  1. I believe the dip beams are inadequate. I requested the dealer to elevate them to the maximum permissible level and was informed that they were already at that height. The high beam performance is satisfactory; however, the dipped beam is inferior to that of my previous vehicle equipped with xenon lights, which were themselves subpar compared to the prior halogen lights. Performance under fog is suboptimal. The Auto setting for dip sometimes exhibits a sluggish response time.
  2. It is a PCV heater located at the base of the PCV pipe, extending to the bottom of the intake manifold. In some vehicles, a heater is installed for emissions control to diminish NOx emissions via the breather system.
  3. This seems to be the guided oil pump feed, which connects to a harness at the back of the engine that passes through the base plate.
  4. I have had a total of 6 Porsche 911 cars, which included a Turbo and a Cabriolet, over a span of 40 years. However, I just decided to switch to a 2017 R8 Plus model. I have a strong recollection of all my Porsches, and I hold them in high regard. However, the presence of a V10 engine in a R8 elevates it to a superior level.

  6. Does your insurance policy provide coverage for missing keys? Certainly, it is essential to consider the rise in insurance costs associated with future claims.
  7. It is possible to purchase a fob from online marketplaces like Amazon or eBay and have a locksmith cut the blank key. However, it is necessary to have the key coded, and it is unclear if this requires an IID type code reader or whether it can only be done by the primary dealer. If it is the second option, I would expect the cost to be in the hundreds of pounds.
  8. If the suggestions provided in this discussion are ineffective, it is conceivable that the BeCM (Body electronic Control Module) is permanently inaccessible, and the only method to regain access is by using a diagnostic tool manufactured by Blackbox Solutions (such as Rovacom or Faultmate). Perform a forum search using the keyword "SM35" to get insights on the solution for your issue. I possess the requisite equipment to do this task; but, it will need the extraction of the BeCM and its subsequent dispatch to my location. Kindly communicate with me via a confidential message so that we may establish a concrete arrangement.
  9. Can you recommend the most durable sort of touch-up paint for a calliper?
  10. Greetings, everyone. Recently, I had my paint callipers coated with black powder using a process called powder coating. All of them are in excellent condition, however I just saw a little chip on one of them (measuring 2-3x2-3 mm, indicating its modest size). I am capable of refraining from intervening, but it causes me distress. Considering the supposed durability of powder coating, I am perplexed as to what might have caused any damage. Could the recent flushing of my brake fluids at the dealer be connected to this? I am not inclined to assign blame since it is a common occurrence, but I am seeking guidance. What is the most effective approach to handle this situation? 1. Should I refrain from making any changes and accept it as it is, considering its insignificance? 2. Purchase touch up paint that matches the original colour and apply it precisely to the affected area. Would conventional automotive paint be suitable? 3. Would you want to redo the powder coating on the calliper? (This option might be rather costly!) We would really welcome any input.
  11. Could you please provide me with the gentleman's website? Oneighty attends a church.
  12. It is advisable to replace the oil prior to winter storage. Constructive video:
  13. Hello I have had the lightweight and costly OZ Superforgiata wheels weighing 7.3 and 9.3 kilogrammes for a decade.
  14. The AC button is one of the first things I deactivate when I enter my daily driver (DD). It is bothersome and superfluous to have it continually activated by default, especially considering the inconvenience of having to constantly look at an orange LED.
  15. The air conditioning system consistently activates while defrosting. on the past, using the Defrost setting on your vehicle would cause the windows to get foggy until you either allowed fresh air to enter or turned on the air conditioning. Recirculating the air caused the automobile to fog up.
  16. Similarly, I am the only caretaker of my child, and no one, even my spouse, is allowed to handle them.
  17. I was taken aback, since I was certain that my first edition would... However, it occurred a significant duration in the past. I would just place it on the storage shelf that is equipped with a USB connection for Apple CarPlay.
  18. Does it lack a wireless charger for continuous use?
  19. It is possible that the auxiliary battery was also in a state of disrepair. The output of the alternator, which charges the battery, is 14.7 V. The provided information does not provide any insights into the battery. The voltage of the battery is measured in the absence of engine operation. It seems that there may be an issue with the primary battery, necessitating its replacement. Is this the original version? If this is the case, it has been executed satisfactorily.
  20. The RAV PHEV variant has consistently encountered this issue, particularly in colder climates, when the vehicle is left unattended for prolonged durations. A significant number of individuals own a compact battery booster inside their vehicles for the purpose of manually unlocking the car and afterwards connecting the booster to provide a sufficient amount of power to the 12-volt system. This enables the vehicle to enter the READY state, allowing the traction battery to subsequently recharge the 12-volt battery. Similar to others, I use a 12-volt charger throughout the winter season to replenish the battery while engaging in brief journeys or when the vehicle is idle. A brief adapter cable is used to establish a connection between the 12-volt battery and the charger, which is thereafter inserted until the battery attains complete charge. According to Toyota's recommendations for the Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), it is advised to keep the vehicle in the READY mode for a duration of 20 minutes when it is not being frequently used. There may be a potential correlation or connection to the bZ4X model.
