Greetings, I have been fine-tuning the performance of my supercharged 1.6 engine on the road. I am using a donor engine with a fully undisclosed past, save for the fact that it had oil when I purchased it. The vehicle is maintaining a consistent and stable performance in terms of reaching my Air-Fuel Ratio (AFR) objectives. However, the autotune feature is persistently attempting to increase the amount of fuel at 5000rpm and 140kpa. I am genuinely perplexed over the cause of this. Regardless of the desired air-fuel ratio (AFR) or ignition timing, I failed to see this anomaly on my previous engine. I have experimented with ignition timing ranging from 11.8 to 12.3, as well as anywhere between 13.5 and 17 degrees, in these specific ranges. Autotune continues to inject more fuel in order to achieve the desired air-fuel ratio (AFR). Occasionally, a run may result in a rich mixture, leading me to suspect the presence of an intermittent issue. The car is equipped with a coil on plug system, utilising BK7RE spark plugs with a gap of 0.8mm and 0.6mm. No noticeable change was seen between the two gap sizes. The problem persists when utilising the conventional ignition system and BK6RE spark plugs with a 1mm gap. The injectors are EV14 with a capacity of 550cc. The intake temperatures range from 20 to 40 degrees Celsius, which is within a reasonable and safe range. I am open to any and all advise to improve the smoothness of this VE table. I am willing to test any suggestions. I have received suggestions that the issue may be a misfire, but I have conducted tests on several ignition systems, plugs, and gaps, and I believe I have eliminated that possibility. What is the procedure for monitoring fuel pressure while in motion? The user's text is incomplete.The automobile has excellent performance and operates smoothly without any problems at higher revolutions per minute (rpm).

I feel the same way. I have had two Karchers, both of which exhibited excessive vibration and noise, both of which experienced leakage from the beginning resulting in intermittent pulsation, and both of which ultimately failed with smoke and sparks emerging from the motor vents. Subsequently, I purchased a Nilfisk, and the disparity in performance is very distinct. The machine seems to be well-designed and has outlasted both Karchers combined. Purchasing a £15 adaptor from eBay allows me to use the extra attachments I purchased for the Karcher with the Nilfisk.

The engine had a progressive decrease in speed despite operating for less than 3 minutes and being fully serviced in January, which included the replacement of all lubricants and the installation of new turbos 18 months earlier.

While driving at around 35 miles per hour for little more than 5 minutes, a message appeared on the dashboard indicating "Engine Failure," causing the automobile to suddenly stop moving. I am now awaiting the arrival of a rescue vehicle since my car is not starting, despite having a fully functional battery.The car had its most recent comprehensive service and MOT in January, and just last week, new airbags and front struts were installed.I inspected the oil five minutes before to this occurrence. Does anybody have any suggestions or insights before RR takes advantage of me financially once more?

I myself own both the Mazda3 in red and the CX-30 in the same blue hue as yours, which I find to be a more aesthetically pleasing colour.

I encountered the same problem. The price mentioned here was far more than that. Regarding the replacement, Audi said that they would cover the cost for one item, not two, since one of them had a little crack (which seems dubious to me). I proceeded on as I wanted to get my automobile. Now, they should have incurred payment for both items, even if only one was impacted. What is the reason for this? Due to the change in component number, the new one has a distinct reverse light. Consequently, the automobile would seem peculiar with dissimilar tail lights.

Anticipating a year with a CX90 and around 18,000 kilometres.

Thank you for sharing your expertise and thoughtful analysis. It's gratifying to know that yours is functioning. Similar to any novel model during its first year, some models may encounter difficulties. At now, we anticipate a reduction in problematic locations; nevertheless, the outcome remains uncertain. Meanwhile, stay connected with us here and feel free to provide feedback, both positive and negative. -
This is the reason why the negative is first disconnected and then reconnected.

Disturbing......

What was the cause of such occurrence?...the voltage is merely 12 volts, which is insufficient to cause an electric shock. Applying pressure to each terminal will not elicit any sensation, unless you are manipulating a live ignition coil, which produces a little stinging sensation owing to the presence of several thousand volts. If one were to make contact with a live terminal at the location where it was shorting to the earthed body, it is possible that experiencing pain may arise as a result of the heat created.

Assist in Enhancing the Appearance of My Mercedes!
DMGRS replied to KWILB's topic in General Car Chat
As a mature individual with a youthful spirit, I am choosing to align myself with the majority in this situation. Strive for simplicity and authenticity, replacing any elements that detract from the overall quality (such as alloy centre caps, for instance), and focus on achieving the highest possible level for the painting. Black vehicles with a glossy and attractive paint finish seem quite impressive. Have a pleasurable experience! -
Thank you for sharing your expertise and providing the information.

That pricing is reasonable given the substantial amount of effort needed. However, I now have 99,000 miles on my vehicle and have previously had two maintenance, with the most recent one being 23 months ago. Therefore, I want to wait for at least another year before getting another service. Will they agree to do just a stand-alone service on the gearbox, without any other tasks?

Greetings, everyone. My 2013 S204 with 7G+ gearbox has already reached 10 years of age and I am responsible for its service. There is a discrepancy between the Mr Car Assyst plus and Mercedes Myservice web page on the kind of service required. I am tempted to choose the Mercedes service website. Regardless, the vehicle requires a B9 service which includes the installation of an air filter, fuel filter, and a brake fluid change. Interestingly, it also need an Auto Trans service. I am sceptical since the second gear box of the vehicle was serviced two years ago (the service before the most recent one) and it was just about 22,000 miles ago. Undoubtedly, it is not yet due. I believed that the requirement was either 50,000 miles or 5 years, whichever occurs first. So far, it has only been requested twice in over a decade. Can anybody verify? I will personally handle the remaining tasks of the service and use the oil extractor to take advantage of the conveniently located top mounted oil filter, ensuring a quick and clean process.

Is purchasing a Blackvue DR590X for my EQS a wise decision?
DMGRS replied to MotoGravity's topic in General Car Chat
If you visit the Blackvue Official Outlet, you may get the 2-channel version of the 590X for the price of the 1-channel version in the Amazon link you provided. The item is 'refurbished,' indicating that it is often an ex-demo product. I have purchased two items from this supplier, and they have been identical to new.

The 2022 Turbo Premium Plus vehicle has an audible popping noise upon the activation of the hatch release mechanism. I have scheduled a meeting with my automotive dealership for tomorrow am. The auditory phenomenon occurs consistently with each instance of opening, hence necessitating immediate auditory perception by the individuals involved. The user expresses gratitude for the assistance provided.

I am experiencing a state of cognitive dissonance and uncertainty.
DMGRS replied to Psychil's topic in General Car Chat
The vehicle in question is expected to exhibit reduced speed due to its increased weight, as previously mentioned. -
The automobile in question represents the most unsatisfactory ownership experience I have encountered so far.It is evident that you, organman, were never an owner of a Chevrolet Vega.

The quality of the Matts is satisfactory, albeit not exceptional. However, considering that they were obtained free of charge, I am content with them. The illuminated sill coverings are seen to be excessively priced relative to their inherent value, however they function adequately and possess an aesthetically pleasing appearance, surpassing the quality of similar products originating from China. The rear camera cleaner is still pending delivery and installation, therefore preventing me from providing any comments or feedback at this time.

I reside in an area characterised by a rather low incidence of criminal activities, however I do not allocate much contemplation to this aspect. I have not conducted a detailed investigation of the particular methods used by thieves to amplify key signals and facilitate auto theft. However, I have personally attempted to unlock or lock my vehicle using the key fob while standing a few feet away, and have not seen any successful unauthorised access. Consequently, my keys are placed on the same shelf where all my other automobile keys have been positioned over the years. I own gap insurance, which provides coverage in the event of theft, therefore potentially facilitating the acquisition of a new vehicle.
