  1. The pads are quite new; perhaps the real sensors were never replaced.Prior to the illumination of the warning light, the display indicated that brake pad service was required after a specified number of miles. As soon as the mileage reached zero, the warning lights activated.
  2. I appreciate your response. I have attempted to reset it as you described, but it consistently indicates that the reset was unsuccessful. The vehicle likely perceives that the brake pads require replacement. It is peculiar that the warning light has activated nearly two months after the garage allegedly failed to repair the sensors.
  3. I purchased a 520d a few months ago from a dealership that replaced the brake pads and discs prior to my acquisition of the vehicle. I brought the automobile to BMW for servicing, and it indicated a requirement for brake pad maintenance; however, I informed them that it had already been completed. They completed the remainder of the service. A few days ago, the brake pad warning light illuminated, indicating that the brake pads require replacement, but I am aware that they do not. BMW will not reset it as they did not install the brake pads. Do you have any suggestions for resolving this issue so it no longer appears on my dashboard? I attempted to reset it, but it is unfeasible as the car believes it requires completion. Thank you very much
  4. Hello, I require assistance with my 2009 Golf TSI GT 1.4, which I purchased approximately four weeks ago. There is no necessity to fail the MOT regarding admittance. I consulted several mechanics prior to purchasing the car regarding their assessments of potential issues. It is primarily suggested that it likely requires a proper flashing. The vehicle has recorded barely 87,000 miles and has averaged merely 5,000 miles annually since its inception. I have performed a comprehensive repair on the automobile, including an oil change and replacement of the fuel filter. There was no water in the oil, and the coolant is intact. However, the vehicle emits significant white smoke and struggles to reach the redline between 3,000 and 4,000 RPMs. Individuals have suggested that the issue is with the egg gasket; nonetheless, I fail to comprehend how this might be the case, given that there is no loss of water and no contamination of the oil. I would greatly appreciate assistance or guidance regarding your thoughts on the matter. Thank you
  5. Hello everyone, I recently acquired my 2025 CX-70, and it has been excellent thus far. However, I received a recall notification via email yesterday indicating a potential stalling issue related to fuel level, with the cure now unavailable. I enquired with the dealer, and they informed me that there are currently no records in Mazda's system; nonetheless, they will monitor the situation. I feel rather apprehensive, particularly over the "stall fuel level" notification, as it suggests the possibility of becoming trapped. I have a road trip planned, and the prospect of this occurrence is troubling me. The email lacked sufficient data, and upon reviewing VIN decoders and Mazda's equipment list for my vehicle, I found no mention of this issue. I am not attempting to panic; the vehicle operates adequately and I have not had any problems thus far. However, I wish to remain proactive and be informed about potential concerns to monitor. Has anyone had a comparable recall on their CX-70 or identified a similar issue in advance? I would value your insights on how you addressed the situation and any recommendations for verifying its resolution or enquiries I should pose to the dealer upon my visit.
  6. I am perpetually notified that the windscreen washer fluid is insufficient, irrespective of the actual fluid level in the reservoir.
  7. After an hour, I observed that the oil level is slightly below the minimum threshold. It perplexes me that after being left overnight, it appears approximately three-quarters full, although it is not saturated with oil; only a faint outline is visible. This is the appearance after one hour of leaving it. Completely devoid
  8. No concerns, I will reassess in thirty minutes. Is the Idrive typically precise? The vehicle has accumulated 200,000 kilometres, which raises my concern regarding the functionality of the sensor or a potential malfunction.
  9. My Idrive indicates that my oil levels are three-quarters full, although the dipstick displays nearly empty when the engine is somewhat warm. When completely cold, the dipstick indicates around three-quarters full; nonetheless, the oil level is not as high as I would prefer. Is the Idrive trustworthy? Why is there no oil on the dipstick when the engine is slightly warm? I am apprehensive about overfilling, hence I find myself at a crossroads. Certainly, the IDrive will inform me if I am indeed running short. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
  10. Hello everyone, I am new to this forum. I own a 2012 C250 AMG with 80,000 miles. My vehicle entered limp mode yesterday. While attempting to overtake on the freeway, I experienced a lack of power, and the engine management light illuminated. Do you have any suggestions on where to begin my investigation? Potential boost pipe issue
  11. You may withdraw from the new postal and buyer protection programs... at least temporarily. I possess. Edit: According to her, who engages in extensive eBay transactions, one may no longer opt out of the buyer protection system; nevertheless, opting out of the postal plan remains possible.
  12. It is hoped that you have not yet revealed to the dealer your preference for a certain colour.
  13. Is there another dealer in proximity that you can use for price competition?
  14. Thank you. I am now attempting to locate the VIN plate. I will search on Google; so far, I have identified the positions of the chassis number and engine number, but I have not yet discovered the VIN plate.
  15. I own a 2016 KIA Picanto SR7 and want new brake discs and pads. Typically, brake parts retailers are reliable; entering the registration number yields a range of options. Nonetheless, it seems there are many disc diameters for my vehicle: 256, 231, 234, 252. How can I get the appropriate size discs without removing the existing ones for measurement? Is there anybody that can assist?
  16. I assume it was mostly a financial and technological matter. The general public expects compact automobiles to be less expensive than bigger ones; nevertheless, from a manufacturing perspective, the production costs of a Picanto and a Sorento are likely comparable. The expense of one must support the other. Integrating all the electrical components into a compact vehicle is likely more challenging than in a larger vehicle, which offers much more room. The capricious public want an economical compact vehicle capable of long-distance travel. While it is acknowledged that tiny cars are primarily intended for short urban journeys, instances of such vehicles traversing the highway are not uncommon.

  18. According to Autocar, the phrase "to complete the EV lineup" may be quite arrogant, since Kia is considering the introduction of a compact (Picanto-sized) EV1.

  20. Kia has introduced the EV4 and the prototype EV2 to complete its electric vehicle lineup. I never anticipated the resurgence of bench seats! I intend to retain my current possessions for the foreseeable future.
  21. Excellent issue Will the automobile continue to operate effectively?
