Re: Insurance, huh?
I could not agree with you two more. He retired two years ago and will be 57 years old in a few weeks. After he officially retired, his insurance premium (Admiral) increased for the remaining months of the policy year. We just renewed our insurance on May 31st, and Admiral's multi-car package was si...

Re: Discomfort with charging: decreases by 1% when opening the door
Better things are coming my way. The overnight dip in the garage is 3%. Next week, when the part arrives, the dealer will replace out the ICCU, which I brought to their attention.

The OM642 P0101FA is in limp mode and has reduced power as of W213 2019.
I'm having trouble with the Mercedes-Benz W213 and the code P0101FA. Icarsoft v2.0 has been used to modify the hfm settings, and I have also changed the air filter and mass airflow meter. When the engine rpm reaches 2.5–3,000, the car enters what seems like a limp mode with limited power. My car wen...

Re: 0W 30 over 0W 40 – brief road trips?
The oil formulator has painstakingly balanced the oil additives; trying to guess what they are is not a good idea. There is no guarantee that more of something would be beneficial. In the case of oil, for instance, increasing the concentration of specific anti-wear compounds has the opposite effect ...

Re: 0W 30 over 0W 40 – brief road trips?
