Oil replacement after winter storage
SkippyTom replied to jennycarlotta's topic in General Discussions
An annual oil change is recommended for low mileage vehicles. -

The V8 gearbox oil cooler is obstructed.

The flow was significantly obstructed. Currently, I am eager to examine my belongings and remove any unnecessary items if necessary. -
Unconventional worm drive hose clamp, how can it be loosened?
SkippyTom replied to Darrellll's topic in General Discussions
As per information from another Kia forum on the Stinger, the jubilee clips are equipped with removable caps. Underneath these caps, there is a standard hexagonal head that can be unscrewed. They instructed the use of a pair of pliers to remove the caps. -
Ultimately, RainX is strongly discouraged.

I also discovered this. -
It is unusual that just opening the vehicle did not free the cable lock from the car, and removing the socket from the car should have halted the charging process. However, I would want to inquire whether the time shown in the automobile is accurately set, ensuring that it is not one hour ahead or behind the real time.

Impressive!

Strange. Thank you for informing us, nonetheless.

It seems to be a Bluetooth compatibility issue.

It has been a while since I connected a phone to an NTG 4.x head unit and had a problem. I vaguely remember facing a similar issue while trying to link an iPhone with Angie's SLK55 when we initially got the vehicle. To resolve the issue, I selected the Reset option from the COMAND Settings menu and initiated the pairing procedure once again. However, the drawback is that you will forfeit any saved locations, previous destinations, and any data in the Music Register.

😂 You typically have a good sense of direction while driving an R129.

Previously had a similar issue. After some effort and contemplation, I opted to remove the snap ring off the previous shaft, which was successful on the first or second time. The replacement one was somewhat thicker, making it difficult to fit in place.

The local dealer has constantly provided assistance, although we have only required the first and second yearly servicing so far. If I remember well, we acquired a three-service package at the time of purchasing the vehicle. The subsequent maintenance will occur after 3 years, likely after accumulating around 16 or 17 thousand kilometres. Additionally, it is the first time for the MOT inspection. My wife has gotten used to a Toyota collection and return service with her prior vehicle. She has an identical item to this one. Thus far, everything has functioned well, resulting in the automobile being returned in a clean state. Therefore, I believe that the availability of dealership alternatives in the local area has a significant role.

Acquiring a (fresh) R8 [Assistance Needed!]
SkippyTom replied to Chrishazle's topic in General Discussions
You have provided almost every possible possibility. Opting for the latest/ least used option is almost always a reliable choice. If you believe you have established a connection with a supplier, I suggest acquiring a '23 model. However, it is likely that there will be much rivalry for such vehicles. -
During the time when I was experiencing issues with my adblue system, there happened to be a 0m651 van there with a mileage of 450,000 miles. The motor remained unopened and emitted a satisfactory sound. I feel that the identical motor in the United States is likewise capable of achieving high mileage.

I replaced the fan resistor after work today. It took me 33 minutes from the moment I left my workstation (which is located in my home office) until I completed the task of washing my hands.

The 2016 models did not come with Dynamic suspension as a standard feature. There will be a noticeable space between your icons in the central area of the console. I was unaware that the feature was no longer included as a standard option in the 2016 model, after having it in my first vehicle, which was a 2014 model. The experience of riding in both automobiles was really satisfactory, unlike what you are now experiencing.

An improved version provided by my friend Eric. Appreciate the fact that you do not own this particular automobile.

Malfunctioning felines will often regurgitate an error code. I have seen that Max inquired about the logging of a code and you are planning to verify it. Another method of identifying a defective automobile is by olfaction, namely by detecting an unpleasant odour like that of rotten eggs.

Are the sensors same or do they vary, and have you installed them in reverse order? Additionally, the fact that a sensor is new does not guarantee its functionality.

It is anticipated that the drains located under the windscreen wipers are obstructed by accumulated debris. Attempt to insert a slender wire into the rubber conduit that extends from the grilles situated on both ends, as well as one positioned in the centre. One possible course of action involves lifting the vehicle's bonnet, taking precautionary measures to shield the Sam and fuse box located on the driver's side, and thereafter directing a forceful stream of water down the drain. The space underneath the vehicle should be devoid of any objects or obstructions.
