  1. as per service advisor it could be a steering module issue, but i feel that the guy has not checked it properly and he is no longer employed at agent.
  2. Dear All, My CLA 200 2019 pops up below errors time to time and does not shift to P. This occurred after a week after battery done through the agent, several references obtained indicate this is due to a damaged door lock where the door was opened while vehicle is in D, any one has experience of this
  3. I am planning to buy a BMW i8 2015-16. so many low mileage cars up for sale, any one know of known issues of the car appreciate any feedback
  4. update - i got the job done at Borelasgamuwa and was there for the entire process, seems to be they are experts on this while i was there BMW Z4,X5 Audi A4 and believe it or not an Aston Martin also got the same job done, reasonable price and very fast and professional service.
  5. Any idea where i can buy and replacement unfortunately i want one i doubt anyone will sell one
  6. I did a car checks before purchase at the time of purchase there were no vibration, my wife use the car so i do not know is she did hit a large pothole
  7. Hi all, I bought a CLA 200 about 06 months back, suddenly vehicle is having a vibration at speeds exceeding 100Kmph when checked it seems the two front alloy wheels are slightly warped. Two joints, one in Borelasgamuwa and another in Dehiwala said they were doing the relevant repair/correcting through a machine that takes around 4 hours. I obtained two opinions from known reputed tyre shops, one guy said it is not advisable to correct it as it will harm the structure of the wheel while the other guy said there will not be a major structural impact. As it stands i do not have a choice , much appreciated your advice on this
  8. Congrants i have a car with same colour, your head light mod seem very cool
  9. used Mazda 06 for 2 years and merc for 2 years, driving pleasure - Mazda all the way, i used to go to Colonial for service and repairs back then (up to 2017) services provided was pretty decent. those cars did have a issue with front suspensions so better get them checked, also most of the cars were maintained by agents and used by people who loved cars so mostly shortcuts were not used. Good luck once you own a mazda you will be a fan for life
  10. plus no functionality unless you are in Nuwaraeliya, owned two cars with sunroofs, may be opened the sun blind only three times in the last five years, that was my kid.

    CLA 200

    Thnx m8 mine is a 2011 so i thought its time for a change, in fact this is a for my wife, size etc. should be sorta ok,
  12. HI guys, after 24 months 50K Km's later i have decided to part ways with my E200. my options are C180/200 2015-16 ish or CLA200 2018-19. CLA 200 is 1.3L engine and so many vehicles are currently put on market for sale. Can any expert give me feed back, are there any issues with the vehicle as so many are listed online for sale.
  13. Hi all, My check engine light lit up after running about 100Km after recent service. Agents carried out a scan and said error is shown in the catalytic converter and was due to poor fuel quality, as per them about 30 vehicles came with the issue recently, They showed me photos of tar like substance clogging. error was deleted and they recommended to use an octane booster(Liquimoley) once and then a fuel tank additive injector cleaner to see if it will clear up. As per them octane boosters should not be used regularly and Eco tablets is a big no. I pumped 95 petrol throughout from IOC even during the peak of shortage, so now i think it is not possible to use Euro vehicles in Sri Lanka due to shortage of spares as well as poor fuel quality.
  14. can any one recommend me a place to buy reliable Audi parts. my A5 need break pads and break disks as well as few bushes, Agents quote is over Rs.1.2Mn. (VAT account for Rs.0.30Mn) If i bring down through ebay will there be a huge tax on it?
  15. I would think that is normal. It was same with my Vezel which i used for 80K without any issue
  16. Wow where do you pump fuel bro, couldn't find 95 for a month now
  17. Can anyone provide any guidance on using 92 Octane on Euro turbo engines. Merc and BMW agents strictly recommend not to use 92 or Octane boosters. Will there be permanent harm to the engines. I have been pumping IOC Euro 03 for the past month.
  18. I'm pumping 92 at the moment for my two Euro's it is hard to find any octane boosters other than Eco Tablets. any advise on using by experts
  19. HI all, My E200 suddenly would not start. There was no issues with the battery or starter motor. As per D*MO this is a common issue with 2010-2011 models, around 6-7 similar vehicles has come to them for repairs. The repair cost quoted is around Rs.250K for the unit and programming. I suggested to them that they should have at least sent an SMS to the registered owners from the system giving a warning to owners to take preemptive action. Just shared in the forum if there are other owners and also any advise on the cost quoted by D*MO, it it reasonable. (Anyways i have told them to proceed with the repair)
  20. I know a guy who has got orders to manufacture some parts for local assembly of motorcycles of a reputed brand. I would think there would be more such SME's if local value addition to assembly is made mandatory
  21. There is a bubble in the vehicle market. Finance institutions are funding people purchasing these vehicles at exorbitant prices. The debt burden on vehicle buyers are too high and down the line when vehicle prices drop they will stop paying. These institutions are already stretched with Moratorium contracts. I would forecast a high Non performing asset ratio come March 2022 when debt moratorium end so the entire finance industry is at risk at the moment. If one company fail there will be a run on the deposits. Bit too late by CBSL i guess for corrective action. Bunch of theorists who act as if they know everything but no practical action.
  22. I think there is a LTV cap coming on selected vehicle models, CBSL is collecting price and LTV data for last 03 years
  23. They have started collecting Vehicle values and maximum facility amounts granted for selected vehicles - Vitz, Wagon R etc with YOM 2015/16/117/18/19 from Banks and Finance companies, I think a price control on vehicles are on the way
  24. https://greasemonkey.lk/?s=stop+leak&post_type=product
  25. I would think they can sell the car at a inflated price now and get more profit
