Thank you for the counsel.

I will examine it.

I concur with your assessment stevenkeyte

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.

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

Activate reverse camera while in Drive mode.

It had the same behavior on my Xceed GT-S until I powered it down. -
Removal of the turbocharger from the W204 OM651 engine
MotoGravity replied to Gianni682's topic in General Car Chat
In almost every front-end position, it is necessary to detach the fan... They are very constricted. Congratulations on its release. -

It is undoubtedly a constricted fit. Continue to eliminate components until it is extracted. -
Original Equipment Manufacturer paint match
MotoGravity replied to MotoGravity's topic in General Car Chat
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... π -
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

I am not an advocate for utilising pre-owned components, but I have purchased it in the event that a custom car, racing, or other bespoke parts manufacturer can produce one. I am also consulting with a contact who is a member of the AMG Club Germany. I welcome any comments or recommendations for resolving this issue, since it serves as a notification to other E63 211/S211 members. Thank you

Greetings to all E63 211 / S211 proprietors and members with expertise in parts. I recently had the cooling lines of my gearbox changed at a proficient independent shop, which found minor leaks in three power steering lines that I requested to be replaced. Regrettably, one of the components is no longer obtainable from Mercedes, which is troubling given its importance and the fact that my vehicle is 18 years old. Refer to the list of lines provided below. I visited the Mercedes Lakeside parts centre, and they confirmed the unavailability. I located a pre-owned item on eBay and placed an order for it.

Extracting oil via the dipstick aperture.
MotoGravity replied to MotoGravity's topic in General Car Chat
I have discovered a 12-volt rotary fuel pump in my workshop, previously utilised in a jet engine. I need to determine the appropriate pipe size to insert into the dipstick hole. I have charged a spare car battery in preparation for operation. -
Extracting oil via the dipstick aperture.
MotoGravity replied to MotoGravity's topic in General Car Chat
Thank you; that particular item did not up in my prior search before I submitted my post. I believed it was feasible; I am confident I can locate an appropriate pump in my workshop. -
I am not scheduled for service until October, but I have seen that the oil level on the dipstick is rising (attributable to the DPF design of this engine, which introduces fuel into the oil). I wish to extract some oil and replace it with fresh oil. Has anyone attempted to remove oil through the dipstick opening?

Audible scratching emanating from the brakes
MotoGravity replied to MotoGravity's topic in General Car Chat
Thank you, I will review it when I get the opportunity. If it diminishes at modest braking, might it still suggest the propeller? I have perused many discussions on the matter, and individuals often assert that the noise emanates from the middle of the vehicle; but, when I see it, it certainly originates from the front passenger side with the window down. What I shall do to eliminate the brakes as a possibility I will elevate the vehicle and rotate the front wheels to see whether the sound is audible while the propeller is not in motion. -
Greetings, everyone. Possess a 2002 C240 with around 39,000 miles on the odometer. Upon executing a left turn, I see a scraping noise emanating from the front left, which ceases instantly upon using the brakes, even mildly. It is audible alone with the windows down. The discs have not been changed in 23 years, however the pads (Brembos) were updated around 10 months ago. Do you have any suggestions? I suspect the discs are worn and need replacement. I will elevate the vehicle at my first opportunity to inspect for any irregularities, such as uneven pad wear or dry sliders. Alignment is necessary due to extensive suspension modifications on the vehicle, including control arms, track rod ends, and struts. Thank you

Issue with Average Speed Camera Alert
MotoGravity replied to MotoGravity's topic in General Car Chat
To clarify, the camera alert is not triggered by the detection of signs; the vehicle would perceive these elements unless the system is off. The camera alert notifies you of a physical camera, sourced from its database, pertaining to speed regulations or average speed monitoring. This is then combined with the speed limit signs, which may be erroneous in this instance. -
Issue with Average Speed Camera Alert
MotoGravity replied to MotoGravity's topic in General Car Chat
Thank you, markjay; you are really accurate. I have discovered a method that, although not optimal, resolves my specific issue. Disabling the camera alert in Navigation will prevent the vehicle from using the camera, hence inhibiting the calculation of average speed. It is unfortunate, since I like the camera warning, particularly on unfamiliar routes. The enduring remedy is to notify KIA on this problem on my segment of the route and anticipate its rectification in the next map update. I reviewed other forums on this speed average on the site, but no solutions were provided. I hope this thread will provide a temporary resolution. -
Issue with Average Speed Camera Alert
MotoGravity replied to MotoGravity's topic in General Car Chat
I apologise for not clarifying in my post that I am not use any maps. Neither KIA navigation nor Google Maps. This is typical driving, however for some inexplicable reason, it registers the average speed as 40 mph on a dual road with posted speed limits of 50 mph. -

MotoGravity replied to MotoGravity's topic in General Car Chat
Thank you, DMGRS. Indeed, the long press function is ineffective. I am considering addressing this with KIA to see whether there is a broader problem. Alternatively, if it pertains to a KIA map issue, they may do a thorough investigation of this route.
