Re: Pro shopping tip C300

Just so you know, we've loved our 2019 C300 Sport Premium Estate for the past six years. The vehicle is currently 54,300 miles and has had only two service items—a battery replacement and an update to the communications module—to address an issue with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Both of these ...

Re: Suggestions needed, please!

Among them, I would choose Pagid, as Borg and Beck have significantly deteriorated from their former quality; I seem to remember that they are now produced with inferior materials in India. Brembo no longer operates as an independent entity; their products are now manufactured under a licensing ...

Re: Drl headlights are malfunctioning on the passenger side.

It occurred to me. Additionally on the side of the passenger. Precisely the identical symptom as what you are delineating.
I was required to substitute the complete component. It is sealed and cannot be disassembled to replace solely the white DLR.

Naturally, it is far from inexpensive!

I explored ...

Re: Arched "A" Pilar Decoration.

It might be necessary to direct it behind the airbag in the A-pillar as well. So that the bag doesn't snag the cable and/or camera and potentially shoot the passenger in the face, I've had to do this on prior vehicles.

Re: Hybrid powertrain

Not surprising at all! The original battery was already an AGM if you replaced it. Investing in a battery charger to keep the 12v battery in your Evoque is a good idea if you plan on leaving it unused for more than a few days.

brake master cylinder failed on 2016 2.2 Diesel Sorento

I need a new set of seals for the brake master cylinder. Does anyone know where I can get them?

Everyone I've contacted has said they don't have this item in stock, except for Kia.

Xceed 2022 from Kia

Greetings, everyone. I require assistance. I am experiencing an intermittent "crank no start issue" with my 2022 Kia Xceed, which consistently starts on the second attempt. The vehicle has been serviced at the Kia dealership four times, during which they replaced the starter motor and the fuel pump ...
