Re: MG4 Urban (54 kWh) - Analytical examination of specifications, pricing, and distinctions compared to Classic MG4.

My "traditional" RWD M4 is equipped with an LFP battery. The concepts of drive and comfort are inherently subjective.

Re: Service indicator displayed

Assuming I'm not mistaken, the warning light turns yellow when the front disc wear sensor is shorted, with spaced lines surrounding it; when the second connection shorts, the light turns red.
The only reason the service indicator remains yellow is because of mileage.

Service indicator displayed

I have checked the service screen and it shows that the front pads are malfunctioning, and the car indicator is flashing yellow. My wife is very careful when driving our cars, so we checked the pads and found that they still had plenty of wear left. Perhaps I'm misunderstood, but this message is ...

I managed to activate cruise control a few seconds later, and it served me well for the rest of the journey. Just a message saying "crusie control failer, contact a service center" remained on the screen ...

Re: Require fuel hoses that are no longer available for the W202 C200.

MB, isn't the amount of rubber hoes cut according to the metric system?

Is the shorty hoe that comes with the fuel pump also non-leaking? It has a sharp bend and starts leaking over time.
In the event that MB is unable to provide authentic parts, could you possibly install silicone shoes?
