  1. Much obliged, It didn't seem like my mechanic was interested in doing it, and he was firm that it wasn't essential. The most recent oil change was in 2022 at 96,000 miles, and the total mileage is 146,000 (the paperwork was supplied by the garage right before I bought it). Just like any other vehicle, I plan to hold on to this one until it becomes too expensive to maintain. My last Audi a6 lasted until it was seventeen years old, with sixty thousand miles on the odometer.
  2. My 2015 Audi A5 coupe is a 2.0 TDI. The cambelt intervals have recently changed to 140,000 miles, according to a local mechanic I spoke with. I would appreciate it if someone could verify the truth of this. In my mind, it was either 80,000 or four years. Although he did say it's not necessary just yet. Much obliged.
  3. I shall accomplish that tomorrow morning. Thank you, I am grateful for it!
  4. Greetings, everyone. I would like to share my experience with my 2017 Hyundai Tucson 2.0 SE and seek advice on how to potentially obtain a complimentary engine replacement, as it appears to be a clear engineering defect. I have owned this car for more than four years, and it has approximately 174,000 kilometres on the odometer; recently, I observed a significant increase in engine oil consumption (fortunately, I detected this before it completely depleted, or I would have risked a catastrophic engine failure unknowingly). I consulted a reliable garage proprietor who monitored the oil consumption over a fortnight and was astonished to discover that the engine utilised approximately 1 litre per 200 kilometres. I contacted the dealership regarding the issue and requested an engine replacement, but they promptly refused since there is no "Check Engine" light illuminated on the dashboard. Could someone assist me with what actions to take? I appreciate your assistance beforehand!
  5. Thank you for getting back to me. Excuse me, but I have some questions regarding this mount. Is it possible, for instance, to charge the phone even when it's in use? Just how powerful is the phone's magnetic grip? When you drive over bumps, does it stay put or does it bounce? Much obliged.
  6. Looking for a MagSafe phone mount that is compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and has built-in wireless charging for my A3 8v 2014 phone. So that there is minimal wiring from the charging port, I would like it to be positioned in-between the center vents in the dash. Please, anybody, point me in the correct way; I would be eternally grateful.
  7. the mileage has increased by about 20,000km after having the instrument cluster replaced by an official Mercedes dealer. The reason behind this is that Mercedes uses the actual kilometres rather than the initial kilometres since their system stores them. I don't understand. Has anyone else had this happen to them? This means the mileage might have been altered at some point... and the vehicle wasn't an authentic Mercedes-Euro import; it was imported from Japan.
  8. Unfortunately, the mileage has increased by about 20,000km after I had the instrument cluster replaced by an official Mercedes dealer.

  9. The replies are appreciated. I have exhausted all of the do-it-yourself suggestions made by both of you and AI, but the problem persists. Two Indianapolis garages were unable to resolve the issue; one even proposed swapping out the instrument cluster—excuse the pun—because it incorporates the brain. Finally took it to a Mercedes dealer, but they couldn't fix the cluster or clear the messages either. They suggested getting a new one. The vehicle is based in Cyprus, so my choices are limited. As they prepare to order the part from Germany, the cost is estimated to be £1500 plus. It is highly unlikely that they will be able to re-program an old device. Does this make sense?
  10. After being parked for about two months... B class 2016 petrol b180 All of the warning lights turned on when the car started. Vehicle is operational, but warning lights remain illuminated. The problem persisted even after I tried to reset it by removing the battery and leaving it alone for an hour. Swimming suit. All the warning lights are on, but the rev counter isn't functioning... Not working: reverse cam, but stops and starts are fine.
  11. How can I connect the SD card to my MacBook if my computer lacks an SD port? I have utilised an antiquated "USB/card" driver.
  12. Greetings, I possess a 2018 Kia Niro DCT Hybrid. The navigation system is malfunctioning. The SD card is installed, yet the vehicle continues to prompt “Insert SD card.” I utilised Kia's official update software on my computer to refresh the navigation files on the SD card. The computer successfully reads the card, yet the vehicle fails to acknowledge it. I attempted to duplicate the files onto my computer initially and subsequently transfer them back to the SD card, yet I continue to receive the same notification. What might be the underlying reasons for this, and how can I rectify it?
