Re: Continental SportContact 7

It is not primarily the wear, but rather that they come with less than 7mm, whereas most typically have closer to 8mm. They lasted 9,000 miles on the rear of my M4. In the past, I achieved similar mileage with an E46 330d, and I have observed significantly lower mileage with the diesels I have owned...

Re: Continental SportContact 7

Currently, Continental tires significantly outperform Michelin tires. I regret not having remained with Continental. In fact, all premium brands are satisfactory; however, for high-speed road or track performance, Continental 7 is the superior choice. This week, discussions on M3Cutters revealed tha...

Re: DISPLAY INACTIVE

Thank you

I am curious since I am aware that the updated 9G Civic had head unit problems.

Re: Depleted Battery Alert

We acquired a 9-month-old Sportage GTLine HEV in early September, and we are experiencing the identical problem. The 12V battery alarm has activated four times, and the vehicle is inoperative. I have returned to the dealer and attempted many solutions, but I am unable to address the issue. Have you ...

Re: What is the acceptable quantity of oil consumption?

We have reconstructed ours with high-quality components, and it no longer consumes any oil between changes. Alternatively, if it does occur, the effect is so negligible that it is imperceptible on the stick.

Re: What is the acceptable quantity of oil consumption?

Is it accurate to assert that the R56 Minis use oil, with an expectation of around 1 litre every 1,000 miles?

Re: Issues with hot starting in the 1988 300TE, M013 petrol engine

Rather than a replacement, an adjustment may be necessary. The EHA contains a slider track that serves as the electrical contact. Over time, this contact may experience slight wear at its resting position during engine idling, necessitating an adjustment. To achieve this, loosen the two small Torx s...

Re: What is the cost of the 100,000-mile service for the E280 W211?

In my opinion, the B service seems satisfactory. I would recommend considering a gearbox oil change, which would cost around £400.
