  1. Indeed, by illuminating the area with a light, one may determine if the valve is in a closed position against the seat. Simply rotate the engine in a clockwise direction to the appropriate position, and then go to the next cylinder. There is no need to reposition the engine to a certain location after completing the necessary tasks.
  2. When I cleaned my manifold, I meticulously cleared the ports using a screwdriver and cloth. I ensured that the valves in the ports I was working on were closed by manually turning the engine over. I have repurposed an antiquated hoover by affixing a segment of garden hose to serve as an auxiliary instrument for collecting loose debris. In actuality, a little amount of carbon residue will not cause any problems. If it does get through, it will just be incinerated. The presence of debris in these manifolds seems logical, since under increased pressure, particles are likely to pass through. Have you inspected for any air leaks? The breather pipe and the intake pipe from the MAF to the turbo are susceptible to developing splits. The intake is often located inside the grooves on the convoluted portion.
  3. When it comes to modifications, you should prioritise ensuring that your vehicle is adequately insured. Additionally, pay attention to maintaining a flawless appearance, including the use of mats with stripes and achieving optimal reflections. Lastly, it is crucial to avoid any accidents or collisions. The opportunity for modification will arise in due time. I am elderly as well. What was the cost of your insurance?
  4. If you want to monitor CCBs, I would definitely get the protection package for $2500.
  5. There are 3 or 4 videos in various Facebook groups showcasing this particular problem with different CX60 models. You are not alone. Resolution? Unsure.
  6. I will preserve the information from the Arnold Clark one since it is the correct one. I have plenty of options to choose from now. I could consider giving it to my wife's cousin who owns a Sportage if they are interested. Currently awaiting the delivery of my 32GB SD card to attempt updating the navigation system. Tried using a 64GB USB stick with the software, but it was not compatible. I will insert the SD card directly since I have heard that using the USB loom might be tricky.Here is my previous software version. Does it seem to have been updated?
  7. Kia OEM Air Filter - Part Number 28113C1100 Purchased a KIA authentic part from Arnold Clark after trying Bosch and Borgern Beck options that were somewhat thinner. The old one definitely needs to be done, in my opinion.
  8. My 4th generation iPod Nano is not charging, despite the handbook stating that it should. Shouldn't LR be responsible for resolving this issue at their cost? My automobile is a MY10 RRS TDV6. Additionally, when I turn off my vehicle, it does not turn off my iPod, causing it to entirely lose power by the time I leave the workplace.It is unusual that my Jaguar XK, which is just 7 months old, does not charge it! Using the USB connection and the included Apple PC lead charges the iPod but does not allow it to play. Quite a troublesome situation.
  9. Over the course of many years, I have discovered that the Forum has proven to be really valuable and enlightening. It is advisable to allow for a lengthier duration than a single day before engaging in any kind of evaluation or judgement.
  10. One potential course of action is the removal of the rear hatch trim to inspect the latch for any signs of loose bolts or a damaged or broken latch bracket, provided that the individual feels at ease doing this task.
  11. The second iteration of the Ottocast device had a recurring fault, mirroring the experience seen with the first device. Specifically, the device consistently encountered a delay during the 'Looking for Android Auto' phase. I established a connection between the device and my computer using Wi-Fi Direct, which verified that the firmware was up to current, therefore ruling out firmware as the cause of the problem. I came across a Reddit forum that suggested doing a factory reset on the vehicle as a possible resolution. I am pleased to announce that this approach was well. I have successfully achieved optimal functionality of wifi Android Auto in full screen mode. If other individuals have a similar challenge while attempting to establish a connection between the Ottocast and their automobile, the following steps were undertaken by me: Perform a factory reset on the vehicle and power it down. To remove Android Auto data and cache from a mobile device, follow the steps outlined below. If the device has been previously paired, it is advisable to unpair or forget the device in order to prevent any further connection attempts. Perform a system reboot on the mobile device. Resetting Ottocast is necessary in order to restore it to its original state or default settings. To ensure proper functionality, it is recommended to press and hold the button for a duration of 10 to 15 seconds while the Ottocast device is switched on. To establish a connection between Ottocast and the vehicle, please follow the necessary steps. Activate the automobile's ignition and allow for a period of time to elapse. It is advised to refrain from engaging in any activities on your mobile device. Upon the lapse of a brief interval, a visual display will manifest itself on the automobile, presenting the user with the option to establish a connection either automatically or manually, and thereafter granting access to a range of rights and functionalities. Please choose "yes" for all options. Upon completion of the necessary steps, a notice will be generated on your mobile device prompting you to establish a connection with the designated device. Connect the device and allow a brief interval for the Android Auto interface to be shown prominently on the whole screen of your automobile. This information is intended to provide assistance and alleviate the frustration experienced by those who may encounter similar challenges.
  12. The CarlinKit CPC2200-A2A has been received. There were no connectivity concerns seen, since the pairing process between the devices was completed within a few seconds. The performance of Android Auto was flawless, with no discernible latency or delay. The display was flawless; nevertheless, it did not occupy the whole screen. Regrettably, the right half of the screen remained obstructed by the prominent Android Auto branding. I have placed an additional order for an Ottocast U2-X Pro with the expectation that this subsequent acquisition would prove to be functional. In the event that the process of searching for Android Auto becomes stagnant once again, I will endeavour to update the firmware independently in order to ascertain if this action will effectively rectify the problem. I will provide more updates to inform you of the outcome. For the time being, we will retain the CarlinKit.
  13. Despite exerting considerable effort, I have consistently failed to successfully establish a wireless connection between my Android device and the Ottocast system for Android Auto. The vehicle promptly identified the Ottocast device, enabling me to establish a Bluetooth connection. However, after several tries and extended waiting periods, my phone consistently remained stuck at the 'Looking for Android Auto' stage without any further progress. I initiated communication with Ottocast, who then made a request for the equipment to be returned. No solutions were provided to me. Upon receiving a refund from Amazon, I intend to proceed with the purchase of a CarlinKit, with the expectation that it will function as intended. I will provide an update in the near future.
  14. After doing an investigation this evening, I have just placed an order for an Ottocast device, which is anticipated to provide me with the capability of using Android Auto on a full screen, as well as wireless connection. I will provide an update after a few days to ascertain the efficacy of the intervention. I also examined the CarLinkit 5.0 device, but my understanding is that it requires a wired connection to the rear of the screen unit in order to provide full screen Android Auto functionality. Personally, I would want to avoid the requirement for such installation.
  15. I will comply with the request. I attempted to modify the resolution in developer mode on the AA platform, but unfortunately, my efforts were unsuccessful. I am optimistic about finding a resolution.
  16. I have successfully installed the Mercedes Me application and have seen that the Android Auto functionality is now operational. Currently, I am faced with the task of determining the appropriate method to enable the application to occupy the whole screen, since a significant portion of the screen is presently allocated to Android Auto.
  17. I appreciate your suggestion. I am using a Samsung connection that has shown compatibility with Android Auto on my A6 vehicle. Therefore, I infer that it should also function well on the Mercedes vehicle. However, I will proceed to test the connectivity using a few other cords for confirmation.
  18. Greetings, everyone. I am seeking assistance from someone who can provide clarity on this matter, as I am now experiencing a state of profound confusion. Yesterday, I acquired ownership of a Mercedes-Benz vehicle and I am quite pleased with my acquisition. The vehicle under consideration exhibits a much higher level of satisfaction compared to the two A6 models that were previously operated throughout the last several years. Today, I attempted to establish a connection with Android Auto, only to discover that the vehicle in question lacks compatibility with the aforementioned system. I conducted an online search using the Google search engine and then contacted several vendors that provide aftermarket Android Auto retrofits. The first business proposed to do the retrofitting project and provided a quotation of £800. According to the second organisation, the recommended course of action is downloading the Mercedes Me App and thereafter procuring the necessary software using such application. Clearly, it is evident that both assertions cannot be simultaneously accurate. As I engage in more online research using the Google search engine, I find myself increasingly perplexed. I am uncertain as to whether my vehicle is equipped with the MBUX or Command system. Is there a precise method to ascertain the necessary steps for enabling the functionality of Android Auto? Thank you so much for your aid.
