No association. I recently saw it while doing a brief search.

Which brand of MAF sensor should I use as a replacement?
colinallcars replied to DreamCatcher88's topic in General Car Chat
I would not recommend purchasing Ridex MAF since inexpensive components often have reliability problems. Adhere to the original specifications provided by the manufacturer. Remember to reset adaptations after changing components such as the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor. -
Tyre repair kits for do-it-yourself (DIY) use.
colinallcars replied to VVC-Geeza's topic in General Car Chat
Personally, I see any do-it-yourself solution as a temporary remedy to get me home, with the intention of having a professional repair it as soon as possible, rather than waiting for a long time for assistance to arrive. However, your mileage may vary. -

Thank you! I have pondered the durability and strength of the tools included in these packages. I have saved this particular item since it has more 'prongs'. https://www.amazon.co.uk/CKAuto-Universal-Emergency-Puncture-Motorcycles/dp/B0BZXR8Z8J/ -
Tyre repair kits for do-it-yourself (DIY) use.

What was the level of complexity? I am inquiring since I will soon be transitioning from runflat tyres to regular tyres. Due to the lack of room in the BMW, the proposed solution is to carry a compressor and a repair kit that uses a string-based method to cure punctures. This choice is made since there is a lack of trust in the effectiveness of a can of sealant to repair a puncture. -
The powertrain is certainly distinctive, particularly since BMW has discontinued the 6-cylinder engine in the M140i. I had eccentric ideas like installing one in the Superb 😆 In the past, we have seen similar levels of performance with 4-cylinder engines, such as the Evo FQ400. However, what sets our current engines apart is their improved tractability and daily usage.

The RS3, a model that competes head-on with the A45, was likely the intended target. A35 territory is S3.

Seeking assistance, counsel is required.

By the way, there is no need to feel guilty about your six-week duration. I have surpassed a duration of three months. Frankly, I anticipate that it will be beneficial. If you possess the ability to operate a vehicle or make an attempt to do so, while simultaneously having someone available to capture a brief video recording, it may be possible to fulfil your request. If my situation were similar, I would inform you. -
Anticipating a year with a CX90 and around 18,000 kilometres.
colinallcars replied to HOV's topic in General Car Chat
I acquired the MHEV GT trim in Canada as well. This is the 280 horsepower model belonging to the Top trim. Consistent outcomes, with no complications save for small recalls. Did not give much thought to the PHEV. The cost of power required to cover the range of an electric vehicle (EV) is comparable to the cost of petrol for covering the same distance. In addition, the PHEV exhibits a higher frequency of problems, and the future expenses associated with replacing the much bigger battery remain uncertain. The CX90 was compared to many three-row rivals, including Telluride, Pilot, Pathfinder, and others. After doing a test drive, it became evident that CX90 was the most favourable option among the options of CX90 and Pilot. In general, there is a higher level of premium. -
To mitigate the impact of bumps, I would consider reducing the wheel size by one or two and opting for BF Goodrich with a higher wall size. BFG Both All Terrain and Trail Terrain. Previously, I used BFG All Terrains on my Disco until it transitioned completely to off-road capabilities... Then Toyo MT.. ;

Phone sync difficulties with RNSE - RSNE update?
colinallcars replied to MidnightMarauder's topic in General Car Chat
I have a preference for the original appearance. The combination of RNS e and B&O is sufficient for me. -
Phone sync difficulties with RNSE - RSNE update?
colinallcars replied to MidnightMarauder's topic in General Car Chat
The year of manufacture seems to be 2009, classified as Gen 1. Locate an individual possessing a mobile device in order to ascertain if the issue is with the device or your phone. -

colinallcars replied to MidnightMarauder's topic in General Car Chat
What are the consequences of connecting an additional phone? Can the unit be classified as a Gen 1 or a Gen 1 facelift variant? -

Please go to the Bluetooth settings of your mobile device and verify the pairing configuration with your device. Is it possible to share phone numbers and make phone calls? -
Assistance required for R129 SL500 halting problem
colinallcars replied to colinallcars's topic in General Car Chat
It functions flawlessly but shuts off while stopped at traffic lights or stationary. No sputtering, misfiring, or jerking, simply as if I had turned off the ignition. -

colinallcars replied to colinallcars's topic in General Car Chat
No codes are shown on the Star system. A malfunctioning Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor may lead to irregular idling and driving, however in this case, it only sometimes turns off while stopping in traffic or at lights. -
Assistance required for R129 SL500 halting problem
colinallcars replied to colinallcars's topic in General Car Chat
The gearbox was serviced a few years ago and has not been inspected since. It changes smoothly without any problems. I will ensure that they verify. Thank you. -
Hello, everyone. I own a 1997 R129 SL500 and it is experiencing a problem. The occurrence started last week. While travelling at a speed of around 5 mph in traffic, the vehicle had a sudden and brief decrease followed by a rapid increase in engine revolutions. Subsequently, all dashboard lights illuminated and the engine stopped. I had no difficulty restarting the vehicle and thereafter drove one mile back home. A few days later, I drove a short distance without any issues, then it stuck at traffic lights shortly after. No fuel problems, no spluttering or misfiring, simply sudden illumination of dashboard lights and engine shutdown. I brought it to my independent Mercedes specialist who connected it to Star diagnostic system and found no issues. He said that it may be a crank position sensor, so he purchased one. I drove to his garage without any problems, but it stuck again when I stopped at adjacent traffic signals. He installed the sensor and hoped for the best, but unfortunately, the engine began briefly and then stopped again. I drove a little distance home and the vehicle stalled once while stopped, but restarted without any issues and I was able to drive back. I waited for a few minutes with the engine running outside the home. Suddenly, there was a brief reduction in revolutions per minute, causing the engine to stall in the momentarily before restarting without any problems. I'm curious whether it occurs more often when the engine is heated. The car will get a check-up by a traditional Mercedes expert on Monday, which is annoying. I intended to drive 25 miles today, which may be OK, but I am concerned about the possibility of stalling at high speed on a dual road. Has anybody encountered this and can provide any recommendations?

Buying extended warranty for expired warranty V10+
colinallcars replied to alabbasi's topic in General Car Chat
The situation varies depending on the warranty business. I had a labour dispute between the dealership and the warranty company where the dealership filed two service orders, one of which had an exaggerated labour rate intended for the warranty company. After being confronted, the dealership naturally retracted their statement.
