  1. I anticipate that it will be costly. How hot is it outside? Do you happen to have a scanner on hand? When the temperature drops below +10°C, the injectors and their back pressure become important. The pressure on the overflow rail is 10 bars. Additionally, starting can be a challenge if the overflow rail pressure valve is malfunctioning. Under freezing temperatures, one 2009 X-trail would not start due to two faulty injectors.
  2. Many views, but no replies so far... some other ideas: 6b: I stumbled into an old Galaxy TAB3 T365 in a drawer not long ago. 6c: I found an app called "Head Unit Reloaded" that seems to provide an Android Auto experience on a tablet by utilising the phone, thus supporting all the newer navigation apps. It's old, but it seems to run GoogleMaps, AlpineQuest, and an old version of "Here!" so I'm wondering if I should use it standalone.I would greatly value feedback or accounts from others who have been through this process earlier.
  3. Oh, I see! A 6a has just occurred to me: 6a: supplement the phone's screen with an inexpensive portable monitor
  4. My 2017 C350e S205 equipped with Audio 20 NTG5 has me researching how to install Android Auto. Any feedback from those who have installed it in a comparable vehicle would be greatly appreciated. In no particular sequence, here are my current thoughts: You may get a new head from AliExpress, but there are a lot of choices and people have different opinions on them. I haven't found any information on how to do this or where to purchase the parts, so I'm going to have to replace the head (and what other bits, maybe?) with later ones that enable Android Auto. Install the integrated automation box; nevertheless, I am unsure that the car's DAB radio and the satnav directions can coexist. Using another AliExpress purchase, install a standalone Android Auto screen. • The quickest solution, however it would be visually strange to have two dashboard displays. Put the phone in a standby mode alongside the original head and make do with the reduced display. Something I haven't considered yet...?
  5. Why do I consistently get this issue every time I start the car? I have reset everything.
  6. A QR code sticker will be located on the passenger side B pillar. Utilise a QR code reader on your mobile device to reveal the location of the batteries within the vehicle. I recently acquired a replacement auxiliary battery for my E350 from Tayna Batteries for £50.99, including postage, which arrived the following day. Simple to execute, if you own a little spanner; no need to incur garage expenses. In 2022, I acquired a replacement main battery from them: the F21 Varta Start-Stop Plus AGM Car Battery, 12V 80Ah, for £144.96 delivered.
  7. I possess an Evoque P300e and a Z4. Both vehicles are excellent.
  8. I have installed a resonant GPF delete on my Hyundai; perhaps this may be a solution for the Sportage to mitigate the problem?
  9. Hello, I have read the GPF thread regarding issues, but I am uncertain whether it pertains to the full hybrid models or the 148bhp variants as well.
  10. I have been researching Sportages for several weeks and intended to schedule a viewing until I encountered some articles concerning the GPS systems. Given that I only undertake relatively short commutes to and from work, I am concerned it may be a problem. Do all petrol models experience issues, or only specific ones? I am examining the 2023 - 2024 1.6 T-GDi GT-Line, which I believe is a conventional non-hybrid vehicle. What additional prevalent issues should be monitored in these models? I am presently driving a 2023 Hyundai I20N, which is the most dependable vehicle I have owned. I was concerned that the Sportage might be underpowered, but I discovered several firms providing remaps that exceed 200 bhp, which would be optimal. Has anyone had theirs remapped?
  11. Competent branded battery. Others are known to provide inadequate power and possess a limited lifespan.
  12. Precisely! At 3,000 RPM, it resembles a four-cylinder engine revving at 2,000 RPM. Someone will undoubtedly calculate and provide the precise value of 2k.
  13. The 1.0 L Auto Picanto reaches 3000 RPM while gradually accelerating in first gear. However, it does not exhibit the characteristics of 3000 rpm, possibly owing to its three-cylinder configuration. Without a tachometer, I would have been unaware of the very high revs.
