Captiva

The EPC provides component numbers for the seal alone, the seal plus bearings, and a fully assembled hub. Therefore, it may be advantageous for me to get just the seal from MB. Since the bearings are in good condition, it seems unnecessary to remove and replace them without a valid reason.

The SLK is the only model that has a striking resemblance. It employs a rear-wheel drive system and relies only on a set of taper roller bearings. Indeed, we will proceed with acquiring new bearings and sealing it accordingly.

The ABS/ESP system of the 2007 SLK280, belonging to the user's partner, has unexpectedly encountered a disabled state. Upon connecting my iCarSoft reader, it promptly indicated that the issue was with the front right sensor and advised me to clean the ring. Upon removing the hub, I anticipated seeing a conventional castellated ABS ring. However, to my surprise, there was none. Instead, I saw what seems to be the rear side of the inner wheel bearing. After removing the dirt, I reassembled everything, but the issue persisted. Based on the presence of a bearing and a seal, it may be inferred that ETC employs either one or both of these components to detect the rotation of the wheel. Utilised the iCarSoft diagnostic tool to display the wheel speeds, revealing that all four wheels consistently exhibited identical speeds, with the exception of the front right wheel, which sometimes saw temporary decreases in speed. In my previous encounters with automobiles facing ABS issues, a malfunctioning sensor would result in the absence of speed readings from one wheel, while a broken reluctor ring would cause a discrepancy in speed compared to the other wheels. However, in this particular case, none of these scenarios is occurring. Suspecting an electrical issue, I have struggled with the inner wheelarch liner to access the connection. Despite applying contact cleaner to the contacts, even though they seem flawless, the problem persists. This is a video capture of the front right wheel speed sensor shown on the iCarSoft device. The inquiry pertains to whether a replacement sensor or a seal and wheel bearing are necessary. I am also interested in the mechanism used by the sensor to detect rotational movement.

The absence of an Annual General Meeting (AGM) is not a prevalent industry norm.

He is implying that you need an AGM battery, which has become prevalent due to its use in automobiles equipped with stop/start technology. Prior to the introduction of stop/start technology, these devices were used on some models, particularly where the battery is located in the passenger compartment or trunk due to their enhanced safety in the case of a collision. It is essential to ensure that you install the battery that is compatible with the car's specifications, whether it is an AGM battery or a conventional lead acid battery. This is because the charging characteristics and maximum voltage somewhat vary between the two types. Using an incorrect battery can result in suboptimal performance and may lead to the need for early replacement. Consider visiting your local authorised dealer's parts counter or specific Mercedes-Benz dealerships such as Newcastle, Edinburgh, and a few others mentioned on eBay. They often provide quite reasonable pricing for batteries, ensuring that you get the correct component. If you inquire, they will provide you with information on whether it should be AGM or not, as well as the capacity. I have observed that when purchasing from the parts counter in person, they often provide the service of installing the item on your vehicle upon collection. This convenience may justify paying a somewhat higher price to ensure proper installation.

It will be a malfunction inside the TFL system. That is certainly not compliant with the Euro 6 emissions standard.

In terms of mechanical condition, it is likely to be in better shape than a vehicle of the same age that has only been driven 1000 miles a year for weekly trips to Tesco or the National Trust vehicle park. There are no occurrences of cold start cycles or moisture in the exhaust.

However, they may be readily restored to a clear state by polishing.Removing the manufacturer UV protection will accelerate the yellowing process of the item. To ensure long-lasting durability, it is essential to apply a coat of clear UV resistant lacquer over the polished surface. If you neglect to do so, you will need to regularly polish them every few months after the first occasion.

Glass headlights are prohibited in the UK for any automobile manufactured and sold after about 1995.I am unable to recall the precise date... but, it occurred about within that time.

I have a preference for authentic Mercedes-Benz parts when it comes to most engine and gearbox components. The chassis components consist of Lemforder and Brembo parts for the brakes, while Febi parts are used for occasional filters and other miscellaneous items. These components have been reliable without any issues. My mechanic utilises some Febi components. He used to work as a diagnostic trainer for Mercedes.

I installed authentic MB parts, although I would have chosen Febi if they had not been accessible. I purchased the housing, which includes the temperature sensor and gasket.

Have you operated any of the models?

The automobiles are rather distinct from one other, in my opinion. There is no definitive answer as to which is superior, the engine or the automobile. The one that you like the most is considered the finest, at least for your own preference. Both have distinct and contrasting vibes. I have a strong affinity for the M156 engine's auditory and tactile characteristics.....however, would I make a purchase of such a vehicle? Unlikely....the strong sensation of torque provided by the 4.0TT (or even the 157, which was never installed in a C) is more aligned with my engine preferences. Although I like the 204 C63, it is undeniably outdated in terms of technology, particularly the vehicle itself rather than the engine. The 204 model was introduced in 2007, which means it is already 17 years old. Additionally, it has an older style inside. Are you someone who prefers this classic interior design (which I myself enjoy), or do you prefer the current gadgets and aesthetics of the 205 model?As previously said, there is no definitive response that can be classified as correct or wrong.

After around 6 months, the gasoline is beginning to deteriorate. In 18 months, it will emit a foul odour.

I believed it was intended for your collection of gold sovereigns.

There is no phone in mine, but there is one in the SLK. However, there are no buttons in the SLK.

In my possession, I have coin holders.

Later, I will examine my SL500 to see what I can deduce.

Personally, I shall allocate my efforts only to those whom I deem worthwhile. It seems like you are expressing the same sentiment.

To be honest, the combination of a sophisticated Euro 6 diesel engine with a Mercedes hybrid system seems like a very problematic and worrisome scenario in the long run. If I recall well, is there also a gasoline-powered variant available? That is precisely what I would be seeking, from a personal standpoint.

Comandonline is very proficient in their field. Audio technicians as well!

Do you have any recommendations for talented independent individuals to join our group?

In which district of London are you located? I am inquiring whether anybody can recommend a reliable independent technician that is very knowledgeable in STAR, Xentry, and other related systems. Dear Richard, Do you have any opinions or ideas once we are aware of the specific region or location?

The extent of the damage will be significant. It is advisable to abandon it and get an alternative.
