  1. On what authority do you make such statement? 😄
  2. In my opinion, the policy is very standard, to be honest. It is not exclusive to Costco, but in the end, you did get your desired outcome. When considering the situation, it requires more exertion on their part. They are putting in more work rather than taking shortcuts.
  3. For your information, they have the ability to order any item. I purchased the appropriate 'N' rated Michelins for my 911 and the dealership was willing to special order them. It is not advisable to only depend on the cost shown on the website, since not all possible options may be included.
  4. Consider visiting Costco to explore their current offer on Michelin products. It might be beneficial to investigate if you have a membership or if someone you know has.
  5. My personal favourite is either Michelin or Continental - both are excellent choices.
  6. GT prior to the makeover. The R8 is the most exceptional vehicle ever produced by Audi and is now significantly undervalued.
  7. They proposed a fee of £120.00 for a diagnostic but could not guarantee identifying the error.
  8. The battery, which is around 6 months old, underwent testing at a dealership using a tester. The results indicated no issues with the battery cells and showed it to be 98% functional. Any other thoughts, please.
  9. This is a photo of my Radio Unit without a little button for pressing on the radio. This radio lacks Sat/Nav. Any other recommendations would be appreciated.
  10. Two further items are, The automobile had been stationary for 2 months before displaying the notice on the radio and other mentioned defects. When the radio was turned off while the engine was running, it displayed the time in large figures. Additionally, if the radio was on, it turned off when the engine was switched off. The automobile is a 2013 MK3 model and lacks a stop/start feature. The battery is fully charged and is fresh. Half a year ago
  11. Can someone provide assistance? I own a Sportage mk 3 and the radio is displaying the message "Battery Low start engine." The time does not appear on the radio display when the radio is switched off.
  12. Labour rates at the local independent business where I am located are around $240 per hour, specialising only in Audi automobiles, and considered rather inexpensive. Some dealers are charging $400 per hour. This is the reason why a guarantee is necessary. My guarantee is valid for another three and a half years. By the time my R8 is 13 years old, it will probably have only around 20 to 25,000 miles on it. I may need to think about selling it or purchasing another warranty at that time. I would not retain this automobile without a warranty. I failed to add that I have been posting on other sites about my shocks leaking at barely 11,000 miles. Thankfully, my warranty covered the repair, but the whole cost amounted to $13,000 including labour. That is just absurd.
  13. I like the R8. But is it bulletproof? Laughing out loud. Remember that the labour prices for even a Prius are exorbitant. To acquire a R8 without a guarantee, you need either be incredibly affluent or willing to take on significant financial risk. Occasionally, you may get involved in a dispute over labour rates. A dealer may charge $250 per hour, whereas the warranty provider will only cover $200 per hour. Consider informing the shop or dealer you visit for repairs about this issue and ensure all details are thoroughly checked and confirmed. This is when you are deceived or tricked.
  14. USB drives larger than 32GB cannot be formatted as FAT32. The format must be either EXFAT or NTFS. I have a 128-gigabyte USB drive formatted to NTFS, and it functions well. I encode my songs in FLAC format to get higher sound quality due to its lossless compression.
  15. CarPlay is consistently functional for me, however I have connectivity issues with Android Auto. Google Maps and Waze tend to disconnect after around 30 minutes on the first connection. However, when reconnecting, they perform flawlessly for the remainder of the journey. Initially, it occurred during the day, and I attributed it to the sun/heat, but then it also happened at night.
  16. Have you directly contacted Burger? They excel at troubleshooting and providing service.
  17. Here is my video demonstrating the performance of a mixture of VPOctanium and 91 octane petrol with an AKI rating of 94-95 on Map 2.
  18. Perhaps your campfire is OK, and I am unsure about my actions in this situation.
  19. I don't like your insinuation that I am incompetent. There have been no changes in the automobile, it was functioning well, and the temperature control setting is on auto. Otherwise, the untick/tick function would not have functioned. The heated steering wheel functioned as anticipated, however the seat heater did not activate. Since I was alone, I am unsure whether the passenger seat was also impacted.
  20. This week, I found out about the driver and passenger comfort settings that activate the heated steering wheel, driver's seat, and passenger's seat warmers when the temperature control deems it necessary. This feature automatically turns on the selected heating options when you enter a chilly vehicle. I chose all three options and spent many days with my wife in temperatures ranging from 0 to 15 degrees Celsius in February. The temperature has decreased to a range of -6 to +4 degrees Celsius, and the driver's seat heating has failed to turn on twice. This morning the temperature is about -2 degrees Celsius. I moved the vehicle and found that I don't have heated seats, but I do have a heated steering wheel. I verified the connection settings and found that all 3 boxes were checked. I adjusted the driver's seat and activated it again, and the driver's seat heating started working. Another system that operates inconsistently, in addition to the driver recognition. Starting to regret this automobile.
  21. I am puzzled why everyone does not charge anything to 100%. Mazda has said that there is conserved capacity available to maintain optimal battery charging levels. 100% does not represent the whole battery capacity.
  22. £27,000 has been spent since 2011. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276342120542?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=xQpfmUF1TWq&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=sEYHcjguRQW&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338181125&toolid=10001&customid=2518X1570512X919feaf2e06d4e4394c4f7163164267d
