  1. My brakes get a good cleaning every so often, and the next service is in July. The dependability of aircraft software has to be improved compared to the KIA stuff!
  2. Yes, it is used on a daily basis. Just to add to the strangeness, a few days ago I observed that the vehicle slowed down more than normal when I removed my foot off the accelerator. I checked the system and saw that ECO had switched to level 2, even though I had it set to level 1. In the past, when this occurred, I just reset and chose to ignore it. Evidently, the program has been experiencing some amusing side effects.
  3. This morning, when I attempted to reverse out of my driveway, a warning message stating "Release the parking brake" appeared. Make sure the boot and doors are shut. After returning to N and failing to engage reverse, I attempted D and succeeded after hearing the brake shoes ping off, moving forward a couple of inches, and finally succeeding. It seems like the "software" was having a mischievous moment with a 2020 E-Niro 4.
  4. I have not received any letters as yet. I will contact the local dealer.
  5. Thank you for this. The discussion about fatality risk is always welcome. 😁
  6. Inconsistent outcomes for this code. One source indicates a blower regulator. Another state's driver airbag. Has anyone experienced this firsthand?
  7. Prior to publishing here. Returns solely the code, excluding its true definition.
  8. I checked for any outstanding recalls and found the following code: 0032790300. Can anyone verify the purpose of this? I have not received any correspondence regarding this matter. The most recent recall I completed was the full replacement of the EGR cooler in 2022. The vehicle is a 2012 640D, equipped with a N57 engine.
  9. Thank you in advance for any assistance.
  10. Greetings to all, I am considering tinting my car's windows, but I find the multitude of possibilities very overwhelming. I am uncertain regarding the optimal amount of tint for effective heat reduction and privacy while being below legal limits. Furthermore, I have learnt that various film types, such as ceramic, metallic, or dyed, exhibit differing impacts on UV protection and durability. I am interested in learning about experiences with professional installation compared to DIY kits. Are there concealed expenses or maintenance recommendations I should consider? Any suggestions or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.
  11. Fuel makers claim that their premium fuels include superior detergents compared to their ordinary fuels. They might, of course, be deceiving. However, how can one ascertain with certainty the contents of a bottle of Redex, Millers, or Whyns? They may be repackaging standard petrol or diesel and marketing it in little bottles at exorbitant costs as 'fuel system cleaning'. I am unable to substantiate this assertion. If you, as a consumer, lack confidence in the veracity of the manufacturer's assertions, refrain from purchasing their items - it is your prerogative. b. MB does not endorse the use of gasoline additives introduced by the driver. However, they do not restrict the use of fuels that have had additives included by the gasoline vendor. The owner's handbook for my W203 said so, but I am uncertain whether Mercedes-Benz's recommendations have since evolved. Consequently, the use of premium fuels aligns with MB's recommendations.
  12. I am uncertain of the specific component number, since I have yet to determine its intended destination. Additionally, garages seem disinterested; two have informed me that the vehicle is too old to get parts, despite its showroom condition.
  13. I will examine it. I am becoming more frustrated with the installation and removal of the hardtop. I reside in Worksop; if someone could rectify this issue, please contact me.
  14. Thank you, torque2me. Seek a competent mechanic to identify the potential issue and its location.
  15. Hello, I am unable to identify the micro switch on Realoem. It would be beneficial to know what I am searching for or its precise location inside the storage compartment. Does anybody have suggestions to assist me in resolving this issue?
  16. Thank you for your prompt response. Please be patient with me, since at 75 years of age, my days of working beneath automobiles are over, but I remain mobile.Laughing out loud. I verified that all pump levels are OK. The red light on the inside console began to flash, marking the onset of the issue, and it now flashes continuously.Which switch are you referring to?
  17. Hello, I am experiencing an issue with repairing the hood, which I have been informed involves a micro switch. I have scheduled appointments at three different garages, and I have been continuously dismissed for over seven months. My BMW has just 66,000 miles, and I am something of a fanatic about it, since it is immaculate both inside and out. It left the factory equipped with all available features at the time, including a television. I consulted a BMW technician who diagnosed the issue as a malfunctioning micro switch located on the left side inside the canopy storage compartment. I have searched extensively for a replacement, but have been unable, since suppliers continue to provide parts for later models. I reside in the Nottinghamshire region of the UK and would really appreciate any assistance available. Thank you for your consideration. Best regards to everybody
  18. The products manufactured in China are substandard, as expected.
