  1. Start Stop function?

    I have the 1.4 M Air

    The start stop function never worked due to battery. Nw that I am changing my battery, the battery shop told me that the already installed battery (from previous owner) is a non start stop variety.

    The start stop one (with coding) would cost 130 quids

    Like for like replacement only 70 quids

    Any one knows wheather getting the starstop battery would actually make the start stop work or not?

  2. Sorted.

    A quick browse of the manual solved the issue. There is this volumetric sensor inside the cabin that can be deactivated via the small button on the front cabin lights. When you press that button it lights and that means that the inside sensor is deactivated.

  3. For the past e nights my Delta alarm was trigerred possibly by wild life, or maybe spontaneously. Initially, I was too lazy to get out and check and just had a good look from the window and made sure nobody was tampering with it and deactivated the alarm from my key fob. Only to be waken up within 10-15 minutes, that was repeated like 2-3 times until I got out opened the car and started the engine (kind of acknowledging the alarm).

     

    Interestingly, there was no alert on the dashboard screen (usually says breaking attempt or something if that sort)

     

    Any body had any experience with that?

    Anybody knows what is the usual sequence of events after an alarm set, and how to deactivate it properly...?

     

    Is the alarm sensitivity accessible and can it be readjusted, where are the sensors, what to look for for sorting out this hyper reactivity or even spontaneous set off?

  4. I fitted Michelin primacy to replace the original Michelin that came with the car. I think I got a good deal at my local costco with About 80 quid a corner and mine are the 17 inch.

    Can't fault them for grip but I think they are a bit loud on the road.

  5. Dear  Friends,

    Just came across these original brake pads on ebay

    They are the original Ricambi , but seems to have been around for quite a while as if they are old stock.

     

    On the other hand The Bosch ones from my german online supplier

    https://www.autodoc.co.uk/bosch/1161839

     

    Both are of fairly similar price.

     

    I am not easy buying old stock from ebay and would rather go for the trusted Bosch from a tried supplier. Yet I heard opinions that brake pads are best to go for the originals.

     

    What is your advice?

  6. Now the coolant had been around for about 8 years in the car, do we expect it to deteriorate in properties?

    I am getting my cambelt and water pump replaced soon, and I was thinking of bleeding the coolant and replacing a fresh clean lot into the system.

    I know it is the paraflu that is specifically needed... Any ideas how many litres do i need.
