  1. Could this use the 38-pin HHT diagnostics port located in the engine compartment, considering that it could be too early for the OBD 16-pin port? However, I lack expertise in this matter.
  2. Is your car compliant with Euro 6 regulations and has it been classified as Euro 5?
  3. Can you confirm that this vehicle is exempt from the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ)? Are 2014 MB diesel vehicles classified as Euro 5 rather than Euro 6?
  4. It seems that you had favourable weather conditions. I hope that tomorrow is same to today.
  5. There is nothing more impressive than the fully loaded Renntransporter 😎
  6. I would recommend inspecting the strut mount or drop link once again.
  7. Is the click sound indicative of the reflector transitioning to the high beam position?
  8. I believe the same may be stated of several drivers as well! 😉
  9. No, Lane Keep Assist cannot be permanently deactivated since it is a mandatory safety function in accordance with Euro ENCAP/EU regulations. The option to disable it is only available for each individual journey.
  10. Indeed, I am aware of the current situation since I have examined real-time data using an OBD scanner. Perhaps there is a range of 5-95, or perhaps 7-94 (some estimation is required), but there is certainly a margin both above and below the condition of charge. Furthermore, practical testing has shown the existence of a buffer zone, located at the discharged end, which provides a certain level of protection.
  11. It is important to consider that while the dashboard shows 0%, the battery is really at around 6-7%, and when the dashboard shows 100%, the battery is approximately at 95%.
  12. Negative. After its most recent high-temperature operation, the oil will have accumulated at the bottom. Simply drain it without making any changes.
  13. Note that the first and second generations of R8 vehicles have distinct Quattro systems, with the first using a viscous coupling system and the latter employing a Haldex system. The gen2 model has increased tolerance to variations in diameter, as seen by the compatibility with a wider range of standard tyre sizes.
  14. I concur with the need of deactivating the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system when driving off-road, particularly while operating in low-range mode. On a couple occasions, I neglected to deactivate the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) system while attempting to ascend very steep grassy slopes. Each of my LR's had difficulties and were immobilised throughout their climb - not desirable. When the DSC is off, the tyres spin excessively without any break or dramatic effect.
  15. Why not provide these equations to the dealer? Only the individuals in question possess the knowledge of the specific terms and circumstances that are applicable, and they alone have the authority to assess the trade-in value.
  16. I received mine as well, but I discarded it.
  17. While I can see the attractiveness of the mesh grille, I personally like the traditional aesthetic. I was dissatisfied with the unimpressive licence plate holder positioned in the centre, hence I chose to get a Euro grille from R8-Stuff. My vehicle is black, and the silver grille in the centre of the black colour scheme looks aesthetically pleasing.
  18. I have an intake component installed on my device, but I am unsure of its specific kind. Unfortunately, I have not yet had the opportunity to disassemble it and identify its exact nature. I also searched online to see if I could find anything comparable, but I found nothing. Additionally, it is equipped with a 1k Motorsport tune and a quicksilver exhaust.
  19. I concur, I too like being presented with challenges, but I am not inclined to participate in a whole marathon till its conclusion. In my opinion, it seems that you have not yet encountered the appropriate supermodel.
  20. I purchased a thermostatic housing that included a new thermostat and cap, and I performed the same thing. After seeing the significant inferiority of the previous cap, I decided to test the new cap as a first step. Surprisingly, the new cap successfully resolved the issue without requiring any more modifications.
