  1. I have encountered extensive web literature indicating that this issue is prevalent across many Mercedes models; I reside in Bristol. I do not possess a warranty for the vehicle, unfortunately.
  2. I have discovered that my cam sensors are leaking, possibly along with the magnets, and I am experiencing issues with the engine, particularly when cold, although it has begun to occur while warm as well, especially during acceleration from a standstill. The engine revs fluctuate erratically when the vehicle is barely in motion, indicating improper engagement during acceleration. This issue also occurs during reverse, although it improves as the engine reaches optimal temperature. Idling can be somewhat challenging as well. Upon observing the sensor leakage, I have linked the issue to the ECU, which has experienced infiltration. However, I have not yet opened the ECU for inspection. A persistent warning light for the O2 sensors in bank one has reappeared, despite their replacement, leading me to suspect the ECU is at fault. Is it possible to save the ECU? Will I need to repair the wiring harness?
  3. For a position of that nature, I believe I would only wish to rely on Cleeveley, even if it necessitated travel.
  4. I am presently seeking a new vehicle for my wife and have been considering the CX-70 PHEV for some time. Are there any concerns regarding the vehicle, such as common issues or similar matters? What is the general consensus regarding the vehicle? I admire its appearance and need additional information from current owners. Has the used market for this vehicle declined? My local Mazda dealership offers several certified pre-owned Premium Plus models with 5,000 kilometres for $47,000, which appears to be a low price. Is this accurately positioned in the valley, or does it appear strangely low? I reviewed the Carfax for one of the vehicles, and it appears it has been taken to the dealership twice for computer-related services. Is this a matter of concern?
  5. I have recently visited eBay, allowing me to answer my own inquiry on the puck. The description in the handbook referenced by Old Drongo aligns with my handbook; however, the illustrations of the jack points do not indicate the presence of this seam, nor do they clarify the function of the dimples. As for Mogless and Noublue's use of a puck, do you use the puck as is or do you modify it? Is the puck utilised when employing a scissors jack? I apologise if I appear uninformed; nevertheless, I am not an automotive technician, therefore I am exercising caution.
  6. I have identified what I believe to be the front jack point; it seems to be a vertical metal weld seam including two dimples (inverted U-shaped recesses in the seam, for lack of a better term). Several years ago, I owned Vauxhalls that featured a comparable jack point, but with only a single dimple. On the Vauxhalls, the dimple accommodated a lug situated at the centre of the jack (jack supplied by Vauxhall). Does the Kia have an option for selecting a certain dimple, or should I position the jack between the two dimples, or is there another method? Are these ice hockey pucks referred to by that term on eBay, or do they have an alternative designation there?
  7. I possess a 72-registered Sportage, acquired a month ago, and it is my inaugural Kia. How can I identify a jacking point on the vehicle? I purchased a full-size spare wheel, and it fits well in the designated "spare" position. When at home, I can choose between a trolley jack and a scissor jack to elevate the car. While travelling, I possess only a scissors jack for wheel replacement. Where does Kia propose positioning a jack under the car, and do these locations vary based on the type of jack employed? Thank you for your assistance.
  8. There existed The Mk1 Fiesta XR2 employed a 1.6 variant of the Kent Crossflow engine, while the Mk2 Fiesta XR2 utilised the 1.6 CVH engine. With the introduction of the Mk3 Fiesta, the XR2 was equipped with fuel injection, resulting in the XR2i designation.
  9. Greetings, gentlemen, You have likely reviewed this several times, but any recommendations would be extremely appreciated. I am seeking an effective fuel injector cleaning for a 2015 Mercedes E220 Bluetec Diesel A207, which has around 63,000 kilometers. I intended to spend a few minutes online acquiring one, believing it to be a universal solution; but, I was mistaken. My automobile is turbocharged; should I consider that while purchasing it? Thank you in advance.
  10. Thank you very much. I now need someone to install it. I believe a new rear bumper bar is also necessary, correct? It also states that no encoding is required. Contemplation.
  11. uuuu I appreciate your response. Is it a lasting solution? I am curious if the Eco Pro mode feature is available if it is removable. However, electrical systems remain continuously linked, suggesting a potentially analogous situation. Thank you one again. That is really valuable information.
  12. Greetings, Has anybody installed a removable towbar on their G11 7 Series (my model is from 2021) for bicycle carriers? What is the monetary value I am seeing, and is it discernible when detached?
  13. I was also deterred by the expense of a quality fault code scanner. Following the recommendations provided, I purchased an identical Icarsoft model. Undoubtedly not inexpensive, however.... It has recouped its cost and generated more value upon first usage.
  14. thank you both. Indeed, it seems we erred by not scrutinizing the reports more thoroughly; I will request the Oasis next time.
