However, I had already departed and replaced the battery. I saw a rapid decline in battery voltage, which was occurring with increasing frequency. We must observe the progression of events. It seems to have occurred in many areas with strong cellular service, therefore I am uncertain; I would not anticipate the system upgrade to be very power-intensive......It appears that incidents have consistently occurred when I have left the car unlocked or the doors ajar. While I concur that interior lights consume minimal current, my parents' Range Rover frequently experienced battery depletion due to leaving the boot open for their dogs, who preferred to remain in the back during the day, likely to avoid being left alone at home. I believe the interior lights are filament lamps. I own a booster that has functioned well on many occasions; nevertheless, this morning, after using it to start the vehicle, I had issues upon disconnection, including a flickering display and a 12V battery alert.

I anticipate travelling there if I can repair the vehicle; else, I will cycle with several bungee cords for the rear rack. Cycling may be safer than the chance of being stuck with a two-ton vehicle.

Thank you both; it seems that a replacement is necessary, since the voltage is sometimes alarmingly low (below 6V). Thank you for the further information; I will explore the battery monitoring possibilities. It is unfortunate that I need the automobile today; I must resolve this matter urgently, but that is life.

My vehicle is now 2.5 years old, and I had my first issue with the auxiliary battery last April when it was 1.75 years old. I was working outside, and the car was left unlocked and open for many hours while turned off, resulting in the auxiliary battery being depleted to the extent that the vehicle would not start. I borrowed a charger, which provided sufficient power to the battery, allowing me to go, and I believed the battery was only depleted by the inside lights. During my midsummer service, I requested Kia to inspect the battery; they said it was functioning OK. Everything was satisfactory for many months; nevertheless, there was another instance when the automobile was left unlocked for a few hours while I worked in proximity, however I ensured the doors were closed to minimise discharge from the inside lights. It failed to boot once again. I attempted a trickle charge for some time, but to no avail. Fortunately, a kind Mitsubishi PHEV owner and neighbour expressed interest and offered me his booster battery. This was not successful first, so I had lunch and attempted it again a few hours later. I presented him with a bottle of wine and purchased my own booster, which I have had to use many times lately when the vehicle was left unattended for about an hour without any doors being opened. After providing the extensive information, I am attempting to determine if there is a component depleting the auxiliary battery fast when the vehicle is unlocked, or whether a new battery is necessary. - 2 A battery dying after 1 to 2 years seems premature. The vehicle is unmodified; I have not installed any other components, save from a USB drive with MP3 files, which likely consumes little power. Today, I received a warning on the instruments indicating "check 12V battery." Do you have any opinions? Thank you. *It is peculiar that the vehicle is likely left unlocked and open for an extended duration for servicing; so, why did Kia fail to address the issue?

The DPF on the MK3 is quite uncommon. Typically, just the CAT.

I concur.

No, I am afraid not; I will wait to see what they propose.

Thank you for the responses; I will update you all upon receiving more information.

On Tuesday night at around 8 o'clock, my Porsche alarm was activated. Upon looking out of the window, I saw that the vehicle was engulfed in flames. Fortunately, the bonnet was not well secured.I raised it, and the battery seemed to be on fire.Contacted the fire department, who successfully contained the situation upon arrival. However, all wiring has melted, the plastic components are incinerated, the bonnet is fractured, the windscreen is damaged, and there is water in the engine compartment. I am awaiting confirmation on whether it is repairable or a total loss; I suspect it will be deemed a total loss, given it is a 2000 Boxster. I will provide more information when available.

I intended to mention that they were Michelins on my E Class (now revised), so I will wait and observe for the time being and likely replace them.

Greetings My Sporty HEV had its first service on Friday in November 2023. Everything is OK; but, I was slightly taken aback when the Vehicle Health Check indicated two faults need prompt care. The inquiry pertains to the two front tires (Continental Contact 6 235/55/R18V XL), which had a tread depth of 4mm. The dealership provided a quotation of £402 for the replacement of these tires, despite the vehicle being just one year old and having completed only 4,000 kilometres. The service representative said that they mark tires with 4mm or less, therefore I am optimistic about achieving much higher mileage from them in the next year. I had Michelin Primacy run-flat tires on my last vehicle, a Mercedes E-Class estate, which I owned from new. After 4.5 years and 20,000 miles, the original tires were still fitted.

Interestingly, the start/stop function of my vehicle is not functioning properly, despite having a new main battery installed last year. However, I was not under the impression that the capacitors in the W205 model had a significant role in affecting the functionality of the air conditioning system. However, it is advisable to investigate more.

The recommendation you provided seems to be satisfactory. I appreciate your input. The location seems easily accessible, with the option of reserving online (to some extent) and a designated waiting space, eliminating the need for me to navigate my way back home, amusingly.

This is my desired outcome. The red light would not illuminate when attempting to activate it. However, if you performed the action inside the temperature control menu, the checkbox would briefly toggle on and off after about one second.

Male individual After enjoying a flawless experience with my automobile for a period of 2 years, however, my run of good luck came to an end when I had to store it outdoors for 2 weeks instead of in an underground location after moving. The air conditioning system functioned well in the morning, but after being exposed to direct sunlight throughout the day, on the second warmest day of the year, it ceased to operate in the evening. I attempted to activate the button on the console, but it failed to illuminate. When I accessed the climate menu and attempted to enable the air conditioning (AC), the checkbox would temporarily mark itself for a moment before automatically unchecking itself again. What is the likelihood that it only needs recharging? Can such a transformation occur abruptly? I would have anticipated a gradual deterioration in cooling efficiency rather than an abrupt malfunction. The car was manufactured in 2016 and its charging history is unknown. Should I see a Mercedes expert for the best outcome? Can anybody provide suggestions for places of interest in the Windsor/Maidenhead/Reading region? Thank you everyone!

The exhaust system consists of a single outlet, and the carbon diffuser is specifically designed for a single outlet as well, so there is no need to modify the number of outlets. I just want to discard the glossy stainless material.

Although it may seem trivial, the unmodified oem tips on my rear bumper are the only components that have not been altered, and it is causing me some frustration. Is there any manufacturer that produces titanium replacement bumper tips or similar products? The 2022 rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicle is equipped with a supercharger, adjusted for optimal performance using e85 fuel, and has a pure performance racing exhaust system. Additionally, it is equipped with a bagged suspension system, 3-piece Rotiform wheels, an extensive amount of carbon aerodynamic components, and has been treated with stealth paint protection film (PPF). The stock recommendations really annoy me, hehe.

Is there any damage resulting from a collision?

Is there water infiltration in a certain location? Specifically within the bumper.

😁🙅‍♂️

Best of luck in deactivating any devices that emit a bleeping sound. The Xceed emits audible signals for several reasons, all of which are justified, even if their purpose may not be immediately apparent. I see them as an opportunity for personal growth and development. The only obstacle so far is the LKA.

Prior to each voyage, we deactivate the Lane Keep Assist feature. Since the closest motorway is located 130 miles from us, it is not necessary for our use. Not all A roads are winding rural roads. The majority of primary highways consist of very straight single carriageways, sometimes with slight curves. It is perilous when the car's steering pulls, since it requires exerting force in the opposite direction to correct it. When the vehicle is in operation, as a passenger, you may perceive a lateral swaying motion, similar to being on a ship, even if the speed is not very high.

Thank you. It is somewhat peculiar, considering the customer support representative I conversed with explicitly said that the discrepancy in names was the reason for the inability to include the vehicle. It is possible that they have made enhancements to the system since you established yours!
