  1. Brushed aluminium is aesthetically pleasing and conceals dust well. Piano black is inferior to any kind of wood.
  2. Uncertain, but it must be deactivated in some manner.
  3. I had a same situation with a BMW 1.8i. If I persisted for half an hour, it would likely succeed.
  4. I would be quite pleased to get two gearbox oil changes in a little period. You now own a whole new gearbox. I question if the cost of oil and filters amounts to Β£50; the Β£800 charge mostly reflects labour and profit.
  5. Unbelievable. The incident occurred between roundabouts on a dual carriageway, prompting me to immediately consider the worst-case scenario. Greetings, everyone! The mind is somewhat more at peace now.
  6. It is unclear if this is a serious statement or not. If you are, I will evaluate this tomorrow!
  7. Greetings to everyone. I just acquired a delightful W212 E350, however I have seen a somewhat bothersome little problem. When travelling at regular speeds, everything functions well; but, at speeds below 10 mph, it attempts to engage the park mode. I cannot audibly detect its vigorous engagement, however it appears on the clock; see to the attached picture. Based on my study, it seems that the issue may be related to the electronic ignition switch (EIS). I am seeking your confirmation on this matter. The photograph below depicts the automobile at rest. All comments is welcome. Thank you very much
  8. Ouch! Could you provide the VIN for verification purposes?
  9. You may need to eliminate a few items initially or locate a youngster to accommodate it. πŸ˜‰
  10. Thank you for your assistance. Could you please indicate the location of the pressure sensor on this model so that I may begin my inspection? Thank you one again.
  11. Greetings, everyone. I saw this error while driving the other day; I would appreciate your guidance on its cause and resolution. The error number was P2453, indicating that the DPF pressure sensor A is out of range. I want to resolve this matter before any other issues occur. Thank you in advance.
  12. It definitely requires a decent italian tune up every week. Consider incorporating Diptane into the diesel fuel.
  13. I doubt the continued availability of such components from MB. Not all vendors provide discounts to club members, but you may be fortunate. We get a discount ranging from 5 to 20% at our local MB, mostly due to engaging in conversation with the parts personnel and endearing them with my 18-month-old grandson, who is an avid vehicle enthusiast. I have seen several online offers for replacement metal for these vintage vehicles, therefore I should start a search on Google. Successful hunting
  14. The light will extinguish with the replacement of the sensor and the clearing of the codes. Software may also be required. Utilise only an authentic (latest number) NOX sensor.
  15. Why dismiss it only due to a sensor malfunction? It is readily rectified. Numerous sensors are prone to malfunction at any moment, and often do so.
  16. The outcome will depend on the fitter's expertise, not the manufacturer's proficiency.
  17. If your tires have directional tread, ensure to revert them after the test. πŸ‘
  18. They have a lifespan of around 10 years; hence, a 2015 vehicle will evidently need replacements at this time. Testing them is not feasible; a code reader only provides a static voltage, which does not reflect battery life. Exchange your front wheels and observe whether the issue transfers to the front right. Verify and adjust tire pressure, then reset the TPMS monitor. Drive for several miles and assess the outcome.
  19. The intercooler pipe is likely fractured in the top section, which is not visible; if this is the case, you may be experiencing a loss of power due to a boost leak.
  20. Indeed. Are you enquiring whether there is a certain plug on the block? I would presume that it is not the case and would choose for the lower coolant pipe, as you said.
  21. If it resembles the E350 OM642, it is located in the lower section of the radiator. Twist and partly extract to facilitate the drainage of coolant via the stopper.
  22. It's unfortunate in a sense that it isn't financed, as that would provide you with some extra leverage. It is to be hoped that MB will act with integrity. πŸ‘
  23. The investigative charge can be limited by you, and in this case, I would have preferred a conclusive opinion from MB rather than your independent source, who cannot accurately predict what the outcome with MB might have been. If that headlamp shows no signs of damage, it indicates a clear manufacturing defect. Is the vehicle under a lease or financing arrangement?
