From what I can tell from my quick Google search, the 200K's conductor plate simply needs a scanner to clear the code—the one I already have. Does anyone else have any confirmation on this? If that's the case, I'm considering getting a Febi replacement because I don't want to put too much money into my 23-year-old car. So, say goodbye to a couple curse words, hello to £120 for fluid, filter, and gasket, and £200 for the plate.

Additionally, I've heard nice things about the ICarSoft devices, but I don't know enough about them to give you my honest opinion. However, I do think that some of the devices can do some coding and resetting. If you don't already have a way to read error codes, here's a link to one of the devices:

I wanted to start a new thread to talk about some problems I've been having with my 2003 CLK 200K. Problems with higher-than-usual rpm during changes have been plaguing me recently. To make a long story short, I opted to check the pilot bushing because I knew this car had a history of leaks. Sure enough, I found leaks, so I replaced the bushing and cleaned the wiring loom and connectors on the TCM. Still no joy; the EML light is on and a P2203 code appears, meaning that the speed sensor 3's internal check failed. I have a question: it seems like the conductor plate or maybe the TCM has failed because of the oil invasion. Do you have any opinions on what you think is most likely? Can someone suggest a reliable independent in the Essex area? I'd prefer to do the work myself (and am more than capable), but I'm afraid I'll need to learn code first. I would greatly appreciate any information you may have.

No, that's wrong. They only sell the whole unit.

It is tiny, that much is true.

Hold just a second, I believe you're correct; my callipers seem to be malfunctioning. The measurements were apparently halved by my callipers.wth

it is indeed a very small seal, probably why I'm having so much trouble finding one.

I thought you said the dimensions were 3 mm ID x 8 mm x 2 mm. From what I've read, the proper dimensions should be 6mm x 16mm x 4mm, therefore this one seems on the tiny side.

Is there a real-life part number for it? I doubt so, but it was only an idea.

Could someone please tell me where I can locate the E46 hydraulic roof pump's rotating shaft seal? There is fluid within the electric motor, therefore I suspect the leak is coming from the shaft seal; I fixed mine pump last year, but it still has a leak. I have been searching high and low for a tiny enough seal source in the UK, but none have come up. OD 3 millimetres by OD 8 millimetres by 2 millimetres

If the fob battery is low, then something is wrong. If the vehicle is reacting to the connect app, it's quite unlikely that the problem is with the 12V system.

The actual key that is concealed in the key fob can always be used to open the vehicle.

Without fail, I avoid this problem by replacing the batteries in my key fob every two years. Use your spare key instead, but keep in mind that it will also drain the battery even when not in use.

Swap out the key fob's battery.

Level 4 Niro 72-plate HEV. The wife stepped out in her Nero hairstyle today. Upon returning to the Nero, the key fob failed to unlock it. same outcome, no matter how many times I try. The 'connect' app let me access the car after she called, although at first it would only open the trunk. The doors finally unlocked when I re-locked and unlocked them a second time, however the mirrors remained closed. Upon entering, the vehicle started automatically, without the need to use the 12v button or anything of the like. Is anyone else having this problem and knows what happened or how to repair it? Many thanks

Thanks a lot; oddly enough, I've never come across tyrereviews.com while looking for precisely that. Thanks for getting back to me and for the suggestions you made. I appreciate it.

Two of the best tyre brands are Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and Continental SC7. However, the price is high. The Goodyear Asymmetric 6 and F1 tyres are excellent substitutes. You get a better grip and less noise for the same price. Since tires are subjective, I'm sure you'll be presented with a variety of brands. For more information about each brand and tyre, see the trye review.

Looking through the archives, I couldn't discover any entries about this topic that were published after 2022. Correct me if I'm mistaken; I'd really appreciate it! Anyhow, I need to change all four tires. The car was in Scotland, so it still has the original Pirelli Sottozero M+S tires. Life in Eastbourne, on England's southern coast, is obviously not fulfilling. I would prefer a well-known brand that is both quiet and has a nice grip. I would rather not pay top dollar, but I am unconcerned about running economy or lifespan because I do so few miles each year (no more than 2,000). I am open to any and all suggestions.

Any tyre shop would be able to do an alignment.

Good day, everyone. To maintain straight driving in your brand new Tesla, is your steering wheel crooked? From what I've gathered at the factory, that might be really prevalent. What I did in the absence of a Tesla service center in the area is as follows. If your car acts similarly, please inform me. Much obliged. There Was an Issue with the Alignment of My New Tesla... I Performed These Steps

Your viewpoints are appreciated. It seems that new cars that come with a slanted steering wheel are quite popular. Has anyone else noticed this?
