Our GLA is from 2017, so belonging to the preceding generation.

I have installed one of these, and I am certain that they can be integrated with the heating controls; all my steering wheel buttons, including reverse, function well. I also get a vehicle display including radar configurations while reversing; allow me to examine it and provide the URL.

It is essential to contact with both Toyota and maybe Tesla, since speculation over your requirements may lead to the loss of a second vehicle. It is advisable to get certified equipment rather than products from an obscure Chinese manufacturer on eBay.

Even if you had destroyed the figure on the VIN plate, it would have still failed as the reading exceeded 3 regardless. Should a leak-off test reveal that one injector exhibits a somewhat greater rate than the rest, it may be the source of the excessive smoke. Occurred on my property a few years ago. Alternatively, have SWMBO crank the engine as you monitor the exhaust, and sequentially disconnect each injector to see whether any specific injector significantly decreases the smoke output. I performed the procedure on my daughter's Modus due to one injector exhibiting excessive fuel delivery. Identified the perpetrator by that method.

The ice on the camera may indicate a lapse in supervision, raising questions about the testing procedures. Given the extensive software integration in contemporary vehicles, it is plausible that updates may be implemented to address such issues. -

Thank you for your response. Your statement has validity. When one expends such a significant amount of money, such irritations become more exasperating. The most irritating aspects are the inadequately designed sunroof and the nonfunctional segments of the front and rear external lighting. I own the PHEV Premium Plus and am dissatisfied with the notion that I purchased a "premium" model, but the equivalent premium S-line has superior illumination. One may presumably learn to coexist with other matters. 🤣 I may have been used to the excitement I had when discovering the innovative and well designed features of my Audi. -
I may not have purchased the CX70 PHEV had I consulted this forum beforehand. Can someone alleviate my concerns about my purchase? 😔

I suddenly recalled that I had created a discussion about new tire depth. The notable observation was that the new depth of the ECOContact 6 tire is around 5.9mm, although I believed the standard depth to be 7mm.

I had the Kia Service Care plan, and my vehicle was serviced at the local Kia dealership from whom I purchased it. I requested rotation at every service, and they never imposed a price for it. I like to have uniform tire wear throughout the vehicle.
-
I recommend rotating the tires from front to back, since the rear tires often do not wear out as rapidly, which may help prolong their lifespan. I had Continental tires on my previous 2020 Sportage and had them rotated at each service appointment. Accumulated 17,500 miles on them; nonetheless, I was dissatisfied and changed them immediately after the vehicle's MOT.
-
I just had a thought. A fault code scan may be advisable, since I am uncertain if the alarm activates upon locking the vehicle. Does the clown's nose illuminate after locking?
-
Requires coding implementation. It seems that someone programmed it to function in that manner; typically, they emit a sound upon locking unless there is an indication that the vehicle is not secured. Carly, BimmerCode, or BMW software diagnostics will resolve the issue.

While the prices vary significantly and older models are notorious for severe corrosion, the G-Wagen remains unparalleled as a genuine Mercedes-Benz off-roader. Aside from a Unimog. I am unaware of your budget; but, a little examination of eBay reveals that this is the least expensive option available, and the seller has misspelt the name. The existing wheels are wholly inadequate for off-road use, but they would likely fetch a higher price than the cost of a decent set of wheels and tires.

Is it worthwhile to repair or replace the engine?

Please do a trouble code scan. -

The situation seems unfavourable. -
Typically, the bonnet malfunctions or becomes damaged.

Greetings! Indeed, I will get my own scan gear in the near future. I appreciate your advice. I have conducted a scan which indicates that there is a problem with the intake manifold runner control solenoid being stuck in the open position. This defect is directly linked to the misfire, decreased fuel efficiency, and reduced power output at low engine speeds. These are the findings of the scan. The previous owner used an incompetent technician, resulting in several missing connections. However, the primary shortcomings are: P0100 The code is P0368. The code P2539 P2005 P2014 I conducted much research, but I would really appreciate any assistance with these codes.
-
Although I sought the assistance of a technician, he was unable to identify the root cause of the misfire. It is worth noting that in Morocco, where these engines are not widely used, it is uncommon to find a mechanic with expertise in Audi V8s. After doing a diagnostic, it has been determined that there is a misfiring issue in all of the cylinders. Could the aluminium manifold be correlated?

Greetings! I just purchased an Audi S5 B8, which consistently displays illuminated EPC and traction control lights without any intermittent flashing. The engine has frequent misfires and sometimes fails to accelerate at traffic lights. The vehicle experiences severe vibrations and despite applying maximum pressure on the accelerator, there is no increase in power output.After a few hesitant revolutions, it suddenly accelerates forcefully. I replaced all of the spark plugs due to their deteriorated condition, as I believed they were the likely culprit. The coil pack underwent testing and was found to be in proper working condition. However, it was seen that some of the coil pack connections are damaged. To ensure that there is no loose coil connection, I secured the broken connectors using zip ties. The occurrence of misfiring in the automobile persists, resulting in a severely compromised driving experience. If you have had the similar problem, do inform me of the specific aspects I should investigate. The mechanics here use a strategy of replacing each individual element in order to identify the source of the problem. I suspect the occurrence of a vacuum leak or brake booster leak, which may sometimes happen after prolonged acceleration, such as at traffic stops.

The Mercedes dealership owned by George Fraser is located in Uxbridge, which is not a considerable distance from your current location. Highly competent and well-informed crew -
Thank you for the valuable comments, which enhances our understanding.
