  1. Requires remapping. The update will restore the regular map by rectifying any alterations made during the mapping process.
  2. In addition to the comprehensive documentation, I recommend using authentic BMW rectangular rings (gaskets) that are positioned at the ends of the camshafts throughout the process.
  3. . I own the original 19-inch Michelin tires. After 21,000 miles, I have 6mm of tread remaining on both the front and rear tires (they were rotated a year ago). I recommend transitioning to Michelin tires all around, if it is within your budget.
  4. They always remove all the wheels; thus, I do not anticipate incurring any charges.
  5. I speculate if it pertains to cost reductions. The Skyactive G is a far simpler engine, hence it should be less expensive to manufacture.
  6. Has there been any improvement after the release of the 2.12 Update in mid-October? There were instances where versions 2.10 and 2.11 exhibited a dull or blank screen, necessitating a prolonged press of the Home Button to restore functionality. Occasionally, in version 2.12, I start driving and the radio station I was tuned onto need the Play button to be activated before any audio is heard.
  7. Yes, I believe that is the first artificial intelligence, and we may go from that point. There is a firm located in Epsom (DDR) that specialises in MB Gearboxes. The automobile will be sent to their facility to have the STAR Diagnostics reading performed. The total mileage on the vehicle is 104,776 miles. I am certain that you are correct on the 722.6 gearbox, since the RAC representative did mention it to me. I have a Mercedes Brooklands Surrey dealership located about 5 minutes away from me. However, I am really interested in preserving both my arms and legs for a considerable amount of time.
  8. Could someone provide an explanation for the possible reason for the abrupt loss of both forward and reverse drive in my gearbox? The automobile is free from any leaks. It had a filter and oil change two years ago, and a brand new Gearshifter was installed in August of last year. The vehicle will continue to operate until the oil temperature reaches a high level, at which point it will need to cool down. I have not yet performed a complete diagnostic using the Merc Star system. Upon the original failure on the Isle of Sheppey, there was a distinct 'Whirring sound' experienced when accelerating, which subsequently resulted in a loss of propulsion and necessitated a contact to the RAC.
  9. Consider using a jump pack. After a period of 3 months of inactivity, the battery in my possession became completely discharged. Attempted to charge with a Tender charger and then a charger with higher amperage, however neither were successful. Contacted the towing service to transport the vehicle to the dealership. Upon arrival of the truck, the driver used a jump pack to successfully start the automobile. After driving for one hour, the battery remained in good condition. Subsequently, I purchased a jump pack.
  10. Have you received responses to your enquiries?
  11. I believe the handbook does not include instructions for this particular feature, which involves turning off the media screen and displaying simply the clock by holding down the off button for a few seconds. This functionality may not be available in older vehicles like mine, but it is likely there in more recent models.
  12. The cost is comprehensible, but, it seems that the range of hues available in the UK is more limited. Is it due to the production of automobiles specifically designed for "stock" or "management" purposes? Indeed, I am aware that I have selected Hyacinth as my choice. Intentionally.
  13. I had the balance shaft of my automobile changed within the first year of ownership, which was covered by the warranty. I was informed that the issue was attributed to a defective batch installed during the period of 2019/2020. Based on the information I have gathered, it seems that this was a prevalent issue in early models of the Evoque. I have had no issues after then.
  14. I want for my device to function properly, and I believe the issue may be related to the installation of a towbar. The car is scheduled for its 10,000-mile servicing. It is now Thursday and I have posed the inquiry.
  15. This video provides a comprehensive analysis of Mercedes' failure in its EQ series, including the recent cancellation of the EQS and EQE models owing to underwhelming sales performance.
  16. Many strands sometimes leave you in a state of suspense. It is likely that most people have sold their Mercedes cars and moved on to other vehicles. It might be irritating, but sometimes you gain knowledge as you go.
  17. I recall being informed before that the absence of a catalytic converter on this platform does not significantly increase the volume compared to having a catalytic converter. Can someone confirm?
  18. INPA is not suitable for any BMW models after E46. If you are considering BMW software, I would recommend ISTA. However, it should be noted that getting ISTA to operate properly requires a significant amount of effort. Nevertheless, if it is functioning correctly, it is considered the top software available.
  19. Based on the events that have occurred, it seems imprudent to invest in hiring someone to repair the engine since it seems to be a source of potential complications. The cost of £3750 for a new engine may not be seen as a good bargain. However, if the automobile is extraordinary in all other aspects, it may be justifiable. In my opinion, the most favourable course of action would be to sell the car in its current condition, specifically for spare parts or repairs, and use the resulting funds, together with an additional £3/4k, to purchase a replacement vehicle.
  20. Although I completely agree that the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) system has to be reformed, I would have preferred to see the present tariffs, which are based on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, transition towards being based on all types of pollutants, particularly nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter. The roads are funded by general taxes. Therefore, it is reasonable to consider providing appropriate incentives to the owners of cars that do not emit pollutants directly into our streets, which are in close proximity to hospitals, residences, bicycles, walkers, care homes, and children playing. However, as it is an election year, our chancellor will prioritise actions those he believes would maximise his chances of gaining votes. The Prime Minister has already postponed the initial deadline of 2030 for the prohibition of sales of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Consequently, it seems that their rallying cry is essentially "if you desire to continue emitting pollutants, support our party in the elections".
  21. If you currently own any diagnostic tools, it is advisable to use them at this moment. Alternatively, if you are acquainted with someone who has diagnostic tools, it is opportune to express your appreciation for their valuable assistance and kindly remind them of the five monetary units they owe you.
  22. Have you contemplated the possibility of enveloping it in leather? That would be a more suitable match than carbon fibre.
  23. Take slow and deliberate breaths, savour the inhalation of the smoke, and refrain from any concerns, instead focusing on experiencing happiness.
  24. I prefer not to divert the focus of this topic by engaging in a debate comparing the merits of Generation 1 and Generation 2. Therefore, I would modify the statement as follows: "For me and numerous individuals, the year 2014/15 is widely regarded as the pinnacle of R8's production." The S tronic gearbox is the last iteration of the first generation model.
