  1. I would assert that it performs like they all do with WOT; indeed, on rare occasions when I apply full throttle, it maintains the gear till the redline.
  2. Thank you for your response. That is logical. I have had the automobile for a little while and have perceived it to be quite slow. Attribute it to having the lowest output OM651. I will get a new hose. Is it correct to assume that there is often a little quantity of oil in the intercooler line connected to the turbocharger?
  3. Apologies, I should have specified the 2011 C-Class equipped with the OM651 engine.
  4. Good day, everyone. While repairing my drop links today, I saw an oil deposit on one of the main pipes at the front of the vehicle, namely on the driver's side (right-hand drive), which is also the lowest part of the car. I have attempted to track it from the upper section of the engine compartment, but I am unable to discern anything. It does not leak in the sense of dripping into the floor; nonetheless, could anybody assist with identifying potential issues in this region that may be contributing to this problem?
  5. Greetings, I own a 1999 BMW 316i with an automatic gearbox. I purchased the vehicle in 2013 when it had 47,000 miles on it, and for the most of the last ten years, it has served as my mother's automobile. The current mileage on it is 78,000. There is a problem where I believe the vehicle enters "Get you home" ECU mode when it is cold, but functions normally after it has warmed up. The automobile has served me well, but I have recently acquired a new one. I have come here seeking guidance on the process of selling it. What is its value? Where is the most optimal place to sell autos like these at the present time? Is anybody interested in acquiring it?
  6. These automobiles are completely distinct and cannot be substituted for one another.
  7. I should have clarified that I would not take any phone calls while I am driving, but I will return any missed calls after I have found a safe place to stop.
  8. My friend, If necessary, my phone number has been redacted - please send a private message instead. If you ever find yourself in a difficult situation and need assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me. Although I may not be able to retrieve your automobile, I can arrange for you and your family to be taken to a hotel near a train station. This offer stands in case your car won't be available for use in the near future. If there is any local recovery required within my vicinity, I am willing to provide it free of charge. This offer also extends to club members within a 50-mile radius of Glasgow, with the condition that the recovery ends in Glasgow. However, for recoveries outside of this area, I would need to request reimbursement for the cost of petrol. This would involve filling up the tank before departure, obtaining a receipt, refilling the tank upon drop off, and requesting the recovered party to cover the expenses. I believe this arrangement is fair. Nevertheless, I maintain the belief that this is the essence of being a club member; I am curious to know whether anybody else shares this sentiment and would be inclined to assist other members either with a nearby tow or a more extensive one. Could our club establish a nationwide network to assist stranded members by arranging transportation to local MB dealerships, motels for overnight stays or MB independent specialists? As club members, we would not have any obligations. However, if assisting in transporting club members to a dealership or an independent Mercedes-Benz service centre would be beneficial, we would consider it fulfilled. If the stranded club members merely want to return home, leaving their vehicle at Indy/dealership, they might consider making a trip to the next major train station. Others, please remark - may we, as members, give this to other frequent and familiar members in a generic manner? I am referring to those who join the club for a short period of time and then want a tow over the whole length of Britain - such individuals would need careful examination.
  9. I am unable to provide a comprehensive or satisfactory response to this question. However, based on my recent experiences over the past two days, while travelling from North Ayrshire (entering the M8 at Glasgow Airport) to Cambuslang and returning via the same route, everything has been satisfactory. There have been no significant issues, except for major accidents, which are unavoidable in any location. Based on the topic I am seeing, it seems that you are likely making good progress. Today, around the late morning or mid afternoon, I went down the M8 in both directions, from west to east and again from east to west, passing by Glasgow airport without seeing any abnormalities. I really wish for your trip to be successful and devoid of any difficulties. I will monitor this topic closely, but please let me know if you have any problems. The premier Mercedes-Benz expert in Scotland is Merparts, located in Port Glasgow. Merparts Ltd is an independent and highly reputable Mercedes-Benz specialist. Many other members would confirm that the company is operated by three brothers, all of them were once MB master technicians (the highest degree) before they departed to establish their own business.Several more individuals have provided favourable comments on the services they received at that establishment. If you are located around Port Glasgow and need a tow, please contact me. I would be delighted to provide assistance. That is the essence of becoming a member of a club.
  10. I have folding rear seats in my W212 E63 without a doubt. I mistakenly believed that these characteristics were normal, but I am fortunate to have them in my own. To be quite frank, it wouldn't have occurred to me to verify, but fortunately it was provided, since one never knows when they would be necessary. Currently, I am experiencing occasional instances of flashbacks. I have no recollection of my 1996 c-class saloon, model w202, being equipped with rear folding seats. They were repaired
  11. Since I am using the Hyundai Tucson model, the moniker 'KIA Connect' is replaced with 'Bluelink'. Regarding my situation, I establish a connection using an iPhone 15 and have not had any issues with the application.
  12. The majority of contemporary automobiles are equipped with LED lighting. The probability of Mazda having a significantly different failure rate compared to other car manufacturers is low, particularly when taking into account that several manufacturers rely on the same suppliers for sourcing their components.
  13. An expedient solution would be to open the key and thoroughly clean it with electrical contact cleaner.
  14. I wouldn't dismiss that as usual - there must be something off. I agree with @PopeyeR assertion that it would be prudent to examine components such as coils, spark plugs, and injectors in this case. Although I lack expertise in mechanics, I have seen that oxygen sensors and similar components may also induce similar malfunctions in other vehicles, excluding the R8. In the past, I had a BMW that exhibited similar behaviour. Specifically, during cold starts, the engine would experience rough idling and fluctuating RPMs, almost to the point of stalling. I had to leave it at the dealer for a few days so that they could replicate the issue many times after it had been parked overnight. I am unable to remember the specific details at the moment, but it pertained to a matter with the fuel system and the sensors' inability to effectively control. I lived in a region where they alternated between winter and summer petrol, which seemed to worsen the issue.
  15. Does Car Wow provide a valuation? I have found them to be more amenable to interact with compared to webuyanycar.
  16. MB Automotive Loughborough is an automotive company located in Loughborough.
  17. I would want to know the proper method for removing A/C vents that have clips attached to them.
  18. Is it as effortless for the centre console to seem this way?
  19. The two automobiles have remarkable visual appeal. Custom rims are often associated with rappers and decade-old luxury automobiles in the ghetto, but they are very appealing.
  20. Hello. What is their price? Perhaps you possess knowledge about the weight of both seats?
  21. There are two reasons for that. These seats lack sufficient support when cornering in sporty driving, given my height of 186cm/95kg. I am unable to accurately determine the location. The second argument is to weight reduction, since it is not my regular driving choice but rather a recreational one.
  22. Seeking to replace my diamond stitch sport seats with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) bucket seats. Are you aware of the total weights of these? Has anybody completed the swap? Plug and play or any coding/modifying required? Thank you in advance!
