Just one sensor, under the steering column, by the driver's left knee, if that helps anybody. Like other Fords of its era, I think this one is pretty standard. As the heating was turned on, the temperature on the scanner rose from 30°C with 10° ambient to 40°. Except for one, every sensor reads ambient. Got a new one on the way.

I am grateful for your reply. This weekend, I will install Forscan on a laptop that I have. I'll verify that with what I have. Attach a report if I am unable to identify a solution or if additional data is available. With two temperature controls, you'd think it would act differently on each side, but I can't be sure. I hope it has, because I expect to see two readings.

That's an unusual problem with the temperature control in your Galaxy! Having to crank it up to 26C just to be cosy sounds like a major hassle, especially considering how slowly it has been increasing. Did anything out of the ordinary occur or did you get any codes when you attempted the calibration? Including that information might assist in determining if the issue lies with the sensor or not.

Hello everyone, My 2013 Galaxy has a 2L diesel engine and dual zone air conditioning. With the exception of the fact that I need to dial it up to around 26 degrees Celsius in order to achieve a pleasant temperature, everything is fine. Once I've set it, the temperature stays the same regardless of the weather. I don't think it can go higher than 27, and the temperature I've had to set it to has been steadily rising for some time! I haven't scanned it yet, but I'm curious as to where the temperature sensor is—it seems like the most likely culprit—so I can gauge the scope of the necessary repairs. I want to mention that I have already attempted the calibration with the heater controls. Much obliged

I hope you can find some helpful tips and information about fixing issues on this site. It's a great resource for many things, RR. If you have any, feel free to share them. Have fun!

This is my first car after ten years of driving BMWs and Coopers. I am looking for something cosy because I am getting older, haha.

I hope you enjoy your new horse just as much as I have mine for the past decade and a half.

I'll have to take care of it, but I'm hoping so. Thank you.Is this all you've got?

I have faith that you will savour it and travel countless miles while grinning 😃 😊

Hello everyone! I'm new to the Evoque and I'm really enjoying it so far. I'm hoping to pick your brains for some riding tips and tricks. 🙂

From what I can tell, this man is an EQC expert.

Regrettably, I am unsure of the time it took to resolve because the poster vanished. This is terrifying; I (naively) thought that the owner was responsible for fixing a leased vehicle that broke down for reasons beyond the lessee's control. I wish you the best of luck in resolving this matter.

,,Consequently, I jumped in April and leased a pre-registered EQC 400 AMG Line Edition from MB Finance instead. Given the unknowns surrounding the EV project, we figured it would be best to lease rather than buy, and I can use the lease as a trial run. The 400BHP monster is dirt cheap to run thanks to nighttime charging at 7.5 ppkwh and the EQC, which was an actual WOW moment. My wife got a text message from MB stating there was a high voltage battery fault after about three weeks and a thousand miles. Curious, because we had driven the car the day prior with a battery charge of approximately 60% and no issues whatsoever. Whatever the case may be, EuropCar dropped off a loan C-Class that evening and the car was completely dead when the AA arrived. We dragged the EQC onto a flat bed and took it to our local dealer the following day, May 4, 2024. It has been there ever since. We were upgraded from a C Class to an EQB 350 after only five days, and we have been enjoying it ever since. We haven't received any updates from MB via phone calls, and every week when I call, I'm informed that the battery is being shipped from Germany. However, it has been more than a month and the battery is still not here. During my initial contact with their assistance, I mentioned my intention to reject the vehicle. However, it appears that this request never reached MB, as I was informed this week that their rejection process takes 8 weeks. It would be nice if it seemed like MB were bothered, even though I know things fail.''

From what I recall, this is one of the previous threads regarding EQC battery failure:

Yeah, they mentioned that there's a global shortage, so the battery is currently on backorder. Thus, there has been a five-month holdup with no estimated time of arrival (ETA)! Wow, that leasing company is absolutely ridiculous. The two sections of the terms and conditions that they are citing are... Two things are stated: first, that the vehicle should be returned in good working order; and second, that they can continue charging if I do not surrender it. It seems a little unfair that they can keep charging me every month forever without doing anything about it! We will have to wait for the outcome of my ongoing claim with the solicitor's firm. Even though it's a lease, I don't think Mercedes should be held responsible for the repairs they're doing, so I was wondering if anyone else has had good luck with them.

Using the search function, you should be able to locate several threads discussing EQC HV battery failures. We didn't always hear the final outcome, and I do recall hearing about long delays. Regrettably, the EQC was withdrawn from sale three years ago after a brief and relatively modest run. By now, it should be obvious that MB does not carry replacement batteries, and the cost of having one made might even outweigh the car's current market worth. (As someone who isn't a lessee!) Your remarks regarding the lease seem quite strange to me. I suppose it's all up to the terms and conditions, but it seems really unfair to have to keep paying for something that you're not getting—an EQC—even after the contract has ended. Ideally, a leasing expert will be able to provide some guidance.

Salutations, tous, Can anyone else relate to this? I'm having trouble understanding my EQC. Since its high-voltage battery failed entirely on May 23, 2026, my EQC has been waiting for a replacement at Mercedes-Benz Teesside. There has been no update on the estimated delivery date or the status of the vehicle's repair nearly five months after multiple escalations to Mercedes-Benz UK. The situation is exacerbated because my 36-month lease expired on September 5th, but Lex Autolease is withholding collection of the vehicle until it has been repaired. The third month of my informal extension is almost upon me! Lex is adamant that payments must continue, and Mercedes-Benz UK refuses to consider any goodwill until the repair is finished. Because of the unpredictability, I have even cancelled my replacement vehicle. The monetary ramifications and total absence of timelines are exceedingly annoying, but at least I have an EQB courtesy vehicle. Has anyone else had to wait for a battery replacement or successfully gotten Mercedes to give them an update or fix the problem? I would love to hear about your experiences!

Apologies for the typo, but it is a 68 plate. Thank you for the correction.

Do you mean a Venga with the number 68 on the side? The first plate would be a 60 (or an extremely late 59) because Venga's didn't arrive in the UK until 2010. According to rpaco and Zebster, it may take some gimmickry to get the system to recognise things. This is exactly what happened to my daughter on her 14-plate. She experienced one corner reporting low, meaning the sensor was still reading, but due to the cold, that wheel may have dropped below the alert threshold. A little air pressure, five miles of running, and it's good to go. Obviously, if the sensor isn't giving any readings at all, it might be past its expiration date or the battery may be dead. If you need to replace it, you can do it by looking inside the tyre, as the TPMS sensor is actually part of the valve. When TPMS systems were initially implemented, they were incredibly costly to replace (as is the case with any new technology). However, now that they are considered a replaceable part, they are relatively inexpensive, and tyre shops are usually prepared to handle them if you ever need a replacement. The cost should be reasonable, considering that a Venga is obviously not an exotica. Based on my research, it is expected that you will replace the battery in your TPMS when you replace your tires, as it is designed to last around 10 years, which is the same interval as when you replace your tires. However, that schedule can become disorganised due to things like punctures requiring tyre replacement mid-cycle.

This happens to mine every year as the weather gets colder and the pressures drop a little. I notice that it needs a bit more air in the tires before I go for a half-hour ride. The body's systems need time to adjust to the new demands.

Has it gone blank or is that corner still giving readings? The sensor is most likely still operational and the system has not reset if it is reading... I don't know if it's a manual process on your vehicle, but mine requires me to inflate the tyre to a pressure of approximately 5 psi, then drive in a circle until the warning light goes out, and lastly, inflate it to the recommended pressure.
