  1. Have the battery assessed to verify its condition; if you anticipate needing a replacement within the next year or two, why invest £25 in a monitor? You have recently increased the price of a battery by £25. Alternatively, one might get a high-quality battery to ensure peace of mind for the subsequent four years.
  2. Can you place your jack on a suitable piece of lumber to elevate its beginning height?
  3. As stated in the handbook, I possess a trolley jack and typically utilise a "strong point" for jacking; but, I have also employed the pinch welds with the addition of an ice hockey puck, which is inexpensive on eBay, among other sources.
  4. Await the moment when you begin to see the irregular gearbox and "surges" in velocity. I have been addressing that "feature" for two years, and it remains unresolved; I lack confidence in their ability to rectify it. Extremely disappointing from Mazda; I will not make another purchase.
  5. I had it replaced last year, which is why I wanted to remove it; it has been nothing but a nuisance. Is it possible that the spring is damaged and causing the error code to appear?
  6. To clarify, the vehicle is an A Class W176 A220 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY AMG Sport, Diesel, Automatic.
  7. Greetings to everybody, Any information would be much appreciated! 🙏 I own a 2014 A220 with a code for Exhaust Flap Actuator Malfunction. I essentially want to eliminate it. I have reached my limit! (laughs) I have acquired an Exhaust Valve Delete Connector Terminator Removal tool. I have many enquiries: • If I remove the actuator, replace it with a straight segment of tubing, and connect the plugs? Consider using a reader to erase any codes once again. • Will this remedy the issue of the flap malfunction? • Are there any advantages or disadvantages to doing this? Concerned that it will not operate correctly (it already does not function properly due to this problem) or that fuel efficiency may be significantly compromised after this action. • I have heard that the noise may be impacted or amplified, but it will certainly not get excessively louder or like the sound of a bag of trousers thereafter. • Is the flap a crucial component that I should avoid altering? Will it impact M.O.T. assessments? What is the diameter of the exhaust pipe if this can be accomplished? I need a straight section of pipe, maybe flared at both ends, for welding purposes. I hope someone here has had a similar experience or has relevant knowledge. Any assistance with my enquiries or more information would be much appreciated. I anticipate that once doing this, I will once again get pleasure from driving my automobile. Thank you in advance. This is the delete connection I have acquired: (I hope it is the correct one)
  8. What is the status of the fuel filter?
  9. As already said. Additionally, try it with the MAF detached and see the results.
  10. The rebate applied to the entire MSRP should enough. If gap insurance, which reimburses your complete sum in the event of an immediate accident, is unnecessary, ensure the removal of any further items they may attempt to include. The destination cost is $1,455, the colour charge is $595, and optional packages should be included in your base MSRP, totalling around $58,665 for the top Turbo S PP. Local taxes will range from $5,000 to $5,800 in addition to your MSRP. Utilise the rebate to determine the final amount you should expect to pay. A cheaper price is preferable; nevertheless, the dealer will exert considerable pressure as they attempt to include other packages, which you may elect to exclude by insisting on their removal. Some dealers have preinstalled devices such as Lojack, located next to the battery compartment and secured by two bolts.
  11. I removed the Mazda application from my smartphone less than a year after my car acquisition. I deemed it personally ineffective. I keep the Mazda Connected Services disabled in my car settings. I see no use in any of it.
  12. This is my first E60, albeit it is not my initial automobile. I previously had three E39s and never encountered any issues. I will acquire some of these later this week and provide an update, hopefully next week. What was the duration of the last two vehicles you owned?
  13. Thank you for your response; I have opted to test the TC. Executing ISTA+ and overseeing the transmission Engine Velocity + Turbine Velocity Upon obtaining the TC to Lock, there exists merely a 4 RPM variance between them, which falls within acceptable limits; hence, I conclude that the clutches are functioning adequately. While awaiting the adjustments to resolve, engage in additional driving and observe their appearance. Other factors to consider include the solenoids and maybe the clutches for D, as these control gears 3 and 5; I will provide updates as I have modifications. I heard somewhere that DrTranny initially believed it was the beginning of a film. Indeed, some individuals expressed quite favourable opinions regarding the matter; I may consider attempting it if I am unable to resolve the issue.
  14. Good day, everyone. Acquired this 2004 E60 featuring the 530i engine and 6HP19 transmission. Since acquiring it, I have experienced troubles that suggest the gears are slipping. I initially performed a service with new fluid, a pan, and a filter, which improved the situation significantly, however the issue persisted. Since last night, I have changed the four mechatronic sleeves, the double square seal, and the larger round seal. It has significantly improved, however it still occurs periodically; I am uncertain on what to examine or the subsequent steps to take. It occurs only once the automobile, engine, and gearbox have reached operating temperature. Attached is a YouTube video.
  15. I empathise with your situation with your father; I had a similar loss a few years before. Dementia is a dreadful condition. I would investigate for an air leak.
  16. I use a 32GB USB drive configured to play randomly, allowing me to listen to any of over 8000 songs.
  17. Indeed, it may be used in a conventional manner. Merely the irritating alert on the cluster.
  18. A persistent warning will be shown on the cluster if the airbag system is disabled. It may be implemented using, for instance, NCS.
  19. In what year was your automobile manufactured? Upon entering a 2009 registration, Eurocarparts indicates that part 413110180 is incompatible.
  20. If you lack confidence due to certain unfavourable reviews, get the items from Eurocarparts; nonetheless, please inform us if the image is inaccurate.
