braking. In my observation, the occurrence of this phenomenon has been limited to instances when my intermittent ISG system was operational, suggesting a potential correlation.

It is wiser to prioritise safety rather than regretting later.

Greetings, I presume you are required to assert that the automobile is in its original factory condition, which it is not. I can easily discern an automobile that has been treated with a ceramic coating from a distance of one mile. I am only attempting to advise members to inquire with the insurance provider about coverage for the vehicle.

I intended to have my pre-owned automobile undergo ceramic coating, but some insurance providers are refusing to cover the cost of this treatment. Apologies for dampening the mood.

The issue originated from the socket where the door hinge is located. I applied contact spray on it, resulting in the resolution of the issue. 🙂 Hopefully, this will be beneficial. Thank you.

I hired Carly to examine the problems, and these are the findings: Initial verification Secondary verification

The alternator and starter were recently replaced due to the gearbox being inoperative for a timing chain replacement. The auto service advised me to do the replacement at this time. On Monday, I plan to visit a battery shop to get my battery tested. If necessary, I will replace it. I will ensure that it remains current.

The alternator and starter were recycled four months ago with the replacement of the timing chain. Could you kindly inform me of the minimum voltage threshold for this particular vehicle? If we can assist others, I will ensure that the issue remains current.

Greetings Geek2232, I appreciate your prompt response. Regrettably, I am unaware of the battery's age since I have not changed it since acquiring the vehicle in early 2022. Without a doubt, I will investigate the issue as it arises when starting the vehicle. Specifically, when I engage the Start/Stop button, there is a delay of around 2-3 seconds before the automobile starts. Upon reaching a speed of 90 km/h, the surrounding light and all other elements return. Unfamiliar to me

Greetings, everyone. To begin with, I am delighted to be here in this forum, and this is my first post. Furthermore, I apologise for any shortcomings in my English grammar. Allow me to elucidate the issue I am now encountering. If someone has knowledge about the location of the problem, kindly direct me towards it so that I may rectify it. I am the owner of a 2013 A6 3.0 204 (now upgraded to 300) horsepower quattro avant, and I take great pride in it. A few months ago, I began experiencing peculiar issues with my vehicle. Specifically, the ambient light on the right side (both front and rear) ceased to function, along with the controls for the windows (which cannot be operated from the left side), mirror folding, and locking. I am unsure of the mechanism, but the issue resolves spontaneously and I am now experiencing the same problem once again. Furthermore, I am now experiencing a malfunction in the message start/stop system, as well as a failure of the windows to roll down or up when using the key or remote. Unable to secure the right side of the vehicle. Could someone kindly direct me to the source of the issue, so that I may rectify it? Thank you!

As previously said, it will vanish after around 20 to 30 seconds.

The sprocket has to be removed in order to extract it. By the way, this key with a 'half moon' form is referred to as a Woodruff key. Different shapes of keys are given different names. A cursory examination of this design will indicate that it is impossible to get the desired outcome (in your application) without removing the sprocket. Wishing you the utmost success, please keep us informed on your progress.

Goodness, who attempted that? Who is Thor?

If the key is curved, it is likely meant to prevent it from popping out while the pulley is in place. However, this may vary depending on the specific automobile model. Curiously, I just had a similar situation when using my mother's Motability scooter. There is a puncture on the back tyre, which caused a sudden and violent wobble at a speed of 4 mph. It was a frightening experience. The rear drive axle is equipped with curved woodruff keys. In my particular situation, it was necessary to completely remove the wheel in order to reinstall the key. There were no other methods available.

As previously mentioned, and as can be seen in other discussions on TPMS, this particular form of TPMS detects variations in rotational speed among the wheels. The concept is that if one tyre has lower pressure compared to the others, it will possess a smaller circumference, resulting in a quicker rotation than the others. As previously said, it is possible that tyres with varying tread depths may lead to the TPMS system inaccurately detecting low tyre pressure. This is likely the reason why one garage has recommended purchasing two new tyres. However, it is important to note that this solution may not necessarily fix the issue at hand. I possess little knowledge with TPMS systems. Does it provide specific information about the problematic tyre or only indicate the presence of a problem with one of the wheels? If it specifies the particular wheel with a 5mm tread, it is fair to assume that this is the basis for its difference from the other three wheels. If such is the case, you may consider adding an additional 10 psi to the tyre, which would result in an increase in its diameter. However, I am uncertain about the exact magnitude of this increase. to determine whether it has any discernible impact, albeit it is a very speculative endeavour

The significance of the matter is really negligible. According to the current legislation, namely the sale of goods statute, any defect found in a second-hand vehicle during the first 6 months is considered to have existed at the time of purchase. The TPMS problem has shown itself after a period of 2 months, therefore making it the dealer's obligation to rectify the issue. I acknowledge that there may be significant resistance from the dealer about the installation of two new tyres, which may need some discussion and compromise. However, my main contention is that it is the dealer's responsibility to identify the issue and provide a resolution.

While it is possible that the statement is accurate, it is important to note that the original poster (OP) just purchased the vehicle only two months ago. As the automobile is experiencing a defect, it is the responsibility of the dealer to rectify the issue under the warranty agreement. If the dealer claims that the problem is due to the tyres, they must replace them accordingly.

The vehicle you purchased is currently covered by the warranty provided by the dealership. If they are certain that new tyres are necessary to address the issue, they must install them. Kindly return the issue to the dealer and request a temporary vehicle until they rectify the problem.

An establishment that specialises in selling paint and related products. It is not worthwhile if you intend to return it for another round of washing. They will just replicate the effect. I prohibit anybody from washing or polishing my automobile. I like the surface to be filthy rather than allowing their sponges, filled with grit, to come into contact with it.
