  1. The E39 M5 is the definitive automobile that will forever be ingrained in my memory as the most exceptional vehicle I have ever had! Using a charger must be enjoyable.
  2. I was informed that there are two kits. 1. The tuning kit. Intended for someone like Acid who can create their own blueprint for it. 2. Basic equipment. The new version is identical, except it has larger injectors and a map that can be sent and programmed using a laptop.
  3. I empathise with your suffering Mr. Wordcar, do not surrender!
  4. The system is installed at the factory, and because the footwear and plate were securely in place, I am quite certain, with a 99.9% certainty, that it has not been internally changed. This leaves me with a misleading case and component number. Attached are the images of the ones I own. Impressive assortment. I have also examined the original component number and found a correlation. My area of expertise is in the loom. As there is no precipitation today, we will see if my perseverance and the assistance of everyone provide positive results. Please extend your kind wishes for my success.
  5. Although no one explicitly confirmed their lack of requirement for coding, I was certain that it must be true. Currently, I own a total of 5 control units, all of which are non-functional. All corresponding component numbers. All of them are of the same age and model. All of them claimed to originate from a functional donor car. Although I have removed all 10 sensors from the front and back, inspected them for any damage (none discovered), and thoroughly cleaned and reinstalled them, the issue remains unresolved. I will now attempt to trace the wiring harness from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to the front and back bumpers. I find it puzzling that I am able to do the actuation test to toggle the two front and single rear displays, but I am unable to execute the 10 sensor test using the diagnostic hardware. However, I believe that the loom consists of two components: 1) Energy and Visual Output 2) Sensor devices All indications lead to the sensor harness. The day will be enjoyable, but the experience is justified by the deep affection we all have for our beloved Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The Mayor, Mr. Khan, has sent me an email informing me that the scrappage price is £2000. Declining the offer. I like to pay a fee of £12.50 each journey and use her services throughout the warmer months. She costs £500 per year and remains dependable while yet attracting attention. Thank you for the advice and for taking the time to help me. 😊
  6. Regrettably, the desired outcome has not been achieved at this time. I am now having the wire harness traced (on the side of the sensors) from the Parktronic Module connection to all 10 sensors. Most likely throughout the weekend. I will provide an update about their conclusion.
  7. Yes, I have thoroughly inspected for any damage caused by squirrels or rodents, and I have also individually cleaned and examined each sensor. One question that has intrigued me is if the diagnostic kit can detect whether the parktronic module is faulty or if the problem is with the wiring harness. Typically, when a sensor malfunctions, it exhibits consistent symptoms: red bars and beeping, followed by the PS switch becoming red and finally turning off. If the loom was faulty, it may potentially exhibit similar behaviour. However, it is important to note that in such a case, the mistake would likely be attributed to sensor issues rather than the module itself. Causing me extreme frustration, as you can see. Attached is a fresh diagnostic picture. The primary dealer has not responded to three phone calls about two inquiries. The cost of a new Parktronic module. 2) Is coding required for this and if so, what is the associated cost? They promised to respond to me. I will not wait with anticipation. However, I am determined to finally resolve this matter since I am fully committed to uncovering the truth: 1) Single-instance programming by MB 2) It is feasible to reprogram. 3) Interchangeable parts that can be easily connected and used without any further configuration or setup. I will save others the effort by providing the solution. I have been informed that the identical module is used in the E and C class, therefore this problem is not exclusive to the CLK model.
  8. Thank you for your prompt response. I appreciate your time and effort in replying. The possibility of a blown fuse was eliminated, since otherwise, the replacement or original parktronic unit would not be able to communicate or be detected by the diagnostic kit. Based on the successful results of the actuation tests, I have a suspicion that the issue is with the relay. I am confused by the conflicting information provided by two different garages. One garage claims that they have successfully replaced various auto parts using a plug and play method, while the other garage states that certain parts are specifically programmed by Mercedes-Benz and cannot be copied or reprogrammed to another vehicle. As an IT professional, I am fascinated by these difficulties and I believe that this particular one will be straightforward once resolved. My wife is delighted because she believes I will sell the vehicle, particularly since Mr. Khan, the mayor of London, is expanding the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) to outside London in August. This car travelled around 500 miles last year and is expected to go a similar distance this year. Therefore, it seems inappropriate to dispose of or sell it to someone from a northern region, considering that we have had it for 17 years. Provide a gentleman with a little amount of summer enjoyment. on the event that I discover the solution, I will promptly post it on this forum. Additionally, if any individuals had prior expertise in replacing a unit, their insights might potentially expedite the process and save me a significant amount of time. Fortunately, mortgage rates are gradually decreasing on a weekly basis 😊
  9. We performed a hand inspection of each of the 10 sensors to identify any signs of corrosion or other damage. Today, to exacerbate the situation: The Main Dealer informed me that the Parktronic system is a unit that can only be programmed once and cannot be transferred between other cars. An impartial individual informed me that the devices in question are easily installed and need no further configuration. Furthermore, this person has successfully installed similar devices on several occasions in the past. There is no need for any coding. Another autonomous individual informs me that their chief technician concurs that the aforementioned items are initially programmed just for MBenz vehicles. However, with sufficient time and exertion, they may be reprogrammed to function with the vehicle from which they were obtained. I am perplexed and fatigued. It is possible that I have two defective units. Pure misfortune. I was seeking assistance from someone on this platform who has experienced a similar situation and had the knowledge to provide a solution. I will exercise patience, anticipating that they will arrive within a short period of time.
  10. For some months, I have been diligently attempting to resolve this problem on behalf of my father. However, the several garages and diagnostic results have only served to perplex us more. I am contacting you in the hope that someone among you has the expertise that none of the Mercedes-Benz professionals I have consulted has, to resolve a seemingly straightforward inquiry. The problem: The W208 convertible owned by Dad is equipped with factory-installed parking sensors both at the front and back of the vehicle. They ceased their job. After undergoing a diagnostic procedure, it was determined that: The Control Module N62 is defective. Purchased a used module as a backup, with the assurance that it is ready to use and the component numbers are same. After the first attempt failed, I proceeded to get it examined. The diagnostic results indicated that all 10 sensors and the module are reporting the same issue. A43b10 (Left outside sensor, rear bumper): The plug connection exhibits inadequate contact or is loose, or there is a defect in the sensor or cable. A log is created for each sensor to document this error. Furthermore The Control Module N62 is defective. I returned to the vendor, who assured me that the item need coding. Although the code data was successfully transferred from the previous data, the problem still persists. We rectify the error, yet it subsequently reoccurs. My anticipation was in line with that outcome. Purchased a second item and had the same problem. I am aware that both devices are susceptible to water infiltration via the front water drain. Therefore, it is possible that both units are defective. However, in order to maintain my mental well-being, I have two specific questions for your members: 1) Is it necessary to code the Parktronic control module? If the original module is defective, such as in my situation, how can its data be replicated onto the new module? The procedure is said to be effective, but I am curious to understand the underlying mechanisms. 2) Is Xentry necessary for good coding, or may any high-end system suffice? We have tested four diagnostic systems and all have shown identical results. A walk test, also known as actuation, demonstrates the functionality of the internal displays, but does not provide any graphical data from the sensors located at the front or rear. Is it possible that there is damage to the wire loom? If such were the case, the communications would certainly not function, identify, resolve, and subsequently rediscover the problem. I am perplexed. Although it is possible to manage without sensors, the presence of sensors is necessary due to the fact that my father, who is 81 years old, has a limited parking space. I do not want to inconvenience him much. Seeking assistance since I have exhausted all my thoughts. The car is a W208 320 equipped with the factory-installed AMG 430 body package. Despite her advanced age, we have a deep affection for her. Thank you in advance.
  11. The CL203 is prone to a well-documented wireless malfunction, specifically related to water entering the amplifier/receiver located in the boot. Regrettably, it is connected to the back screen and necessitates the installation of a new screen:Oops: Currently, there are establishments that can remove the amplifier without replacing the glass, but this service is expensive regardless of the method chosen. The power depletion may also be correlated with it. Despite the low mileage of your automobile, it is within the spectrum of vehicles affected by balancer shaft troubles, which will significantly reduce its potential value in a private sale. In my opinion, I would list it on eBay as a classified advertisement for £995, without any room for negotiation, emphasising its sporting characteristics. The car's 200 horsepower is rather impressive. Additionally, it is compliant with the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) requirements. Alternatively, if you choose not to pursue that option, I would recommend seeking out a specialised Mercedes dismantler and negotiating a price higher than the standard scrap value for your vehicle. Attempting to get anything farther will just result in unnecessary aggression.
  12. Perhaps the 255th day of the year 2019? I am curious whether it was a Friday! Incorrect, it occurred on a Thursday. (It is astonishing what one can get from the internet!)
  13. The production of Disco 2s ceased in 2004. It is uncertain if they will resume production in 2019.
  14. As said before!That is a phrase I often encounter.Obtain a code!
  15. Is the vehicle powered by diesel, petrol or a hybrid engine? Does it have a manual gearbox or a dual-clutch gearbox (DCT)? From where did you purchase the automobile?
  16. It is possible that you have unintentionally reduced the brightness of the display. Once, I encountered a vehicle with a somewhat dark display after purchasing it second-hand. However, I realised that the brightness could be increased by simply twisting the little black mileage reset stalk, which was rather unexpected. Is it worth considering at the very least?
  17. Thank you for the replies- I previously had a Discovery Sport, which unfortunately stopped working. It had a one push feature that was always reliable, so I wanted to recreate it for convenience and familiarity. If anybody has completed this task, I would very appreciate hearing about your own experience.
  18. Greetings, everyone. I own a 2020 X3, my first BMW, and it seems that the only method to operate the tailboard using the key buttons is by continuously pressing and holding the button. Is there a method to reprogram that feature to enable a single push instead of requiring a continuous hold? I have familiarised myself with the application BimmerCode and similar options, but I am curious whether there exists a more straightforward solution? Thank you everyone, I am pleased to be here!
  19. A few years back, I had the rear subframe assembly of my automobile thoroughly examined. The response I received was that it was in impeccable condition. However, despite this assurance, the subframe ultimately malfunctioned, resulting in the car being deemed irreparable and declared a total loss.From my comprehension, it seems that the rear subframes undergo internal corrosion.
  20. I own a 2015 V8 vehicle with a gated manual gearbox, which is one of just 56 V8 vehicles with manual gearbox produced that year. For the above reasons, I would choose the 2015 model over the 2008 model. Advantages: The presence of a face lift and complete LED headlights. Upgraded rear lights. Adding those components alone would incur a cost of $15,000 if you want the appearance of a facelift. Replace the twin exhaust tips on each side with a single exhaust tip. Additional reinforcement and bracing have been added to the front end. Additionally, there is the option of obtaining a fidelity warranty. I was considering other properties with gated access, all from the year 2009, priced at $75,000 on average, and with an average mileage of roughly 35,000. However, I came across the one I ultimately purchased, which was listed for $89,000. The vehicle had just one owner and had been driven for a total of 11,000 kilometres. The decision to purchase it was obvious and required no more consideration. It was in late 2018 when I purchased my R8.
  21. The origin of the facelift automobile determines its regional variation. The only method to determine is by connecting it to a power source.
  22. Please inspect the programming of the back camera on the new device. When you open VCDS, you will see numerous choices available for selection, which may vary depending on the area and kind of automobile. This is the experience I had when I purchased a radio unit with updated features for my vehicle that was manufactured before the updated version was released.
