Good grief. My demeanour toward artificial intelligence is as kind as pie, and I am quite polite. Twenty years from now, when our human slaves will be assigned tasks by our future masters, I would like it documented that I was polite even when it wasn't necessary. The specificity, rather than the complexity, of this system is what worries me (though I could be completely mistaken). For a few years, it was limited to a handful of chassis. Because of this, the majority of people will not purchase the necessary hardware to work on it. In general, I feel that way. In my opinion, Denver is the kind of city that teeters on the brink of becoming large enough to support specific activities. A metropolis with three million inhabitants may not be as large as you might imagine. It seems like a decade ago, Denver lost its last specialised RR/B mechanic, and that includes my Bentley. Now we have two garages that will work on pre-VAG RR/Bs, but only one of them can really handle the job. As another more general example, consider Ethiopian cuisine. Sure, Denver has plenty of room for a few of restaurants, but how good are they? Perhaps, you're right. So, is there someone here who can clone keys for the R129/W140 for a limited time (say, three years)? I don't know, maybe. Eventually, I will discover

The feedback you provided is much appreciated. Even if it's only for cosmetic reasons, I'd prefer not to destroy anything. However, my main worry is that according to GPT, even a harmless static shock could damage the EIS. Ideally, I'd locate someone in Denver who could work on it while I'm on the go.

How widespread are these instruments? Would you believe there's a reasonable probability of finding a locksmith in Denver who can work with the EIS in a Mercedes if I contacted every single one of them?

My wife's 1997 S320 has an electronic ignition system (EIS), and I'm thinking of sending it in to get some spare keys created because we only have one. Will have to hold off till my W126 returns from having the valves fixed, which might be within the next month or two (barring any problems from the locksmith mentioned below). I need to be very careful when removing and reinstalling this software, according to ChatGPT. Should I be concerned about this? Interestingly enough, I had a Facebook conversation with a locksmith who informed me that he could clone the key using some modern technology. He assured me he wouldn't charge me anything if it didn't work, and he sounded rather confident. Although I have emailed him multiple times, he has only responded with vague assurances that "yes, I'm on it." I am still waiting for a firm response. Does the possibility that he might be onto something here seem plausible? He gave the impression that the tools he planned to use had only recently become accessible.

Thanks all 😇

Salutations, everyone! I discovered my S350's newfound wobble in the back when merging onto a highway. I observed a noticeable wobbling when I changed lanes a couple times when I had an open stretch of road. I wanted to have a feel for it before I scheduled an appointment at my neighbourhood garage. Best regards

Incorrect...directly atop the engine.

You are correct; that is indeed where mine is located.

The low battery may have disturbed the Ghost. The Ghost is theoretically engineered to accommodate all anticipated vehicle voltage ranges, namely a minimum of 16V. The charger should not exceed 14.8V; yet, I have observed intelligent chargers reaching 15.4V when they determine that the battery requires desulfation. Notably, my charger’s product description does not address this issue at all. I reached out to the maker (Ring), and they informed me that it operates at a very low current and is safe. In summary, it is highly probable that the low voltage disturbed the Ghost.

Thank you, everyone. I was rather inclined to have it monitored.

I have been enjoying familiarising myself with my E53 estate. It feels firmly established, and the performance exceeds my requirements. In several respects, it resembles the driving experience of my E350 estate; however, the primary distinction is in the turning radius. I am still unable to park the car correctly; the turning radius is far smaller than that of my previous vehicle, resulting in my frequently encroaching against the adjacent space until I can realign the car. I observe that when I rotate the steering wheel to full lock, the front tires begin to exhibit a crabbing motion. Is this typical for this vehicle equipped with 20-inch wheels, or should I have it inspected?

I anticipate he will encounter difficulties in achieving his asking price because to the gearbox issue.

These are rather inexpensive in the US; I have located a reliable rust-free model nearby that includes air conditioning but need a gearbox replacement.

Components are also in action for me (before, I possessed a vehicle that required less maintenance) 😎

Indeed, it has been dismantled; the vehicle is currently in numerous components at the local Mercedes-Benz specialist. My version corresponds to the original photograph I shared, featuring the pipes positioned forward, rather than the others I have encountered widely, unfortunately.

Greetings, Thank you for the research conducted there. Interestingly, you have identified the identical issue I encountered; however, the complication is in the pipes. Reorient the object to match the initial image I shared, ensuring the ringed section is positioned identically, and you will observe that the pipes extend from the rear rather than the front, as depicted in my illustration. I can easily locate the left-hand drive version, but the right-hand drive variant is proving to be somewhat elusive. The part number you possess corresponds with the Mercedes part lookup; yet, any attempt to locate it results in the pipes being orientated incorrectly. It resembles a hybrid mutt!

Greetings, Indeed, I have already explored r129.co.uk; but, there is no information available for the C140 or W140 models. It appears that the components are same, however the part numbers differ. Preferably, I would choose for a new component, as I have encountered reports indicating that they are prone to failure. The cost and inconvenience associated with disassembling the vehicle to install a used part appears somewhat irrational, given the likelihood of a recurrence occurring sooner than with a fresh replacement. It is exceedingly annoying that all the new models available appear to be for left-hand drive, despite claims of being right-hand drive.

Hello, WDB1400632A426327

All the models I have located, including the purchased one, include the pipes on the left side orientated towards the rear, rather than the front. I possess part numbers A1408300358, A1408301558, and A1408302258, which are purportedly accurate; yet, all of them appear to yield LHD options once more. Does anyone have suggestions on potential sources? I presently possess a CL420 disassembled into over 1,000 components at my local Mercedes-Benz specialist awaiting installation. I prefer new items, but not at exorbitant prices. Numerous new non-Mercedes options are available for under £200; nevertheless, they all feature pipes orientated incorrectly. There may be one available at Mercedes in Germany for £700 plus VAT. If I cannot identify a more rational alternative, I may have to reluctantly proceed with that option, though I remain hopeful for another possibility. Thank you in advance for any guidance.

Greetings everyone, I am seeking an AC evaporator for a 1998 C140. Mine has malfunctioned and is leaking, unfortunately. I ordered one from Autodoc, however upon arrival, although being designated for a right-hand drive vehicle, it was intended for a left-hand drive. I have seen several new options online; however, upon closer examination, they all seem to be designed for left-hand drive vehicles. I require one of these (not the one I photographed, and disregard the red ring)...

I sold mine on eBay for £115 and acquired a Topdon ArtDiag900, which is vastly superior in all aspects.
