  1. I presume your vehicle is more recent than mine (May '17), which may account for the absence of required repairs on yours. The inspection video explicitly indicates that my front suspension is under recall; thus, I will pursue this matter further. Notably, the service assistant failed to inform me, but I have already addressed this issue with her and am determined to resolve it. Had she acted accordingly, I would not have departed from the dealership until I uncovered the truth. As a follow-up inquiry, how were you informed about the recall or the need to verify?
  2. They did not respond to me. Additionally, they must address a leaky F/O/S driveshaft seal, but that is a separate issue. If they do not call by noon tomorrow, I fully plan to see them in the afternoon.
  3. Greetings, everyone - I have a question and would appreciate any insights. Yesterday, my E43 had its first service. Upon conclusion, the dealer provided a video of the ocular inspection. The technician in the video indicates that the front suspension (struts) are subject to a recall and states that the repairs have not been completed due to the extensive nature of the operation, necessitating an additional visit. Notably, the service customer assistant made no reference to it when she provided me with the 'report,' and it is absent from the checklist sheet. I called today to make plans and, after a prolonged wait on hold, was informed that they will return my call (I have not yet received it). Has anybody else had recall work performed on their E43s? Can anybody provide guidance in obtaining a conclusive explanation? Any counsel or sharing of experiences would be much welcomed. PS. I have seen that E43s in the United States are subject to many recalls, although I cannot discover any information about the UK.
  4. I provide electricity to my rear Nextbase dashcam using the provided cable connected to the power outlet in the trunk, discreetly securing the cable as needed. Indeed, one may see the lead; but, who gazes backward?
  5. As already said. This appears to be a boost or sensor problem rather than a gearbox issue.
  6. It seems to be a low battery issue with one of the sensors, albeit I lack expertise in this area.
  7. I recommend consulting your insurance carrier, since I know of one insurer that does not provide coverage for vehicles that have been 'wrapped,' either entirely or partly.
  8. Hello, I own a 2016 CLA 220d AMG Shooting Brake. Upon completely activating the vehicle, it oscillates back and forth, seemingly seeking to engage a gear autonomously. Despite having replaced the valve body, serviced the gearbox, and conducted an intermediate service, the issue remains. What I have read pertains to the potential involvement of a continuously variable gearbox (CVT) or solenoids. Someone provide us with a hint before I submerge it in a river.
  9. The standard size would suffice; nevertheless, I would like a broader brake pedal for enhanced comfort.
  10. Does anybody know whether there is a wider brake pedal option compatible with a right-hand drive 2016 BMW N55 M2?
  11. Expressing gratitude! I just purchased a pre-owned A5. The vehicle is a 2019 A5 SLINE model, in white. The vehicle is equipped with an EA888 2.0 engine that produces 190 horsepower. It has a DQ381 gearbox. The exterior features include black mirrors, black side skirts, a sunroof, a black rear Audi emblem and a small piano black spoiler. The wheels are sized 255/35 R19. The exhaust produces a pleasant growling sound upon starting and when driving, especially when the accelerator pedal is pressed. It is difficult for me to determine whether the exhaust has been relocated. I will be inspecting the oil change in the near future, thus I will monitor it closely. Congratulations to all those involved in the operation of the machinery. I had long harboured a desire for it, and now I have successfully actualized it.
  12. Dear gentlemen, I have just acquired a 2019 Audi A5 Sline. The vehicle was equipped with 19-inch tyres that had dimensions of 255/35 R 19. The tyre has a significantly reduced profile. In the near future, I will need the replacement of two tyres. Do you believe that there is enough room in the wheel arch for the tyre and its ability to be manoeuvred, specifically for a 255/40 R19 tyre?
