Is your miles per gallon range broke.? When you first started the video.. it was at 144. Almost 7 minutes into your video… it was at 147. Mines goes down by the second. Literally. Yours haven’t went down AT ALL. How.?
It helped with the shifting but that god forbidden light still came on 😅 drive system malfunction, everything I research just claim there was a lawsuit against Audi for the issue
Just picked my Tiguan up last week man I’m having so much fun w this car . It’s sooo good on handling I’m so in love I owned bmw nd my wife drives audi yes it’s a little slow 😢 but it’s soooo fun in traffic it swims like a goddamn shark ❤😊 I’m a happy camper
HFL module defect that Acura refuses to replace is one of my concerns, if your battery is drained and the area above rear view mirror is warm/hot it's the HFL module that continues to draw current when car is turned off. Dealerships will never tell you about this and I went through 2 batteries before searching online. Good luck.
I just bought 4 new Michelin Cross climate 2 tires to replace my Bridgestone Ecopia tyres that came with my brand new 2024 Subaru Forester and those were also great tires for driving also but are not winter rated and living in Northern Alberta Canada I need winter tires. I opted for the Cross climate 2 tires with some research before buying because they are winter rated with the 3 snow flakes symbol on the tire sidewalls + you do not need a second set of tires and rims to drive the other seasons. I did do sound testing with my audio feedback sensor I bought to see if there where a difference in DB audio, I'm pleased to mention that the audio feedback on the Michelin Cross climate tires are 1-2 DB quieter than my factory new Bridgestone tires (I will sell my Bridgestone tires now) . Michelin Cross climate 2 tires handle well and look aggressive also for the winter conditions that we have in Northern Canada with slush, snow and ice that makes driving a little scary sometimes. Very happy camper!!
What good is emergency breaking with hydraulics?😅If you need to use emergency breaks it can only mean one thing - hydraulics is busted! What genius designed this "system"?🤡
Stelvio 18 is irking the hell out of me. So I’m not the only person going thru this. my Electronic Trottle control light started popping up with the START/STOP UNAVAILABLE. I got a new Throttle Body Conteol Sensor I believe that’s wat it was an 2 months later the same thing happened again. When I took it back the engine light had went off. Now it’s back. I Love my Stelvio but I’m about to go back to my Subaru . Waaaaay Less time at the dealership. No Complimentary Cars. 🤷🏿♂️ Like WTF. But turning the car on, u don’t have to put it in drive. Turn wheel to the left til it stops then to the right til it stops Then power off. Turn back on and Code clear
2014 Escape also has that junk transmission. Sometimes they last sometimes not. Mine started slipping in 6th gear (automatic) in around 2016 (45,000 miles approx). Some last 4000 miles off the showroom floor. It's literally an expensive crap shoot.
I got the service electronic throttle control message smh... That sounds expensive... It keeps turning on... Then turning off... every few days... goes into limp mode. very annoying
I Used to have a 2008 Dodge Magnum. The magnums were built on a Mercedes E Class chassis. The transmission was also a Mercedes Benz transmission. Interesting little bit of history.
Transmission malfunction notice came on the dash of my 2017 Audi A3 last night and it's slipping gears. It automatically goes to D2 and shifts in even gears only(D2>D4>D6). Dash says it's ok to drive. After trying the said instructions in this video, the check engine light came on as well. I don't know if it's connected to attempting this tip or not.
So what do I do if my window decides it no longer wants to operate at all 😅. I have a 2018 Nissan Rogue SV and I just installed a new battery, so the auto up feature stopped working. I tried this trick and my window became sluggish and stopped working for a bit. It took some time to reset so I could finally bring it up again, but I'm afraid to try this again now. Any advice?
I do have a question.., mine is 2018 Stelvio Quattro and my front dash is off (all suddenly) right in front of The steering wheel, any suggestions? Also does the feature you mentioned about the pedestrians come w this car? 2018 Stelvio Quattro, I really do appreciate your help! Thank you!
Ive a 2010, no real issues because i do my own maintenance, regularly. 162k miles. Only complaints are tire noise and the usual electric trunk issues, it does seem to use up a lot of front headlight bulbs and an occasional rash of false sensor warnings on the dash info screen. The subframe bolts tend to make noise , but its 14 years old with 162 k , reliable and comfy with 33mpg.... really can't ask for more, im sure a domestic would be dead by now
I am on my second set of CrossClimate2 now. My first set from a local nation chain store I drove for 3 years 58,500 miles and sold it while they are still within the 60,000 miles / 5year warranty with tread depth of 5mm (6/32nd) left from 10mm new. I sold them for 50% of what I paid when new and applied them to the second set at Costco due to their excellent free 60,000 miles /5year free balance, rotation and repair warranty with 3 year roadside assistance from Micheline once registered. Last month after driven the second set for 25,000 miles I got a nail next to the side wall that was too weak to repair by Costco and they had to replace the tire. It costed me total of only $27 based on the pro-rated warranty due to the tire only decreased 1mm tread depth from 10mm to 9mm. I will keep on buying and selling these tires within the warranty period to get new fresh flexible treads which would have more flexible and safer tread compound than a set of winter tires that has been sitting around for 1/2 of the time and driven only in winter for 7 years. This way I will ever need to be think or paying the changing back & forth between All Seasons and Winter tires regardless if there is a 60 degree temperature fluctuations between season or one warm early spring week follows by another week of snowy & icy stormy weather. I just need to make sure the tire pressure is set correctly frequently (base on the cold tire temperature standard of 68F/20C) and enjoy the ride every time.
Hey man. Went stage 2 on my 2016 7R. The first tuners file was strong and my dsg was violent when changing. He told me that it's normal. I asked him to flash back cause I was worried about damaging my box. Lost my money for the tune Then I went to another popular house and it did the same but not as bad. They guys checked and couldn't fix it. Also did dsg service. I was planned to do a stock flash and then tried your process. It fixed my issue. Dsg is like butter on boost and I'm enjoying the stage 2 now. Sori for the long message but wanted to share my full experience to help others with similar issue. Thanks you are a legend. Oh, I didn't wait so long after to start the car, was like a few seconds only. The trick is the accelerator floor for the 30 seconds. I heard a click after that. Cheers
I have a 2014 Volkswagen Passat Wolfsburg edition and I'm having some issues with a rough start misfire in in Pittston 2 and 4 but when I cut it off and let it sit for 5 seconds and re-crank it it goes away I'm starting to think it may be my EGR Val
Have a 2015, along with the clutch/transmission issues, my radio quit working 2 years ago. Started making real loud popping/ crackling noises, then just stopped working all together
My radio is the same way, after I looked at the forums they only solutions that came up were to pull the fuse, or open the head unit and lightly torch solder or buy after market. The latter proved more efficient
