  1. Although I previously attempted to fix it with silicone, the leak has resurfaced in the same location in recent days. The location of the component seems to be next to the primary fusebox, in close proximity to the brake master cylinder. The most probable cause is the seal of the bonnet release cable, however my query is. Could someone provide guidance on the proper procedure for removing the main fusebox in order to get access underneath it, please? The vehicle in question is a 2005 Saloon model of the WO3 C class, specifically designed for right-hand drive operation. I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with information on this topic. I have not yet had the opportunity to get into it and examine it. If I discover a suitable platform to upload the video of the leak, I will distribute it to enable others to see it.
  2. The leak recurred and was not in the region of the bonnet release cable. I am still uncertain about the source of its entry. Once again, on the left side of the vehicle. I have thoroughly cleaned all drain hoses and applied silicone on all plastic edges to prevent any potential fractures in the plastic, which might allow water to flow through. Currently, I am eagerly anticipating further precipitation in order to do a test. Can someone who has a W03 saloon/coupe kindly provide photographs of the driver's side bottom windscreen area and the inner wing of their vehicle? I would want to compare them with mine to ensure that everything is in proper order. I just had my vehicle undergo its MOT inspection last Saturday, exactly one week ago. On Monday, my rear glass broke. I had it replaced on Friday. Then, on Saturday night, I had a leak into the driver's footwell during what was perhaps the most intense period of rain we had here. Discuss a brief period of unfortunate circumstances.
  3. Your advise about the bonnet release cable grommet was accurate and helpful, my friend. It was detached from the lip that forms a seal with the panel. I currently do not have any available time to remove components in order to replace the cable and grommet. Meanwhile, I have successfully sealed it with silicone. There are currently no other leaks from any other sources, therefore we hope that the existing leak is the only issue. On a tempestuous and rainy day, a test was conducted to see whether anything could remain dry. The test was successful, as the object in question managed to stay dry. Exhale.
  4. There is a water leak entering via the plastic card located next to the throttle pedal. W03 Saloon. Currently unable to verify it, therefore I decided to share it here to see if anybody has seen this situation before. There is now heavy rainfall here, yet the automobile has never had any water leakage even during intense downpours. Can the blockage of the bonnet vents by leaves or other debris result in water drainage issues? I am now making an educated estimate till I get the opportunity to examine it further.
  5. I didn't press the shift key, therefore the number 3 is shown as the pound symbol (£). Therefore, the amount is £50.
  6. The occurrence of a head gasket failure is very uncommon, however turbocharger issues are not unheard of. Although not considered frequent, turbochargers are one of the most vulnerable components of the S55 engine.The rate of £140 per hour seems exorbitant. In comparison, I only spend £350 per hour at an independent garage run by a former BMW technician.
  7. If the issue is with the turbo, it is advisable to see an expert. There are several choices available for turbo-related problems. May I ask where you are located?
  8. I used the reaming tool as instructed to expand the hole, but, I had difficulty in inserting the strip. I revisited the task and used the reamer once again. I believe the kit I used was of low quality, and the strips were too thick. This experience has prompted me to purchase a more robust version of the insertion tool.
  9. Search for "tyre repair screw" on Amazon to get a wide selection of options.
  10. There was a screw lodged in the tyre. Extracting the screw was a simple task. Enlarging the hole with a reamer was also straightforward. Threading the string through the hole was not difficult. However, inserting the string into the hole was somewhat challenging. The insertion tool became bent in the process, but ultimately, the string was successfully inserted.
  11. I used the strings on my Mondeo, and while it proved to be more challenging than anticipated, it ultimately proved effective.
  12. Is it possible to remap my 2020 V8 Quattro with 562 horsepower to a performance specification of 602 horsepower?
  13. It seems that some tinkering has taken place. Most likely an effort to rectify a prior malfunction by using a feed or employing a remote earth instead of addressing the initial issue directly. The side lights seem to be searching for a ground connection via the indication warning bulbs. If both bulbs illuminate, it might indicate that the danger light circuit is affected. Perhaps inspect the non-original wiring to determine its path and the circuits it impacts. As previously said, it seems that a seemingly minor failure has escalated into a more complex series of problems.
  14. Please review this document since it is important to avoid modifying the rolling circumference.
  15. I also contemplated the use of Turbo blankets. Nevertheless, the task of wrapping them is quite laborious and inconvenient. Removing the rear engine cover significantly reduces the temperature of the S63 by expelling heat.
  16. On my CLK500, this indicated the start of a Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor malfunction. Should I check the diagnostic trouble codes to confirm?
  17. The 2019 C300 required a new battery upon our acquisition in 2020. The MB demonstration had little mileage but was often idle owing to Covid.
  18. The automobile probably underwent many starts during testing following installation, maybe more while being transported about the showroom, and another after you departed. A 6-mile journey home probably wouldn't have completely recharged it. You don't need to worry, provided you will be driving it in the next several days.
  19. Use this tool to analyse how your battery is affected by driving style, driving speed, and temperature. You may use it with many electric vehicles including plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. It is essential to choose the Mazda CX-60 to familiarise yourself with your vehicle.
