  1. I am unable to recall. Does the aperture in the wooden panel vary between a manual gearbox vehicle and an automated gearbox car?
  2. May I inquire as to the reason for this, if you don't mind my asking?
  3. My GLC was parked overnight on my driveway after functioning normally during the day. The next morning, there were many warnings appearing about ABS, Cruise control, Limiter, and an engine warning light (Yellow). I made a reservation at my nearby independent garage, where they determined that the problem was caused by rodent-inflicted damage to the ABS sensor on the front left wheel. It is believed that a fox or a squirrel has gnawed on the cable, resulting in a 100mm part being removed. Has anybody else experienced this phenomenon, and if so, what measures might be taken to avoid its recurrence?
  4. The upper areas you have specified would greatly benefit from a thorough polishing. There are several kits available on the market, with the 3M kit being my favourite option. However, if you dedicate sufficient time to the task, utilising fine grit sandpaper with water as a lubricant might provide satisfactory outcomes. It is crucial to seal the lens after cleaning to prevent the UV from causing the lens to get cloudy again. The majority of kits are equipped with a lens sealant.
  5. I don't know the answer, however based on my observation, every manual conversion on earlier Mercedes vehicles often use the 6-speed gearbox from a 203 model. I am uncertain if the reason for such is due to the availability or the simplicity of the converting process.
  6. It is not a difficult task to make changes. There are many high-quality films accessible for reference, and affordable aluminium shafts may be found on eBay.
  7. The S211 is the most aesthetically pleasing station waggon that Mercedes has ever manufactured. It just exists...
  8. The automobile is identical, although it was just a few months ago.
  9. I have previously seen this item on this platform as well as on eBay, maybe from the same vendor. I am curious about the exact amount for which it did not sell.
  10. Does it occur continuously or sporadically? Both of my E-class vehicles had a similar sound, originating from the region behind the driver's door. Despite having different engines, the sound was consistent across the two vehicles and only occurred sporadically. However, the sound was not as loud, until it was magnified by the phone. I attributed it to DPF-related issues and did not encounter any difficulties. I am also curious to learn what it is, however.
  11. The purpose of the remarks is to provide guidance or recommendations. It is possible that the fluid level is incorrect. Regardless of the issue, the dealer should evaluate the situation.
  12. Therefore, what is the rationale for placing confidence in them once again and opting to bring a vehicle of such advanced age to the authorised dealership?

  16. Impressive, a substantial amount of power for the price. πŸ™‚πŸ‘
  17. Regrettably, without more detailed information, it is challenging to provide a helpful recommendation on the precise cause of the engine's failure to start. The presence of another individual who confidently asserts that their speculation is the solution is the least desirable scenario for you. However, for what it's worth, this thread might serve as a valuable "warning example" for anybody considering the proposition of hiring an unqualified individual for a monetary payment.
  18. Without the tune, it will be impossible to accommodate the blower and operate it. What is preventing you from sending the ECU to ESS? Place it inside the box and send it via expedited shipping. The item will return before you finish fastening all the components together. Installing a supercharger will not pose any difficulties for those who possess technical and mechanical aptitude. Most likely a task that can be completed within one or two days. My first consideration would be the level of assistance provided. I have just paid a significant amount of money, around 6-7 thousand pounds plus value-added tax on import. My supplier is located in a different country, namely across the Atlantic Ocean, and there is a time difference of 7 hours between us (referring to the headquarters of ESS). On the contrary, MSL/Weistec is located in Birmingham. Is the cost savings significant compared to the Weistec kit? The decision is yours to make.
  19. Although it sometimes flops forward, my head typically prevents it from becoming a major concern. I seem to be preoccupied with the demands of daily existence, as well as maintaining relationships with my loved ones and social circle. I get pleasure from driving the SL, thus I do not like it to be constantly disassembled. Last year, the sun caused the adhesive on a door card to deteriorate. I still need to address this issue, but I plan to do it during a week when the weather is great and dry, and I have some free time.
  20. Currently, I have not yet found a suitable opportunity to disassemble it. I used a significant force to move it back towards the part that provides support and houses the seat belt, and it is securely fastened. To reach the nut, it is necessary to remove the headrest cover. There is a hole beneath that serves as a fastening point. Evidently, it easily glides off and then reattaches, odd...
  21. I understand your perspective. I plan to disassemble my seat at some time in order to investigate the cause. It is likely that the issue is caused by a loose nut or a little repair. It should take around a morning's worth of effort to disassemble and fix it, which can be done in a matter of seconds. Let's hope for the best.
  22. 2015 Sprinter vehicle with a 2.1 311 cdi engine and 270,000 km. Thank you for responding.
  23. What further desires do you have? The engine in question is equipped with a Euro 5 emission standard and was manufactured in 2015. I have seen the presence of oil on the surface of the injectors and I am seeking guidance or recommendations on how to address this issue.
  24. The Auro 5 engine has a displacement of 2.1 litres and produces 311 horsepower.
