Re: Please, assist! A bolt was missing from the oil cooler of a 2012 MLI 350 CDI V6.
I considered it, but it was behaving erratically—it wouldn't go where I wanted it to go, despite its clumsiness and loudness.

Re: Please, assist! A bolt was missing from the oil cooler of a 2012 MLI 350 CDI V6.
Whoever has ever worked on an engine has probably done something similar, but it's a bit late now. I inserted a little socket extension into the extremely tight engine bay when replacing the sixteen spark plugs in my AMG, which was my most recent project. I finished the task and drove the car up and...

Re: Need brake repair
It is unnecessary to replace the sensor when the brake pads are 4mm or smaller.While it's generally acceptable during a health check, there are instances where the sensor comes close to touching the disc.

Re: Stress on the serpentine belt 1.25
Since I'm new here, I apologise, but I failed to notice where the owner's car model is mentioned. Last month, I purchased a GATES 4PK845 Micro-V Xf Ribbed V-Belt to gift to a buddy who has a 1.4 Getz equipped with that configuration. Setting the tension doesn't require any special equipment; just ma...

Is there no tensioner that is spring loaded on it?

Re: Window Covers for Your Kia Year
As a general rule, Kia will tolerate a one-month or thousand-mile servicing delay.
The service is due in April, though. To schedule for late March, I will be calling the dealer right away.
The earliest I could get was 24 February, and I booked mine on 6 January. Regarding my dealer.

Re: Will the 2019 330e MSport shocks not include any aftermarket components?
I have electronic dampers controlled by a computer on my M4, but they can be removed and coded out. Many people do this when they install coil overs and fresh springs, among other things.

Re: She has been revived
It is reassuring that the issue has been resolved; however, it was an unusual failure. Indeed, the parts were extensively utilised on the vehicle, but I hope you have retained them as valuable spares. It is very gratifying to learn that you have rekindled your affection for the car! All the challeng...
