  1. Any vintage wheel is a reliable choice. I like a bronze 3-piece wheel with gold hardware for a dark grey automobile.
  2. If your reading ability fluctuates, it indicates that your abdominal muscles are no longer perfectly circular.
  3. One effective method for testing sensors is by taking corners, since this allows any unstable output to be easily identified. Determining a straight line might be more challenging.
  4. Do ABS sensors provide the same results while taking a corner?
  5. By just perusing the advertisements for automobiles being sold, one may easily see a multitude of vehicles with panels that do not match. Among these, the light metallics exhibit the most pronounced inconsistencies, ranging from subtle variations in hue to wholly distinct colours. In my estimation, dark hues provide an equivalent level of difficulty, but our eyes are less sensitive to subtle fluctuations in dark colours compared to lighter ones. This is just speculative on my part.
  6. The gasoline pump is not equipped with a separate relay. Instead, it is regulated by the EKP module using a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal. The relays are mostly used for activating the DDE power supply. What is the voltage input to the EKP?
  7. Great balance, dude! Great! I will inform my friend about Quicksilver for his next R8 project. The vehicle is now in the shop for the installation of new tyres from 4 Wheelonline and I am considering an exhaust modification next.
  8. Although I often support individuals doing a thorough examination, I believe it will not be very beneficial in this case. The possible causes for the issue are either the detection of false negatives or the identification of a "implausible signal", both of which indicate a malfunctioning level sensor circuit.
  9. I own an additional cluster from a 1998 C200, but, the cost of shipping would be rather high.
  10. These are pneumatic vacuum lines responsible for adjusting the level of the headlamps, I believe.
  11. What is Stix? Are you referring to the car rental company Sixt? I recall perusing an interview with Formula 1 drivers from years ago, particularly around the period when Senna was prominent. The prevailing opinion among them was that after a race, their bodies had such a substantial amount of adrenaline that they refrained from operating vehicles on public roads for a minimum duration of 24 hours.
  12. Have you tried applying WD40 to both ends prior to proceeding with cable replacement?
  13. If you possess even a moderate level of proficiency, you might consider purchasing a pre-owned icarsoft MB2 device to detect and identify error codes. Additionally, there are certain low-cost do-it-yourself tasks that may be performed, such as eliminating and thoroughly cleaning the aperture located underneath the back pressure sensor. This aperture has the potential to get obstructed with debris. Detach and cleanse the turbo actuator by spraying it, then apply a little amount of high temperature oil to the worm gear. Perform the "resistor fix" on the intake port motor by adding a 4.7k ohm resistor (Is the resistor priced at £1?)
  14. Indeed, they have little impact on the performance of the om642 engine.
  15. The information you are looking for may be located inside a discussion I participated in a few years ago. However, I recommend verifying the accuracy of the information specifically for your vehicle.
  16. Indeed, I believe so. However, in order to access it, you will need to elevate the vehicle and remove the underpanel.
  17. Located next to the gearbox sump, the exhaust pipe is positioned.
  18. Presented here is a valuable online platform for doing price comparisons. There are further individuals. Bergerac is a renowned destination for tourists, conveniently located within a 25-minute proximity from my current location. https://www.carburants.org/prix-carburants/dordogne.24/bergerac.zpdep/ Please do a search on the internet using the keywords "prix essence" or "prix carburants" followed by the specific name of the town you are interested in. Wishing you a pleasant and enjoyable journey.
  19. It has been suggested that any modification to a motor remap has the potential to render the warranty null and void. This is a factor that should be carefully considered.
  20. Based on the information I have perused, the most recent automobiles that have been impacted are those manufactured in the year 2013.
  21. In cases when the rear subframe failure is attributed to the acknowledged problem of internal corrosion, Mercedes-Benz will provide a free-of-charge replacement, irrespective of the vehicle's service history. One challenge lies in the fact that some dealers may lack awareness or exhibit indifference, necessitating the exploration of many dealerships in order to get the intended outcome. Alternatively, it is advisable to consult online forums to identify a reputable dealer in close proximity to your location that is known to stock these particular FOC items. Subsequently, it is recommended to directly approach the identified dealer for the purchase. However, if Mercedes-Benz determines that the rust is merely rust and not connected to the documented rear subframe failure problem, they will probably maintain their position and assert that if the vehicle did not pass the annual anti-perforation body inspection at an authorised Mercedes-Benz workshop each year, then the 30-year anti-rust warranty is invalidated. Regrettably, this assertion is indeed logical, since MB would argue that had the vehicle undergone annual inspections by an authorised MB dealer, the occurrence of rust would have been detected at an earlier stage, enabling timely intervention to prevent its progression and further deterioration.
  22. In conjunction with the aforementioned valuable guidance, it is advisable to use coilies that provide adjustable damping, beyond just ride height adjustment. The potential impact is substantial, since softer tyres are better suited for navigating poorly maintained roads, harder tyres are more suitable for track use, and moderately firm tyres are suitable for travel with an element of enjoyment.
