Oil Leak - Replace the CCV vortex with a felt filter?
Black_raven replied to HOV's topic in General Car Chat
I believe the housing exhibited subtle variations, since when transitioning in the other direction, a whole unit was provided for replacement. -
To be honest, my C55 also bears identical scratch marks. It seems that one of its several prior owners was either a woman or a person involved in the business of prostitution.

Instruct her to rotate the ring so that the stone is oriented towards the inside. Similar to her behaviour when she goes out in the city centre with her female companions.

Windscreen wiper making contact with the frame
Black_raven replied to MDMH757's topic in General Car Chat
I concur. Here is a picture of mine when it is turned off. The driver's wiper blade comes quite close to touching the plastic trim located at the bottom of the windscreen. The picture provided by the original poster shows a far greater height. -
Disable the Keyless Entry Fob (on some models).
Black_raven replied to Doncaster34's topic in General Car Chat
The feature works well on my 2022 gen5 Sporty. However, caution must be used since I inadvertently caused both front windows to lower by about one cm when using the lock/unlock button. I failed to observe the situation, and due to the strong gusts of wind we had a fortnight ago, it repeatedly triggered the alarm. It took me some time to discover that the windows were open. -
The model mentioned is the Saltash SL500.

Best wishes in your pursuit. I visited Saltash last week. -
My remote parking feature is difficult to use, and recently, while attempting to demonstrate it, the vehicle moved forward but completely refused to drive in reverse. It is very remarkable when the device works properly, however. 😉

Could someone identify the illuminated button for me?

If the manufacturer installed it, then it will not cause any accelerated wear on the components, especially considering the 7-year guarantee. The primary focus is on reducing emissions. -
The centre console of the Sportage GT Line.

Thank you for the timely response. I examined the accessories available for the XCeed and discovered a boot liner specifically designed for the new vehicle. -
That is a significant undertaking.

Why not go for a direct pipeline instead?

What is the reason for the sluggish pace?

Indeed, she is...190. -

At the age of 60, very few people discuss the topic of reaching the age of 200. -

Additionally, there is a "boost" switch located near the end of the pedal's range of motion. -

Slow may be subjective, since what may be considered slow for one person may be considered quick for another. Undoubtedly, it is not a Porsche. However, my situation is currently satisfactory. -
There is a water leak next to the throttle pedal - WO3.
Black_raven replied to Black_raven's topic in General Car Chat
The issue is with the rubber grommet that secures the bonnet cable as it passes through the bulkhead. The object becomes distorted and finally develops significant leaks. I attached a long and slender tube to the nozzle of a sealant gun and meticulously filled it completely with sealant. (without the need for disassembling the fusebox or any other components). Indeed, the sealant will solidify and maybe shift its position. I have completed it on two occasions. The issue has been resolved. I have never had any water infiltration again. A friend who has his own automotive repair business briefly examined it and advised me on what actions to take. -

Black_raven replied to Black_raven's topic in General Car Chat
Currently occupied with work, but will have an opportunity to go into this at a later time. Does anybody have information on the WIS paper that provides instructions for removing the ECU fusebox located next to the master brake cylinder? I am able to locate the removal procedures for all other modules except for this particular one. 😞 -

The issue with the A/C drain is not pertinent to the leak I am experiencing. Once I figure out the process of entirely removing the fuel box, as well as removing the inner arch, plastics, and soundproofing beneath the steering wheel in the region of the bonnet release cable, I will be able to reach the issue and resolve it. By bisecting a circular rubber seal, it is possible to consistently and completely fit it into panelling around a cable, thereby sealing it. I have personally used this technique for many years without encountering any issues. In this case, it implies that there is no need to replace the whole bonnet release cable, which would be very impractical considering the amount of time it would take.I own a video capturing the genuine occurrence of the leak. Once I get the opportunity, I will allocate time to shoot further photographs. Regrettably, I am now in the midst of a series of nightshifts, so I am trying to find some time to work on it before the week concludes. I am astonished by the absence of any online articles with remedies or photographs pertaining to this issue and the origin of the leak. The main focus is on obstructed drainage systems and the process of speculating about the cause and determining appropriate actions to address the issue. However, there is a complete absence of any visual representation on the internet. This is certainly a prevalent issue. An automotive technician specialising in panel beating and bodywork examined the vehicle recently and indicated that the deteriorated seal responsible for water ingress is located under the fusebox. The subsequent action would include eliminating the object and commencing the process of capturing images with the camera. I will attempt to upload the footage of the breach into Photobucket immediately. -

Black_raven replied to Black_raven's topic in General Car Chat
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. -

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. -

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. -
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.

I had a same experience.
