  2. Alternatively, might we exchange spouses?
  3. VCDS is crucial in this particular situation. Wishing you success!
  4. This information is valuable to me since I own both an EBike and an older iPhone. However, I much want the iPhone 15 Pro for the reasons you have mentioned. I was unaware of the Optimum setting. I would readily and enthusiastically agree to it without hesitation! I hope that future electric vehicles (EVs) are equipped with an Optimum setting.
  5. I inquired of Microsoft Copilot AI: "Does charging the battery from 50 percent to 80 percent more often, rather than charging it less frequently from 20 percent, result in a decrease in battery lifespan?" The reaction implies the need for charging at shorter intervals. If somebody has a differing opinion, kindly provide the rationale behind it: The effect on battery lifespan is influenced by several variables, but on average, charging the battery more often from 50% to 80% is less detrimental than charging it less often from 20% to 80%. The reason is as follows: "Cycling Depth: Charging the battery from 20% to 80% utilises 60% of its capacity, whereas charging from 50% to 80% only utilises 30%." Increased depth of discharge cycles may lead to greater long-term wear. Heat is generated while charging from lower levels of charge, such as 20%, since there is a larger flow of electric current. High temperatures have a negative impact on the overall condition and performance of batteries. Regularly charging the battery to a shallow depth (e.g., from 50% to 80%) produces lower levels of heat. "Batteries undergo mechanical stress when they are being charged and discharged." Regular and superficial cycles reduce the mechanical strain on the cells. "Cell balancing: Certain contemporary electric vehicles employ cell balancing techniques during the charging process." Regularly charging the cell helps to preserve its equilibrium. Generally, it is more beneficial for battery life to charge from 50% to 80% more often. Nevertheless, it is crucial to adhere to the manufacturer's guidelines for achieving the most efficient charging methods.
  6. I have successfully repaired the pump. Despite the presence of 400 bars of pressure at the rail, the engine fails to start. The fuel is not being delivered via the injector return. Is the DDE failing to provide the injectors with the signal to initiate combustion? What is the optimal voltage for the injectors?
  7. It is necessary. Yesterday, I took the pumps to a nearby Bosch expert for a more conclusive assessment.
  8. However, there are no indications of water in close proximity to the electronic control unit (ECU).
  9. However, when the valve is unplugged, it should naturally be at its full capacity, correct?
  10. Although my opinions remain unchanged, I find it concerning that there have been three instances of malfunctioning pumps.
  11. Hello, I am seeking suggestions or concepts. I purchased a non-functional E60 vehicle with low rail pressure codes. I examined the low pressure and found that it was consistent at 6 bars at the high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP). In order to address the issue of leaky injectors, I conducted a leak test by examining the fuel return system. I found no evidence of gasoline leakage. Additionally, I removed the fuel lines leading to the injectors to verify that there was no fuel seeping into the cylinders. I confirmed that there was no fuel present in the rail. I acquired a previously owned high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) that has both the control valve and fuel pressure regulator positioned at the rear of the rail, as a precautionary measure. Despite replacing all the components, there is still no pressure being sent to the rail, with a maximum of around 120 bars. Subsequently, I proceeded to disconnect the gasoline line from the high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) to the fuel rail, and saw that there was no pressure present. Therefore, I am left with either three malfunctioning high-pressure fuel pumps (HPFPs) or two control valves located in the rear of the HPFP. Do you have any suggestions or thoughts? The automobile ignites without any difficulty while using brake cleaning. From my perspective, the electronic control unit (ECU) lacks the ability to hinder the flow of gasoline from the high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) to the fuel rail. Thank you in advance for any valuable insights.
  12. The deceleration of the engine may be attributed to the inertia resulting from the car's motion. It is possible that the engine has already ceased firing, but the gearbox would have forced it to rotate briefly. The 6-speed gearbox does not effectively separate the coasting function. Attach a socket to the crank pulley and check whether it rotates smoothly. whether it does, you can exclude the possibility of a problem with the crank. However, as Marjon said, this is not a common occurrence in V8 engines; it is often seen in the V6 engines of the Sport or Discovery models. If the mechanical functionality is intact and the rotation occurs as anticipated, it will need a diagnostic assessment.
  13. The automobile and its colour are aesthetically pleasing.
  14. I have own my 2014 R8 V10 Plus for a decade, and I continue to have great affection for this vehicle, with no intentions of parting ways with it. Nevertheless, considering the fact that the automobile has reached a decade of age, I am contemplating the idea of upgrading to Generation 2. If somebody has possessed both, what are your reflections. Has anybody had any remorse after upgrading to the second generation? Does the driving experience significantly improve? The R8 in my possession is a bespoke Audi model with an abundance of carbon fibre components and a unique cabin. The outside paint is a really uncommon shade known as Suzuka Grey Matte, in my opinion. I have included photographs of a 2020 R8 that captured my interest, along with the R8 I now own. Will I experience remorse or feel a sense of disappointment over it?
  15. I inherently possess a strong dislike for conforming to popular opinion, yet even I am finding it difficult to contradict the prevailing agreement expressed above. To fully appreciate this automobile, it is necessary to make some adjustments. Your mentality is crucial. You should strive to appreciate and commemorate the true essence of the situation, rather than attempting to transform it into something it is not.You get significant support in doing this by possessing an automobile that is widely regarded as desirable, and which very few other 17-year-olds could ever contemplate acquiring. Most young people begin their driving journey with an outdated, little hatchback that they feel the need to modify in order to make it seem more attractive to their friends, instead of like the practical grocery cart that their mother owns (which it usually is). Those individuals who are enthusiasts of high-performance vehicles, characterised by their noisy exhaust systems, modified suspension systems, and so on, would likely want to own a car similar to yours in the future, provided they attain a level of financial stability that allows for such a purchase. If you are resolute in making your impact, regardless of the scepticism from others (or maybe even motivated by it, if you have a similar disposition as myself), then for what it's worth, I recommend the following: The use of dark tinting on the side and rear windows serves to enhance the natural "gangsta" aesthetic of the vehicle. This will also enhance the sense of exclusivity for you and your group, allowing you to enjoy your party in the rear area without being seen. Is there a bonus available for any typical 17-year-old? In addition, to intentionally challenge the beliefs of those elderly individuals who believe they have acquired knowledge over the last 70 years that you, being 17 years old, do not possess, I enthusiastically suggest using AMG branding. Hello there, my friend.
  16. I do not utilise a pressure washer for my R8. I use a standard hose with deionized water. Water sometimes enters the engine compartment, but not in excessive amounts. I use a vehicle blow dryer to efficiently dry my automobile, particularly the engine bay. I am just removing moisture from the carbon fibre panels. Water is not often present on the engine, save for a little amount near the rear. The V10 FSI insignia is situated where water may enter from the plastic mesh grills below the spoiler. Fast blow-dry and it disappears.
  17. As others have said, your battery is in good condition; but, short travels do not provide sufficient recharging. The traction battery in my E63S is not in optimal condition, since the vehicle is about 6 years old and still has the original battery. It is barely driven once a week and sometimes displays 'Partially Charged' on the dashboard. I have been using an MXS 5.0 every few weeks to maintain its charge till it is replaced later this year. Simply said, there is no need for concern.
  18. Hello, everyone! I have a concern about my Mazda CX60 PHEV Takumi automobile, which was made after December 20, 2022, and acquired from the dealer on November 24, 2023. Upon arriving home with a fully charged battery, the vehicle displayed an estimated range of 58 km. However, after driving a short distance, the range decreased significantly, with 5 km of driving using 12 km of range. Every day, I begin from a warm garage with temps about 17°C at the lowest, and the vehicle is typically fully charged by the time I leave. Over time, the specified range gradually dropped each day. The decline in range continued for the first few km. At full charge, the display displays a range of 37 km, however the real range is 25 km. Removing the negative battery connection resets all systems temporarily for 3 days, but thereafter performance decreases significantly. Over a distance exceeding 6000 km, the power usage is 31.7 kilowatt-hours, and the gasoline consumption is 5.6 litres. Regardless of the temperature, whether cold or warm (about 18-20°C), the car's behaviour remains consistent, with power usage being quite constant. Has anybody had a similar problem and found a solution? Disconnecting the battery cable every 3 days is not a practical solution for a high-end automobile, and the service centre has been unable to find a resolution after applying all TSBs, recalls, and software upgrades. Thank you to everyone!
  19. Spending thousands on a W124 is not difficult. Do not inquire about the source of my knowledge.
  20. The process of "registering a car" refers to informing the vehicle's system that an AGM battery has been installed. It is important to note that the charging protocol for an AGM battery differs from that of a traditional lead-acid battery. If the vehicle was initially configured for an Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) battery, as it should have been if an AGM battery was installed when the vehicle was new, reprogramming should not be necessary. However, if the previous battery's discharge disrupted the programming, reprogramming may be required.
  21. I am really intrigued by the discoveries you will make. I have recollections of encountering same difficulties with my last vehicle, the CX-5. The resolution I discovered for addressing issues related to ventilation, temperature, and humidity included a comprehensive examination of the handbook, whereby I meticulously identified and subsequently deactivated all references to the "ECO" feature inside the vehicle. For example, ECO A/C may be considered.
  22. Please specify the option you are referring to. Is the condensation of water occurring just over the defroster or is it a more widespread occurrence of fogging?
  23. This has significant importance. The presence of a significant amount of condensed water on the inner surface of the windscreen of an unoccupied vehicle, particularly concentrated above the front defroster, is unusual. It is worth noting that the air entrance of the ventilation system is in close proximity to the engine compartment. Water infiltrated the ventilation system at that location, and rather than being expelled, it undergoes heating inside the engine room and then travels to the windscreen. How did it enter the ventilation system? The question at hand is intriguing. Perhaps during the process of washing the car? The air conditioning (A/C) system functions by dehumidifying the air and typically should remove the extracted moisture from the vehicle. It is possible that the current drainage system is not functioning well. I would be inclined to do an experiment whereby the coupe heating is operated at maximum capacity inside a closed circuit, using the dashboard button to allow this function. The objective of this experiment would be to ascertain if the application of hot air alone is sufficient to eliminate the presence of water within the ventilation system. I have had my CX-60 for over a year now, and in a colder temperature than that of the UK and Germany. However, the amount of fogging experienced would be significant enough to create an igloo-like environment throughout the winter season in my location. Fortunately, the event has not yet occurred.
