To resolve the issue, I recommend taking your vehicle to a reputable shop for a thorough inspection. They will be able to accurately diagnose any potential problems. Please provide an update on the diagnosis.

Unfortunately, I am not located in Cornwall. However, anybody who has a Snap-on diagnostics kit may do the task, which typically takes about 20 minutes.

If you were in close proximity to me, you could visit and I would make adjustments to accommodate your preferences for a beverage, in a humorous manner.

I completely understand. Over the years, I have accumulated a vast collection of specialised tools, amounting to thousands of pounds. However, I have reached a stage in life where I am frustrated with owning items that I only use once or twice, especially considering the excessive prices I have paid in the past. I am not suggesting that purchasing the designated tool for a specific job is incorrect, but rather that there are often more cost-effective alternatives available. It is likely that many individuals on this platform only work on a limited number of these engines, and therefore prioritise finding the most economical solutions.

I have examined the tool and concluded that I have spent more than £300 on high-quality cam locks for the timing chain side. It is crucial for this component to be of the highest standard. The springs, on the other hand, do not have any adjustable features. The key is to properly position them on the upright followers. I could not justify spending such a large sum of money on something that can be accomplished inexpensively. Even replacing the springs can be reset by catching the torx bolt while the spring fingers are against the camshaft, as long as one is cautious about the threads. In the future, I may create a tool using an old pair of molgrips and a welder, as it is a relatively simple task. It is worth noting that I have likely completed this procedure on over 1000 engines in the same manner. It takes me approximately 10 minutes to disassemble and 20 minutes to reassemble the engine, without the use of that tool.

Here is how to properly balance the first upright follower immediately before installing the drop camshaft. Additionally, be sure to use wellseal to seal the oil channels on the posts, especially the first post where the vanos draws its oil from.

Prior to removing the 8mm bolts for the top thick blocks and the single long 8mm bolts for the posts, it is important to use a screwdriver with a ground slot to push the spring fingers inward and to one side of the uprights. Allow the spring fingers to rest against the camshaft. When rebuilding, place the camshaft on the head and tighten the rear 8mm bolts in the opposite direction. Additionally, the first upright should be positioned on its arm before placing the camshaft back on. Reverse the process used to remove the spring fingers from the upright followers.

Indeed, it is widely believed that the battery, and maybe the battery cables, are the primary suspects in this case. After properly charging the device and having someone read and reset the problem messages, it is necessary to address additional concerns such as controllers and wiring. To do this, it is necessary to engage the services of an automotive electrician or consult with a specialised Mercedes-Benz technician in your area. Contemporary sensors are exceptional. They provide various misleading error messages, some of which may even be accurate. Is this automobile often used, similar to a backdrop colour? How often do you drive, a few times each week or about 5,000 miles per year? Alternatively, similar to many others, is it possible that it is a vehicle that has been kept in a garage and has not been used over the winter?

I fail to comprehend the causal relationship between disconnecting the Electronic Control Unit (EKP) and the perpetual operation of the pump. If the output (small plug) is removed, the pump becomes completely unplugged. If the large plug for the input is unplugged, then no power can be supplied to the low pressure pump.

What is your location? It's possible that someone nearby has expertise in the area you need help with and may be willing to assist you in exchange for a small reward. If you are in close proximity to me, you are cordially invited to bring your ista for a proper diagnostic and repair, rather than attempting to fix it by randomly replacing components.

In order to detect any faults, it is necessary to scan the device using a functional tool. This is important since the warning light or the half engine power light may have been activated. Which specific model of Foxwell diagnostic tool have you bought, since Foxwell products are generally of good quality?

If your car is functioning correctly, there is no need to drive at 2509 rpm on motorways in order to clean it. The cleaning process occurs automatically without your awareness, as long as the car reaches its optimal temperature, has sufficient fuel, and is driven for at least 20 minutes. I observed this phenomenon in my B200 using the ICarsoft device, and was amazed by how rapidly it occurred during regular driving.

Apologies, it seems to be a suitable profanity 🙂

If your vehicle is equipped with horse shoe style handbrake shoes, the adjustment may be found at the top. (slightly upper left) The adjuster has a left-hand thread and may need some mental effort to fully comprehend its functioning. I had to touch down the adjusters on mine, namely at the bottom of the adjuster, in order to turn them off. Avoid overexertion, since it may result in excessive tension and jamming of the drum.

Just to inform you, the Maypole that was discussed clearly has the words "Electronic Smart charger" on it.

Are you fatigued by marijuana?

The poor quality of roads in this nation, along with the use of low-quality tyres and rigid suspension, contribute to the issue. Please provide a detailed explanation of your concern.

It is advisable to exclude the area from your remembrance, since it is not clear or specific.

What is the age of this vehicle? If the item is relatively new, it may be worthwhile to hire a reputable independent technician or even a professional from the manufacturer to connect it.

Additionally, please include the year model of your vehicle since there are differences across years.
