  1. Additionally, it protects the wheel face finish 😉 After lifting the floor flap, I can attach an inflator chuck using my U-shaped valve extension. Here is the link: https://tinyurl.com/m75e8c7v.The frequency of checks can be reduced by reducing the pressure to 60 psi. If the pressure stays at 60 psi for a month, it's probable that further regular checks won't be necessary. Check the valve cap for a sealing washer; many of them are missing.
  2. This is a picture of the jack mounting and kit that Kia provided. Besides using big rubber bands to secure the tools to the jack, my setup is identical. Along with the wheel, my spare is lying flat and serving as storage. For the next few days, my daughter will be driving, so I will not be able to capture any pictures of my installation. You can fit any size Sportage wheel into the trunk of a regular car.

  4. For twenty-four pounds, I recently purchased a jack bracket on eBay. It may say Hyundai on the label, but this bracket is actually genuine KIA/Hyundai. A Latvian vendor who seems to source their parts from the right place; the bracket was shipped all the way from Germany. Updates in English and remuneration in British pounds. Visit https://tinyurl.com/845mued3 for more information. After assembly, I tidied up the jack by putting the various components of the handle, an extending wheel brace, and the tow hook—all of which had pipe insulation of different sizes—on top of the jack. Creates an attractive setup. I have a spare set of wheels that are technically limited to 50mph, but they are brand new, authentic KIA 17" 7J steel wheels with a 215/65 x 17 tyre that gives the same rolling radius as the original wheels. I have more room for storage now that the wheels are lying flat.
  5. If you aim to light an area that was not previously considered, the vehicle must be programmed.
  6. If the front lip is an authentic OE component, the primary dealership is the optimal location for obtaining a replacement.
  7. Full balance was required before dispatch in my case, and yes, that immediately made me nervous as well. I didn't just send it blindly though I checked the business details myself, spoke to them more than once and made sure the information I was being given matched up.
  8. Funny timing because I bought a 2020 Mercedes GLC 220d through Mcerlane Logistics earlier this year. I'm near Manchester so I didn't go over either and they talked me through everything on the phone and arranged transport once the purchase was sorted Arrived in 8 days and first thing I did was book it into an independent Mercedes specialist because there was no chance I was relying purely on photographs. They checked underneath, diagnostics, brakes, tyres, everything.
  9. The X Type's budget construction was evident in numerous ways. Many suspension parts, among others, will have been changed at 117k miles.
  10. I would immediately disregard the one that has not been serviced. An automobile I purchased once traveled thirty thousand miles between oil changes. Shortly after, the engine failed.
  11. The flaps closing against intake constitute the stop point, hence the answer is no, regrettably.
  12. It has to do with the motion, not the motor, therefore you'll have to make adjustments and reset it to learn the end stops regardless of which direction you travel. so, the absence of flaps will cause the bar to revolve infinitely, even with your motor attached. remove the flaps and bar, replace the manifold and then find a place to reset the modifications. ISTA isn't required; autel, launch, and others can accomplish the same.

  15. However, the issue seems to be with the gasoline supply.
  16. 2013 W212 Facelift E200 automatic petrol engine with 4.7-liter Nexus engine. Thanks to some tweaks I made in the engineering menu, I can now put the screen to black and have it warn me to "watch your surroundings" whenever I put the car in reverse. A CVBS camera and an RCA to Fakra adapter are on my shopping list. While installing my subwoofer, I will verify the configuration. If you have any advice or real words of discouragement, please share the
  17. It was in my 2010 model, but it was in the jack. I had already printed off a copy from the internet when I discovered it!
  18. Greetings, all! I'd want to introduce myself because I'm new to the forum. A 2013 Mercedes C220 was my latest purchase I figured I'd join up because my car is showing signs of trouble at just 156,000 kilometres, and I could use some help from folks who are familiar with this model. What might be considered typical for its age and what could be signs of a more serious issue that requires attention is something I'm attempting to figure out. Being a part of this community makes me joyful, and I can't wait to hear about your experiences. Would much appreciate any assistance. Thank you in advance.
  19. To reiterate what has already been stated. Definitely more urgent and silky smooth in E when I've drove hubby's CLS220d and pressed the S button. Since it's a 69 plate, check out the adblue range (in the menus on the dashboard). Just for the purpose of collecting data, if you decide to buy one.
  20. You have been a member since 2003, so it is understandable that you have encountered the subjects in my threads numerous times. Conversely, I have been a member for only 10 months and continue to discover new information about a marque I have owned for decades. Furthermore, I am confident there are other members like myself, which is why I invest significant time and effort in assisting newer members rather than the seasoned veterans, who I presume possess extensive knowledge and lack interest in my posts, which may seem trivial to them. Similarly, I am not directing my efforts towards these forum experts, as they certainly do not require assistance from someone like me. This is an international forum for Mercedes owners and enthusiasts, encompassing both members and guests. My intention is to offer assistance, advice, insights, and occasionally share humorous clips, cartoons, or light-hearted content. I do not aim to impart knowledge to those already well-versed, as I have previously stated; those with expertise may simply bypass my threads, as I have reiterated multiple times. My little movie elucidates the function, since a 'picture' conveys a thousand words, making it more comprehensible than text. Therefore, I believe a comprehensive video on the topic is warranted, and at 2 minutes and 4 seconds, it is relatively concise.
