  1. I highly suspect that Max would not show any concern whatsoever. Even the swiftest and most powerful luxury automobile will seem as slow and feeble as an electric milk delivery vehicle in comparison to somebody of his calibre. However, an amusing anecdote is worth mentioning.
  2. Regardless of the label, they are sufficiently large to accommodate batteries that are manufactured to their degree of affordability.
  3. I am familiar with both Vito's and Viano's. As the mileage grows, the level of care needed for maintenance also increases. Their construction quality is worse compared to vehicles such as the E class and even the C class, which might result in the occurrence of rattling noises. One of the reasons why I still have a 639 is because these forums are helpful when I need assistance. Otherwise, I would consider opting for an alternative brand, such as F, F, For, or any other suitable option. I would not anticipate the MB emblem to signify any indication of quality on these cars, particularly in recent times.
  4. What is the reason for the presence of these nonsensical posts from the aforementioned individual?
  5. I would hypothesise the presence of a potential structural deformation rather than a natural vegetation entity. To further investigate this matter, it is advisable to elevate the object in question onto a ramp and thoroughly examine all components related to suspension and steering, including links and arms. In addition, I would rotate the wheels and inspect them for any deformities or distortions. Obtain photographic evidence of road damage and proceed to file a claim with the local municipality for the necessary remedial actions.
  6. The individual has just transitioned to the "dark side" by acquiring an M340d MHT xDrive vehicle, therefore departing from their previous ownership of a 335d F31 xDrive model that had undergone a remapping process by Evolve, resulting in increased power output to 370 horsepower and 750 Newton metres of torque. I have never had a desire to get a hybrid vehicle, but it seems that there are few options available for acquiring a sufficiently agile diesel-powered vehicle in the present day. The M340 has a higher level of refinement and smoothness, while also demonstrating exceptional fuel efficiency. The improved construction of the product has resulted in enhanced performance and reduced noise levels. The frequency at which the engine disengages and enters a freewheeling state during casual driving, particularly due to its inconspicuous nature, is quite remarkable. The durability of the 48v batteries in these devices has yet to be determined. I really like the performance of the 335d, however, it is worth noting that despite the M340d having a little lower output of 340 horsepower and 720 Newton-meters of torque as standard, it exhibits comparable acceleration and even greater ease of power delivery. The ability to achieve rapid and seamless travel, particularly when surpassing other vehicles on A/B routes, only by using the low-end torque, is really remarkable. Given the ease with which these models may be tuned via the OBD connection, I will undoubtedly be enticed to do so....solely for recreational purposes.
  7. I express strong criticism on the selection of vehicle tyres, lacking the necessary "extra loading" capacity peculiar to SUVs, PHEVs, or EVs, for the CX60. However, it is worth noting that the tyres used in the test are not original equipment manufacturer (OEM) tyres. The wheel is equipped with a 104W XL tyre, perhaps manufactured by Goodyear, but the CX60 is equipped with either Bridgestone, Toyo, or Yokohama (18-inch) tyres with a load index of 100W. Based on my own encounter with Mazda UK, it is evident that Mazda's level of transparency is comparable to that of dark, turbid water. Therefore, it is not unexpected that they refrained from providing any comments. Koni conducted a bench test on both the "old" and "new" dampers and determined that there is little disparity between them. However, it was observed that both dampers had inadequate stiffness to be appropriately paired with the spring weights, resulting in an incongruous riding experience.
  8. Is that so? As previously mentioned, the occurrence of the issue is not constant, specifically limited to cold starts. However, there are instances when the vehicle starts without any complications.
  9. Is it acceptable to proceed in this manner? Similar to my previous experiences with other vehicles I have had, I have consistently placed it in the oil filler cap. Could you please provide information on the appropriate specification of oil for these engines?Additionally, does it have a fill capacity of 8 litres?
  10. I will comply with your request. Thank you for your input. As previously said, the issue only arises during first activation in low temperature conditions, but inconsistently.Initially, I contemplated if the observed issue may perhaps be attributed to a decrease in oil pressure, possibly influenced by the somewhat lower temperatures seen during the mornings. I will proceed by doing an oil and filter change as a starting point. The vehicle underwent replacement of its oil cooler gaskets due to leakage issues. Given that the previous gaskets were of an outdated kind, I am curious as to whether the appropriate oil was used during the replacement procedure.According to my understanding, the garage also performed an oil and filter change.
  11. According to my research, it has been shown that occurrences of the mentioned phenomenon are more likely to transpire in colder climates, mostly because to reduced oil pressure.
  12. since previously said, the observed phenomenon does not constitute a significant disturbance, since it is of short duration, lasting just a few seconds before dissipating.Intermittently, the occurrence is seen just during cold starts.After being driven, she becomes silent and refrains from engaging in the same behaviour for the remainder of the day.
  13. I apologise for the error in my previous statement. The vehicle in question is a 2011 model of the E350 V6 diesel.
  14. Greetings, individuals. In recent weeks, I have observed a little rattling sound during the first start-up of my vehicle while the engine is cold. This auditory disturbance, although not very pronounced, persists for a brief duration of several seconds before subsiding. The occurrence is not constant but rather sporadic.When the machine is in operation, it emits little noise. However, do you have any hypotheses on the potential causes of this phenomenon? Greetings
  15. I encountered this problem subsequent to the replacement of my vehicle's battery by the dealer. The functionality of comfort access, alarm, and some more functions seemed to have been deactivated. I returned the car and the DME Control Module had to be re-programmed.This solution resolved the problem in my case. The vehicle in question is the 2012 X6 50i.
  16. Was the inclusion of a split seat not offered as a standard feature by the manufacturer?
  17. It seems to be an aesthetically pleasing piece of decoration, prompting my want to get a pair, specifically two units. It is time to initiate the activation of the Electronic Power Control system (EPC).
  18. It is recommended to install a plastic cover on the arm of the hinge. One aspect is the provision of a protective covering for the electrical harness associated with the illumination of the licence plate. I do not recall seeing any objects affixed to the carpet in my vicinity.
