  1. The Excel model will provide a somewhat more comfortable ride - I first test drove an Excel model before placing an order for my GR Sport. For what it's worth, both of them provided a far smoother ride compared to my previous 308 T9 hatch, which had a normal suspension.
  2. The GR Sport suspension on these mk 1 C-HR models is somewhat firmer than that of the Excel variant. Additionally, GR Sport incorporates modifications to the steering system. The soundproofing is same in both specifications.
  3. Discovered it Apply a layer of chromium on the surface. In my perspective, it seems unimpressive. I wanted a film that is transparent and distinct.
  4. Not worth the trouble or inconvenience. Occasionally, I ponder the reasons for my repeated actions. One who willingly seeks out and endures pain or hardship. Fortunately, she abstains from participating in online discussion groups. Online activist
  5. I have previously completed the task. It was unattractive. Utter disaster. I prefer not to pursue that course of action again.
  6. Greetings, everyone. Purchased the c200 for my spouse. The vehicle she had before was a black XC60. The outer door handle cups were heavily damaged as a result of her wedding band. Being black makes it more apparent. The Mercedes is silver, which makes it less conspicuous, yet I want to safeguard it. Could you kindly suggest any goods or films that you have personally tried and found to be successful? Attempted to do a search on Google, however, the results provided were only generic options that have been criticised by individuals for being incompatible with their vehicles, excluding Mercedes models.
  7. I would classify your automobile as an AMG Line model, which has a superficial resemblance to the authentic AMG variation. Are you certain that you have installed the AMG reduced springs that you mentioned? To verify the specifications, enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into a decoding website like mbepc.net. I installed Bilstein coil-overs on my C270cdi, which already had the factory-installed Sports lowered suspension. The ride was enhanced, becoming more regulated, smoother, and less prone to bouncing and excessive rebound. If you want to purchase non-OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts, I would suggest acquiring the corresponding springs and shocks.
  8. During the sales pitch, the salesperson attempted to sell me a Sportage. However, I informed him that it would not fit in my garage. In response, he mentioned that the Sportage had remote parking capabilities. Ultimately, I decided to purchase a stonic, which fits appropriately in my garage.
  9. This location is not suitable for your purpose. The EQE from 2022 still costs £75000.
  10. I have lately been examining an EQE, but, it fails to persuade me.
  11. I have used BG244 on several occasions across various vehicles, and it has consistently shown excellent performance. I saw a significant improvement in the performance of my wife's X type vehicle, as it effectively reduced the emission of smoke during acceleration.
  12. My buddy now has an empty Alfa gearbox since they made a mistake by not checking whether the filler unscrews before removing the drain cap while installing a new driveshaft. This oversight may be considered a schoolboy blunder. I will address the matter tomorrow...I have devised a tool that can replenish the gearbox by using the expansion breather. This tool will be useful if we are unable to successfully loosen the filler. Essentially, it is a large syringe equipped with a narrow copper tubing that is designed to fit into the breather recess.
  13. This instrument is a valuable asset that can be relied upon.
  14. Examine the EGR Section. The bypass valve is operated using pneumatic means but is switched electrically, which means that a fault code may not always be generated in the event of a vacuum failure. The primary purpose of the EGR is to lower the temperature in the combustion chamber in order to decrease NOx levels. Therefore, there might be some kind of correlation between these two factors.
  15. The item is a rotational speed sensor for the rear axle, specifically designed for the left and right sides. It has a part number of 211 540 24 17. The item has been replaced with a new one, specifically identified as A 211 540 30 17.
  16. You have not provided information on the part number of the new sensor or its source. If I were to visit a Mercedes dealer, I would bring both components and present them to the parts department. Alternatively, if I were to order the parts by mail, I would include side-by-side images of them. If you have made a purchase from an internet vendor and received a "compatible" component, this may be considered one of the potential hazards.
  17. It is possible that it is only a matter of chance. My stepfather has had two F30s since they were brand new. The first one was a 320d and the second one was a 318. Both cars have been driven for over 100,000 km in a span of three years and have seen few issues.
  18. Return to the dealership and instruct them to forward the photographs to Kia. Dealers are not responsible for making warranty decisions. Please provide me with a Kia vehicle. Can I assume that the automobile has had its yearly bodywork inspection?
  19. Upon careful consideration, I opted for K & N filters when examining the available options. However, it seems that there is no compatible filter specifically designed for the Gen1 facelift model. (excluding the S tronic variant) Additionally, I attempted to purchase the silicone intake hoses, but it seems that they are not currently offered for the V8 engine as well. I own a Top Gear exhaust system that is quite impressive.
  20. I much appreciate your comment, as it is quite beneficial. Thank you. Currently, I am strongly inclined towards this choice. The allure of a complete warranty and a fresh new vehicle is difficult to resist, especially when compared to a car that is already 5 years old. Initially, I had concerns about missing out on the carbon options, but those worries dissipate once I really drive the car.
  21. Greetings, everyone - I am seeking guidance from anyone who have experience driving or owning both of these vehicles. I have been vacillating between purchasing an older V10 Plus and acquiring a brand new or almost new rear-wheel drive vehicle, since they are priced similarly. I have experienced driving a 2020 R8 Performance Quattro, and it was quite remarkable. However, I am still undecided on whether I should choose for the Quattro or rear-wheel drive (RWD) version. I have thoroughly reviewed all existing discussions available on this topic and believe that with the increasing use of rear-wheel drive vehicles in everyday life, there may be a greater variety of viewpoints to consider. I anticipate driving in favourable weather conditions (without snow) for enthusiastic drives, long-distance journeys and occasional usage on a racecourse or airstrip once each year. My intention is to retain ownership of the automobile for at least 10 years and drive an average of 10,000 km each year. Advantages / Disadvantages I have considered the following: 2017/18/20 V10 Plus Advantages: The loudest and most aggressive music, based on my research, is accompanied with carbon interior and exterior components. Carbon fibre wing with a fixed design (impressive appearance to me) Improved gear ratio for increased acceleration Maximum power output without any adjustments or modifications The factory exhaust system may produce a sufficiently high level of noise when equipped with a sport exhaust system. Drawbacks: The approximate price of a 2017/2018 Canadian model with Mag ride, which is about 5 years old and has mileage, is comparable to that of a brand new 2023 model. Differentiating the steering sensation between all-wheel drive (AWD) and rear-wheel drive (RWD) Typically not covered by warranty unless it is the year 2020. I like the aesthetics of both models, but I have a preference for the 2020 facelift version. Additionally, both models come with limited edition features. Regarding the carbon ceramics, I am uncertain whether to categorise it as a positive or negative aspect. On one hand, the absence of brake dust is appealing, but on the other hand, the cost is a drawback. Advantages of the 2022/23 RWD: The steering sensation is purportedly improved. The RWD exhibits a lively and spirited disposition. Minimal number of spinning components that need replacement or are prone to failure. Less heavy Warranty and availability of brand new items Cost of a new automobile that is equal to the price of a used car Drawbacks: Reduced acceleration from 0 to 60 mph (uncertain whether the difference is perceptible or if the automobile still maintains a comparable level of speed) I am unable to adjust the soft limitation for many years due to my desire to maintain the guarantee. Reduced power (as previously mentioned about tuning) Presumably, a factory tune with less aggression and a quieter exhaust tone (with the intention of installing an aftermarket valved exhaust). There is no button on the steering wheel to control the exhaust. Steel brakes, while they may have advantages, may also be considered a disadvantage due to the issue of brake dust. The wing is now movable, but we want to replace it with a permanent carbon wing due to the high cost of materials. Canadian rear-wheel drive automobiles have very low carbon emissions. Thank you beforehand
