To test whether it has worked walk away Wait a little bit then see if the door unlocks the keyless way by touching the inside of the han...

This is due to failed DPF regenerations. The system raises the combustion temperature by pumping extra diesel into the combustion chamber to raise the temperature in the exhaust and burn off the carbon deposits . If the regen is stopped or incomplete then the extra diesel washes down the bores to th...

Re: KESSY Keyless entry
Yes, back of the hand is the way to go.

Re: Headlight adjust - Europe
Have you complained to the dealer?
Make enough noise and you might get a free service out of it.
