Fixing an air leak in the P202B/P2007 system using a DIY method.

Thank you for the excellent information and pictures. -
What is their nature or identity? The R showcases their magnificence.

My automobile is a vintage model, therefore I have been searching for a gearbox with low mileage at a fair price for quite some time. It is very perplexing that Audi would want to use the same engine and gearbox for Gen 2.5. What is the purpose of paying an additional fee for the plus/performance option if the upgrade just involves a software configuration change?

Which brand of rear tyres does the SL55AMG use?
mrnobady replied to pharmoun's topic in General Car Chat
The performance of a UUHP tyre relies on its use. In typical driving situations, a UUHP tyre sacrifices its wet performance capabilities in order to achieve a greater degree of performance, which is biassed towards dry weather conditions. Determine the specific vulnerabilities of your present systems and make a well-informed decision to rectify those weaknesses. Comparing the UHP Michelin Pilot Sport 5 and Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, it can be concluded that the Asymmetric 6 offers a more dynamic and sporty driving experience. -
Upon replacing the batteries in my 2012 C-class, I did not affix any additional components. I completed the transfer in under one minute without any loss, including the radio code. The systems have enough capacitance for short-term storage.

Purchasing pre-owned authorised guidance
mrnobady replied to johnmayerrr's topic in General Car Chat
If the appropriate vehicle becomes available, you may arrange for the dealer to transport it to your nearby location and complete the purchase or exchange at that location. Upon purchasing my AUC, I located it on the BMW AUC website. The next day, I brought the tablet to a nearby dealership and indicated my desire for it, inquiring about the expected delivery time. The cost of having it delivered to me is £50. -
According to the dealer, if you have a hitch, you may use it for the rear. However, it is advisable to utilise the side jack points instead.

Thank you for providing this information. I was in need of the locations of the front and rear centre points. My vehicle is a mhev, so I don't have to worry about the batteries. However, the pinch weld spots at the four corners are far closer than the photo indicates, and there is a significant amount of plastic around them. I purchased rubber pinch weld protectors from Amazon, which proved to be effective in my experimental lift setup. I do not have the same problem as the original poster, since mine is rotated during the winter exchanges. However, it would be desirable to do two tasks with a single lift. The location of the rear centre lift point is peculiar, since it appears to be associated with the rear differential rather than a flat area. I will inquire with my dealer service manager on their recommendations.

What is your opinion on the Sparco Sportster SPX seats? What I most like about them is their carbon fibre shell, reclining feature, and the stitching that perfectly complements my décor. The alcatera centres and the simple, beautiful design provide a timeless touch. Furthermore, I have the ability to eliminate the outdated original equipment manufacturer (OEM) diamond stitched sport seats.

I will purchase a single JL Audio 10W6-D4 speaker since I have used it in my previous vehicles and have a strong affinity for its performance. In addition to a JL VX600x1 and VX800x8 for the inside, I will be retaining the standard interiors for the time being. Regarding the seats, is the airbag in the passenger seat now deactivated? Excluding the airbag located on the passenger side of the dashboard.

I have a strong preference for a certain bucket seat manufactured by Sparco for the Gen 2. However, I am not aware of any merchants in this location that are authorised Sparco Dealers. Alternatively, it would be more advantageous if the product were only available via Sparco. Implying that I am eligible for a substantial reduction in price for a set of bucket seats. Furthermore, I have concerns about the passenger airbag light and performance after replacing the seats. Is the airbag still operational or does it need to be bypassed? The loss of the speakers in the headrest is of little concern to me, since I will be installing a comprehensive bespoke audio system. Sound system: I want to install a single 8-inch or 10-inch subwoofer using simply a monaural amplifier. In order to avoid dominating the factory midrange and high-frequency speakers, I need to adjust my audio setup accordingly. I replicated the same configuration in both my SQ5 and SQ8 vehicles, which included the removal of the original subwoofer. The resulting audio quality is really pleasing. When it comes to the R8, the most reliable option is to put the subwoofer directly on the rear shelf. However, I am now exploring other possible positions. Has anybody successfully placed a downward-facing subwoofer in their Audi R8? Could you please provide the specific position of the factory sub beneath the passenger side dash? Q2: Is there sufficient space on the rear shelf to install a subwoofer in a recessed manner on the bottom section of the wall behind the seats? Is there metal concealed under the carpets in that location?

Assistance needed in finding an oil leak in a R8 V8.

Absolutely, it is possible to do the task without the need to remove the engine. However, it is necessary to remove the cooling water. The image displays components of a V10 engine. -

The source of the leak may be from the cover situated just above the chain case. Meticulously cleanse this area and proceed with riding once again. After travelling a distance of several hundred km, it becomes apparent where the oil is depleting. -

This is not a conduit for transporting oil, but rather the conduit connected to the secondary air valve. The seal is made of metal. The issue of why the oil is expelled is of more significance. -
Rattling noise coming from the doors of the CX-60.
mrnobady replied to mrnobady's topic in General Car Chat
Thank you for the clue 👍 -
Do others hear a rattling noise coming from the doors? My speedometer begins at 130 kilometres per hour. I strongly suspect that the issue lies with the LED strip located within the door trim. It is quite irritating.

I own a 2017 C250 d AMG Line Saloon, and I have observed that the rear tyres on my vehicle have a very limited lifespan, lasting barely 4,000 km. The Pirelli Cint P7 tyre model. Is this considered typical and are there other tyre options that may be more
mrnobady replied to colinallcars's topic in General Car Chat
Greetings, the vehicle I own was equipped with Continental 5p tyres, which exhibited a notably unsatisfactory rate of wear. I have just installed the Goodyear Asi 5 tyre, which is a far superior tyre in terms of overall performance. However, because to limited availability, I have temporarily installed an inexpensive Chinese tyre until my new Goodyear tyre is delivered. -
What are the anticipated performance outcomes for the CX-70?
mrnobady replied to WanderlustGuru's topic in General Car Chat
I concur with this assertion. I am interested in acquiring a vehicle with dimensions somewhat less than those of a CX-9, but larger than a CX-60. Specifically, I am seeking a vehicle that falls between the length range of 190-192 inches. The desired width need to have resemblance to that of the CX-50, while including the assertive design elements and refined aesthetic of the CX-60. I want the inclusion of identical engine options. -
It seems that you own a vehicle from the year 2022, and I have come across grievances pertaining to the aforementioned issues you have raised. In the year 2023, notable enhancements have been made to the vehicle model under discussion. These include the implementation of a refined suspension system, the incorporation of sound isolation measures inside the doors, significant advancements in the gearbox controller software, the absence of any peculiar auditory disturbances, and the mitigation of reported system problems. I am perplexed by the dealer's refusal to provide assistance. If I were in your position, I would recommend reporting this matter to the official Mazda importer in your country. However, I appreciate that this suggestion may no longer be relevant because you have chosen to go with Ford. Regardless, I would not recommend that the whole population refrain from purchasing this vehicle just based on your experience with the first production model. Personally, I am really satisfied with my own automobile and have a strong affection for it. The subject may be seen in its native environment. I have a personal inclination towards the aesthetic appeal of the aforementioned vehicle, in addition to the notable presence of 327 mechanical horsepower concealed behind its visually striking exterior. This preference is juxtaposed with the design characteristics of the Ford Kuga. However, it is important to acknowledge that individual preferences may vary.

The incident involving my keys did not occur.
