I really like the way they look and feel compared to the W205, so it's a shame I have to read up on them. Thank you for your response. Getting a late 2014 or 2015 version won't solve that problem, in my opinion; the information is often contradictory because MB isn't forthcoming about whether or not they changed them later on.

Good day, The operational expenses, petrol, taxes, and mileages I was doing just weren't feasible at the time, and I still occasionally regret selling my previous W203 C class petrol automatic, but I inherited it from my dad. I am currently hunting for a 2.1 C220 CDI BlueEfficiency AMG Sport Edition 125 G-Tronic+ Euro 5 (s/s) 2dr that I hope to purchase with approximately 100,000 miles on the odometer, a partial history of Mercedes-Benz service, and that was recently serviced at the Mercedes-Benz specialist. Any specific purchasing advice would be greatly appreciated. Even though I'm usually comfortable checking over cars because I do a lot of maintenance on my own, the sub frame problem is really getting under my skin. It seems to rust internally, which isn't always obvious from the bottom, according to my research. I feel like I'm being overly concerned, but there's no guarantee that MB will cover the cost of the expensive repair, and the MOT history doesn't indicate any rust or corroded rear coil springs or suspension parts. Truthfully, my mom's A class hasn't been very successful, and I blame the fact that we don't often buy from main dealers but rather from local specialists. I would be very appreciative of any additional guidance on what to prioritise when purchasing the vehicle. I am very grateful.

You should be able to spot a piece of rubber pipe sticking out of the door hinges if you look at them from the front.

Much obliged for the assistance.

Indeed, that was the case! By purposefully sweeping my foot below as I walked by, I was able to test your assumption, and the timing and details were spot on.

My CX-90 PHEV has this strange issue where, around 30% of the time, it opens on its own whenever I pass the trunk while holding my keys in my pocket. Since none of the other buttons have ever pressed, I initially assumed it was a problem with my keys accidentally striking anything in my pocket and setting off the button. The next thing I knew, I was checking every pocket to make sure nothing could activate the trap, except for my keys. Walking horizontally past the trunk, either from left to right or right to left, is the only way for it to happen. Coming up behind the trunk does not cause it to happen. Is this something that other people have experienced? Can you tell me if you fixed it?

I desire the courage to undertake more modifications on my vehicle; but, my local mechanic is exceptionally skilled and affordable, which dissuades me from doing so.

If it was correctly connected to the CTEK and charging, I would guess a drain exists someplace, or perhaps an inside light was inadvertently left on. I would examine the radar detector initially. If you drive it quite regularly, I would not recommend charging it constantly. It will likely reduce the battery's lifespan, but after four years, it should remain functional. Attempt to activate the desulphation mode on the CTEK, if available.

Verify that there is a specific wire harness with a pin designated for activating towing mode capabilities. Consult with the installer prior to making a purchase. I possess a Brink plugin using this wiring, and it functions flawlessly.

It seems remarkable; the combination of chocolate and schnitzel has convinced me! Thank you for sharing.

I am curious if it is feasible to revert to a previous firmware/software version; it may be prudent to enquire if someone is still using the old version and if they might submit a file to a sharing site for your download. Indeed, there is no assurance that the updater software will let an earlier version to supersede a newer one; but, it is worth trying. I will convey your concerns to the local dealer or directly to UK headquarters; upon notification, they may rectify this problem in the next update.

I do not possess a Sorento, nor do I have any current issues with my Soul EV; however, on a previous vehicle (not a KIA), adjusting the volume during announcements permanently altered the volume level. Additionally, there may be a speed-based sound compensation feature; in my Soul, it is located in the "Sounds" or "Audio" menu. I cannot recall the exact designation, but it is not among the media player volume options, rather it is found under "System". It cannot be adjusted; it is only either on or off, and seems to have little impact on the Soul EV. Does it reduce the audio volume while navigation, and if not, did it previously do so? If the navigation system is malfunctioning, temporarily unplugging the 12v battery may reset it. Merely some rambling thoughts before to retiring for the night.

Consider using the services of either Big Red or Brake Engineering.

Occasionally, I will accelerate the automobile to its maximum engine speed, but I have not familiarised myself with the optimal moments to change gears. During my time as a drag racer, I learnt that shifting gears at 7500 rpm, solely based on the engine's power output, was not always the optimal choice. To get such information, I would examine the specifications and curves of the cam. I have not previously engaged in such activity with this particular vehicle. In my opinion, it would be more advantageous to shift the vehicle at a point below the redline, when it is still generating power across the range, rather than waiting for it to nearly level out or reach the redline.

The shock experienced while decelerating is likely caused by the abrupt transition from second to first gear when the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Unfortunately, all of them engage in this behaviour. The only solution is to rebuild the gearbox mechatronic. The actual reason of the issue is still unknown, however, there are many effective solutions available. These include a software update, replacing the fluid and filter, installing new solenoids, using the updated separator plate, and installing new dampers.
