I have just been aware of a phenomenon that has previously escaped my attention. Specifically, I have seen that the indicator light on my vehicle's dashboard is illuminated while the engine is turned off, but not when the engine is running. However, when contacting Mazda, they indicated that there may be a potential issue. I was dissatisfied with the level of anxiety they instilled in me. I am concerned that if I proceed with my intention to visit that location and allocate a certain amount of financial resources, there is a possibility that the individuals there may engage in activities that might potentially cause damage to my vehicle. Is it typical for the indicator to flash intermittently while the vehicle is not in operation?

The security indicator light on the dashboard exhibits a blinking behavior while turning off the vehicle, but remains unilluminated while in operation. I contacted Mazda, but, their response did not adequately address my query. It is possible that the key is functioning well, but it may be necessary to replace the battery. What are your opinions on the matter?

When purchasing automotive components from an online marketplace, namely 'Bosch' products on eBay, I made my selection based only on the vehicle type rather than the specific part number. The individuals performed with precision, and I believe I paid around £8 for each item. The only discernible difference I saw was to the angular orientation of the outermost connection, which facilitated the appropriate extension of the wire loom. Attempting to install connectors with a straight configuration would be incompatible in this regard.

The provided information indicates that the component number in question is A0009052402, which seems to be often installed in several Mercedes-Benz models ranging from the CLS to the Sprinter. Currently, there is a limited number of authentic new items available on eBay. Please do a search for the authentic A0009052402. It is quite probable that the MB component is manufactured by Bosch.

Thank you for sharing your research results on the forum. It seems that there was a limited understanding of how to resolve this issue, as seen by the paucity of responses. Consequently, this information will be very valuable to those who encounter a similar problem.

Reducing Your Engine's Carbon Footprint.
clk320x4 replied to clk320x4's topic in General Discussions
However, I don't use redex with every gallon of diesel since I've never had any issues. The first week with a new automobile is prime time for me to do this. When I was doing 1100 miles a week, I'd go through a bottle every 3,000 miles, but now I just need one bottle to fill up both of my gas tanks. One was done when I first bought my Audi 4,000 miles ago, and another was done shortly before she was serviced last weekend. Still, it hasn't stopped us 😉 The gasoline system should be flushed every so often. You wouldn't believe what came out of my fuel filter until you saw the photographs (coming soon)! -
Although I think this is a good concept and have found several of his films to be spot on, I'd still want to hear other people's thoughts on the matter. follow this link: Check out BMACVAG on YouTube (or BMACVAGS.com)

Is it typical for brake pads to get worn out after 8,000 miles?
clk320x4 replied to drummer's topic in General Discussions
Wearing pads at such a rapid rate would deviate significantly from what I consider to be the norm. I am now in possession of front brake pads that have not seen significant wear after a distance of 30,000 kilometers. It would be very dissatisfying were the brake pads to have a lifespan of just 8,000 kilometers. There is a possibility that the brakes might wear out within 8,000 kilometers; however, if the brakes have not been subjected to excessive force, it would be prudent to approach this claim with skepticism. Based on the information provided by MB. In my opinion, the exorbitant cost of £300 charged by MB for their replacement is indicative of a significant issue. The task at hand is of such elementary nature that any automotive repair facility should possess the competence to do the replacement for a cost that is equal to or lower than half of the mentioned amount. I fail to get the rationale of attributing significance to an unscheduled item that would ostensibly undermine the comprehensive record of services rendered. Consequently, I would not be deterred from seeking other options. In any circumstance, it is advisable to refrain from using MB pads due to their tendency to generate excessive dust particles. -
Inability to clear pad wear service alert. (2014 F20)
clk320x4 replied to spiezen's topic in General Discussions
In the event that one has difficulty in resetting the front brake pad wear indication and then receives a brake warning message, it is plausible that the wear sensors, namely the cables, have been activated or have incurred damage. It is recommended to do an inspection of the brake wear sensors and consider replacing them as a means of addressing the problem. -
How has the task been completed at present?

The process of eliminating suction imprints from glass surfaces
clk320x4 replied to Geek2232's topic in General Discussions
Prior to cleaning the glass surface by means of scratching, may I inquire as to which automobile glass cleansers you have utilized? Could you please provide more context or clarify your question? Are you referring to the brand Aut Could you please clarify your question or provide more context? If Autoglym were to be used, would the more resilient "Glass Polish" be employed instead of the expedient though less intense "Fast Glass"? Did you consistently use paper, specifically kitchen roll, as opposed to cloth, for the purpose of cleaning it subsequently? -
In addition to the many L322s and 405s, there are also three velars in the area.

A more plausible year is 2020. Press announcements and teases of new features for 2019 would have to be issued sooner than that.

If you don't trust LR's own website, I'll ask my dealer tomorrow.

Audi Arnott Parts for Your Air Suspension?
clk320x4 replied to drummer's topic in General Discussions
Two compressors were sent to me, with one of them being superficially spray painted black, without any internal modifications or replacements. The electrical connections were severed, resulting in the deterioration of the rubber covering around the wires. The compressor generated a pressure of 50 pounds per square inch (psi), indicating its poor quality. I have received another item from them, and it seems that they just rebrand generic products and redistribute them. when examination, it is evident that when opening one, there is a lack of any novel content therein. Currently, I am faced with the predicament of using a potentially substandard compressor obtained from a remanufacturing firm of questionable repute. This compressor is being used on a customer's allroad vehicle, which I am unable to rectify due to its inability to sustain any level of reservoir pressure. The part number for the MB component is 211-320-03-04. It should be noted that Arnott did agree to accept the return of the component; however, they declined to provide a refund for the shipping costs. In the event that one of my bags becomes worn out, I anticipate a more favorable outcome with the replacement bags due to their appealing price point. -
The user will have the capability to align the two entities or, in the event of an unfavorable scenario, make necessary adjustments to ensure compatibility. I have engaged in this activity on several occasions over the years, mostly focusing on older models. One advantageous aspect of BMW vehicles is the ease of obtaining connections, thereby facilitating the resolution of any potential difficulties encountered in acquiring them.

I had already conducted extensive research on the carburetor used in the 115 230 engine at a prior period. Acquire a carburetor repair kit, proceed to detach the carburetor, disassemble it completely, meticulously cleanse its components, and afterwards rebuild it. Additionally, it is important to verify that there are no leaks in the flexible rubber gasket located between the carburetor and the intake manifold. The rubber's age sometimes resulted in the occurrence of tiny perforations, which gained notoriety. The 115 engines were not equipped with inline fuel filters, leading to the accumulation of debris in the float chamber and subsequent obstruction of fuel supply via the needle. Install an inline fuel filter inside the engine compartment along the fuel supply line. Additionally, it is recommended to acquire a carbon monoxide (CO) meter in order to accurately adjust the mixture. Once the engine is operational, it is advisable to set the CO level to around 1.5%. The adjustment of the jet is accomplished by manipulating the adjuster located underneath the carburetor, specifically positioned inside the central region of the float chamber. The ATF level should be maintained at the bottom of the filler.

You may drive safely in either direction until the area is mapped out.

Although I have gone through at least three or four of the Barbie Healey clock radios since the mid-1990s, my wife still has her original 1962 model, which is in very good shape. The radios are just good looking on the outside; in reality, they are complete garbage. The radio part won't even survive a month (and the reception was horrible right out of the box). I'm happy to merely check the clock each morning to verify my continued existence without having to set an alarm (for work) in over twenty years. I've never been able to sleep more than four and a half to five hours at a stretch, so I'm typically up well before eight in the morning (see the time stamp on this post; otherwise, I'd go take a couple of shots of Sue's Barbie Healey right now, but we can't wake The Redhead...). Amazingly, since I last bought a Healey/Barbie clock on eBay (perhaps because to the recent obsession for the doll), their prices have more than quadrupled. > Clock radios with Barbie and Ken designs - Google Search

The question marks are: what is that (on the lower mount)?

I've been hunting for this in every possible place. Why is this component here? It's broken and mine. -
Help with a heated seat retrofit for a Vito W639
clk320x4 replied to ianwh4's topic in General Discussions
I simply compared the 211 to the 639 in the Book of Secrets. 639, 3–2–5 minutes 2-1:10:1 for 10 minutes straight. 211 3-2.5 minutes 2-1:10 Minutes After 20 minutes, turn off. They're both a little different from my original 203. I was mistaken in believing they were equivalent. -
Help with a heated seat retrofit for a Vito W639
clk320x4 replied to ianwh4's topic in General Discussions
That's what I was attempting to recall. There will be three phases to our 2014 operations. The system, SAM seems to assume, lowers the voltage after 5 minutes, then again after 20 minutes, and finally keeps it at the low value for as long as the user specifies. I seldom use the low setting since the high one often times out after 5 minutes. -
Help with a heated seat retrofit for a Vito W639
clk320x4 replied to ianwh4's topic in General Discussions
If memory serves, the 639 has switches hidden by blanks. You may take out the empty and replace it with the proper covering. If you flip the switch, the light will come on. The dash may be used to get rid of the blank or blanks. Insert narrow scraper down one side, press lid laterally, then pull to remove. You may give it a go and verify my assumptions. That'may' need coding as an output from the SAM because, if I'm correct, it is a canbus signal to the SAM. The'may' require coding is inconsistent with my experience with 639s, whereby all replacement SAMs have been plug and play with full access to all functions. The seat heater output is located at fuse 30 in the under-hood fuse box (F35 rail, bottom left, bottom row, second from right). I have no idea how the voltage to the heaters is regulated as this is a constant output. But I suppose it's within the SAM. Each of the base and back rest heating components in a 2006 Vito registered a resistance of 4.2 ohms. loaded at 2.1 ohms in parallel. Is verifying before installing worthwhile?
