  1. I encountered analogous issues, albeit with an older model. The driver's side would emit warm air quite immediately, whereas the passenger side took an extended period, possibly 30 to 60 minutes into the voyage. This would vex Mrs. F on wintry mornings. I replaced the water pump, which subsequently addressed the issue with the dual valve that had begun leaking and appeared to have been malfunctioning for some time. Issue resolved.
  2. Could you kindly explain how you diagnosed the issue? In Poland, there exists equipment to assess damping effectiveness in vehicles; however, similar technology is absent in the UK. My rear Koni shocks seem to be excessively bouncy lately, causing my vehicle to rebound over speed bumps once again, prompting my curiosity. Thank you
  3. Is there a PMS unit located under the washer bottle reservoir?
  4. If you own NTG4 (specifically pre-facelift 204, as in my case), you want authentic MB DVDs; the most recent update was released in 2019. Therefore, search eBay for NTG4-204 DVDs (do not confuse with NTG4-212, as they are distinct). However, if your 204 is a facelift model (if I recall correctly, model year 2011 and newer), it is likely equipped with NTG4.5, which requires a PIN unique to your VIN, along with the corresponding DVDs. Both may be acquired from Mercedes-Benz or select independent dealers such as Comandonline in Lightwater, Surrey (forum sponsors!). Utilize a free online VIN decoder to ascertain the version of your Comand system associated with your VIN. Avoid counterfeit DVDs, since they may damage your Comand system—costly repercussions!
  5. Indeed, connect it to a CTEK or a comparable charger until it indicates a full charge, leave it overnight, and assess its condition the next day.
  6. I use a mix of audio files on a USB drive and music saved on my Samsung phone using Android Auto. I have not own a vehicle equipped with a CD player since 2017. Prior to that, I used an iPod.

  8. I purchased the Husky cargo liner. It includes a seat back protector, although it is constructed as a single unit. The installation instructions need you to bisect it to detach the seat back. I must confess I was quite apprehensive about proceeding, but I used a straight edge, resulting in a flawless fit.
  9. Minimal torque is required for tightening if access is sufficiently convenient. Is there any banging sound when you shake the steering wheel when stationary, especially with the engine turned off? The braking components, often referred to as torsion arms, are the suspension arms extending from the hub to the front of the subframe. Any movement in these components may result in noise.
  10. I am uncertain if a thrust piece is available for that vehicle; it is only produced for ThyssenKrupp racks. I have only installed it on the X3 and 3 Series. In the absence of specialised tools, it becomes a process of trial and error to eliminate play without excessively tightening, which would hinder the steering's self-centering ability. If it is not a Thyseen rack, I guess you will either need a new rack or need to submit yours for reconditioning.
  11. I purchased my automobile from them, and it seems to be functioning OK; however, I have only had it for eight months. I do not use their auto servicing; instead, I take my vehicle to a nearby Honda dealer, hence I cannot provide commentary on their after-service care. Nonetheless, if that is the situation, it seems to be a matter of buyer beware.
  12. I purchased it from Honda Marshall (Reading) with 23,000 miles on the odometer. The only method to ascertain this is to either consult another Honda dealer or locate another owner for comparison. I presume it has a guarantee from Honda Marshall. If so, you should ensure there is no genuine problem with the automobile before the expiration and resolve it promptly. The more you postpone addressing any concerns, the more challenging it will become to resolve them. If it is determined that there are no difficulties, I can only state that based on your description, it does not resemble the automobile I am operating.
  13. I have just noticed this; I apologise for the delayed response. This does not seem accurate. I own a 2021 1.5, which is among the most silent vehicles I have ever used. Upon first startup, it tends to idle at a slightly elevated RPM, but stabilises after around one minute; otherwise, it operates very quietly. The gearbox exhibits little notchiness; yet, it remains accurate and free of vibrations. I recommend that you get the engine and gearbox mounts inspected. It is advisable to have a Honda dealer inspect the vehicle, particularly if it still under warranty.
