The brake pads were found to be 8 mm in the front and back during the health check.

Re: Need brake repair

To avoid removing the incorrect wheel, I was going to enquire about it, so thank you.Is it OK to utilise the brake pad sensors I found on eBay, or should I invest in authentic ones?

Re: Heating of the CX-60

Have you had any more problems with the electric vehicle aside from the heating malfunction? Mine disabled EV mode with half of the battery still available. There are no heating issues; nonetheless, I will attempt to deactivate it for testing purposes.

Re: Heating of the CX-60

The 7kW charger operates same; it utilises only the battery, not the charger itself.
The design is fundamentally flawed.
Rather than enhancing range, all systems are powered by the EV battery.

Fascinating subject. My investigation is not as extensive as yours, but you are likely correct regarding the heating requirement of 3kW, as a 2.5kW home charger cannot sustain it and resorts to battery usage instead. I am curious whether a car linked to a 7kW charger can charge while heating.

Re: Alternatives for integrating Android Auto into the 2017 (pre-facelift) S205

I would choose for option 3, as it preserves the car's original condition as much as possible. Uncertain on the DAB matter; however, you may enquire about it with Integrated Automotive or Comand UK. Having operated a Mercedes with a rotary control for five years, as well as vehicles equipped with to...
