  1. Issue in the thread's title. Thoroughly recorded cam/followers. Engine rattle/tick. Components revised in subsequent models. Substandard metal or insufficient lubrication may be the cause. Mercedes in Germany is fully cognisant of the issues. Typically, vehicles with such low mileage do not require oil and filter changes every 4500 miles.
  2. I submitted the concern. Counselled by an MB expert to attempt. Mechanical malfunction at 43,000 miles, maintained every 4,300 miles. This is not favourable, is it? It seems to be a widely recognised and recorded failure.
  3. Greetings, 2016 model with 43,000 miles, maintained by a Mercedes specialist in Bradford. Approximately 4,300 miles annually. The specialist possesses three vehicles for the identical purpose. Two vehicles have high mileage, and one has 85,000 miles but has missed a few service intervals. They have recommended contacting Mercedes Leeds to explore the possibility of obtaining a contribution toward the expense, given its minimal mileage and service record. I must bring it to the primary dealer for evaluation. I comprehend the rationale behind it. Am I squandering my time and £190.00 on a diagnostic when it is probable that Mercedes Germany will decline assistance? I prefer the independent to undertake the task. Kindest regards
  4. It is recommended to remove any old gasoline and replace it with fresh before continuing with the issue discovery process, as the fuel will also become stale after three years of sitting.
  5. Open the door and examine the tyre pressure label. All tyre size possibilities are available there. Furthermore, it will have minimal impact on those dimensions; for example, my rear tires have a 40 profile instead of 35, yet I see no error indicators.
  6. Perhaps £5,000 allocated for materials and £5,000 for labour, thereafter transferring it to a country that overlooks its classification as a write-off? We must not underestimate the potential for unforeseen issues unrelated to crashes that may require repair on a motor with 100,000 miles "con brio." It is difficult to conceive of anyone purchasing it "repaired" in the UK for £30,000, given that it was valued at £35,000 prior to Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events."
  7. I am unfamiliar with such matters, but what was its value at 100k "prior to the misunderstanding?" Did it possess a value above £35,000? If it was sold for £20,000, it is likely destined for Eastern Europe and, after repairs, will proceed to Southern Africa (RHD) or Cyprus.
  8. You will likely need to get your automobile from them, presuming they possess it, and engage an impartial party, which will incur costs. The mileage will be used as a countermeasure. Vehicles are susceptible to malfunction at such age.
  9. They will very definitely attempt to evade it. Coincidences occur; our VW Golf seized completely 1000 miles after a servicing. This is unrelated to us; the oil pump drive has sheared off. It is essential to get independent counsel from a skilled engineer before to disassembly, particularly to prevent the concealment of any potential evidence. It is hoped they would cooperate and acknowledge their responsibility if they are at fault; they will own insurance to cover such errors. What is the mileage? History of service?
  10. It certainly does! (Undermines the objective)
  11. However, I would personally choose for the Audi Allroad. It is a proven recipe, widely available, and it will not include the MB AdBlue system. However, I must admit that I am not entirely objective; the Audi Allroad has always been one of my preferred vehicles and has even been on my shortlist many times, though I regrettably never purchased one.
  12. Did you purchase the vehicle via a private sale or from a dealer?
  13. Based on recollection, and considering it has been a decade since I used a pre-facelift W212, Parking Assist would signify a prospective parking space on the left side of the vehicle as you gradually pass a location by putting a triangle next to the left of the 'P' inside a box symbol. Cease movement and engage the vehicle in reverse. The system will enquire if you want to activate Parking Assist: hit OK to proceed. The display will thereafter show the direction to steer when you remove the brake. It will also indicate when to cease and engage Drive before subsequently directing the appropriate steering direction. The procedure continues until you have successfully parallel parked. The system will identify a parking space to the right of the vehicle, but only when the right turn signal is activated while gradually approaching a possible opening. The subsequent models, including the facelifted W212, have Active Parking Assist, which autonomously steers during parking manoeuvres and can detect and automatically reverse into a perpendicular parking space.
  14. If you are referencing the P in a square located in the bottom left, then yes, it indicates that the vehicle is use the side-facing parking sensors in the front bumper to search for a parking place. Your model seems to be of the same generation as mine, hence it cannot autonomously manoeuvre into a parking place; but, it will display directions on the dashboard indicating when to turn left and right when reversing. I have not personally used it, however the owner's handbook will provide comprehensive information.
  15. It will seem as thus, including two rubber hoses extending from the exhaust to it.
