  1. Greetings, gentlemen. I am experiencing a failure to start with my 1998 SL500, which has 65,000 miles on it. I would appreciate any insights or suggestions you may have on this issue. First, let's provide some contextual information on the issue. The engine is functioning well, as shown by the ignition system producing a strong spark, the fuel pressure measuring at 55psi, and the compression levels of all cylinders averaging at 185psi. The IRRC is functioning well and DAS2b is shown as being in a start-enabled state on STAR. The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is indicating that it is functioning properly and there are no error codes detected. The automobile is equipped with recently installed components including a new crank position sensor, cam sensor, fuel pump relay, spark plugs, fuel injectors, fuel pump, and filter. All components are either genuine Mercedes Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts or Bosch parts. Thorough inspection of the coil packs on my 2004 M112 350sl revealed no problems. Since the automobile did not come equipped with an Aux air pump from the manufacturer, I can safely rule it out as a potential cause. I have conducted an examination to identify any potential hoover leaks, and I can confirm that none are currently detected. The car's backfiring has caused significant damage to the original intake manifold, resulting in its physical explosion due to the ignition of unburnt gasoline inside it. After removing the manifold, I can easily see the presence of a spark while revving the engine and examining the intake port. The cam timing has been verified and found to be precisely set at 40 degrees, in accordance with the specified specifications, while using the locking tool. The engine has remained intact till I inspected the timing in order to rule out any inept craftsmanship. The timing chain seems to be in pristine condition and is properly tensioned. The crank sensor trigger ring seems to be in excellent condition based on my observation. I am having difficulty understanding how to visually see a discernible spark via the intake valves while the crank is in motion. How can the timing be so inaccurate? Is it probable that the problem is related to the ECU? Does anybody have any suggestions for doing ECU testing? Sorry for the long message, but I am having difficulty with this issue. Greetings
  2. If you want to determine the optimal shift locations with precision, the most straightforward approach would be activating Dynamic Mode in your vehicle, selecting the Automatic gearbox setting, accelerating vigorously, and observing the computer-controlled shifts. The computer is programmed to optimise the optimal shift spots in each gear during Wide Open Throttle (WOT).

  4. Have you explored this website? It has several X owners and a wealth of valuable information.
  5. The price for my previous F31 330d xDrive was £30 per litre. I chose to go with BMW since there were too many factors to consider.
  6. Thank you, NarrativePsych. I am now doing a local search for a few Mercedes technicians. Additionally, there are several breaker 201s that are exposed to the intense heat of the sun, which suggests that the inside condition is likely to be poor. If you happen to encounter one, please inform me, Will. There is no need for you to waste your time on this matter. At any given time.
  7. That was my alternative consideration in the event that nothing arises.
  8. I need to remove it next week and take measurements. I will provide you with updates.
  9. Greetings, everybody! I am searching for the wood trim that is included in the attachment, specifically for a 1991 W201 vehicle. Please inform me if someone has one, or if you are aware of anybody who may own one. Thank you in advance

    The automobile is impressive, but I lack knowledge about it. What is the meaning or significance of "v8"?
  11. I have a replacement on its way. Can I just change them over and consider the task complete? I would want to learn about the leak off test since I have never performed one before.
  12. Upon obtaining the vehicle identification number (VIN), I have determined that the engine in question is the N52 model.
  13. There is a problem with the idle of my father-in-law's automobile, which causes it to run roughly. However, once the car is in motion, it appears to function well until it slows down or comes to a stop. The trouble code 0029ce indicates a combustion misfire in cylinder 2. I interchanged the positions of coil 1 and 2, but, I still encountered a fault with coil 2. Additionally, I exchanged the plugs but the issue persisted. Has anybody else had a similar problem or has any relevant information?
  14. Occasionally, I get a notification upon starting that states "blind spot system inhibited". I disregard it as the system seems to be functioning well.
  15. If you are prepared to make a purchase, it is advisable to establish arrangements with a knowledgeable store that has expertise in assessing these vehicles. Is this an illicit roadside vendor? Any dealer, regardless of their expertise, lacks knowledge regarding this automobile. As previously stated, some older models may have concealed frame fractures in the front area of the vehicle, necessitating an inspection. Perform a search on this platform and you will discover relevant information on the mentioned issue, including details about mag ride leaking shocks and AC problems. Wishing you success and urging you to complete your assignments. If the current situation does not provide the desired outcome, there are several other options available.
  16. If you are going to be unappreciative, refrain from seeking assistance. When I provide a potential source for your difficulties that you haven't already researched, you seem dissatisfied and dismissive. What is your desire?
  17. Attempting to clean it will not be effective.
  18. Ensure that it is functioning correctly!
  19. Is the fuel pressure regulator located next to the fuel rail?
  20. The vehicle in question is a 2011 W204 diesel with 50,000 kilometres on it.The air conditioning unit was functioning well, then abruptly it started flashing three times when pressing the button, without any further response. What is the first point of reference? Has anybody encountered the same issue? Thank you for any guidance or advice.
  21. The occurrence of your automobile entering limp mode often results in the activation of the engine malfunction indication or the generation of a fault code, but this is not always the case. There are several disorders that may give rise to these symptoms. Regrettably, the process of diagnosing these conditions can be protracted. As you are well aware from your own experience, it takes time for the ailment to manifest, which can be distressing in terms of the amount of time spent and the associated discomfort. I have personally encountered several difficulties such as malfunctioning exhaust temperature sensors, oxygen sensors, damaged wires, fuel filter problems, the accidental addition of adblue into the fuel tank, faulty turbo actuator, and egr valve troubles. All of these factors might contribute to the situations you are now facing. If you are unwilling to pay for the time it takes to diagnose the issue, I suggest purchasing a diagnostic tool that is compatible with a smartphone app, such as topdon topscan or xtool advancer. I'm certain that other individuals here may provide further options. By providing a diagnostic code or a snapshot of the ECU data at the time of the malfunction, you may assist your chosen dealer or repair. Based on your own acknowledgment, it is evident that you lack knowledge about cars. However, these applications are remarkably user-friendly and much more convenient, not to mention cost-effective, compared to going to the authorised dealer or a technician. Furthermore, I fail to see why, at an age of less than 7 years and mileage of 100,000, which is still within the manufacturer warranty period, you personally incurred the expenses for a whole set of injectors. That must have cost you a significant amount!
  22. Is decreased value of the automobile covered by track insurance? I assume the answer is negative, but it is worth asking.
