My automobile has been rather idle for the last several weeks. The vehicle in question is a 2019 E220 diesel model. The aforementioned notice has been shown on the dashboard both today and yesterday. I plan to operate the vehicle later this evening, since I was unable to do so earlier. Interestingly, on the distinct battery and engine menu, it seems that the battery is well charged and the notification vanishes after about one minute. Will the battery remain functional till I reach an automotive repair facility next week? Tomorrow, I will be embarking on a journey that will need me to spend a duration of 2 hours driving. Can you provide me with your assessment on the feasibility and safety of this endeavour? The battery remains unchanged so far.

Insurance coverage for recently licenced young drivers
Rashman4u replied to EatSuru's topic in General Discussions
Recently, my employer added his son to his car insurance policy with Admiral, even though he doesn't typically insure his vehicles with them. This happened the day after his son passed his driving test. The car in question is a 4-year-old C1. The cost is £1400 without the use of a telematics device (Admiral does not provide telematics devices). I have been a loyal customer of Admiral for some years now. They have always offered fair rates for both of my daughters when they obtained their driver's licences, and I make sure to properly compare their rates every year. Incidentally, my employer is now in the market for a new car and is considering a 2019 C300d estate. He is unwilling to drive his GT3 on a daily basis. -
Is the CX 90 Premium classified as a hybrid vehicle?
Rashman4u replied to spiezen's topic in General Discussions
Essentially, it is a vehicle that combines the features of two different types. The electric hybrid motor is positioned between the engine and gearbox and provides assistance in delivering power intermittently. To see the energy flow while driving, go to the "Information" section and choose "Fuel Efficiency." From there, access the "Energy Flow Monitor." The double arrows indicate the flow of energy from both the gas and electric sources. Additionally, it is included on the window sticker. -
I am under the impression that I came across information suggesting that there are disparities across HK music systems. Although I have always found the system in my Optima to be exceptional, I am unaware of its specific placement within the HK range of automotive systems. The non-HK system in my current Hyundai car is as satisfactory and I am content with it.

I bought the ML430 brand new in 1999 for my wife. Undoubtedly, it has been the finest automobile we have ever had. The vehicle now has an odometer reading of 98,000 miles and is still operating very well. Aside from a few minor issues after the delivery, the experience has been without any significant problems. We have just replaced the spark plugs, ignition wires, belt, fuel filter, front and rear ball joints, performed a radiator clean and changed the fluids in the gearbox and differentials. The total cost of these maintenance tasks was $2850.00. According to my independent technician, the vehicle is expected to last for an additional 100,000 miles. The ML350 is more popular than the 4.3L model because to its superior fuel efficiency. The reason for its discontinuation is likely the same as any other manufacturer: the introduction of new models and changes in branding. What is the difference between 350 and 430? According to my contact at Karl Heintz Mercedes, who has over 40 years of experience in the industry, the 430 models are far superior and have less issues. He solely works on MB's - I'll trust his expertise. Advice: Avoid purchasing a vehicle equipped with the factory Navigation System, since it is of subpar quality. I had a post-purchase navigation system added, which had XM radio and more functionalities - far superior. Proper maintenance ensures the longevity of any object, allowing it to function indefinitely. That belongs to me.02 Wishing you success!

Thank you, my friend. The previous one had to be sent for repair on two separate occasions. All the malfunctions, such as the windows, mirrors, and wipers, were repaired. However, while reinstalling them in the vehicle, the central locking system began to malfunction, which was the sole component that was functioning properly before to the repair.

Thank you for responding. Uncertain, however they are now transporting the item to the main dealership.

I appreciate your response. The new item is completely new since the previous one was irreparable.

The 2004 E46 330 convertible had a new module installed since the previous one was irreparable. The garage is unable to programme a new module for the automobile. Unable to locate or enter the vehicle identification number (VIN). Is it exclusive to authorised dealers? The garage is searching for a module that the automobile does not possess. Assistance would be much appreciated.

Hello! The driver's seat is malfunctioning.

Hello! The driver's seat is malfunctioning.
Rashman4u replied to Rashman4u's topic in General Discussions
Firstly, I would like to express my immense gratitude. The seat adjustments (up, down, fore, aft, tilt) produce an audible click when attempting to operate the switches, indicating the presence of power to the seat, as you mentioned. What is the current course of action? Once again, I apologise for the many inquiries. The automobile belongs to my wife. -

After I test the adjustments…then what? Thanks, for your help. -
Hello! The driver's seat is malfunctioning.
Rashman4u replied to Rashman4u's topic in General Discussions
However, how can I access it? After removing the front seat cover, what specific component should I be searching for and what actions should I take? As a relatively inexperienced Land Rover owner, I would really appreciate any and all information that can be provided. -

Where is the location of the seat fuse? -
When the memory seating button is pressed, the mirrors, lumbar support, and steering wheel adjust to their designated positions. However, the seat does not move and instead produces a clicking sound. The only seat that is not functioning is the driver's seat. How can I locate and access the seat fuse, and what methods can I use to identify it? Assistance is requested.

Cameras are no longer functional after the software upgrade.
Rashman4u replied to spiezen's topic in General Discussions
I have affixed an iPhone SIM eject "tool" to the bottom of the centre storage lid using blue tack, specifically for situations where it is needed. -
The headlights are not turning off by themselves.
Rashman4u replied to KissezFun's topic in General Discussions
I thought they would just switch off after twenty or thirty seconds. Is this anything you've attempted to test? While the vehicle's lights are set to automatic, my Ford Transit van does this. -
It is possible that he had seen your work and found it to be far better than his own, leading him to believe that you were being sarcastic. Alternatively, he may have a strong dislike for the item and had a genuine desire to get an Audi, although his spouse compelled him to make the purchase. What was the approximate age of this individual who was in a bad mood? Perhaps he was a Sassenach and just couldn't comprehend you...

Utilise Kia Connect as substantiating proof
Rashman4u replied to Screwdriver_1's topic in Technical Area
I am not a lawyer. However, I believe it would be challenging for you to override the Kia Connect data in order to replace a camera picture from a properly functioning and calibrated speed camera. Attempting to do so would require forfeiting the Speed Awareness option, which would not be available to you in the future if you were unsuccessful in your attempt. You may also be required to bear the cost of hiring expert witnesses to substantiate your claim. However, if you decide to do it, I wish you the best of luck! -
The cost for the EGR pieces is £900, while the cost for the intake manifold is £1100.
-
Today, I had a conversation with the garage and they informed me that the egr (exhaust gas recirculation) system is malfunctioning. Additionally, they discovered that a component in the intake manifold responsible for opening and closing the flaps has broken, resulting in the flaps being stuck in the open position. This has caused continuous damage to the inlet manifold. The whole expense for replacing all goods amounts to £2900.

The precise location is Newark, Nottinghamshire.

Greetings, everyone. Recently, I had a problem where my 2012 F07 with 85,000 km on it failed to start one morning. I summoned the AA and applied a little amount of easy start to the location of the air filter, resulting in the engine starting, but with irregular running and emitting some smoke from the exhaust. He recommended it as a malfunctioning injector and accompanied me to a nearby automotive repair shop. They reached a consensus that there was a high likelihood of a defective injector, so they proceeded to uninstall all of them and sent them for testing. Today, I called to inquire about the progress, and I was informed that the injectors were not defective. However, they performed some reprogramming on them. Upon their return, the vehicle continued to operate in the same manner. The individual now speculates that the problem may be attributed to the EGR cooler. I have attempted to investigate the symptoms of a malfunctioning exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler, but none of the identified symptoms align with the current performance of my vehicle. There are no issues with overheating, coolant loss, or the presence of white smoke. Has anybody experienced anything similar or can provide any advice? I instructed them to proceed with examining the EGR cooler, since I lacked knowledge of other courses of action. He referenced a compression test but said that the light plugs were immobile.
