The BEST All-in-one car scanner? Launch X431 Elite BBA Review
Launch X431 BBA on Amazon (affiliate): locally.link/E0p2
Who needs expensive dealership level tools like ISTA, VCDS and Xentry, when one tablet can do it all in one easy, and fairly inexpensive package? This is the LAUNCH X431 Elite BBA. That last part is the important one - BBA stands for Benz, BMW, and Audi. This specific model actually does the full VAG group, so VW, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Skoda and Seat, along with Mercedes, Smart, Maybach and Sprinter vans, plus BMW, Rolls Royce and Mini - all from this one little tablet. It’s not just a basic OBD code reader either - this does full module scans with dealership level codes, the same as something like VCDS does for VAG cars, or ISTA does for BMWs. You’ve also got access to a decent list of service functions, things like setting the electric handbrake into pad change mode for example, plus a bunch of coding options, like enabling hidden features, or just outright coding new functions into various modules. Pretty impressive for one bit of hardware, right?

Dacia Duster 2023 Review - TCe 150 + DSG
Переглядів 15 тис.Рік тому
If you insist on buying an SUV, the 2023 model Dacia Duster might be your best bet. It's not luxury by any stretch of the imagination, but at ~£24,000 brand new in stock right now, it's one of the cheapest cars you can buy full stop. Paired with the higher horsepower TCe 150 engine and a 6 speed DSG transmission, it's a much more well rounded build than the TCe 90 I reviewed last year. Car phon...
THE DEALERSHIP WANTED HOW MUCH FOR THIS???

This is the video the Peugeot dealership sent to the owner of this 308, and this is the invoice to replace just the front brake pads and discs. £432 for two discs and four pads. That is absolutely insane! You can buy the same quality parts for well under half of that, and even if you didn’t have any tools at all, still do it yourself for less money that they want to charge. Seriously! Brake Cal...

A Christmas Present to Myself - Audi S4 Brake Upgrade!
Переглядів 3,3 тис.Рік тому
The brakes on my 2013 S4 are… fine. They’re fine. I mean, they have a pretty strong vibration at anything over 100 MPH as I found out on the track day, but for road use they’re… fine. What I think Audi should have put on instead are these, the 4 piston Brembo calipers from the bigger brother Audi Q5. You can actually get these on just the 2L TDI, and yet they are considerably better than the si...

    Hi, I have a 2023 Seat Arona FR. Do you know how easy it is to identify an airbag issue with this software and device? Or, in the worst case, is it possible to disable the affected airbag and get rid of the airbag light? I assume that this should be done in the coding option, under Advanced Settings, right? Thanks in advance!

    Excellent video. I’ve been a Tesla driver for 8 years and I just got a new i5 M60 BMW. One pedal driving is easy to master and I rarely touch the brake in the BMW. I do wonder if I’m putting excess wear on the electric engine or the brake system. Knowledgeable comments are appreciated. On the BMW, you have an option of high, medium, low, or adaptive. High puts a lot of regen braking but won’t stop the car. I use adaptive which works beautifully and brings the car to a full stop.

    Lots of people say one pedal driving is NOT more efficient, because most people end up slowing down too much, requiring more acceleration. If regen was 100% effective, that wouldn’t matter, but they only recoup about 20%.

    I hope you are not a tester yourself, so many incorrect comments. Just to mention one, seat belt locking mechanism is checked. I have seen this on lots of 'how to check your own car before an MOT'. When I worked for DVSA as a MOT Trainer I would ask, new testers and on some Refresher courses about this and hardly anyone knew that the locking mechanism IS NOT PART OF THE TEST. Read the inspection manual.

      Yes if just the gaskets. Can you find a good indie shop? I’m hearing more like $850 to just do gaskets but also good to replace PCV while in there since you have supercharger off. Another $300-400 for that. This job is 80% labor.

    I was looking at the 2024 corolla hybrid but my 18 year old son will be using the car. I'm not sure if a new driver would be safe with regen brakes. I've read people complaining that the brakes feel like your stepping on a toilet paper roll and the feeling isn't direct at all. I think 4 disc brakes makes more sense to me.
