  1. If the OP's grievance like mine, it is not only a question of activating the air conditioning to mitigate the condensation on the windscreen. As previously stated, if the circumstances are optimal (using the car during a somewhat warm evening with the air conditioning on, accompanied by rain or high humidity, followed by allowing it to remain stationary overnight with a significant decrease in temperature), condensation will form on the windscreen. The discussion is to water, not fog, affecting a region from the dashboard to about 8 inches above the defroster outlet and extending laterally to a similar width. When one drags their finger across the damp region, water begins to trickle towards the dashboard. This phenomenon occurs seldom and under certain circumstances; yet, it is unsettling to see real water accumulating on the windscreen. I would anticipate fog, but not concentrated moisture. At times, the situation has deteriorated to the extent that I have had to storing a microfiber towel in the vehicle to dry it, enabling the defroster to function well.
  2. Version 23 of North America manufactured in Mexico. On some days, I experience genuine condensation, beyond simply fog, on the inside front windscreen. To activate mine, the preceding day must have seen moderate temperatures accompanied by either precipitation or elevated humidity. Subsequently, there must have been a substantial decline in temperature and humidity overnight. The next morning, the area around the defrost air vents on the front windscreen is entirely damp. The height of the space is about 8 inches, commencing at the base of the windscreen. No degree of defrosting can eradicate this issue, and I consistently have a microfiber cloth in the truck for such situations. Irksome? Fortunately, the optimal combination of humidity and temperature in my locale is seldom.
  3. I hope and pray that her troubles are remedied. I hardly use my radio
  4. I have been informed that using silicone caulking in the mounting holes during installation is advisable. Prevents the ingress of moisture and salt.
  5. At the age of 14, I removed one and connected it to a maintenance charger. A few months later, my sister borrowed it to test it out as her own had stopped working. The decal remained on her vehicle for a period of one to two years until she sold it, hence the exact duration of its longevity is unknown.
  6. Prioritise following another_clean_sheet's instructions before purchasing a new battery. It is not uncommon for a 12-year-old automobile to still retain its original battery. If the battery in question is manufactured by BMW, it should possess a date code. The most convenient method I have discovered to ascertain the code is to capture a photograph of the battery and then magnify the image. The indicator is located at the highest point of the negative battery terminal. It will be represented as follows: a numerical representation of the week (40) and year (2017), with two numerals stacked vertically. The numbers are 40 and 17.
  7. You have not provided information on the make and model of the automobile, as well as its manufacturing year. Have you performed a code scan? The issue might also be attributed to a deteriorating battery or a faulty grounding connection.
  8. Research the Technical Service Bulletin (TSB). Although I do not own a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), I recall seeing a similar set of symptoms that could be relevant to your situation. It was a brief and urgent announcement.
  9. Your description seems to be accurate. The primary purpose of sport mode is to enable greater engine revolutions, resulting in enhanced torque and power in comparison to driving mode. The engine revolutions need to decrease more in order to match the new gear, thus the Gearbox Control Unit (TCU) permits a little increase in jerkiness to prevent any delays in the gear changes.
  10. I am sceptical that installing a JB4 will have a significant impact on the performance of your normally aspirated 2.5 engine. Maybe only a few HP. It would be more advantageous to just shed 25 pounds. 😉
  11. These engines are renowned for carbon accumulation, which, if left uncleaned, may certainly lead to issues. Begin by taking one step at a time and have the engine undergo carbon cleaning as a first step. Temporarily refrain from manipulating the sensor and avoid making many modifications simultaneously without doing proper testing.
  12. Understood. I acknowledge that the Snap-on tool is of high quality, however it is possible that the VCDS offers more advanced features.
  13. What is the distance in miles? Can you provide information about the service history? What tools or methods did you use for the required scan? VCDS Ross Tech is a software program.
  14. I recently acquired these items and replaced them earlier this week: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/audi-air-filter-corteco-420133844d
  15. Thank you, I find this information to be quite beneficial. The decision to purchase an MK4 blink in order to economise has been abandoned.
  16. Thank you. I examined the area under the boot floor, but unfortunately, I could not find what I was looking for. Presumably, the prior owner removed it and neglected to reinstall it. Your guidance is quite beneficial. I have saw the £80 listing on eBay. I am exhibiting stubbornness since a similar item was recently available for £50, but I refrained from placing a bid at the time. I believe I will have to face the difficult situation and make a tough decision. Expressing gratitude!
  17. Greetings, I have just acquired a 23 Sportage, but, it did not have a parcel shelf or load cover. I have seen individuals using MK4 Sportage load covers in an MK3 model, and the terminal connections seem to be comparable. Therefore, I am attempting to determine if I may use an MK4 load cover in my just acquired Sportage. There is a significant disparity in prices across all age categories on eBay. I am being frugal and hesitant to make a purchase without a clear understanding of its potential success. Expressing gratitude!
  18. I installed a third-party application and it works well. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide you with the specific name of the application since I have changed my mobile device. However, I agree that it is quite impractical, particularly due to the absence of a built-in sharing functionality inside the application.
  19. I can go almost three months on a full tank of 89 octane fuel. There are currently no problems with the petrol being old, although it should be noted that I have only driven 4000 miles so far. Indeed, you have the capability to engage in charging while driving, but at the cost of using a little higher amount of petrol. Consequently, instead of achieving the average fuel efficiency of 26 miles per gallon, you may experience a decrease to about 22-24 miles per gallon. I often cover a distance of around 25-30 miles every day, which means that I mostly rely on electric power for my transportation needs. The CX90 has superior interior and exterior aesthetics, yet it is more compact compared to the large Highlander.A seating capacity of 6 will provide a comfortable experience in the automobile, but accommodating 7 passengers may feel quite cramped. I used to spend around $140 per month on petrol for my old vehicle, which had a fuel efficiency of around 23 miles per gallon. Currently, I allocate around $60-70 for the combined expenses of electricity and gas. It definitely saves me a minimum of $70 each month.... I recommend purchasing a lightly used Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) with a Powertrain Protection (PP) plan. These can be found for less than $50,000. Alternatively, consider leasing one. I acquired mine for $650 per month over a 2-year period, with an upfront payment of $1500.
  20. Stated that Gen-2 is beginning to display comparable issues, if my memory serves me well.
  21. We own two contemporary Mercedes vehicles, both equipped with the autonomous parking feature. With the exception of the first few days when we tested the system, it works well. However, I am certain that I am able to park the vehicle in a place more swiftly than it can. Consequently, we have not used it since the first week, and I may not even be able to activate the feature at now. Is the function used often by anyone? Furthermore, are you unwilling to make the effort to modify the dashboard layout despite having exhausted all available alternatives when it was first introduced? We are no longer interested in adjusting the interior lighting hue. Hello Mercedes, as all of our acquaintances have seen its functionality. 🙂 Which gadgets on your automobile have you stopped using, or are we part of a small group?
  22. It is my belief that several contemporary automobiles are equipped with TMT (Traffic Management Technology) and NECS (Navigation and Entertainment Control Systems). (Excessive reliance on technology and insufficient application of practical reasoning) !
  23. The intended term is "Intelligent" stop and go, however its accuracy is open to debate. Two vehicles, a car and a small car, are depicted.
  24. Which sensors did you examine? By the way, Schuster Automobile is a valuable asset. One of the main motivations for learning the German language 😉
