Good day, everyone. I have scheduled my vehicle for its third-year service on Wednesday with Mercedes Benz of Colchester (while Chelmsford is the nearest, I have previously had it serviced by Colchester and they were excellent). I have requested that they do several tasks during their time, and as a result of my Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), I have developed a checklist to ensure that all tasks are completed. These tasks encompass: 1) The A0 service, referred to as A by Merc, is indicated by the automobile as A0:dk:. The three-year gearbox service. 3). Examine intermittent abruptness in the gearbox between speeds 1 and 2. 4). Examine the bothersome noise coming from the central air vent in the Dash. 5). Update the Sat Nav software to the most recent version. Initial MOT The aforementioned tasks will need a whole day, and maybe even more, to complete. I would want to ensure that all the desired and expected tasks from Mercedes are carried out on the automobile. Therefore, I have a few inquiries, which encompass: 1). Service - I would like to emphasise that when changing the oil, it is important to warm up the car and completely drain the oil, including the oil cooler, to remove as much of the old oil as possible. I have come across several cases where the oil coolers were not drained and owners found the oil on the dip stick to be dirty or dark. Is there any further information that I should seek or emphasise? 2 and 3. Transmission - I presume that an ATF change is just an ATF change, with no additional factors to consider as the unit is hermetically sealed. Furthermore, I presume that the fluid alteration would resolve the intermittent fluctuations. Should I formally request a software update, or will this be addressed as a component of the service? 4). Creaking - This is a prevalent problem that I have just lately been aware of, since I do not drive the vehicle as often as I would like. However, I am aware that it is causing a disturbance in my obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), therefore I am determined to resolve this issue. 5. Satellite Navigation - After thoroughly reviewing all the documentation for the automobile, I have found no evidence of any recent modifications within the last three years. Therefore, it can be inferred that the car is still in the same condition as when it was first manufactured in Germany three years ago. - I presume that the modifications made in the most recent version will be substantial, allowing me to refrain from questioning its completion. However, for my own reassurance, how can I verify the current version of the software? Is anybody aware of the code for the most recent version it might or should possess? 6). MOT - I am curiously anticipating the test results as I am really concerned about maintaining the quality of my vehicles. Previously, all three of my cars (2 BM's and 1 Audi) were sold before reaching 3 years old. However, this particular car (my first AMG) has captivated me more than any other, therefore I have chosen to retain it for a longer period of time. Apologies for the many inquiries, but as previously said, I have a strong inclination towards maintaining my vehicles in impeccable shape. However, owing to the demands of job and family, I am unable to drive them as much as I like. In fact, I have not covered a distance of 1500 miles since acquiring my car about a year ago. My Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) compels me to ensure that my vehicle is in impeccable condition, even though I do not often use it. Given that Wednesday's visit will cost around £900, I would want to be well prepared. Thank you in advance.

After replacing the valve, I recommend inspecting the wiring and connections for any potential problems.

Not elevated in the slightest. Verify the presence of magnetic ride suspension, if applicable. In my own experience, they typically have a lifespan of around 30,000 units. It is uncertain if your automobile is equipped with these. I am uncertain about the specific year or model you are considering.

Verify the statistics before proceeding. Also forgot that part.

My wife only goes for short runs. What I do is take it once a month when I visit my sister, put it in sport mode, increase the revs to 3k, and then click the cruise button. I only get a mileage of around 12 miles on the dual carriageway, but it seems to effectively maintain the diesel particulate filter (DPF) free. You don't need to travel far, just heat it up. Forgot to mention that it is hot before I enter the dual road.

Do you often engage in short runs? Furthermore, as WanderlustGuru said, what about thermostats?

You said "manually cleared," could you clarify its meaning? It seems to be blocked. Consider using a diesel particulate filter (DPF) cleaner in the tank, but don't expect certain results.

The auto dealer for my non-Kia vehicle only performed an oil change during the "full pre-delivery" service, but they overfilled the oil. The air and pollen filters were heavily contaminated, resembling ash pans.

Sure, I will. It occurs inconsistently. Years ago, I had a situation when a stone became lodged between a calliper and a disc on a different automobile, causing a loud squealing noise. Thank you very much

After the strip down and clean up over the weekend, the fbh has been functioning perfectly with little smoke for the last several days, which is an improvement from previously. To determine the source of the metallic scraping noise as I accelerate, it seems like something is grinding on either a brake shield or one of the metal coverings below the vehicle. It might also be due to a loose rear prop centre bearing. Thank you

Today, I disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled my fuel bowl heater. Fortunately, the pottery remained unbroken. It leaked while attempting to start it after the repair, although it had the same issue before it was taken out. Thank you very much

Thank you, that clarifies the situation. Thank you

Hello everyone. I have been attempting to address an intermittent problem with the fbh, where it sometimes activates and other times does not. ACM-Audio System Error code U0166-00 indicates a loss of communication with the auxiliary heating control module. AHCM stands for Auxilary Heater Control Module. Code B1D31-94 indicates that a flame was detected before the system started operating normally due to a component failure leading to unexpected operation. While experimenting, I saw diesel leaking from the exhaust on the FBH where the exhaust port connects to the concertina exhaust pipe and trickling onto the inner wing. Has anybody else seen this issue, and is there a solution available? I presume the lack of leakage occurs while the heater is priming, since there are no leaks when it is operational. Thank you

Contact the repair centre that received the ECU. Inquire about the absence of electricity from the ECU to the MAP sensor despite the ECU being functional.

This is incomprehensible. You are stating that there is no voltage reaching the map sensor, while the power and ground connections are functioning properly. Which power is acceptable?

There are two distinct automobiles that exhibit contrasting characteristics. It is futile to inquire on this platform, since individuals are inclined to provide their own preference between the two options. Personally, I would go for the A250 due to my youthful disposition and remarkable sense of coolness. However, the ultimate decision rests solely with you.

I was surprised to see that CD Players had become obsolete. Over the course of many years, I have dedicated much effort to substituting my vinyl collection with compact discs.I am now engaged in the practise of playing records at home using my old Pioneer system. However, I am contemplating the acquisition of a plug-in CD player due to the substantial number of CDs in my possession, totaling over 600. After doing more study, I have made the decision to transfer albums into 32GB flash devices that are formatted in the FAT32 file system. I organise my laptop's files by creating a dedicated folder for each artist, inside which I make sub-folders for each album. I use the legacy Windows 10 media player to convert and save the audio files in the FLAC format. The flash drive has a large storage capacity for music files. I establish a connection between my mobile device and my CX30 vehicle, use voice-activated instructions to navigate and pick audio content.

The door panel is removed, allowing for the connection of the mirror's loom to the door control module.

Zero-energy, turbocharged inline-6. Ideas for the Cx50's design! Vibrant hues

Alright, and has the dealership verified that this is a customary occurrence within your geographical area? If such is the case, it might be seen as a detriment. Was it suggested that the absence of touchscreen functionality may be a mandatory criterion for your country? Alternatively, it is possible that Mazda discourages drivers from using the touchscreen functionality.

Typically, Mazda indicates that the touch screen functionality is off for the majority of its centre screen capabilities. However, it is worth noting that the touch screen feature remains operational for Apple CarPlay. I would like need the assistance of a sales representative at your dealership to provide a demonstration on the operational functionalities of Apple CarPlay or its Android phone counterpart. In the presence of certain conditions, the touchscreen is expected to function properly. To establish a connection between your CX-90 and your mobile device, use the Bluetooth functionality. Subsequently, go to Apple Carplay on your mobile device, which should then be projected into the central screen of the vehicle's interface. Once shown, you may interact with the Apple Carplay interface by using touch controls. Observe

At 5:36, an account is provided about the utilisation of the infotainment system including Apple CarPlay, which is seen as an available choice on the central display panel. It is advisable to consult with the dealership on the functionality of the touch screen.
