  1. She has one of them in her Leon. The product functions well and is constructed using durable aluminium materials, as opposed to low-quality plastic materials. According to IanW, the charging speed is quite sluggish. However, if your intention is only to maintain your phone's battery level while using it, it is absolutely acceptable.
  2. In a prior post, you said that the vehicle did not accelerate smoothly from a junction. However, your latest post indicates that this issue only occurs when the vehicle is in 6th gear. At what velocity are you travelling in 6th gear, and what is the engine's RPM when the problem occurs? The 6th gear will have a very high ratio, specifically intended for efficient cruising on motorway-like routes rather than for quick acceleration. (Apologies if this comes off as patronising, but you said that you are not knowledgeable about cars.) If the engine revolutions increase while the speed remains constant, it indicates a potential issue with the clutch sliding. Does the automobile exhibit a rapid acceleration or maintain the same speed when you downshift (e.g., from 6th gear to 4th gear) and fully use the throttle?
  3. The cost for diagnostics is £95, and the cost for putting a Nox sensor is £200. Would it have been advisable to accept the monetary offer? No, it is really referred to as tranquilly. Given that the vehicle is now 5 years old, it seems reasonable to take the risk of paying £40 a month until the new car comes. This decision might potentially benefit the seller if the car is still covered by warranty at the time of sale.
  4. After the expiration of my 3-year warranty on my MB, I acquired a 2-year extended warranty for £700.00. In December, I made a claim for a replacement NOX sensor. I have purchased a new automobile that is expected to arrive in September. However, the warranty on my current car is expiring at the end of this month. Therefore, I extended the warranty last week for a monthly fee of £40.00 until I decide to cancel it.
  5. A few years ago, I visited the MB Centre in Nottingham and was very impressed. However, I decided not to accept their offer to wash my vehicle with a power washer and dirty wash mits, since I didn't want my car to have visible swirl marks when I got it back.
  6. The presence of carbon in the engine compartment greatly enhances its aesthetic appeal, making it far more distinctive. Is it accurate to say that the trim differs between DCT and manual versions in both the facelift and pre-facelift cars?
  7. Hello, I am unable to provide a straight response to your question about reprogramming. However, I strongly advise you to carefully consider the consequences before proceeding. Are you really willing to risk the possibility of a single unintended button push in your pocket causing your car's hatch to open, especially if you are within range but unable to see your car?
  8. I am currently located in South East London, but, I am open to travelling if an individual with the necessary expertise is able to rectify the issue.
  9. There is a substantial amount of material to analyse and carefully evaluate the facts. I appreciate your assistance as it is quite beneficial.
  10. I appreciate your response, since it is logical and understandable. When searching for components, I may consider 7g plates.
  11. No, the fluid level is not low, since it has been adjusted and filled to the appropriate level. I shall examine the star readout.
  12. Greetings, I am a newcomer to Mercedes and I am the proud owner of a 2007 Mercedes C230 W203 Estate 2.5. According to the Vin decoder, my vehicle is equipped with a 7g gearbox. However, when I engage manual mode, I only get the options of R (reverse), N (neutral), D (drive) and gears 1 through 6. Is reverse considered as the first gear in this gearbox? Occasionally, when I am driving, the car becomes immobilised in third gear. To resolve this issue, I need to come to a stop, switch off the engine, and then restart it. After doing so, the vehicle functions normally once again. I have replaced the oil in the container, but, I am seeing an error code. Both numbers 2767 and 2768 are associated with component Y3/8n2. I am encountering difficulty in locating accurate information or obtaining the right licence plate for the car, since the majority of web resources pertain to either a 5th generation or 7th generation, rather than a 6th generation. When I contact Mercedes, they are unable of providing me with a part number or selling me the component. Instead, they need the item to be installed in their workshop. I am located in London, United Kingdom. I have included screenshots of the diagnostic results.
  13. As previously said, the issue at hand is to the access and removal of the pump. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDDLhf4mqk8&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fforums.mbclub.co.uk%2F&source_ve_path=OTY3MTQ&feature=emb_imp_woyt
  14. The flaps were retained on my vehicle due to their recent addition to the new manifold. I removed them from my previous 635d device and encountered many regulatory complications, prompting me to refrain from re-engaging with destiny, despite the fact that other individuals have successfully accomplished this task without encountering any difficulties. The next model will be equipped with all the necessary linkages to accommodate the actuator, allowing for effortless insertion. Applause.
  15. The actuator seems satisfactory to me, albeit its visibility in the photo is limited. As far as I recall, it has just a single arm that may be inserted into the linkage on the manifold. The image seems to depict the linkage arm remaining attached to the actuator. It should just detach. The manifold was originally cleaned, however, further modifications were required to the actuator in order to establish a new stop point and address the wear in the linkage. The device functioned and lasted for around one year until the malfunction resurfaced, prompting me to choose for a replacement. Introducing a novel one. Thank you.
  16. It is quite unlikely that you may purchase it individually, and at that distance, the connection will experience wear. I purchased a manifold from Darkside developments at a price around £200, and the quality was exceptional. It fit well and has been accurate. In my perspective, the expense of cleaning and tampering with the original item is not justified. Applause.
  17. I hope that your automobile issues be resolved promptly. While contemporary cars are generally reliable, it is uncertain if the car or the dealer can be fully trusted to remedy the problem.
  18. If the footprints left by my girlfriend cannot be removed from the alacantara ceiling, it is quite unlikely that cigar smoke will be removable as well.
  19. Can you apply a filter for the term 'kit'? The authentic Mercedes-Benz oil filter often includes all the required 'O' rings in the packaging with the filter. If your engine uses a cartridge-type cartridge that is changed from the top of the engine, then this assumption applies. That concludes the matter. Inexpensive, like potato chips. Does a full filter 'kit' include air, engine oil, cabin, gearbox and fuel filters? It is uncertain if such a kit exists as a single thing. What specific goods or services are included in the £90 offer?
  20. My first CX5 had Bridgestone tyres, while the second one had Toyo tyres. Upon evaluation, the Toyo exhibited a more cushioned ride and was quieter. The Bridgestone tyre consistently provided better traction in all situations, however it was somewhat firmer and had a rougher ride. I am pleased with the Bridgestone tyres on my CX60, no issues. Our CX30 originally came with Toyo tyres, which appear to be well-suited for this type.
  21. Thank you for the valuable and informative tyre review, I appreciate it. Having driven two CX5's, one equipped with Bridgestone tyres and the other with Toyo's, I can confirm that there is a noticeable disparity in their performance. When using Bridgestone tyres, I had a sensation of restlessness, particularly when driving in town. Initially, I suspected that the wheels need balance, but this was not the case. The latest CX5 with Toyo tyres provided a smoother ride, maybe due to suspension adjustments in the 2022 model. I did not have the 2022 model for a sufficient amount of time to make a definitive assessment, but I still believe that the current CX60 provides a smoother ride compared to both CX5 models. I agree with previous remarks that the expensive Bridgestone tyres look better on the vehicle.
  22. The vehicles are not produced in sequential sequence based on their VIN, but it provides a rough estimate.
  23. The car's first sale took place in Canada.
