  1. On drowsy mornings, I have received the 'time for a break' notification as I depart the driveway. ๐Ÿ˜‚
  2. It is located in "Other marques"; I have just examined it.
  3. As I recall from the installation on my W211, it necessitated utilising STAR to inform the vehicle that it no longer possessed a COMAND unit (i.e., configured to Audio20 or a comparable system). The menus were reorganised to make the clock setting accessible in the dashboard cluster, instead of being configured using COMAND. To connect the steering wheel controls, an interface box is required to facilitate communication between the steering wheel and the head unit.
  4. My 2013 204 was equipped with the identical M274 engine as yours (albeit in a 1.6 variant) and experienced a fuel leak in the flexible hose connecting the rigid underbody fuel line to the High Pressure Fuel pump located at the rear of the engine. Upon replacement, the garage observed a modified component number for the hose and clip. The odour of fuel in my automobile was distinctly perceptible beneath the hood and via the air vents into the interior.
  5. Congratulations on your new vehicle. Kindly provide numerous photographs upon receipt. It would be intriguing to learn about these. ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘ Additionally.
  6. Exquisite! Autotrader and this platform, undoubtedly? To get an accurate valuation, it is essential to provide commentary on the service history. I possess no knowledge on these matters; nevertheless, I am aware that well-maintained tiny convertibles with a favourable past tend to sell rapidly, often to those under 30. (The wife has owned many Mx5 vehicles.) Others here possess more knowledge on SLK price. There are a distinct set of individuals that possess a strong affinity for yellow automobiles. (From some time ago)

  8. Encountered a vexing problem with my equipment, which was ultimately identified as a leaking pipe, in addition to a leaking compressor and a questionable airbag. The pipe had eroded at the point of contact with the bodywork next to the compressor. A little clip is included that effectively ensures contact. It seemed that debris had infiltrated the space between the pipe and the clip/bodywork, gradually causing wear. It was undetectable even with specialised leak detection equipment. My frustration in attempting to inspect the pipes inadvertently exacerbated the leak to a noticeable extent.

  10. This is primarily indicative of malfunctioning reluctor rings or another factor causing inaccurate wheel speed readings, such as a disparity in wheel or tire diameter. Illumination upon key-on without motion indicates a circuit or component malfunction, while awaiting wheel rotation suggests improbable data.
  11. Neither the Canadian nor the American trims include motorized folding mirrors.
  12. Regrettably, I am unable to assist; I would recommend YouTube tutorials as the most viable option.
  13. Outstanding performance! Delightful vehicle! ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘
  14. No necessity...the vehicle will resolve it after a few kilometers.
  15. 12.45 volts indicates around 80% charge, suggesting potential for improvement. The voltage must be measured around thirty minutes after the engine is turned down; otherwise, it may register inaccurately high. Avoid being misled by this. It is simple to verify the alternator's output by measuring the battery voltage when the engine is operational; it should range from 13.5 to 14.7 volts. Any value below this requires further investigation.
