I believe I have committed a significant mistake. The filter warning indicator illuminated; my reliable mechanic was on vacation, and his "associate" claimed he could repair it, having previously serviced multiple Evoque filters. It appears he has eliminated the filter and reconfigured the computer. He stated that it is unnecessary and will not influence its MOT (2018 HSE 36K miles). It emits a slight amount of smoke when idling at low revolutions while coming to a stop. The repair incurred an expense of £1200. Have I acted foolishly? Must I invest additional funds and reinstall a filter? Guidance requested.

Is the reluctor ring checked?

An excellent piece of writing. Our deepest sympathies go out to you and your family, but I must respectfully disagree with your courteous request. What a remarkable outlook you possess. Delight in the portable rocket. Last year's brief laps at Knockhill were fantastic. In fact, yours will surpass mine. 🥳

I will try to recall where we obtained the unit. After having a new turbo installed, you can send back the old one to help pay for the refurbishment.

Three "gentlemen of Eastern European heritage" showed up when a buddy advertised his meticulously maintained Audi A6 Avant for sale, even though he had specifically asked for only two. The vehicle was ten years old. One individual identified as a "mechanic" began to discover "faults" in various parts of the vehicle, such as scraped tires that required replacement of the suspension, wheels that had been aligned the day prior with no problems or unusual wear, and inadequate coolant. Since the engine was chilly, yes, it would be at the cold mark! Required servicing "It had been serviced four weeks ago, etc. Surprisingly, he turned down their offer of half his asking price. Then the strategies of nonviolent resistance began. We owe you for the gas and time spent driving from London; the automobile is junk. "Why make an offer if it's not good?" was all my pal had to say. "Oh and by the way you and your car are recorded on our cameras" Their departure was announced!

Then this is it. The local tractor and harvester shop can handle all that kind of stuff where we reside, which is in a rural region. The tractor place released the back wheel bearing of an ancient W123 estate in seconds, but our local garage took forever.

Mazda recommends 36 psi. It enhances both safety and wearability. Maximum pressure is 51 psi, not target pressure. Uneven wear and poor grip are consequences of increased pressure. Glue the door decal on.

Yeah, the factory-installed tires on them are notoriously bad. A lot of people are noticing it. At around 15,000 miles, you should replace your tires.

Wow, such a fantastic gift. Embrace it with open arms. If you have a four-day ticket, my recommendation is to take it easy on the first day since you will be too tired and blistered to enjoy the rest of the trip. Out of all the show stands, my fave is Lanzante. They bring the house down for even the most well-known businesses.

I am uncertain; the vehicle was taken to the garage, and the technician is currently driving it to and from work to identify the issues. He mentioned that it only emits smoke on cold mornings, but he could not specify the odour he detected. I observe that it is indeed a significant identifier.

The 2008 318d was functioning optimally until I inadvertently allowed a handbag to become lodged behind the gear stick while the vehicle was in motion. Consequently, the car revved excessively out of gear, as it failed to shift due to the obstruction. The engine subsequently stalled, but it restarted slowly, only to falter again on the first incline, losing power and displaying an alternator warning. Electrical systems, including the doors and brakes, ceased to function despite having driven for an hour without issues. The garage will only assess the vehicle after Christmas; it is operational again, but the mechanic reports a significant knocking sound and smoke upon cold starts. Given the age of the car, he suggests that repairs may not be worthwhile, as it could indicate a severe engine issue. The vehicle was operating exceptionally well and covering considerable distance without any problems until I made the imprudent decision to search for chewing gum with one hand while navigating slowly through traffic while entering a town, inadvertently causing the bag to drop under the gear stick.

I did not use stretch bolts on the W211; I reused the existing ones. Apologies, I cannot recall the torque as it is not included in the extensive thread I created.

If you possess a steel space saving spare tire, the shorter bolts required for its installation are typically included with the vehicle and are generally located within the polystyrene holder that accommodates the jack, wheel wedge and warning triangle.

The recall pertains to the MK1 Niro, which utilised the same engine as the hybrid Ceed/Xceed. This is not applicable to the Mk2 provided from 2022 forward. It is characteristic of the Daily Fail to present an incorrect model. I verified this on the DVLA Recalls website by entering the data of a Mk1.

In recent years, I have oscillated between the RAC and the AA. I obtain family coverage, ensuring that all four drivers and vehicles within the home are insured. Approaching either of these companies directly may not be the most economical option. Utilising platforms such as Quidco (among other cashback services) might yield a significant discount; however, there is a considerable delay before receiving the cashback.

My M3 Performance is exhibiting the same issue.

Thank you; I will review them later. I contacted Kia and provided my part number, 551001W110, but they informed me that it will take six months to obtain it.

Indeed, you are correct; the part number is 55100-1W100; however, regrettably, it is unavailable for purchase from any vendors. Thank you for your assistance.

Greetings, I am receiving 551001W000; all photographs on eBay corresponding to that part number differ from those on Autodoc. Am I examining the incorrect figures? I am beginning to question my judgement despite the seller's confirmation of the right fitment.

Thank you, I have verified that it matches the part number of the one I ordered. The seller claims it is intended for drums and callipers; nevertheless, it is unfeasible without the lugs or their equivalent, which I have indicated in the figure below.

Yes, everything fits, except the axle lacks the lugs for the calliper.

Greetings everyone, I possess a 2012 Kia Rio MK3, and the rear subframe/axle has failed its MOT. I acquired a fresh new one from eBay, with the vendor assuring me it was the proper part. It was only after installation that I discovered it was intended for drum brakes, however my vehicle is equipped with disc brakes. No attachment points for the callipers I have searched extensively on eBay and cannot locate a rear axle that includes fittings for callipers. Could anyone suggest a location for purchasing one? Am I examining the incorrect section on eBay? Thank you.

Thank you for your response, DMGRS. The EGR I installed was marketed as a brand new authentic part. They are dispatching a replacement for me to install; we shall see if that resolves the issue. I removed the plastic cover, which was adhered, applied WD40 to release it, still the issue persists. Is the plug you are referring to the one on the EGR, or is it a different plug? If I can rectify the EGR issue, I anticipate that the DPF problem will resolve, as it has persisted shortly after the EGR malfunction. I have inspected the glow plug in cylinder one, and it is functioning properly; yet, a malfunction persists. I removed the plugs, injectors, etc., to replace the rocker cover, and it has been since that time that the glow plug defect has emerged. Thank you in advance.
