  1. In addition, I must mention that I temporarily positioned the antenna on the car's roof, but still did not get any GPS signal. I have thoroughly inspected the Fakra connection many times to ensure it is properly inserted and the terminal is free of dirt or debris.
  2. Thank you for your response. I have also attempted the same solution as you, but unfortunately, it did not provide any positive results. I have replaced the old antenna with a new Fakra antenna and positioned it on the rear parcel shelf to ensure an unobstructed view of the sky.
  3. Greetings, Could someone provide guidance on the potential cause of the GPS problem with my NTG1 satellite navigation system in a 2006 CLS? I have owned the car for approximately three weeks, and during this time, the GPS system has failed to detect any satellites. After conducting research on the issue, I decided to install an aftermarket Fakra GPS antenna purchased from eBay. I placed the antenna at the back of the navigation unit in the trunk and positioned it on top of the rear parcel shelf, visible through the rear window. Many individuals have reported success with this method. However, despite my efforts, the unit still fails to detect any satellite signals. Consequently, it continues to inaccurately indicate that I am located at sea near Madrid, when in reality, I am in the northwestern region of England. Additionally, the dashboard clock is also set incorrectly and can only be adjusted in 30-minute intervals. Do you have any recommendations?
  4. In this location, we now have a functioning 2G network with excellent coverage. However, cellular carriers are interested in acquiring this bandwidth in order to allow children to stream films, which would use a significant portion of the network capacity. Despite this, they would only be paying a fraction of the cost (less than 10%) due to the flat rate data plan. However, the loss of MB telephony is not the most significant problem.
  5. The phenomenon of global warming has had an impact on the amount of snowfall occurring in the Pyrénées mountain range. However, it is advisable to exercise caution and make necessary preparations. Several years ago, I recall having to alter my route due to the presence of snow blocking several of the passes during the first days of June. I own a picture, but I am unable to locate it at the moment. An affordable hotel that I really like is the Rural L'Ortiga Blanca in Queralbs, Catalonia. It is conveniently located just 700 metres away from the Vall de Núria Ski station. I am certain that you will have an exceptional journey.
  6. I have traversed the whole Pyrénées mountain range around twelve times over the last four decades, with my most recent journey taking place last year in my R230 vehicle. I have a strong affection for Haro, particularly its wine and dining establishments. However, I have a special preference for the smaller and more secluded towns and villages.
  7. Applying Gtechniq C5 once year, followed by a spray and wipe with Meguiars quick wax, effectively maintains the pristine appearance of my black wheels. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
  8. To resolve the issue, one must disconnect the electrical connection from the swirl flap motor and then place a 4.7K ohm resistor between the two centre connectors. It deceives the Engine Control Unit (ECU) by creating the illusion that the swirl flap motor is still attached and functioning. Frequently used in cases of swirl flap motor failure, but it should be noted that this practice is legally unlawful since it involves the removal of an emission control device. This is undetectable in a Ministry of Transport (MOT) test and does not result in a failure to meet emission standards.
  9. I have had a similar problem, which was ultimately caused by a depleted battery. The indicators did not illuminate on the dashboard, however they functioned normally on the side of the vehicle.
  10. A few years back, my automobile had a situation where the window was partially down on many occasions. Subsequently, it disappeared. I am unaware of the nature or reason behind it, but it did not occur thereafter. I have an irresistible want to make a joke about the UK, even if I don't want to do it at your expense. Here is the text: Simply expose the automobile to direct sunlight for a few hours.
  11. What kind of automobile? The videos are not accessible. Personally, for me.
  12. If there is no compression on a single cylinder, it may indicate either a malfunctioning valve or a damaged piston. The damage to the piston cannot be seen until the head is removed. I will provide a photograph of engines without compression. Regardless, the head must be removed and there is no room for speculation. What is the rationale for substituting a used head from a different vehicle when the damaged valve can be easily replaced or the head can be refreshed? If it is a piston, then a bottom end refresh would be necessary. Personally, I believe it would be less troublesome. The appearance of your piston is a result of its saturation with gasoline caused by the absence of compression.

  14. Greetings The 2012 R8 GT was globally distributed and did not come equipped with a gearbox oil cooler. The short-circuit line is identified by the designated component number. Search for the oil pressure line used for gearbox oil cooling in the 2012 Audi R8 (R8) model, specifically for the Audi EUROPA 317050 variant under the code K8Q = GT > 2 > 420.317.818.C.
  15. Greetings Eliminate the radiator since the R8 GT model does not include this component.
  16. I have relatives residing in Lexington. The challenging aspect is that the meandering rural roads are mostly residential. Although there are extensive swaths of farmland, one cannot predict what lies beyond each curve, which may perhaps be a schoolyard or playground. I recommend that, regardless of the location you choose, you engage in a routine jog before embarking on an enthusiastic drive in order to be aware of your surroundings.
  17. Over the weekend, I performed an oil change on my vehicle using the oil advised by Audi, namely Liquid Molly 5W40. It is worth noting that I reside in Phoenix, a location known for its intense heat.
  18. Ross-Tech: Products In my opinion, it is quite worthwhile.
