  1. Numerous vehicles from 2022 had features excluded owing to a components scarcity (chip deficit). Consequently, it is quite customary for Mercedes to periodically modify the specs of their vehicles. For instance, my brother acquired a new A200 Saloon Premium Plus one month ago. He was seeing two Premium Plus vehicles manufactured two days apart. The first model had standard AMG line silver wheels, tinted rear windows, and Augmented Reality among the optional features. The second option he selected included the whole Night Edition Package, with black AMG wheels and tinted rear windows, but excluded Augmented Reality. Conversely, the vehicle was equipped with a heated steering wheel. He was able to comprehensively evaluate the specifications since our regular salesperson retrieved the Oasis Reports for both vehicles. As of September 11th, all Premium Plus A Class cars get the complete night package with a slightly altered specification, as stated in the brochure. The first automobile was constructed on September 10th, whereas the one he purchased was manufactured on the 12th. Two days apart and a substantial specification change. The most effective method to ascertain the precise specifications of the vehicle is to get the Oasis report when purchasing from a Mercedes dealer, or to use one of the several VIN decoders if the VIN number is available.
  2. Incredible, all that effort only to substitute a coolant pipe.
  3. You have not perused an article about lower control arms... astonishing.
  4. Exasperation. It appears I have inadvertently encountered a relatively typical issue while the vehicle was still. I also observe that Mini (at least in the USA) provided an extended guarantee on the passenger seat mat. It is indeed a recognised condition. I considered purchasing an emulator last year as a precaution, but ultimately chose not to invest the money. Unbeknownst to me… Purchased an emulator on eBay in the United Kingdom. The biennial safety check is due this year, and it is unlikely to pass with the SRS light illuminated on the dashboard. The technician does not connect a scanner to the vehicle; however, if the individual enters and the "airbag" warning indicator is illuminated on the tachometer display, it cannot be overlooked. Another $100 wasted without result. This car is frustrating. Curse BMW. If I could retrieve my investment from this vehicle, I would dispose of it immediately. The additional issue is that even if it functioned correctly at the time of sale, I would feel remorseful knowing it would deceive the next unfortunate individual who possessed it. I am condemned regardless of my choice.
  5. Mini Cooper, 2009 model. The regulars on this site are aware of the considerable effort and attention I have devoted to this minor inconvenience. It has been idle throughout the harsh Canadian winter. For the past five months, in a temperature-regulated garage, connected to a battery maintainer. I entered the vehicle today to relocate it from the garage in order to reach the space behind it, and the irritating warning triangle is illuminated. Assuming it was a timed-out conditional inspection (despite believing I had disabled all of them), I connected the reader and retrieved the codes. The passenger seat occupancy indicator is activated, and the tachometer continuously displays the seatbelt/airbag warning symbol. What on earth? Did it deteriorate while stored in a warm garage? Moreover, there is almost always an absence of occupants in the passenger seat. This wretched vehicle is the source of my misery! The scanner resolves the issue and promptly reverts, indicating a critical defect exists. Frustration. I am becoming fatigued by this incessant "nickel and diming" approach. I am unable to disregard the small triangle warning as the airbag/seatbelt sign continuously appears in the main tachometer display. Seat bypass modules will extract an additional $100 from my finances. Even if I wished to sell the automobile, I cannot do so until I rectify the malfunctioning airbag indicator. No one will purchase it in that condition without seeking a substantial discount. I require five minutes with the engineers regarding this matter in a dimly lit area, accompanied by a baseball bat. I am exceedingly pleased that I have dissuaded relatives and family from purchasing one of these troublesome items. They all relish a ride in it and enquire whether they should get one. To which my response is consistently a resounding and fervent: “No!” I believe I have encountered several mentions of circumventing it by a straightforward resistor adjustment. I must conduct a search on that matter, as I have nearly exhausted my financial contributions to this insatiable entity. I will likely attempt to disconnect and reconnect the seat connector as well. In the event that it is a compromised contact issue. It should not occur, although it would not be the first instance of a seemingly simple issue arising unexpectedly. Particularly with this maintenance-intensive vehicle.
  6. Why are you not bringing the 2024 vehicle, which is still under warranty, to the MB dealer for this issue?
  7. Oh! That is an additional intriguing concept to investigate! I must keep the centre vents disabled to prevent the machine from overheating. I will include this into my study and evaluate the results. Thank you!
  8. I will investigate the matter and ascertain what information I can get. I much appreciate your assistance.
  9. https://www.ebay.de/itm/266775831655?var=566518679298&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkcid=4&mkrid=707-171276-817125-0&campaignid=21188694210&adgroupid=160785554349&adid=696836601505&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-oG6rtyQiwMVoF4dCR22HyW5EAEYASABEgIaP_D_BwE&abcId=9405964&device=c&gad_source=5&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-oG6rtyQiwMVoF4dCR22HyW5EAEYASABEgIaP_D_BwE
  10. I much appreciate your response! It lacks the dashboard compartment. Only the one next to the gear stick. Should I attach this item to the dashboard?
  11. Greetings! I own a 2006 1 Series SE and want a stereo compatible with Android Auto. I am seeing an issue where all the available choices are for vehicles that have a double din radio and separate temperature controls. I am also unable to locate a radio with integrated temperature control. Does anybody possess suggestions on how I may locate an appropriate match or provide guidance? Thank you.
  12. To assist me: Engine? Two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive? United States or Canada? Automatic or Manual?
  13. Is there any update on this matter? I have 700 miles on my CX90 and am experiencing same problem; I am quite frustrated.
  14. Additional information available here https://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1512720&highlight=vibration
  15. This seems to be a prevalent issue with these items.
  16. The optimal method to resolve a significant issue is to examine the ECU for any problems. This may be effectively accomplished with VCDS from Ross-Tech. Secondly, relying on hearsay will not be beneficial.
  17. Set the light switch to the on position rather than auto. The daytime running lights are, in fact, the headlights. The white strips illuminate at night in automatic mode (when sensors determine that lighting conditions necessitate the activation of the headlights) and also serve as turn signals. To keep the strips illuminated at all times, activate the headlights; the white strips will remain lit (aesthetically pleasing) until the turn signal is engaged, in which case the selected side will flash yellow. I own the Base Select Trim, hence this will be applicable to any trim level. The elevated trims have small hooks next to the headlights, serving as daytime running lights in conjunction with the headlamps.
  18. There are only six oil refineries in the UK, resulting in limited petrol supply. In Scotland, where I reside, the majority of energy is derived from green sources. Companies such as Esso and Tesco are prevalent. I have never considered myself an oil snob; the technology must support the specifications. Consider the Smith and Allen brand, which has been blending oils for 80 years.
  19. I will proceed with the task. Based on the fact that they now lack the necessary instruments, it is likely that they have not before performed this work, which does not inspire trust in me. It is desirable that they be able to get a copy of the haynes handbook for the 7DCL750.
