One would assume that functional brakes following any engine failure (whether electric or internal combustion) would be a legal mandate, alongside steering capabilities. I assume that you were unable to brake or steer upon impact, which contradicts your assertion that the brakes and steering were merely heavy. Merely inquisitive!

I consistently advocate for initiating with the utmost simplicity when addressing such challenges. Given its intermittent nature followed by a non-drivable issue, have you verified that all ground connections are secure and free from corrosion? There are numerous items in the new BMWs, including some located beneath the front carpeting. If it has been malfunctioning for some time, it may have become detached beyond its capacity to ground, or the vehicle may have experienced prior water intrusion, resulting in mild corrosion of the ground connection. A friend of mine with an X6M recently encountered a comparable issue. He took it to an independent mechanic who replaced numerous components without resolving the problem. I visited, lifted the front passenger carpet (the passenger side on a left-hand drive UK vehicle, near the A-pillar just south of the glove box), cleaned and tightened the three grounding points located there (the bottom two were corroded due to his wife leaving a window open, which soaked the passenger side years prior). After pressing the button, the vehicle started without any subsequent issues.

Merlin Purple B8.5 Audi RS5s exist, although they are exceedingly rare.

Purple has never constituted a conventional colour. However, if you own sufficient funds and are prepared to allocate them, you may select any colour of your preference.

My previous vehicle (ALFA) had a voltage of approximately 11.5v due to its failing battery, which resulted in numerous malfunctions, such as ABS and stability warning lights, as well as a flashing odometer. These issues were solely attributable to the low voltage and were resolved with the installation of a new battery.
-
12.6 volts indicates a fully charged state, while 12 volts signifies approximately 40% charge, or less than 40% if it is an AGM battery. Utilise a suitable charger to fully charge it and observe the results. 13.9 volts indicates that the alternator is functioning properly. The initial voltage of 11.7 V indicates it is less than 10% charged, rendering it effectively depleted.

The Haynes manual, number 3253, unequivocally addresses that engine. I have utilised it for several years for my various petrol models; please refer to the photographs below, including the page indicating its applicability to your specific engine.

Have you altered or transmitted any settings to the vehicle via the Mercedes me App? I have observed that this action occasionally results in unexpected modifications to the settings.

A comparable incident occurred with my Ranger truck when the coolant level became too low owing to a loose hose clamp. I tightened the clamp and replenished the coolant, but the temperature fluctuated significantly. It was ultimately determined that a substantial airlock was present. Following adequate bleeding, regular service was restored.

Is it an LED light bulb?...If that is the case, they are polarity sensitive, which may indicate that the orientation is incorrect.

I suppose the internet was wrong. Querying “inter-cooler” on the Mazda parts website yields a singular heat exchanger part number for the CX-90, seemingly irrespective of the Turbo/Turbo S differentiation.

Where did you find that the intercooler is different?

Disregard the recorded code. It consistently arises in the absence of any issues. Formulating an opinion on the matter is challenging without seeing it firsthand. I would first examine the intake shut-off system.

I have been utilising this particular item for a brief period. It is satisfactory, and it can be downloaded on your phone for use with CarPlay, if available. It is worthwhile to download and experiment with. -
In the words of Martin Brundle, you are 'a day late and a dollar short.'

I am genuinely with you. You are conversing with an individual who pursued a person relentlessly for £30 worth of damage to a fence post on my driveway, which ultimately incurred a cost of £95. This endeavour required nearly a year of follow-up, all due to their lack of courtesy in failing to knock on the door and apologise for damaging the post. I would have responded with, "No worries, it happens frequently." I only took that action since no other car was involved, and my method prevents any linkage of the claim to a driver, therefore avoiding any rise in premiums. If I had to file a claim with my car insurance, the situation would have been markedly different. Although these companies assure that it will not impact my no-claims status or raise my premiums, I am still obligated to disclose it upon renewal, and they will inevitably find a way to disadvantage me. I believe the penalty for evading a road traffic collision is likely excessive, given individuals may claim they were unaware of the incident. That was the sole message I intended to convey. We are in a predicament regardless of the circumstances.

It is exasperating when Sentry fails to meet expectations; yet, I pose a sincere inquiry: what actions would you have taken if you have evidence and a registration? Review your insurance and face elevated premiums? The sole occasion it has been advantageous to me was when it involved a colleague, allowing me to discreetly persuade them to cover the repair costs personally instead of utilising their insurance. I would never have made such a claim, however. Regarding that dent. I am unable to assist you with South London; but, I had four distinct dents removed off my brand new Y by an individual in Wickford, who charged me £50 and completed the task in a matter of minutes.

Electrical system intermittent in MK3 Mondeo Ghia X

There is no requirement to modify the original; simply present the outcomes below. Simply state the method employed for obtaining the readings. Measure directly at the battery, from the lighter socket, or utilise an OBD instrument or dashboard diagnostics. They all exhibit modest variations but should yield a consistent overall voltage pattern. 16 volts may indicate an elevated level and suggest a deficient battery necessitating a high charging rate.
