I neglected to mention that both electronic control units (ECUs) are of the DDE 5 type.

The chassis of my BMW 320d had a piston failure, resulting in the need to replace the engine, EWS unit, etc. I have now installed components from a 330d, and the vehicle is operational and drivable, with the exception of one problem. The oil pressure indicator remains on when starting the engine, despite doing a pressure test that confirms it falls within acceptable limits. I traced the wire on my vehicle from the dashboard to the electronic control unit (ECU) on the body side, and from the sensor to the ECU on the engine plug. Everything seemed to be in good condition with no electrical shorts. I also conducted independent tests by running my own wires, and they functioned well. Therefore, I proceeded to reattach the original wires by soldering them back together. The lights are still illuminated, and I am perplexed. The switch is functioning well. I have tested two switches and all of them activated when the engine was started. However, the light continues to stay on. I have encountered many CAN bus issues that I have identified using INPA. However, I have reached the limits of my own capabilities and believe it is now necessary to seek assistance from a professional. Kindly provide photographs taken at the Indiana State Penitentiary.

It is probable that the problem has been caused by the software downgrade. I have had several instances of such occurrences involving subpar performance and abysmal fuel efficiency after the software downgrade. Upon taking my vehicle in for the airbag recall, I explicitly informed the customer care representative and then sent them an email to clarify my preference of not making any changes to the software. They verified that this was OK. Upon delivering the automobile, I took the initiative to verify once again that no software modifications would be made. Surprisingly, they had no documentation of my previous refusal, but assured me that it was OK to decline the software upgrade. I ensured that they explicitly documented on the service sheet that no modifications to the programme were to be done. In addition, I covered the OBD port with adhesive tape and attached a written message instructing others not to interact with it. I am quite certain that they made no alterations. Only the airbag recall was performed. At a temperature of 196K, it is quite likely that the diesel particulate filter (DPF) is significantly filled and may need removal and cleaning. Over time, DPFs tend to get obstructed. My vehicle is a C250 with the same engine. Typically, I can go around 450 miles on a full tank of petrol. However, I must admit that I like to drive with enthusiasm rather than focusing on fuel efficiency. If the gearbox is retaining the gears for an extended period of time after the software modification, doing a gearbox reset might be beneficial and straightforward to execute. May or may not have an impact. To reset the gearbox of a W204 vehicle, search for instructions on Google. Wishing you success and favourable outcomes.

Admirable, devoid of envy as well 😬

If you possess proficiency in using a multimeter, the task at hand involves inspecting each individual fuse. I recommend perusing the topic, as there are abundant threads available here and on YouTube that provide guidance on how to do this. An alternative, more expedient method would be to bring the automobile to a nearby independent Mercedes-Benz specialist for a STAR diagnostic. If you are certain that the issue lies with the battery, proceed with replacing it. However, it is advisable to first examine the output from the alternator. Ensure that it registers a voltage of 14 volts or more when the engine is running. The persistent issue of battery drainage in an MB is rather vexing.

Do you not have a battery drain issue? If you want to replace the battery and the new one loses power, it is necessary to have the automobile inspected more thoroughly.

I used this product on my kid, Mini, throughout the previous year. Was quite effective. The Holts HREP0031A Headlight Restoration Kit effectively rejuvenates cloudy, yellowing, and oxidised headlamps, restoring them to a pristine, like-new condition. This kit is user-friendly and simple to use. Our services include repairing, restoring, and protecting drill attachments. The provided link is https://amzn.eu/d/gELh96c.

It occurs. It would be beneficial to have some photographs.

Thank you for the guidance. I will personally do the task. I am aware of my concern on the matter.

Additionally, is it advisable to bring a convertible vehicle with a soft top to a car wash when there are attendants present? Not a drive-through establishment. I do not own a jet washer myself.

Do you continuously operate the air conditioning system? Is the air conditioning functional? Is there any moisture present on the front carpets or in the wheel well of the boot? Does the automobile only do short trips, so preventing the air conditioning system from adequately removing moisture? Apply gummi care to all the door and trunk seals. Inspect all the drainage openings on the front windscreen. Has the pollen filter been changed within the last several years? Verify that there is no water flowing down the windscreen scuttle and into the area where the pollen filter connects with the bulkhead in the engine bay.
