Used something similar on a BMW engine and it got the job done. Renewing it is necessary with each oil change. It's not cheap to reseal ATP.

Consider giving this some try?

If it's a small leak, I'd just watch it and fix it before the MOT.

That's exactly what I was considering after spending the afternoon poring over diagrams. I kind of miss the oil cooler days.

If the torque converter is located underneath, remove the cover to check for a leak in the back crankshaft seal. The gearbox is being serviced.

Greetings everyone. After giving the area around the engine a thorough cleaning, I discovered that an oil leak is actually coming from a rectangular plastic cap located on the side of the engine, sandwiched between the sump and the bottom cover of the gearbox. The oil cooler seals were replaced a couple of years ago on this 2011 E350. Much obliged.

I wouldn't stress over it. As soon as I start the engine, I switch mine off. I have never understood its purpose.

I hope your new car is a joy to drive.

Do not expect a gentle hybrid. Yes, I did look. I have also mentioned three times that the 12v battery discharge message appears almost every time I turn it on. In other words, "it's one of those things" again. I am prepared to trade it in right now.

A lot of factors affect the stop-start function, and one of them is the battery charge status. short trips, air conditioning, road type, lighting. style of driving, among many others. It is common for the stop-start feature to not function, presuming your vehicle is a moderate hybrid. The stop-start feature included in mild hybrids has been the subject of numerous forum posts.

My vehicle was purchased in June of 2025. The energy save feature activates maybe once or twice a month. If not, the power button remains amber at all times. During the week, I travel 30 miles one way. Extended trips, during vacations and weekends. The technicians at the dealership, with whom I've spoken three times now, have informed me that "it has to meet certain conditions in order to engage." Over the years, I've logged countless miles behind the wheel, both long and short, on highways and A/B roads. No pattern has been apparent to me. It is uninvolved. How can I fix this?

("General" in the Settings menu, then "Scroll down to find Transfer or Reset," and finally "Reset"). Nothing is changed or lost.) My E Class 'Vert Audio 20's PIN number is 0000. For some reason, the ML's low-priced yet contemporary Android head unit connected the very first time I asked; I didn't even need a PIN number.

Under control.

Indeed, but that was irrelevant.

I don't know if this will help, but have you already erased all data from the previous phone? If you have already done this, I apologise.

I upgraded from an iPhone SE to an iPhone 16 not long ago, but I kept my number and used the same SIM card. Neither the new phone nor the A207 can detect each other, hence they are incompatible. The previous phone operated perfectly in the A207. Instead of COMAND, the vehicle has Audio 20. Are any suggestions out there?

Yesterday, my neighbourhood Asda was closed. People were shopping in a frenzy, apparently unable to cope with the extra £4. It probably cost them more to go fill up and endure the long lines. It was 1.39 without lead.I will add some Asda derv to the daily today; diesel was £1.48 and shell super was £1.55. I put a bit of both in because my M4 needs it.

£128.9 for petrol and £137.9 for diesel; no price hikes as of yet.

Actually, the head of the fuel sector in Australia was the one who advised against panic buying, and just a fifth of the supply comes from the Gulf. It leaped, much to everyone's surprise. For that reason, I brought up week 1.

Do not assume for a second that there will not be profiteering due to the abundance of other suppliers and channels. 😣
