Best of luck, friend.

Upon reflection, if you examine the rear of the turbo to the left, the brass-colored exit pipe connected to it has a clamp that attaches it to the exhaust; perhaps this is loose?
-
That is astonishing! If it can be removed, the source should be readily apparent. If the engine is cold and you place your palm near the turbo by the exhaust, you may perceive the airflow. Exercise caution, as it will rapidly get hot.

Clean the area, which may reveal the source of the new discoloration. When you refer to heat shields as being black, are you indicating the vertical silver shields located at the rear of the engine compartment? Is it dry black soil or oily black soil?

Thank you for your response. I do not believe it is a fuel leak, since there is no odor of gasoline in the vehicle from the pump, which I would expect given its location under the seat. Although it is sealed by a base plate under the seat, I shall re-enter and examine it. There is unequivocally no leaking from the fuel injectors, as I have inspected for leaks post-drive and detected neither the odor of petrol nor any indications of leakage. The gasoline seems to deplete mostly in lower gears when driving in urban areas; however, while traveling on the A road at around 60-70 mph and at 2500-3000 RPM, the fuel gauge appears accurate. Thank you once again for your response; I will reposition the rear seat and reassess the pump.

Greetings, everyone. I am experiencing a problem with my E46 (2001). Recently, the engine warning light illuminated. I purchased a code reader and received this code. P0313 Insufficient petrol in the tank. 2. Defective spark plugs and ignition wires 3. Defective injectors 4. Vacuum Leaks 5. Defective Fuel Sender Unit 6. Fuel Sender Unit harness is either open or shorted. 7. Inadequate electrical connection in the fuel sender unit. Frustrated by being overcharged by garages, I decided to do the job myself; while I am not a mechanic, I possess the necessary skills. I began troubleshooting. I replaced the fuel pump. Engine warning light persisted. Replaced the air intake pipe. Engine warning light remained on. Replaced the spark plugs. Engine warning light remained on. Replaced the fuel injectors. Engine warning light remained on. Replaced the Disa valve. At last, there is no engine warning light; but, I am now using double the amount of gasoline, particularly in the lower ratios. I reinstalled the original Disa valve, nevertheless excessive fuel consumption persists. I now comprehend the code. P0102 1. Malfunctioning mass air flow sensor 1. Air intake leaks 2. Contaminated mass air flow sensor 3. Contaminated bulk air filter The mass air flow sensor harness is either open or short-circuited. 5. Inadequate electrical connection in the mass air flow sensor circuit I replaced the whole MAF, however it continues to use excessive gasoline. I am perplexed; I have reviewed all my work and verified everything, only substituting the old with the new, and everything seems OK. Does anybody have any suggestions, please? Unless there is an electrical defect, which seems unlikely as fuel consumption was satisfactory prior to the replacement of any components. I would be grateful for any assistance.

The charger door is inoperable - any suggestions?
Paulinelinker replied to CheresX's topic in General Discussions
The manual release cable is used for instances where the charging cord becomes lodged. It seems that the standard door lock solenoid has malfunctioned. Not unusual. Dealer warranty assignment. I consistently lubricate my with silicone spray. Inserting and extracting it to ensure the removal of debris. -
Thank you everyone for the kind reception. Thus far, everything is ok. 🙂

I just acquired my first 2015 Evoque, having desired one for an extended period. Previously, I opted for practical, inexpensive vehicles. However, with my father's recent passing, I decided to embrace life and pursue something I had longed for. Thus far, everything is satisfactory; I am really enjoying it! I wish you everyone a wonderful day. Thank you

Updating the map is a commendable concept; however, what is the procedure for doing it? -

Paulinelinker replied to Paulinelinker's topic in General Discussions
Hello, I attempted the procedure, but regardless of my approach, the screen does not go blank as shown in some YouTube videos. I have reset the device, which resulted in the loss of all my favorite GPS locations that I often used, but the issue remains unresolved. -
My car's GPS persistently displays a route from Swansea to our residence, despite our never having been there. Additionally, it sometimes indicates our location in the Bristol Channel. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thank you.

W211 OM642 new glow plugs malfunctioning.

Ensure that the voltage of the glow plugs corresponds with the output of the relay. -
CLK320 Boot Initialisation Problem
Paulinelinker replied to Darrellll's topic in General Discussions
They are prevalent for the movable lever component that you pull to secure it in the upward position. If it does not descend completely, the emergency key action will not activate. Ensure it is completely lowered before turning the key, and then operate the lever once more. -

It is arriving now.

It is not inherently true; one must review the sales terms and conditions. For instance, from a renowned retailer's website. "7.8 Each Product shall remain our property until full payment has been received or the Product has been delivered to you, whichever occurs later, at which point ownership will transfer to you."

Excellent enhancement; it will surpass most German brands, of that I am certain. 👍

Indeed, only the highest quality is acceptable these days. 🤣

How to activate the front passenger seat heating?
Paulinelinker replied to Paqngo's topic in General Discussions
Activate Hey Kia in the voice command settings. Upon activation, it may thereafter be enabled via voice commands. Additionally, you may activate the voice command by pressing the button on the steering wheel. For instance, you may state: "Hey Kia, activate the passenger heated seat to level 3." Activate the driver's heated seat to level 3, Kia. Activate the heated steering wheel, Kia. You may deactivate them in the same manner or adjust the levels. -
If the air springs are original, I would consider replacing them at the age of 10 years, since their lifespan is likely nearing its end.
