  1. I do not believe it obstructs the roof during closure; the locators are positioned in the seatbelt holders, and the pins are located within the range of motion.
  2. Greetings, everyone. I want to purchase a wind deflector for my 2010 A207 E-Class Cabriolet. I see many possibilities in the aftermarket priced between £150 and £400. Has anybody encountered purchasing the non-Mercedes alternatives? I will not using it often (England lacks sufficient sunshine), so minimising expenditure is preferable; nonetheless, I want to avoid purchasing an inferior product that rattles or does not fit properly. I would appreciate any input before I proceed. Thank you in advance.
  3. When do they arrive at 3mm left - 4mm? The compatibility may vary based on the pads; I have installed Akebono carbon ceramic pads on my C55 AMG, and the front pads provide two options for sensor insertion. One is definitely nearer to the disc than the other. Track or road, I presume.
  4. If the cap is loosened, it may indicate a defective thread on either the tank or the cap, as some aftermarket options do. If it fails to maintain pressure, the liquid will simply boil. The first stage of the cooling fan often fails, and sometimes both stages may fail. This malfunction results in increased system pressure and potential coolant backup. Certain systems may be constrained by silt accumulation, since individuals often neglect coolant replacements, leading to corrosion of the blocks and the deposition of debris at the system's lowest points.
  5. If the Haldex was not engaged, as it often is at low speeds in reverse, there would be no stress on the spline, thus eliminating any cause for slippage and noise. What is the rationale for replacing the Haldex and rear differential a second time if the first attempt did not resolve the issue? Consult with Bell Engineering, who has expertise on the Freelander/Evoque driveline.
  6. A spline connecting the gearbox and PTU may experience wear, resulting in a pounding noise under power, particularly at low speeds. It should also occur in forward gears; nevertheless, it may wear in such a manner that it slides in one direction but not the other.

    Your knowledge is impressive; it would be beneficial to meet you in person.

    Thank you, I am now examining the website.

    190E chassis

    Any guidance or support would be much appreciated. Having never repaired a vehicle before, we feel rather out of our depth. Project involving a father, aged 58, and his son, aged 24.

    The bodywork of the 190e 2.3 16v is scheduled for welding, followed by a complete respray at a later date. We need outer sills, jacking points, and rear arches/quarters. It was proposed that we join the owners club and purchase from Mercedes, since membership may provide a substantial discount. Could experts please provide their counsel?
  11. Do automobile wheels possess sufficient strength?
  12. When the sump oil and TC oil combine, they create a ratio of around 60/40, maybe 70/30. Regarding fresh oil and old oil.
  13. It is believed that the friction materials present in the oil between the clutch plates contribute to the extension of driving power and prevent slippage in the clutches.Perhaps a significant distance measurement, but there is a specific rationale behind it.
  14. What substance do you anticipate them using to flush it? Typically, individuals just remove and replace the oil, along with installing a new filter. While some do torque converter oil changes, not all, including Mercedes-Benz. The price is favourable. 👍
  15. I presume that the first four services shown on the Idrive at BMW will adhere to their prescribed maintenance procedures, but will be designated as "OK" in orange based on the completion of certain dates or mileage. I have come across several reports of individuals who were impacted by the COVID situation, resulting in their vehicles' service history being documented with an orange "OK" mark. Do you recommend abandoning it due to the quality of the maintenance? The individual claimed to possess all the documentation substantiating the maintenance performed from 2020 up to the present.
  16. The automobile has undergone maintenance. Since 2020, I have seen that other garage locations lack access to the BMW service portal. The automobile was last serviced at 53,000 km and its current mileage is 53,800 kilometres. The automobile in question is a 2015 F33 model with a very low mileage of just under 54,000. What caught my attention about this car is its striking tanzanite blue colour and the fact that it comes equipped with authentic M4 forged wheels. It is unsatisfactory that one service is delayed by a month and costs an additional 20,000 dollars for the whole year. Based on my understanding, the automobile often travelled on the freeway that year since its owner, who was a company owner, had difficulties in using the car owing to the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.
  17. Indeed, I first inferred that the services were completed, although with a delay. In the past, I had a 335d LCI and I believed that the recommended service intervals were either every 2 years or around every 18-24k miles, like you said. The automobile I am considering has the listed services on the iDrive system, as seen in the picture.
  18. I am purchasing a 435d F33 vehicle, and the third and fourth maintenance services are indicated as "ok" but are shown in an amber colour. The first two items are green "Ok's". Subsequently, the automobile has been serviced in non-BMW dealerships.
  19. Could you kindly provide the service intervals for a 2015 435d xdrive?
  20. The official dealers are sometimes derogatorily referred to as "stealers". They want her money. Locate an expert.
  21. I do not understand the question. It is possible to verify and modify this using VCDS.
  22. If the battery has been installed since March but has not been used extensively, it is logical to assume that the battery is dead. Starting the engine consumes a significant amount of power, and just starting and running the engine will not replenish the charge that has been consumed. To resolve the issue, it is necessary to connect the device to a charger and ensure that it is completely charged. Additionally, it is advisable to do a parasitic drain test once the battery has been properly charged.
