  1. It is uncertain whether Mercs perform this function, but VW vehicles do it to regulate the temperature of the valve and filter, which can overheat when contaminated with soot. My local Volkswagen dealership performed this routinely, and I suspected the thermostat was faulty, but a brief online search validated my concerns. Only likely pertinent if yours predates Adblue.
  2. Is it a diesel engine? VWs perform this action when the EGR system requires a cleansing. If you operate the vehicle on the highway for 10 minutes, does it remain stationary? It has not been observed occurring on our 220 D, even at 150,000 miles.
  3. What does "a lot of sense" refer to? The immigrant problem, benefit scroungers, why EVs are no good? You really ought to have figured out how the internet works by now; I'm not bothered either.
  4. My cousin drives transporters around Belfast and knows people who've worked with Mcerlane Logistics.From what he's told me they're primarily a freight operation and the vehicle sales are a newer part of the business, apparently the cars are mostly finance recoveries bought through auctions, checked over and then advertised.
  5. Since it is dependent on the nature of the problem, whether you choose new or used parts, the person performing the repair, and so on, I am unable to provide any advice. In any case, you won't know for sure until you open the door and take a good look. However, if you are unsure of the vehicle's overall condition, I recommend taking it in for a MOT regardless to find out what it fails on, especially if the inspection is imminent. It would be a waste of money to fix the door if it turns out to need far more expensive repairs and you end up selling the automobile. The obvious caveat is that I don't know anything about the car or your situation, other than the fact that it is a Mark 1 Focus.
  6. Not going to open from the inside, outside, or both, will it? I don't mind if it won't open from the inside. If it won't open from the outside, I'd say it's a bust. That is, unless by some stroke of luck they open it from the other side to check the seat belts and everything! The n/s/r door on an old car wouldn't open for some reason—the control rod link had come loose, but I didn't notice until the MOT because I hadn't used that door in a long time! It is unbelievable to me that it is any laxer now.
  7. It states, however, that "the current version is newer than the update."
  8. What does its worth even mean?

  10. You might be wrong if you assume it's completely random. Assuming the following conditions are met: Unless the passenger possesses the key fob, the walk away feature will not activate if a passenger exits and closes the door 'After' the driver closes the door and walks out of range. If I go around the back of the car to the passenger side, open and close the door, and listen closely, I can hear the arming chirp. However, you are unable to move around the vehicle before being asked to walk away. The tailboard won't close until the key fob holder is no longer within range, at which point the walk away feature won't work.
  11. Choosing a pressure level in the middle of the suggested and maximum range is typically what we suggest. Never fill a tyre to more than the maximum pressure warning written on the side. Start with a little more pressure than advised, and if the ride quality is compromised, you can lower the pressure. It's better to err on the side of caution. Get in touch with an EPC specialist if you suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder; they will be able to inform you which sticker is right for your vehicle identification number (VIN). Additionally, I recommend ordering the sticker from MB once you get the right P/N.
  12. An MoTer could reject it if it appears to have been tampered with. It may be beneficial to consult your partner for his thoughts about it. Does the DPF have that on the intake side? Because a lower differential pressure would result from that. It might lead to a highly unlikely interpretation, though. On my own, I would replace. However, you should inspect the DPF's tail pipe. I received two pairs of female and male items in my purchase. There is a female receiver on my back of the exhaust. Your V5 confirms that you have a Euro 5 vehicle, and your emissions plate details 0.1, so it must be. I purchased one in January from AutoDoc for £310.51; however, it did not fit, but it might have been adapted to suit.
  13. The UK has a cut-off date of 24 November 2024 for all quick chargers to begin accepting contactless payment. Due to the impracticality of many older designs, they are not legally required to be retrofitted onto charge stations that were established prior to this.
