Re: Extensive Terms of Service revision

My vehicle is being servicing today. The rental vehicle displayed the Terms of Service screen upon ignition - it was pleasant to decline and let another individual to enjoy the experience :)

Re: Removal of the boot trim and addressing the squeak in the S205 C63S estate

Exercise caution with the last plastic component that forms the upper section of the boot next to the back seats. The clamps securing this component are very rigid. Upon reflection, I believe there exists a more effective method to completely retract the carpet. Perhaps starting at the midpoint of t...

Re: Removal of the boot trim and addressing the squeak in the S205 C63S estate

I own an S205 (C43). Upon removing the parcel shelf device, a little screw will be revealed, facilitating the detachment of the plastic trim piece that accommodates the parcel shelf tang. By elevating the rear seatbelt where it traverses the top of the seat on that side, you may also discover an add...

Re: Strange noise coming from the rear end of the F10 2013 LCI 530D Auto

I've discovered today that it occurs (when cold) while taking a right hand turn (not a right hand curve, but going right onto another road) - Doesn't appear to do it on a left turn (although I can't be 100%)

Thank you; I'll have a garage look at them. However, why would it go as soon as the vehicle warmed up?

Strange noise coming from the rear end of the F10 2013 LCI 530D Auto

Hello everyone, I own a 2013 F10 530D LCI Auto. A bizarre noise that sounds like it's coming from the rear end and is a kind of "thwock"-type banging noise started to develop yesterday, especially when you're travelling over even little bumps. Though not too loud, it is perceptible. Howeve...

Re: Depleted battery?

Possibly poor grounding.
The battery should have a voltage of 13 volts or more when the engine is operational.

Re: Is the radiator hose leaking?

Have you secured the hose clamp while the system was at its full operational temperature?

Re: Adaptive xenon headlights from 2014

My Proceed is also from 2014, thus I presume it is designed with the same logic; as previously said, they only oscillate left and right beyond walking speed. Additionally, be aware that they function just when the lights are set to 'Auto'; they do not activate when the headlights are manually config...
