  1. I would want to learn about the troubles you had during the first months of ownership, since you own the same model of Evoque as I do, but are 6-7 months farther along in your experience. It would be beneficial to be informed in advance. My vehicle required a new door lock and replacement of both the primary and auxiliary batteries prior to my acquisition, and subsequently necessitated the replacement of a rear shock absorber (covered under warranty).
  2. You are correct, but just about the 2026 facelifted vehicles.
  3. One aspect to contemplate here? Do you intend to retain the vehicle for over eight years? If not, refrain from excessive contemplation. Provided you remain within the battery warranty term, unless you exceed 100,000 miles.(uncertain on precise miles) Include instances of 10-year-old Leafs or Souls that maintain a satisfactory battery percentage after a decade without thermal control. Concerns about battery life are of little priority.
  4. My device reaches a full charge of 100% each time I charge it at home. It is used inside 24 hours, so I have no problems around it.
  5. If they are debadged, request the VIN number for decoding purposes. The exact model number will be shown on that, or request to see the V5 document.
  6. A brief examination of some front suspension components reveals that the part numbers for shocks (dampers), springs, and control arms are identical for the 2024-2025 CX-90 and CX-70 models.
  7. I own an antiquated Nokia (lacking a SIM card or battery) in my R129 - it seems more aesthetically pleasing than an unoccupied cradle!
  8. Engage the parking brake, release the foot from the brake pedal (the vehicle may roll somewhat if on an incline), and then shift into park. However, that pertains to a mechanical parking brake. I detest the necessity of coercing an automobile out of park.
  9. I'll have a close look, thanks mate! Are there any other identified potentials that could cause this, or is it highly probable that the previously mentioned pump seals are responsible?
  10. Thanks for the insight. I have thoroughly explored YouTube in the past, but I was unable to locate any videos that explicitly showcased my car model or configuration. If you have encountered one, would you be so kind as to share it with me? I may have overlooked one or failed to search in the appropriate locations. Salutations
  11. As a first-time Mercedes owner, I need guidance. I recently purchased a 2016 (66 Plate) Mercedes CLA 220D Shooting Brake approximately 2 to 2.5 months ago, and I am currently experiencing difficulties with clearing my windscreen. While activating the screenwash, the motor is audible, indicating it is functioning; nevertheless, the water pressure is insufficient, resulting in a mere trickle from the jets that fails to reach the windscreen. When the washer reservoir is full, I must depress the washer button for around 20 seconds for water to begin dispensing. Subsequently, if I rapidly push the button, I can get modest amounts of fluid on the windscreen; however, this technique becomes ineffective once the washer fluid level decreases to about three-quarters full. There looks to be 1 pip that connects and the water travels through to all of the jets, and so I've taken this off to test if the pressure is going through before the jets, and regrettably, again it's still a trickle. The washer bottle is positioned in an inconvenient location, making it inaccessible for me without a ramp for inspection. However, I attempted to access it from beneath and confirmed that there are no leaks, among other checks. I had read that they can become obstructed, which indeed occurred with an old vehicle of mine; however, the reservoir was situated in a somewhat more accessible area for resolution. I have an extensive journey to the Lake District in a few weeks, and I am concerned about my ability to adequately clear the windscreen. Does anyone possess understanding or experience with the potential issue, as I want to avoid making assumptions? Happy to send a video or two if needs be (if the community accepts them), or I can submit it to Google drive. Thank you, everyone!
  12. Indeed, you did; I own my error. I have elevated my C55 through the differential once or twice, however it is somewhat cumbersome since I must first remove the metal heat sink. Elevate the vehicle on one side, remove the heat sink, lower the vehicle, position the jack beneath the differential, and repeat the process. You comprehend the concept. Severe pain.
  13. Excellent composition; nonetheless, please let me to provide one more point. When replenishing differential fluid, always prioritise loosening the filler cap first.
  14. Acceptable. I maintain my Excel fuel record to forecast and monitor service.
