No petrol is sold at the Tesco near me. Asda is the only option, and all they sell are 95 and B7.

I just purchased a C55 because I have always been intrigued by the prospect of a compact sedan with a powerful engine. Back where I reside in the rural, only regular gasoline and diesel are sold at the gas stations. The gasoline filler cap is labeled "Super Unleaded/RON98," and the owner's handbook instructed me to use this kind of gas. The owner's handbook also tells me that I may use Premium Unleaded/RON95 in instead of 98 if I can't find any. It's a 60-mile round trip to the closest gas station that sells 98/99. Is it safe to use 95 in the long run?

I am encountering a similar issue. May I inquire about the specific sort of glue that you used in your situation?

The jumper connecting the solenoid on the starting to the motor was provided as part of the starter assembly.

The stock relay is used, along with the original heavy wire (specifically, gauge #6, if I recall correctly), to establish a connection between the relay and the newly installed starter.

Both individuals should ensure that the cill plates are labeled as "AMG." A modification has been made. Is there any empirical data indicating the occurrence of an accident repair?

There is currently nothing I can say. Someone did left me a card when they delivered a vehicle to me earlier this month; I'll have to dig through the clutter to locate it.

I'll ask a handful of folks I know if they can help us out.

Who are you, and where is the automobile?

I bought a used one for $25 on eBay, cleaned it well, switched out the gasket and swirl flaps, and had the EGR mapped.

Unfortunately, it has not been resolved; the troublesome warranty business was involved. After contacting the private dealer I bought the vehicle from, I was told to contact the warranty provider. I finally gave up and will have to face these people in court sometime this year. It's very bad, since the vehicle has a gorgeous specification, but dealing with these private dealers and their flimsy warranties isn't worth it.

Unfortunately, after warming up the engine, I have detected a horrible rattling in the cabin of the e400 cab I just purchased for the mrs. I think the tensioner is broken, therefore I made an appointment to have Star Motors look at the vehicle next week. The beginning of our automobile ownership was not as we had hoped it would go, but such is life. The audio is embedded below:

Please accept my apologies for the delay. Unfortunately, I did not get the PCV cover with diaphragm and spring that I had bought. I upgraded to the new one today... I turned it on, and white smoke immediately began to billow out of every opening. I let it sit for a while and discovered the white smoke was coming from the exhaust (and a little quantity beneath the vehicle, not the engine room); I cranked the engine, and the amount increased dramatically. How about some other suggestions?

I'll provide an update after I've finished fitting and testing the replacement component I bought and reattached the breathing hose to. Many thanks for your assistance.

Pardon my hasty typing; indeed, it was slick with grease. The pipe was disconnected at the other end.

Yes, here is the latest information. The PCV valve was located, and a replacement has been requested. I also saw that a bottle cap had been taped over the intake and that the breather hose had been disconnected from it. Could this be what sparked such a huge fire? I figured it was the same issue with the turbo since the smoke looked quite similar to what I had seen previously. When I questioned my technician why he had bypassed the PCV prior to installing a catch can, he said that the old turbo had been doused in gasoline. The replacement PCV valve I bought should arrive by midweek, so I've reattached the pipe and removed the bottle cap in preparation. Given how much time I'll be spending stationary, I also purchased a replacement battery. Only keeps power for a day.

My license plate indicates it's for an E90 318d, and Autodoc identifies it as a 2.0 Diesel 143HP/105kW N47 D20 C. Car goo broom broom, I have no mechanical aptitude. others say the PCV is a filter, others say it's a jiggling metal valve piece at the end of a hose, and some say it's in a box at the rear of the engine. I have no idea what I'm looking for. Haha, I really have no idea.

To my ears, it's coming from the direction of the driver. We assumed the turbo was broken, so the technician removed it and reported it was caked with oil. This might have built up over time, however. I lack any aptitude for mechanics. As soon as I get home, I'm going to inspect the intake system. Regarding the PCV, I would be completely clueless.

Hi All, I can't take it any more. Over two years ago, I purchased a BMW 318 from a dealer. It began belching out blue smoke and guzzling oil. When this occurs, its strength is diminished as well. The situation is obviously undesirable. Since I wasn't able to return it, it sat for a time while I looked into buying a used turbo. I installed the turbo, and it continues to operate normally. The engine compartment was ablaze with smoke and guzzling oil. It's not always doing this, but it happens often enough that driving the vehicle is dangerously unpredictable. I am completely at a loss as to where to look next. My technician thinks it may be the oil seals, but changing them would require removing and dismantling the whole engine, which would be time-consuming and costly. Before I go out and spend a ton of money, is there anything else it may be? So much money has been invested in it that selling it for scrap seems like a waste. Any assistance is much appreciated. Thanks.

It appears you have run across the rigid and annoying guarantee system implemented by the VW group. We had a Seat corrosion problem, and the attitude, especially from the dealer, was terrible. Audi UK (which manages customer support for the Volkswagen Group) was marginally more sympathetic, but nothing was done. Since I had no positive experiences with any of the VW group's products, I sold the automobile and have no plans to acquire another one. Throughout the years, the Seat was the least dependable vehicle we've ever had. A series of minor issues (mainly electrical) and some issues with quality control cropped up.

That doesn't seem that high to me. It seems more like 500-1000ml/1000mi was what many were complaining about.

In addition, we have a '59 gas-powered car. The engine uses a camchain instead of a belt, making it significantly more modern. It's a hit with the wife. When functioning properly, it accomplishes almost all of your transportation goals. We purchased it through a franchise dealer and it was around 2.5 years old. Its engine blew out at roughly 30,000 miles, only five miles after we performed its first service. Skoda rebuilt it under warranty, but then it had intermittent sensor problems for a long time. Each required a journey to the dealer, sometimes on a flatbed, and each ended with "we plugged the computer in." It reported no problems, thus we can't make any adjustments. And since there's no problem, Skoda won't cover the inspection. Skoda UK showed little enthusiasm for fixing these issues (although I did get largely positive feedback for resolving the issues) and refused to provide an additional warranty when the original one we purchased the vehicle with ran out. A few months later, it started having trouble going into first gear when it was chilly. The problem was alleviated somewhat when we changed the clutch, but not entirely. This happened outside of the dealership system; I believe the engine was contaminated during maintenance, but I lacked the evidence and motivation to pursue Skoda UK. A new DMF or one of the selector forks was the next step the garage recommended to fix the issue. They also tried using thinner gear oil as a stopgap remedy, which helped but did not permanently fix the problem. For the time being, we have chosen to leave it alone; yet, with winter's return, everything is possible. Even though our tree falling on the driveway just missed the vehicle, I am quite hesitant to get another Skoda and would be pleased to get rid of ours. Despite the problems, SWMBO likes it and doesn't want to get rid of it, as I've already said. Unfortunately, the Octy is one of just a few of vehicles that can compete with its mix of roominess, speed, and affordability. I'm not sure about the most recent engine (220 hp), which is probably what you're considering, but I have heard of several complaints about the 197 hp gasoline found in VAG vehicles' excessive oil consumption. Truth be told, you wouldn't purchase a new vehicle if you did enough research online. All of them have problems that are either costly to fix or are being handled by inept major dealers.

In my opinion, it's merely been portrayed (poorly).

In retrospect, I merely had to unhook the horizontal flaps at the bottom to find the drain's exit point. You don't have to put the vehicle on ramps or climb under it to remove, clean, and reinstall the joker valve if you know where to feel for it.
