  1. Determining the impact of this sensor is challenging because to the reliance on functional thermostats and glow plug systems as key factors for a regen. How long have you owned the car?
  2. Apologies, the pipe in your automobile is not made of metal. Here is component number 7. RealOEM.com is an internet-based catalogue of BMW parts. The DPF regen should not induce any sluggishness, however it may result in a coarser engine tone. A code of 480a would be assigned for minor blockade, while a code of 481a would be assigned for substantial blockade.
  3. The error number 4390 is assigned to the sensor located in the metal intercooler pipe, namely in close proximity to the throttle body. Your lethargy symptoms may be attributed to a clogged ductal plexus.
  4. This is the information I am seeking. Over the past weekend, I had the opportunity to drive three different vehicles: a Ferrari 430 Scuderia, a Porsche 992 GT3 PDK, and a Ferrari 812 GTS. Among these, I found the PDK to be the least captivating. While it is known for its exceptional speed and reliability, it lacks the ability to captivate the driver. The gear shifts are smooth and lack a noticeable sense of motion. While the performance of the PDK is flawless, it falls short in terms of engaging the driver. The 812's double-clutch transmission excelled in both uphill and downhill conditions. However, the presence of the colossal engine enhances the experience and lends a sense of excitement to each mile. Conversely, the gearbox of the 430 exhibited jerky and slow performance at low speeds. However, it provided a very visceral experience while driving at high speeds, with obvious shifts. The entire sensation was akin to driving a clutch-less manual transmission vehicle, with complete engagement. I would not choose it as a versatile vehicle for daily use. In congested traffic, it would be a PITA, but for dynamic driving, it seems to be excellent. As someone who has previously had a manual automobile, I would likely find the R-Tronic transmission to be more satisfactory. However, I am quite concerned about its dependability in a pre-used vehicle.
  5. Thank you to all of you! The pluses shown here range from 95,000 to 100,000, whereas the GTs range from 110,000 to 115,000. Despite the GTs being older, I anticipated a wider disparity because to the restricted production and substantial enhancements that enhance the exclusivity of this model. Therefore, I speculated that there may be an issue with this model maintaining a lesser value than anticipated. That is a valuable piece of information. The manual V10 is really enticing, but it incurs exorbitant expenses (with a valid justification, but we are far).
  6. Greetings, everybody. I am now seeking to purchase my first R8 (generation 1 only) and I am uncertain if the GT pre facelift or the Plus facelift is a more worthwhile investment, considering the additional cost of around 15k. Above all things, I am particularly intrigued by the driving experience. Which drive is more captivating between the two options? The automobile will serve just as my weekend or summer vehicle, without any need for practicality, comfort, technology, or any other features. It will provide me with pure driving enjoyment. Is the GT a reliable option (R-tronic...)? I am referring about automobiles with a maximum mileage of 30,000 km. Thank you to everyone!
  7. Retain your first generation. Oh, another owner from New Jersey? I have not before seen your vehicle in this vicinity. Which specific region of New Jersey?
  8. Congratulations on acquiring a luxurious Mercedes as your first automobile... Another perspective from an older generation on modifications... I would allocate my hard-earned funds into purchasing a select number high-quality detailing products and engaging in regular maintenance. Maintain the appearance and performance of your Mercedes. In my opinion, brake callipers that are well cleaned and painted will have a far more appealing appearance compared to a forty-pound boot spoiler. Take pleasure in your automobile.
  9. Exclusive to all Turbo S variants. There is a button located underneath the mirror adjustment.
  10. Thank to everybody. Which year do you recommend for early petrol CLS models? Additionally, could you recommend any other Mercedes-Benz models within the price range of £3,000 to £5,000 that have good longevity if well maintained?
  11. Greetings, everyone, I would appreciate your combined thoughts and expertise on this, if possible. Thank you. I am exploring the market for ULEZ compatible vehicles within a certain price, and the Mercedes-Benz CLS often appears in search results. I have seen many items listed for sale in the price range of £3,000 to £5,000, with some examples available here: Mercedes Benz Cls cars for under £5,000 available for sale on Desperate Seller. When a car reaches the £5,000 price point, it usually falls between the 2006-2010 model years and has a mileage ranging from 70,000 to 140,000 km. Are CLS automobiles in this price range better avoided owing to probable high maintenance costs as they age or accumulate mileage? Are there any specific models that perform better at this age and mileage compared to others? Seeking guidance or recommendations for a prospective Mercedes-Benz owner. Thank you everybody, it's lovely to be here!
  12. I like the vintage bus and appreciate the authentic sales confirmation from a bygone era.
  13. Fully recovered. Required a new communication device and organised wiring. Flawless 👌
  14. Unaware of the car's stop-start environmental feature, the issue might perhaps be related to the battery. 👍
  15. Hello everyone, Our R59 has just been reporting several issues, but are they really present? Upon starting and driving the vehicle, warning messages appear indicating low tyre pressure, ABS failure, low brake disc and gearbox problem. What may be causing these issues to occur now? The tyre is not flat, the brake discs were recently inspected after its MOT, unsure about the ABS or gearbox, but it drives well. Schedule an appointment with BMW on January 25th. If you have any insights regarding the cause of this issue, do inform me.

  17. I am opposed to the implementation of the wheel.
  18. If one wants to perform the process of draining and refilling differentials...I reverse onto appropriate ramps...First, the front of the object is elevated, followed by a subsequent lowering onto two more ramps that are inserted horizontally. Additionally, it is possible to lower the vehicle onto jack stands by positioning them at the front jack points. This is OK to me...
  19. No, I have tried this on several occasions. The seat belt was securely fastened, and the armrest was carefully inspected on many occasions. The driver-side seat, with a reclining mechanism of 60%, is persistently unable to achieve a fully flat position. In addition, one would expect the absence of a spatial gap between the seats in the second and third rows when they are folded. Contrary to the prevailing notion, this assertion is unfounded. There exists a substantial disparity. Consequently, the act of keeping little objects among these two rows lacks purpose. The design exhibits suboptimal qualities.
  20. This occurrence served as the impetus for the selection of the title of this discourse. I am uncertain about the intended definition of the term "Flat" as described in the handbook. Does the image above accurately depict the concept being discussed? Based on the findings obtained from online research, it is evident that this question is often encountered. Numerous people have inquired about this same subject, with some respondents suggesting that the object can really be completely flattened, as seen in the image. Conversely, others have corroborated your account by stating that it lies almost flat. The information provided in the handbook does not align with the term "almost." A visual representation is forthcoming.
  21. However, this occurrence is limited to the second row on the passenger side, namely seat number 40. The driver's side (60) rests onto the seat surface without achieving full flatness.
