There is no temperature gauge, but I suspect there is a warning indicator for coolant over temperature, and maybe for low coolant level. Resembles a thermometer immersed in water. When you turn on the ignition, the sign should illuminate and then turn off when you start the engine. If this indicator stays unilluminated and there are no other indications of an engine that has become too hot, it is likely that there is no over temperature situation. Bigphil555 was quicker than me. It is highly recommended that you use the scan tool to monitor the engine coolant temperature. Despite the presence of temperature gauges in automobiles, it is difficult to accurately determine the exact temperature. The gauge only provides a general indication of whether the coolant is cold, warm, or hot. An very high temperature will likely be indicated by a warning icon. A thermometer immersed in water.

It seems that the engine light is doing two functions simultaneously. If such is the case, one need a MINI scan tool capable of accessing a gateway and delving further into the vehicle's electrical system to identify the source of the illuminated warning light. Do you believe that the engine is experiencing excessive heat? Is there not a gauge for measuring the temperature of the engine coolant? There is likely a warning light or symbol that indicates when the coolant temperature is too high or when the coolant level is low.

Requires fewer hands when measuring from the outside border to the middle of the hub and multiplying the result by two.

There is no need to detach the wheel. Instead, place a straight object across the top and bottom of the disc by inserting it between the wheel spokes. Then, measure the distance between these two points.

The first Brabus configuration used 255/35 tyres for both the front and back, despite a 1-inch variation in rim diameter. This seems questionable. The second option, which has a rear tyre size of 285/30, is more logical. The provided offsets are ET40 for the front wheels and ET45 for the rear wheels, which is almost identical to the offsets of your rims. Therefore, I am surprised that you need spacers. Did you purchase the automobile in its present condition?

The present tyres on your vehicle are the sizes that have been officially certified by Mercedes and AMG for 8J/9J rims. Below, you will find a list of Brabus alternatives available in 8.5J/9.5J that you may want to consider: https://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/information/fitting_chart/mercedes-benz

Do the tyres share the same brand and have a similar age?

There are more affordable replicas available that function as well - I use them whenever possible since they do not entail the use of an open flame. 👍

A mini-ducter uses electromagnetic fields (EMF) to cause bolts to reach a temperature where they emit a red light within a time span of 30 seconds, without the presence of flames. Applying a sudden and forceful stream of cold water often facilitates the easy removal of stubborn substances. Indeed, there are likely less challenging positions available at his establishment!

If the bolts were in good condition last year, it would need significant corrosion for them to get stuck thus firmly - I find it difficult to believe that such a situation would occur in Spain. This is only my perspective, of course.

Well done, my friend. Certain types of transit vans included a comparable feature. The fuel level sensor in the tank malfunctions, causing the van to mistakenly believe that the tank is empty. As a result, the van cuts off the lift pump to prevent the intake of air into the high pressure side. The original poster (OP) did not specify the specific mechanics being used, but it seems to be related to turning the engine without it starting. Any reputable mechanic shop should have the ability to resolve this issue.

I just had the same issue with my E-Class vehicle. There is a malfunction with the sensor located on the rear right side. I first replaced the sensor, which was a rather easy task. However, after resetting the code, I encountered another issue related to the signal. Therefore, the impulse ring required replacing. A significant amount of suspension components needed to be disassembled in order to reach the ring located at the end of the driveshaft. Therefore, I decided to have my nearby garage repair it, which they successfully performed. The amount is £150. However, the mechanic did mention that the process was not really fun. (That is a courteous rendition of his statement) Please anticipate it! After a period of 3 weeks, the dashboard lights have once again illuminated. The icarsoft device has malfunctioned and now the error is being caused by the left rear sensor. Therefore, I will need to repeat the whole procedure. Fortunate am I. When two defects occur simultaneously, it is possible that there is another underlying cause.

That is precisely the charger I used in my CLK for an extended while - it fits well, functions well, but charges gadgets at a sluggish pace. I successfully implemented the modification as outlined by W1ghty, which included installing a dual USB socket that is compatible with quick charging in the ashtray. The USB socket was obtained from the online retailer, Banggood. Allegedly provides a maximum power output of 42 Watts to the USB device(s).

The air spring body is experiencing deterioration and leakage. Typical after a period of 5 years. The task of replacement might be completed during a duration of one hour. Mercedes-Benz will charge you around $1,000, whereas an independent mechanic using Mercedes-Benz components would you $600. The non-MB components are of equal or superior quality compared to MB parts at this specific moment. Therefore, it may be advisable to purchase an Arnott pair for a total cost of 500 and have them professionally installed for an additional 200.

I am unable to perceive any sound whatsoever inside my vehicle, and I am content with this situation. I just want to hear the engine, disregarding all other sounds.

I have heard that the cigars associated with the Clintons emitted an unpleasant odour.

Just inspected the location in the Netherlands, shouldn't this be the accurate CC2? https://www.profile.nl/autobanden/michelin/cross-climate-2-suv/235-50-r20-104w-el

When were the p38 air springs reinforced?

Thank you, R8-Stuff, for the original equipment manufacturer Recaro seats.

Next month, I could sell my manual Audi Wingbacks that I obtained from an S3 when I dismantle my vehicle in preparation for selling it. Contact me directly if you are interested. Non-automatic wingbacks are often more cost-effective than the R8-specific ones. -
My insurance premium increased from 600 in March to 1200 for my 22 plate Sportage hybrid while having the same no claims bonus. I have visited comparison sites but cannot find a cheaper deal. I am puzzled by this sudden change.

Seek guidance from a prominent neighbourhood body shop. Visit in person instead of using email or phone to gauge your trust in them. Best regards

Noteworthy fact: The first iteration of the super cub, equipped with a 4-stroke pushrod engine, was characterised by its remarkable simplicity, to the extent that it lacked an oil pump. The lubrication system used splash lubrication, with a dipper connected to the large end to distribute oil onto the crank bearings, connecting rod, and piston. Despite your negligence, you were unable to successfully eliminate even a single individual. Similar to others in this group, I operated a vintage C50 motorbike in the rural areas when I was 14 years old.

"Understood. I acknowledge the requirement for the compact Bosch belt, and I will make an effort to acquire one." Furthermore, the functioning of the air conditioning is of little concern to me; my primary objective is to verify the car's ability to resume operation. We appreciate your assistance in resolving my issue. I will provide you with regular updates about the progress. Thank you for your kind words!
