  1. During a routine inspection before to a lengthy journey, I saw a significant accumulation of oil on the surface of the injectors. Is this a matter of great importance or significance? The Auro 5 engine was manufactured in 2015.
  2. What is the temperature shown by the thermostat when it has reached its maximum operating temperature? The temperature should range from around 88 to 90 degrees Celsius. Are you obtaining the fuel consumption data from the vehicle's onboard computer or from a complete fill-up of the gasoline tank? Additionally, have you reset the fuel consumption reading?
  3. The battery is commendable. Furthermore, it is advisable to refrain from disclosing your postcode on the forum.
  4. The Parktronic System (PTS) is causing significant inconvenience on my W204 Mercedes. The diagnostic report indicates that the issue lies with the white PST module located under the passenger footwell. I have already replaced this module twice, but the problem persists. Therefore, I will need to inspect the wiring harness and sensors to identify any potential faults. The same issue is also present in my W208.
  5. Ensure that the sensor attached to one of the bonnet locks at the front is securely fastened, and if necessary, replace it.
  6. Indeed, it is necessary to connect the appropriate wire to the corresponding side of the connector. Examining the other injectors may provide insight into if the wire has already severed from the socket.
  7. Yes, you will be able to get replacement terminals and plug connections directly from Mercedes. The cost will not be high. However, I do not own any numerical data on it.
  8. Although it may not be the cause, this is a rather simple do-it-yourself task. Typically, it is located beneath a metal cover positioned behind the LH wheelarch liner. In the case of a left-hand drive automobile, it may be on the RH side. The device lacks a fuse, and disconnecting the battery will not resolve the issue, since it operates on its own internal batteries, which are often the source of the problem at this stage of its lifespan. Although it is uncertain if this is the cause of the problem, I am hopeful that it is, since it can be easily resolved. Best wishes for success 👍
  9. Have you received a quotation from WBAC or Motorway / Car Wow? The estimated scrap value ranges from around £200 to £250, as I would anticipate. What are the current prices of items being sold on eBay? What is the optimal price that AT is offering for it? Do you have a preference for interacting with the broader public, including those who may be interested in purchasing this automobile at its current price point, considering that it is not intended as a first car for a son or daughter? Additionally, how urgently do you need to replace your current car? Are there any specific life circumstances or compelling reasons that need a prompt change? While it undoubtedly has its merits in terms of sound quality and performance, this vehicle does have some drawbacks. It tends to use a quite large amount of fuel, and the tax expenses associated with it are not the most affordable. Additionally, it is starting to show signs of ageing, which may limit the level of local interest if you decide to sell it independently.
  10. I am always sceptical when many sensors simultaneously indicate issues. Conduct a test to see whether there is any element, such as a connection, that might potentially result in several failures occurring at the same time.
  11. Based on my inference, it seems that it requires recharging with petrol.
  12. It seems that you have a non-functioning cell. You may remove the caps from the top to see whether there has been any water loss. If you own distilled water, you have the option to include it. Once the water level is appropriate, reseal the cap and transport the battery to the closest automotive shop for recycling and purchase a replacement.
  13. Engage manual mode for the gearbox and set it to a gear one level lower than the usual gear used during highway travel.
  14. Take a torch and inspect the edges of the gasoline filter. You should be able to see the upper part of the intake manifold. Is there any coolant present in that area?
  15. I just connect the phone to either the USB port located in the glove box or the one at the rear of the headunit, or alternatively, one of the USB ports in the boot.
  16. Stubby USB adapters are available for purchase. I own one, but, I am unable to recall its origin. Perform a search on the Amazon platform. I have just discovered that the manufacturer of the product is BELKIN.
  17. Now I see. That is the correct technique for activating the electronic handbrake and it is unrelated to the sensotronic braking system, which is not present in your automobile. In response to your original inquiry, the function of the mechanism is to fully retract the handbrake, allowing for the replacement of the rear brake pads. Subsequently, when the system is activated once more, it retracts the motor to accommodate the increased thickness of the new pads. The SBC is a distinct entity that is never associated with the C class. The brochure you received with your pads included incorrect information. Hopefully, this information may assist you with your first inquiry.
  18. Can I ask what the procedure you used to deactivate SBC?
  19. I am certain that SBC was not accessible on the C class. Are you certain that the sound you are hearing is not coming from the electric handbrake?
  20. Did you have the Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) system installed on a 2017 C class vehicle?
  21. I own a guarantee for my MB. I wouldn't classify them as a frivolous expenditure. Under warranty, I had to repair the two front shocks, the Pawel capacitor, the radar sensor, and the ESP control unit. Without a doubt, I can confidently state that I have received excellent value for the money I have spent. The main difference between the MB Warranty and Motoreasy is that with the MB Warranty, you would need to first pay for any repairs and then seek reimbursement, while the MB Warranty immediately covers the cost of repairs via the dealership.
  22. To the best of my knowledge, when you get an authentic card, it includes Live Traffic as a feature.
