Resetting the windows:



You must reset all the side windows if the side window cannot be closed fully.
X Close all the doors.
X Turn the key to position 2 in the ignition
lock.
X Pull on the corresponding switch on the door control panel until the side window is completely closed
X Hold the switch for an additional second.
If the side window opens again slightly:
X Pull the corresponding switch again immediately and hold it for approximately one second.

What is the significance of the other intake hole(right side in the image)? Is that for future upgrades?




Should I leave the removable blocker opened?

Mine 250 is actually using driver side inlet.
I think both inlets are used by big brothers.
By opening the cap you will let some air to bypass the radiator.

Heated air for the rear compartment comes out of those ducts. You might be able to test it out by cycling through the vent modes and put it on the floor setting.

Hello Guys,
Either on a cold start or a normal start, I get this clinking noise when shifting to Neutral or Drive or Reverse.
It makes that sound only when I switch the diff. drive modes, there is no continuous noise.
Is that normal?

Thanks.

yes its normal. Just the electronic accentuater changing the gear for you. Mine does it too. If it bother you, then I strongly advise you to stay away from VW / Audi / Porsche dual clutch gear boxes, because they make all sorts of clicks, ticks and grunts that when first heard, you think "oh crap". But nothing could be further from the truth!

The vehicle started developing some rattle noise near driver side wheel well, when going over bumps and bad roads.
Turns out, the sway bar bracket is broken and covered under ELW.
They don't have the part in hand and no loaner, so, I have to go back again.
Also, the SA mentioned the firmware updates are not available under ELW.

You mean the sway bar bracket? If it's the bar, I want to know where you have been driving this car. LOL
