There is a coolant leak in the W204 C250.

I received a same letter. Upon seeing the acronym EPA, I immediately recognised it as a representation of the Environmental Protection Agency, which led me to believe that the information being discussed is likely related to California and may be seen as misleading or false.

Excellent performance👏Impressive collection. The Mx-5 is the last addition needed to complete the collection.🙂

Although I do like your present ones, I must admit that if you are seeking a change, the new ones are rather eye-catching.

Tyre repair kits for do-it-yourself (DIY) use.
Rudy7831 replied to VVC-Geeza's topic in General Car Chat
Neither my current 3 Series Touring nor my prior generation one have this feature. Indeed, I did bring a spare tyre in the trunk for my lengthy journeys. My existing automobile is unable to accommodate my extensive work equipment. -

Why not use the screws instead? There are many sizes available, so choose the one that fits best. The threads are already coated with a sealant, and all you need is a screwdriver and a compressor to complete the task. -

I have equipped all of our vehicles and my bike with screws and a screwdriver as a contingency measure. I already had the strings, but I have never used either of them. There are several YouTube videos demonstrating the simplicity of using the screws, which influenced my decision. -
Can an independent expert really possess greater knowledge on an automobile as modern as that? I would have expected that it would need a significant amount of time for them to handle enough automobiles and accumulate a sufficient amount of information. Staff employed by authorised dealers are more likely to have undergone training programmes specifically designed for these models.

I believe engaging in racing or any other activities on public roadways is ill-advised. A potential issue on the verge of occurrence. Nevertheless, exquisite automobiles are meant to be admired by everyone. Not only do we serve as the owner, but there are others involved as well. It is advisable to have someone else listen to and observe the automobile. I am willing to make extra effort to ensure that everyone who recognises my vehicles knows that I also value their passion for automobiles. Exhibiting arrogance and deliberately disregarding someone's presence is just impolite. Automobile lovers are among the most amiable individuals you will ever encounter. I provide access to almost everyone who want to occupy a seat within my vicinity during a cars and coffee event.

The yellow light indicates the presence of a defect code, which is not limited to the emissions system. Intelligent Traffic Control SystemRegardless of the specific model, whether it is an A Class, C Class, GLE, or any other, the warning lights on the dashboard of your Mercedes-Benz will consistently adhere to a colour scheme similar to that of traffic lights: Green: indicates that the system is functioning well or is actively being used Yellow: There is a malfunction - it is important to be cautious and investigate it promptly. Red: There is a critical and possibly hazardous issue. Cease driving as soon as it is safe to do so.

The codes may be obtained by using a code reader or the MB Star system. The EML serves as an indicator that there is a code to be read, but it is not visually shown inside the automobile. It is time to ensure the reliability and durability of your MB Service Centre or consider finding an alternative one.

How to Remove and Install Fender Liner Bolts?
Rudy7831 replied to norbury.brook's topic in General Car Chat
To remove the bolts, it may be necessary to either sever the heads or bore through them. Obtaining replacement spire nuts is rather simple. Fasteners that are secured within rivnuts often remain intact since the threading is shielded from external factors. -
How to Remove and Install Fender Liner Bolts?

Undoubtedly, using penetrating oil is an optimal first step when seeking entry. Once the bolt starts rotating, it indicates that the spire nut has fractured, and regrettably, you will likely need to use a more forceful approach. -
How to Remove and Install Fender Liner Bolts?
Rudy7831 replied to norbury.brook's topic in General Car Chat
I encountered the same problem. Usually, when a bolt spins without unscrewing, it indicates that the bolt has been stuck in the spire nut. If the distance between them and the target is sufficient, the optimal course of action would be to meticulously sever the head. If not, firmly grasp the head with a pair of locking pliers and use a sharp drill to bore through the middle till the head detaches. I purchased fresh spire nuts and applied copper grease to the new bolts being inserted. If the screw cannot be properly tightened, you should replace the spire nut or clean the threads of the rivnut using an M6 tap. Although not enjoyable, the task is well worthwhile 👍 -
Integrate B9 (S5) Seats into the Gen 1 R8 System
Rudy7831 replied to MDMH757's topic in General Car Chat
Upon examination, it seems that pin 6 and pin 5 both possess a voltage of 12 volts, hence rendering the thickness unnecessary since the resulting current will be comparatively less. A distinct power source is allocated to the Backrest, whilst the seat and bolsters are supplied with an additional power source. It is likely necessary to divide the thick power cable originating from the R8 heater wire into two separate heater wires. -
Integrate B9 (S5) Seats into the Gen 1 R8 System
Rudy7831 replied to MDMH757's topic in General Car Chat
Upon examining the hardware connection of the S5, it is evident that the Power and Ground wires should possess a much greater thickness. In addition, it is advisable to first trace the ground since it is often denoted with more clarity in these diagrams. That is the manner in which I would begin the tracing. -

This diagram is derived from a Mazda Service Alert that advises against using a flat lift on a Phev vehicle because to the potential hanging of the electric vehicle battery and other components. It specifies the need for spacers on the side lift points. Additionally, it displays Jack's points. Left rear differential. Please be aware that I have not used these centre points, but rather captured a few close-up photographs.

Approximately one month ago, I replaced the batter in my 29-month-old CX-30 with one that has a capacity of 650 CCA. This was necessary since the battery failed to start on a frigid day (20 F/-6 C). The initial battery capacity in the North American vehicles, only for petrol, is limited to 525 CCA. Additionally, the continuous activation of my dashcam is likely to have had a negative impact on the battery's charge state. If you will be in close proximity to the vehicle for a prolonged duration, it may be necessary to place the key fob inside an RFID pouch.

While it may be somewhat bothersome, is it really of significant importance? During the reversal out in the chilly full lock, I executed a gla 45 that exhibited a hop skip and leap like to that of Jonathan Edwards. Even my e46 M3 had some braking issues over the winter, as did most of my other RWD vehicles, such as my C63S estate. While the issue is more noticeable in an AWD vehicle, it seems to be a slight inconvenience rather than a significant concern.

The issue has been resolved. I highly suggest ECU Testing as a reputable organisation. High-quality work and informative content. The fix is costly. If it weren't for the abysmal quality of service provided by Royal Mail, the task would have been completed five days ago. Considering my intelligence, I decided to reposition the clip on the changing rod pivot from the bottom. It is not advisable for me to lie on my back in my driveway. The journey to refurbish was successful. Thank you everyone for the assistance and information.
