  1. The coolant temperature sensor is located inside the thermostat housing. I still possess the previous thermostat housing that I changed five years ago. I will attempt to transfer the sensor to the new housing when I get the opportunity.
  2. Thank you for the advice so far. I do own the iCarsoft device. I will examine it. Meanwhile, I have once again entered the automobile, started its ignition, and a few seconds later, activated the fans. Subsequently, I saw that the temperature gauge rapidly rose to 90 degrees Celsius. then, it increased to a temperature of 120 degrees Celsius and then decreased to 90 degrees Celsius. Therefore, it is probable that the temperature sensor is the cause. What is your opinion, gentlemen?
  3. Greetings, I have observed that the radiator fans on my E270 are operating continuously upon starting the vehicle. This occurs when the air conditioning and heating systems are both turned off. The engine temperature is within the typical range, and the coolant level is at an appropriate level. I have conducted a comprehensive check for fault codes and can confirm that everything is functioning properly. Do you have any recommendations? It is possible that the temperature transmitter for the fan is defective. Thank you.
  4. When we installed the new discs and pads, it was a straightforward and standard procedure. The hubs exhibited no signs of rust, and all components disassembled and reassembled with great ease. The only components that are older in that area are the Idler arm bushing kit and the bearings. Inclined to substitute them.
  5. I share the same sentiments. The old ones evoke a greater sense of unease, whereas the modern ones just elicit a little tremor. Do you have any suggestions for topics I should consider, you intelligent individuals? I now have available in my inventory replacement front bearings as well as the Idler arm bushing kit with the part number A1244600119. Additionally, a few steering damper is included. However, there are no apparent indications of any issues, and the whole lower part of the vehicle was replaced in 2017, which was 70,000 km ago.
  6. Agreed with everything. What about my ATE discs? Are they made in China? I currently have the rear ones in my inventory.
  7. We just replaced the brake discs and brake pads on my 1991 300CE. I purchased ATE discs. We detected a shiver when braking, leading us to conclude that the discs were deformed. However, there is still a little tremor, but much diminished. Are the new discs defective? Feasible, I presume. The MB discs were twice as expensive, so I opted for a more affordable option. I am now experiencing feelings of remorse. I previously seen a video on the internet. I like Porsche over Mercedes-Benz. They conducted tests on three types of discs: Porsche, mid-range German (Brembo, Zimmermann?). I cannot recall the specific details of (Don't remember) and Monroe. Monroe's financial status was impoverished, while the mid-range option was satisfactory. However, only the Porsche was really devoid of any trembling or vibration.
  8. Which fuel type should I choose: diesel or petrol? Is it possible that the turbocharger is not functioning optimally?
  9. I opted for NGK spark plugs as replacements for all of my vehicles. I have never had any problems with NGK. I am unable to provide any input or opinion about the fuel sensor.
  10. There is an issue with your car's online MOT results. The available records only date back to 2005, not 2015. Upon inspection, I have verified that my 1997 SL and many other automobiles I had in the past are included in the records starting from 2005 forward. As far as I know, the system also accommodates changes in the registration number when doing a search using the existing registration.
  11. Instead of eBay, there is a well-maintained 560 SEC that will be featured at the next Mathewsons sale. The estimated amount is between £38,000 and £40,000. There is a 10-year period in the MOT history when no records are available, spanning from 2005 (with 44,000 miles) to 2015 (with 65,000 miles). However, the records become consistent from that point forward. Could it have been used internationally? https://www.mathewsons.co.uk/auction/lot/lot-577---1991-mercedes-560-sec-auto/?lot=26508&so=0&st=sec&sto=0&au=68&ef=&et=&ic=False&sd=0&pp=48&pn=1&g=1
  12. Yes. Over the years, I have extensively performed this work on my l322. I paid far less than that. I want to own receipts. In simple terms, I would have given away the automobile only if its value exceeded 4-5k.
  13. The i-drive systems I have seen do not retain information on the date and mileage of the most recent oil change, unless it is manually inputted by a dealer or via the use of the required programming device. The reset function serves the only purpose of resetting the countdown. It is advisable to have a compact notepad in the glove compartment.
  14. The BMW service indication is meaningless. The purpose of its design was to attract fleet purchasers by highlighting extended service intervals, with the intention of selling automobiles. If the last oil service was conducted 12 months ago, it is advisable to replace the oil. The BMW service period between 15,000 and 20,000 kilometres seems unreasonable. To ensure the longevity of your engine, it is recommended to replace the oil on a yearly basis or after about 10,000 miles. There is substantial evidence from the last decade about several instances of BMW engines experiencing worn timing chains, chain sprockets, and engine failures due to oil deterioration.
  15. Although it may not be directly related, I suggest searching for "JJ on Cars" on YouTube. There are many videos of his CLK, and I recall one in which he explains a dashboard malfunction.
  16. Given the presence of your new automobile, I would attribute this occurrence to a potential technical malfunction, unless it has been seen to happen again. Based on the age of your battery, it is very unlikely that it is defective. The Mclaren car I own is equipped with a safety function that automatically reduces the wind when the battery is close to being completely discharged. For the carpet, it is useful to use baking soda to absorb moisture and prevent the growth of mould and mildew.
  17. https://www.startrescue.co.uk/ Last year, the amount was £41.61.
  18. I would want to inquire about the number of two-door and four-door evoque vehicles.
  19. Are you referring to anything similar to these examples? ...or maybe these options?
  20. As a second specification. This may have a wireless connection. Unless this feature was only included in later generations of non-Kia navigation head units.
  21. To determine compatibility, examine the connectors on the backs of both devices and ensure that your vehicle has the GPS connection. To be honest. Kia's navigation system is not as up-to-date as Google's. I use Waze.
  22. The "2" specification does not have built-in navigation capabilities. You are limited to using either Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.
  23. Acquire the genuine VCDS for optimal performance and reliability.
