Captiva

Congratulations on your recent acquisition of an automobile. Additionally, I would like to mention...

Have a pleasant time and ensure your safety 👍🏻

Indeed, we do. 👍

Adore it 😄

The amber lenses are effective in heavy rain and are worth experimenting with. However, I have not tested them against strong lighting yet.

Blue efficiency refers to the use of AdBlue, a liquid solution used in some vehicles to reduce harmful emissions.

Naturally, I intended to refer to Adblue, not aon.

However, the modern vehicle has a more powerful engine. There is a significant amount of discussion regarding Aon on this platform. Inquire Mercland on their expertise.

It seems that you, like many others, have encountered a situation where there is a discrepancy between the selling dealer and the warranties provided by Mercedes-Benz, namely the New Car Warranty and the MB Approved Used Warranty. The purchase of a car from Stratstone Bradford is distinct from the MB warranty. The MB warranty does not extend to defects that should have been identified and resolved by the selling dealer prior to delivering the vehicle to you. The selling dealer may request that you bring the automobile to a nearby dealer, who will be compensated by the selling dealer for repairing the defects that should have been addressed before the sale but were not. However, in such cases, it is important to note that this does not qualify as a warranty repair under the MB guarantee. It is only the merchant doing their duty as required by the Consumer Protection Act. Regarding your situation, it is important to note that both the broken door handle and the oil warning light were indeed present at the time of purchase. Consequently, both problems fall within the responsibility of the selling dealer and are not covered by the MB guarantee. The primary concern is that the local dealer considers the selling dealer as their customer, not you. Consequently, the local dealer will only act upon the instructions of the selling dealer, as they are the ones responsible for payment. They will not bear any additional expenses resulting from your unsatisfactory purchasing experience with the selling dealer, such as lost work days or transportation costs. Regrettably, a prevalent grievance on the forum is the frequent occurrence of inadequately prepared vehicles that were expected to undergo a comprehensive inspection as part of the 'Mercedes-Benz Approved Used' programme. It can be inferred that the selling dealer finds it more cost-effective to wait for the customer to complain and then pay for the repairs, rather than conducting pre-sale inspections as they should. This is evident from their failure to order the spare key in advance, which should have been done before the car was even put up for sale. At this juncture, considering that you have had the automobile for a duration of 6 months, I suggest persisting in rectifying the flaws. You may consider composing a letter sent to the dealer main, outlining the expenses you have accrued in order to fix defects that should have been identified prior to the delivery of the product. Subsequently, you may inquire if they are amenable to providing any kind of compensation. If they are willing to negotiate, then offering a complimentary MB Service Plan or extending the MB warranty for an extra year (year 4) might be seen as a favourable outcome. Alternatively, you may choose to lodge a complaint with MB UK, specifically addressing the CEO at the Milton Keynes headquarters. Another option is to file a complaint with the Ombudsman. However, if the only remaining problem is the engine oil warning light, I would recommend just having it repaired and moving on from this unpleasant incident.

Typical display of England's performance.

What was your fuel efficiency prior to the update? Was the prior fuel efficiency assessed using the method of filling the tank to its maximum capacity and comparing it to the amount of fuel consumed? Additionally, how much farther does your dashboard display indicate compared to this measurement?

Are you suggesting that the brim to brim method and the car's computer are both measuring MPG in the same manner? The mine is located far away.

Is the fuel consumption higher according to the display or when measured from a full tank to a full tank? Has the upgrade resolved the issue with the reading accuracy? During my recent journey to the Lake District, the onboard display indicated an average fuel efficiency of 59 miles per gallon for a distance of around 200 miles. However, upon returning home, I filled the tank to its maximum capacity and calculated the real fuel efficiency to be around 45 miles per gallon, which significantly deviates from the shown value. The model of the car is B200 and it was manufactured in 2012.

As said before, remove the unlocked unit first. The cost for installing an emulator on an unlocked automobile is around £490. However, if the column has to be removed, the rod drilled, and reinstalled, the price will be somewhat higher, amounting to a few hundred pounds extra.

My CLK had many instances of spring breakage prior to installing Eibach springs. Have had no issues after then.

Connect a multimeter to the battery and measure the voltage.

The simple fact of the matter is there's no consistency with pattern parts ,I put 2 on front of 1 of my customers mb only last wk ,o/s door -wing gap good but wing- bonnet poor ,the n/s virtually fell on without a problem ,truth be told I'd avoid them if I could find genuine at a reasonable price on my own car but what you pay for is what u get 9 times out of 10 someone that knows what they are doing can fettle them to fit ,if they are prepared properly they won't rust any quicker than genuine ,I put a non gen on my dads 124 in 2005 and it's still not showing rust unlike the rest if his car lol but I put a whole bottle of stonechip in the inside of it before painting and after paint it dripped waxoyl for a month I put so much on ,they are far thinner gauge of metal too this will be obvious if you pick up your cars original wing in 1 hand and pattern wing in other ,also many insurance company's insist on repairers using pattern parts on cars over 3 years old be it mercedes ,BMW,Audi they DNt care and repairers have no choice but to spend extra time making these panels look and last aswell as a genuine 1

Equally probable is the presence of a breach in the air supply. Inspect the connections located under the seats. The pump immediately shuts off if it is unable to sustain air pressure. The most straightforward method is to use the STAR system to assess the seat functions. This system has the capability to accurately identify any leaks, including those originating from the air reservoir located in the rear.

That aligns with my first perception. I completed the task of changing my in the garden within a time frame of around 20 minutes. In addition, allow some time for the engine to operate and eliminate any air present in the system. However, I am unaware of the precise location of the thermostat in the automobile belonging to the original poster. Is it necessary to remove the engine?

What is the current level of oil?

The rear wheels have a noticeable incline, yet they are quite attractive in the Selenite colour.

The item is located in the footwell on the side of the vehicle where the passenger sits. Carpet removal is necessary but feasible.

If it comes back, use silicon lubricant just to that specific area. If there is silence, then it is a bingo! If the issue persists, choose a different connection point and continue this process until you pinpoint the source of the problem.

I express my gratitude to both of you.😁

While I am capable of rendering them unconscious, I prefer to use a press to insert the outer races, since it reduces the likelihood of them being inserted unevenly and causing obstruction, given that I possess the necessary equipment. I own many types of grease, including green, blue, brown, black, and red. I applied lubrication to the bearings after removing the hub to clean the ring, so there is no issue in that regard. I will purchase a seal from MB. Based on previous encounters, it seems unlikely that they will have one available at the moment.
