  1. It's surprising; I feel foolish for ignoring the numerous problems with these, but I'm hopeful the repair will extend their useful lives.

  3. Greetings, everybody. I am seeking guidance. For the most part, my 2018 20d x1 has been experiencing gearbox problems. Strength training. Slamming every known problem with the 8-speed Aisin gearbox. It has been serviced by a gearbox expert today and is covered by the dealer's warranty. Their assessment is that the gearbox requires disassembly and reconstruction. Can we trust this repair? I was hoped this vehicle could make it to 80,000 miles. It has barely done 40,000 so far. Anyone who can offer assistance or guidance would be much appreciated.
  4. Same here, hadn’t heard of them before this week did a bit of digging this morning and found a few mentions on different forums. Looks like they’ve only recently started pushing repo car sales more actively Pricing being lower sort of makes sense if they’re dealing with repossessions, but yeah… still not something I’d rush into
  5. I appreciate your response. What a strange sound! I hope it doesn't cause any costly problems. I'm crossing my fingers that it's just a heat shield or a loose panel. It sounds like the engine bay or somewhere nearby is where the noise is coming from. Would this be the same if they haven't oiled the gearbox enough?
  6. For context, consider the following: - 64 plate Mercedes C Class 250. Section 205 64,500 miles. This problem typically manifests in manual transmissions when the vehicle is in high gear (5th) and the engine speed is low, such as 2k \. On film, the noise appears when gear changes from fourth to fifth, which is when the automatic gearbox typically shifts from fourth to fifth and the RPM lowers. - this noise only occurs when you're pulling (i.e., going uphill or accelerating); as you let off the gas, the noise stops. The noise only happens at low RPM 2k < and high gear 5 >, therefore it doesn't happen in sports or sports plus mode when the RPM is greater before shifting gears. - coasting prevents this from happening. — not even when the engine is revved all the way to red line in neutral. The noise finally became audible a few weeks following a comprehensive service at a Mercedes SPECIALIST facility (not a dealership) in my area, during which they changed the gearbox oil and filter. As far as we know, this is the first service of its type based on age and mileage. The garage I spoke with over the phone claimed that the oil change was just usual and that they use a computer and software to perform it, along with real parts and oil, so I should bring it back on Friday so they can check their work. Since I witnessed the delivery of the items when I dropped off the vehicle for servicing, I am certain that they used Mercedes oil and parts. Anyone have a clue as to what may be making that noise? I'd like not walk in on Friday and accuse them of botched service. Perhaps a loose panel or component, or an inadequate amount of gearbox oil? In case you can't make out the sound in the video, it sounds like a motor, vibrating, or clicking noise. This effect is temporary when the engine speed is low in high gear; it disappears as the engine speed increases or when the paddle is used to manually shift back into fourth gear. I would much appreciate any assistance.
  7. Greetings to everybody, Could someone please have a listen to this engine sounds and tell me what it is? I'm having trouble figuring out where it's coming from.
  8. Tell me which scanner you're using. It is possible that a code in another system is causing the problem; a comprehensive scan could reveal it. For instance, there was no problem with the engine, yet the automobile went limp. The exhaust flap problem code was actually located in a subsystem, not the engine. The engine turned off after I removed this code. The problem persisted despite the exhaust flap replacement, proving that a code recorded elsewhere had an effect on the engine management system.

  10. There is no such connection. The DM story features an image of the new Niro model; nevertheless, the recall referenced appears to pertain to the prior model.
  11. The Daily Mail features an article titled "Definitive Guide to the Safest Cars and the Ones to Worry About," which assigns a safety score of 1/5 to the Niro hybrids and states: ,,In January of this year, Kia announced a recall of over 640,000 hybrid vehicles, including the Ceed, Niro, and Xceed models, due to concerns that clutch fluid may leak onto the circuit board, potentially causing fires. This incident may cause a short circuit, which, as stated by Kia in a letter to consumers, can 'result in a danger of fire in the engine compartment while driving.'' I have not gotten any such correspondence, and the Kia recalls website indicates no safety recalls associated with my VIN. Feedback?
  12. Mercedes-Benz modified the steering knuckles circa 2019/2020. This altered the orientation of the front wheels. £500 for each side. Are your tires XL?
