  1. 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?
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

  6. 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.
  7. 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?
  8. 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?
  9. I am uncertain about the purpose of lubricating the hub or the origin of this concept. If it occurs solely at full lock, it is undoubtedly the tires slipping on the pavement due to the 4MATIC technology.
  10. The CX-70 PHEV has undergone two recalls for software modifications. We have accumulated 10,000 kilometres on our 2025 model since January. We appreciate it; it operates well, the cabin is exceptionally quiet, and it averages 50 miles per gallon since its deployment. The sole issue is a clunking noise in the rear brakes after initiating movement from a complete stop. The seals on the back door permit the ingress of dust. Both issues have been reported, and Mazda is addressing the solutions. 47,000 appears to be an appropriate figure for depreciation. I would ensure it is meticulously inspected prior to acquisition and have the oil analysed and replaced beforehand.
  11. All four tires possess a tread depth ranging from 5 to 6/32 inches, thus not yet reaching the wear bars. I will contact my dealer. Thank you!
  12. Are you aware of the wear depth of your OEM tires at the time Mazda approved their replacement? I presume they were Toyo Open Country A50 tires. I anticipate discussing tire replacement with my dealer, since my tires seem to need imminent replacement. The odometer reads around 45,000 km, and I utilise winter tires for a duration of six months. I have not yet had the opportunity to test the tread depth.
  13. I concur with your assessment stevenkeyte
  14. Hello everyone, this has not occurred with the keys in my pocket. The vehicle is stationed in my driveway, and the keys are inside the house; there has been no accidental activation of the fob. It occurred twice yesterday. Each time I clicked the "lock" button on the fob, the vehicle secured itself and the windows closed; but, after an hour, it autonomously unlocked and the windows opened. The one further hint I possess is that I believe it occurs exclusively during rainfall.
  15. Hello everyone, I just acquired a 2019 M5. It has a comprehensive history and little mileage. During the month of my ownership, I have often seen that it has autonomously unlocked itself and opened all the windows. There is no discernible pattern to this, however I am extremely apprehensive since I am scheduled to travel on vacation, leaving the vehicle unattended for a week. Has anybody else encountered this issue, and if so, did they resolve it? Salutations
  16. It had the same behavior on my Xceed GT-S until I powered it down.
  17. In almost every front-end position, it is necessary to detach the fan... They are very constricted. Congratulations on its release.
  18. It is undoubtedly a constricted fit. Continue to eliminate components until it is extracted.
  19. Thank you for the information. I am not too concerned about a little discrepancy; but, this colour is much lighter than the original paintwork. I would have assumed that if the paint has faded, the reverse would be true. Nonetheless, I will continue my hunt... 👍
  20. Hello... I have seen many postings on paint matching, but none have appeared lately. I purchased Oxford Green '324' for my '94 E34 from eBay, but it is very light. Is anybody aware of a reputable aftermarket supply of aerosol paint? Thank you
