  1. If the invoice indicates 'no,' then it was not replaced. Request a comprehensive service at an independent provider and specify the replacement of the fuel filter. Additionally, a diagnostic assessment may be warranted if the performance is erratic. Possibly malfunctioning spark plugs or a deteriorating coil pack. Consider hiring a proficient mobile mechanic for house repairs. Could conserve a substantial amount.
  2. Continue to fill until overflow occurs; you will be astonished by the volume that may be added prior to this event.
  3. My PHEV Premium Plus lacks the strip. Only the headlights function as daytime running lights. This is the highest grade PHEV, suggesting that the LED strip daytime running lights are exclusive to the Turbo S Premium Plus, akin to the premium taillights. This is quite foolish.
  4. Both are premium engine oils that comply with BMW specifications. In my opinion, additives are unnecessary if oil changes are performed every 5,000 to 7,000 miles. If Cera Tec has enhanced the smoothness of your engine's operation, there is no justification for abstaining from its usage. Does it have elevated mileage?
  5. I am experiencing an issue with my 2022 Sorento where the problem persists and the vehicle randomly turns off throughout the night and sometimes during the day without any apparent cause. Unfortunately, a solution for this problem has not been found yet. I have been engaged in a prolonged dispute with the dealer for about two years on this matter.
  6. I have seen this phenomenon on my current automobile, as well as on my previous vehicle. Although the control arms seem to be in good condition, one of them is likely to be inside damaged. This can only be discovered after it is eliminated. I need to update the front control arms on my automobile annually. When a ball joint is impacted, it undergoes oscillations in both the forward and backward directions. The occurrence of this issue during braking may lead to the mistaken assumption that it is connected to the disc or pads. Typically, I see that as an indication to replace the control arms. Both of them are positioned on the strut. The right side will be the correct position. When the left side of the automobile's tires get worn, the car produces a metallic rubbing noise when it does a right turn. There is no sound when the right side is worn. There is just a judder sensation experienced while using the brakes.
  7. What is the distance travelled? The gearbox requires maintenance every 38,000 km.Has it skipped a scheduled maintenance? There is a learning mode that I feel adjusts the clutch packs to their optimal settings. However, I was under the impression that doing such a task was not necessary after an oil change. I had my vehicle repaired last year, and it did not have any impact on the gear shifts.
  8. 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.
  9. Is your car compliant with Euro 6 regulations and has it been classified as Euro 5?
  10. 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?
  11. It seems that you had favourable weather conditions. I hope that tomorrow is same to today.
  12. There is nothing more impressive than the fully loaded Renntransporter 😎
  13. I would recommend inspecting the strut mount or drop link once again.
  14. Is the click sound indicative of the reflector transitioning to the high beam position?
  15. I believe the same may be stated of several drivers as well! 😉
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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%.
  19. Negative. After its most recent high-temperature operation, the oil will have accumulated at the bottom. Simply drain it without making any changes.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
