You lack knowledge about the product you are purchasing.

That seems completely contrary to the effect a garage had on my sister's stub axle. They used an air-powered impact wrench and as a result of excessive tightening, the stub axle fractured into two pieces. While I was driving, the wheel detached from the vehicle. -
There are several videos available on YouTube that demonstrate the process of replacing the Comand NTG4 control wheel shaft. I had a similar issue with my S204 C220 equipped with NTG4. Purchased a new aluminium shaft as a replacement for the old plastic one, which tends to break. However, due to the intricate nature of the task and my lack of dexterity, I decided to have a nearby auto audio establishment do the operation on my behalf.Please note that the most recent update for the NTG4 satnav system is dated 2018-19, and Mercedes-Benz will not be releasing any more updates. Additionally, it is important to be aware that there are two versions of the NTG4 update DVD available, namely -204 and -212. These versions are not interchangeable, therefore if you are purchasing an update, ensure that you have the authentic MB NTG4-212 version.

I previously had a Motorola G Power smartphone that initially functioned well. However, it eventually encountered issues due to the ingress of water or dust into the USB-C connection. Nevertheless, by using a fresh cable, the device was able to operate satisfactorily on most occasions. Subsequently, I acquired a pristine Pixel 6A, which has functioned consistently on a daily basis for the last 6 to 7 months. I suspect that the issue is with the physical connection, namely either the cable, the port, or a mix of both.

I made this discovery last week. Indeed, I had loaded the automobile for the third time.

I wrapped my black one and had no problems. I will upload a photo as soon as I get the opportunity.

Procedure for changing the oil filter on a w204 vehicle.
Seconsu replied to WannaVulture's topic in General
You have the ability to do so, but what would be the rationale for running used oil through a newly installed filter? -
Another aspect to consider with these vehicles is the presence of parking sensors. I am aware that the problem is not related to the mechanics of the vehicle. However, the front bumper is experiencing sensor activation as a result of water infiltration. The vehicle also rejects aftermarket sensors, which may be purchased from the dealer at a cost of around £60 apiece. The wiring located under the bumper is similarly prone to water infiltration, but it may be purchased in five separate portions. The smaller sections are priced at around £150 plus value-added tax (VAT).

I am endeavouring to temporarily suppress contemplation of the matter.

I intended to convey that the Adblue control unit was unexpected, rather than the airmatic pump.
-
Upon purchase, I have prior knowledge that the battery, lower arm bushes, brakes, and tyres would need replacement within a span of one to two years. Subsequently, more components that were uncovered included the compressor pump, engine mounts, thrust arms, speed sensor, spring links, and PCV valve. The absence of the airmatic pump was unexpected, as it was only revealed after I underwent the official update. It became evident that the adblue had been removed prior to my purchase.

I adore your S63AMG! It is very remarkable, and I am aware that you have invested a significant amount of money on it, comparable to what I have invested in my S350. I am now retired and I am seeking a fairly priced S Class vehicle to enjoy and take care of.

The amount is quite substantial, and I am optimistic that the next years will be more financially manageable for me.

On October 1st, 2021, I acquired this vehicle from Praters in Leighton Buzzard for a sum of £15,000. The S350 Long Wheelbase Bluetec Diesel was registered on December 30, 2011, which is only 2 days beyond its registration as a 2012 model. The car is in the Designo Diamond White colour and has a Black Passion Leather inside. It has accumulated a total of 42,826 kilometres, with a current mileage of 60,529 km. Two prior proprietors The whole service history of the Mercedes Benz main dealer. 12-Month Warranty Factory Price: £15,000 or more Additional Features: - Camera Reversal The Front Seat Memory Package - Comfortable Ventilated Front Seats The roof is made of panoramic glass and has 20" AMG alloys with a 5-twin spoke design. - Lighting in the surroundings - AMG Sports Package - Package for Driving Assistance (with Distronic Plus) The package includes the Harmon Kardon Front Seat Entertainment. - Metallic paint in a diamond white color - Hard leather I intended to retain possession of the FMBSH for an extended period and sought to sustain its functionality. Consequently, I procured a three-year Service Plan including Services B, A, and B, which proved to be quite advantageous owing to the inclusion of Transmission Service in the next service due. The item exhibited exceptional condition and functioned according to its intended specifications. Initially, I removed the badges from the vehicle and replaced the radiator grille with a different design. However, after some time, I opted to restore the automobile to its former state. To do this, I purchased a new grille and reinstalled all the badges. All of the components I have purchased are genuine MB parts, with the exception of the brake parts, which were Brembo and were likely installed at the time of purchase. The services were conducted at Mercedes Benz, Maidstone, while the repairs were carried out by Mertec, a Mercedes specialist located in Rainham, Kent. The following is a summary: Service Plan (3 x Services: B/A/B) for Maintenance/Repair £1,800 Primary Battery: £158 Second Spring Links: £756 The cost of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S x 5 is £1,157, Nox Sensors x 2 is £0, and the Adblue Control Unit is £559. The cost of lower arm bushes is £205, the PCV valve is £215, and the thrust arms are £537. Air-operated pumps for suspension The cost of the O/S Wheel Speed Sensor is £461. The cost of the Steering Angle Sensor Rod is £73. Cost of Engine & Gearbox Mounts: £552 The total cost of Brembo Discs & Pads is £7,275. Cosmetics: Cover Rails, sometimes known as fillers. £226 The cost of the front radiator grille is £508, the costs for smart repair (stone chip) are £150, wheels powder coating is £300, consumables (cleaning etc) are £250, and the total is £1,434. Operating expenses: Diesel £2,018 Tax Duration: 2 Years £515 Insurance duration: 2 years £616 The sum is £4,149. TOTALS Maintenance/Repair expenses: £7,275 Cosmetics expenses: £1,434 Running costs: £4,149 The whole sum amounts to £12,858. The Nox sensors were provided and installed at no cost by MB Maidstone because to the failure of the previous sensors subsequent to the Diesel Software Update they executed. Initially, they intended to impose a fee on me for the repairs. However, due to the fact that the automobile had received annual servicing from a Mercedes Dealer from its inception, they ultimately consented to do the repairs without any additional cost. The removal of the AdBlue Control Unit was revealed during the software upgrade. It is evident that a "AdBlue Delete" had been executed previous to my acquisition of ownership. The vehicle would no longer begin its operation until a control unit was replaced, which was provided and installed by the dealership. The MB Dealer did not see the "missing" AdBlue Control Unit during the MOT test or during earlier servicing. There could have been other expenses that I cannot recall, but I believe that this description is quite accurate. Please inform me if you believe I may have overlooked any details. I anticipate that the next years will be less expensive compared to the previous two, since a significant number of components will not need replacement for an extended period of time (hoping for the best). Hence, this situation deviates from the conventional "cost of ownership" pattern seen within a two-year timeframe. Potential future expenses may include the acquisition of an AdBlue tank, Airmatic Suspension Struts, Distronic Plus Radar Sensors, and several other electrical components. Currently, we are optimistic. Please feel welcome to provide comments or pose any inquiries. Greetings.

This information may be of interest to anyone contemplating the purchase of a facelift W221 S350L BlueTec, or for those who possess a general curiosity. On October 1st, 2021, I purchased my S Class vehicle after selling a 2013 SL350 and generating a profit of £7,000. This profit is sufficient to cover the costs of repairs and maintenance for a period of time on the W221. Below are the specifics of the vehicle and the recorded expenses incurred during a period of two years, up to September 30th, 2023. To begin with, a few photographs

Is there more than one original equipment manufacturer (OEM)? The subject of my examination is to authentic Mercedes-Benz and SMART automobile components.
-
Upon brief contemplation, it becomes evident that the entity in question is AV Autoparts Ltd, duly registered in Bromley. Company Profile of Avautoparts Ltd - Endole There is little input on the MB products, but, they do have a related business known as bmwsupply. There are some negative ratings on Trustpilot.

The gasket is included. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325313634140?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=LP3jFGbMTCC&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=eVPsP3o3TNu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338774556&toolid=10001&customid=130832X1595858X1462e154d8ba77e3098ed9e3fb7d3479 Obtain a gasket from an 18-day-old tank without any flaps. https://www.diycarserviceparts.co.uk/in-let-manifold-seal-gasket-71-10389-00-72432982-by-victor-reinz.html?awc=16981_1710766487_2cd56b04dd7e8a1e2a6a6d09656750f2

I disagree. In my opinion, the issue lies in the availability of goods rather than the desire for them. There is a deficiency of personnel available to work in garages. There is a scarcity of male students transitioning from school or college. (And it remains exclusively male) The presence of inflation and employment taxes poses significant challenges to the functioning of the economy. The annual growth rate of automobiles on the road is a mere 0.8%. It is uncertain if the amount of miles travelled has significantly increased due to various factors.

Indeed! There seems to be a significant disparity in the offerings across various areas. I was unaware of the existence of the CC2 SUV.
-
There are no CC2 or CC SUV models with CX60 20" wheels available.

Unable to determine which credit card he has. I had a CC2 that is not XL, unlike the CC SUV which is. CC2 should have a gentler feel while maintaining low rolling resistance.
