I have reservations about the suitability of the ravenol 10w50. I am unfamiliar with it. I recommend opting for the liquimoly 5w40 oil and closely monitoring the temperature if engaging in aggressive driving. A range of 110-120 is OK. If the reading exceeds 120, it is advisable to choose a high-quality 10w50 product.
-
It is regrettable. Furthermore, Audi did not provide any assistance. I think Audi may have specified 10w60 oil at some time, maybe for the GT model, but I am uncertain of the specific years. It would be helpful to know the specific model year of your car and if it has been modified or used for track work. However, assuming you have a high-quality full synthetic oil, I would recommend trying the 10w40 viscosity for your vehicle. Monitor the temperature closely. Are you aware of the present temperatures you are observing?
-
Negative. As the surrounding temperature increases, it is advisable to use a more viscous oil to compensate for the loss in viscosity. If the origin of the OP is unknown, but continuously experiencing external temperatures of 45 degrees Celsius or above, it would be more suitable to use a motor oil with a weight of 10w50. There is no need to use oil with a viscosity as low as 5w. However, if you want to use 40 weight oil, it is important to monitor the temperature closely, since temperatures over 45 degrees Celsius are approaching the suggested maximum limit.

The leather seats, designed uniquely, remain in excellent condition even after travelling over 150,000 kilometres. 🙂👌

This is the most detailed article I have seen from p00rmansp0rsche. It looks fantastic!

It may be just perception, but the AMG insignia on your car seems little misaligned, doesn't it? 3M VHB tape or generic automobile body trim tape https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/323997363900?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338181125&toolid=10001&customid=2518X1570512X9692687cec85f947039f6a60fff2606e It should be done, but as Paqngo said, you may need to remove the whole trim to do it correctly, and it seems to be highly susceptible to damage.

Is our money secure in the BMW service plan?
Darrellll replied to VWDaveBMW's topic in General Discussions
I would recommend choosing a local professional and saving the money intended for a service plan in an account until it is required. -
Delightful sound

Needs to provide a concise interim report. The estate does not surpass 12% with rather intense post-deteers. Perhaps more charges will be included when you settle my outstanding balance, which was not previously specified. Frankly, I had anticipated a little more, but the terms are now pretty consistent with the different dealers.
-
Just set up an X& at this location. Discount rates: 12.5% at Handel in Hesse and NRW, 13% at BMW Welt pick up upon completion of configuration. This validates my assumption.
-
Greetings, Approximately 17-19% are not included in the X6 LCI as now. The working group's advertising for the X6 does not yet include an LCI, which would cost about 2,000 euros (equivalent to a discount of 2-3% based on the selling price). An LCI without a car is considered to have a decent discount when it falls within the range of 14-15%. I am pleased to introduce you to my dealer. The location is in the Rhine-Main region, however delivery is available nationwide.

An excellent 211 property is difficult to surpass. An excellent choice is a cost-effective purchase in my opinion.

What are the various additional products or services being offered for sale? The only one that comes to mind is the Air Con update. If any components, such as wipers, are found to be in need of repair, they are thoroughly inspected and determined to need replacement. Certainly, you have the option to take it somewhere or do it yourself. They are all edible items.

Acquiring a (fresh) R8 [Assistance Needed!]
Darrellll replied to Chrishazle's topic in General Discussions
Seriously, I believe you will bring significant worth to this discussion. I personally like individuals on this platform that possess comprehensive knowledge of their automobiles, including the distinctions between various years and models. Furthermore, when reviewing my wager once again, it seems that you are indebted to me in the amount of 100 francs. You hail from Zurich, a city situated in the German-speaking region of Switzerland. However, in your prospective nation of residence, I believe the cost of a cup of coffee is around 100 francs. Therefore, you could just purchase a coffee for me over the next summer. During a conversation with my partner, we mutually agreed to revisit Europe for a chunk of the summer, with a specific intention to spend some time in Switzerland. During the previous summer, we spent some time in St. Moritz. However, I did not have the same level of affection for it as I had before. Consequently, I embarked on a road trip, seeing many ski towns, which I found to be really enjoyable. The following route is highly recommended for you to take once you get your automobile. I have always had a preference for spending summers in the mountains, and this particular route effectively linked together all the finest mountain communities, culminating in the magnificent Grimsel Pass. -
Acquiring a (fresh) R8 [Assistance Needed!]

I am certain that this individual is from the German-speaking region of Switzerland, and I am willing to wager one hundred Francs on it. The Italian team would have chosen a Lamborghini, while the French team would be too fatigued from working a full 35 hours last week to compose a lengthy piece of writing. In my honest opinion, Switzerland is undeniably one of the most exceptional locations on the planet. May fortune favour you in your pursuit, and may the day come when we reside in close proximity. Furthermore, as a community on the r8 forum, it is imperative that we collectively contribute funds to purchase EZ a second-generation vehicle, so ensuring that he has both automobiles. He would respond with a comprehensive and accurate 3-page post. -

Have you ever reached a definitive conclusion or understanding of the matter? My device exhibits the same behaviour.

Hello, how may I assist you? It is necessary to evaluate the vehicle's condition, taking into account whether it has been well maintained and mostly used on the highway. If these conditions are met, it has the potential to be a decent vehicle. An acquaintance purchased a sprinter van with an exceptionally high mileage. This vehicle was formerly used for transporting a small number of goods between London and Edinburgh. Remarkably, the van performed almost as well as a brand-new one.

Are you aware of any methods to rectify the situation?

Hello everyone, I need assistance. I have seen that the paint on my automobile seems to have dripped over the chrome grill and lettering. The bodywork remains in its original condition since it has never undergone any repainting. I am uncertain about the cause or solution of the issue, however as I was driving, I saw another vehicle of the same kind experiencing a similar problem. Assistance would be much appreciated.

In my opinion, the windscreen is the only flat and smooth surface available, and I personally use the 'goodmans' variant.

There is a fault in the heater circuit of the bank. There is one sensor, number two. Or anything said in a very same manner. I am uncertain if the female terminals are located on the engine loom or the sensor loom side. If the wires are located on the engine loom side and you still have the original sensor, you may extract one of the wires, together with the crimped-on terminal, from its plastic socket. This wire can then be used to assess the tension of the female terminals in the corresponding socket. It is possible that the weak tension might be due to someone tampering with and opening one of the probes during diagnostic. Is the heating circuit supplied with a 12-volt power source? It is necessary to inspect the continuity of the wires connecting the ECU socket and the sensor socket. Typically, the resistance should be below 0.4 ohms, while Kia specifications allow for a resistance below 1 ohm. Additionally, ensure to verify the continuity between the wires and the ground. It should exhibit an infinite resistance (indicating an open circuit). If any megaohms value is obtained, it is imperative to thoroughly investigate any potential electrical leakage to the ground. I have seen instances where looms coming into contact with the side of the ECU bracket have resulted in many engine loom problems. I have had instances when the wires have broken within the protective covering next to the tightly secured connection point. As a precautionary measure, I often apply a little force to each wire at the back of the socket (specifically the end of the wiring harness near the sensor, not the electronic control unit) to check for any signs of weakness or breakage. After completing all the necessary tasks, it would indicate that the new sensor is defective. Although uncommon, it is possible for the sensor itself to be defective, even when using components provided by the dealer. I trust that the information provided is beneficial.

May I know the specific trouble code, please?
