  1. I am experiencing an intermittent issue where the engine loses power, stops, and fails to restart for around ten seconds before functioning normally again. I am uncertain if the problem is related to gasoline or a blockage. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
  2. During my procedure, I had to consistently apply heat to the ball joints and use an impact wrench to initiate movement of the ball joint. Heat is crucial, since the aluminium control arm expands more than the steel ball joint and also facilitates the application of Loctite. Apply heat, utilise impact to slightly rotate the joint, and then continue the process until it becomes loose. The induction heater outperformed the heat gun. Ensure the correct rotation by unscrewing the ball joint clockwise via the arm. The ball joints may be replaced without detaching the control arms from the frame.
  3. The Blobsta seems amazing; excellent work, young guy. It looks much improved.
  4. The C207 E-Class Coupe is derived from the C-Class W204, rather than the E-Class W212; hence, it may be beneficial to search for YouTube videos pertaining to the W204.
  5. Disregard continuity for the moment; the first step is to verify that the ECU is receiving a signal from the crank sensor.
  6. Uncertain if the pump primes with ignition. Operates alone when the ECU detects a signal from the crank sensor.
  7. I must confess I have never taken the initiative to establish traffic alerts, since I do not consistently listen to the radio. I mostly use Carplay with Google Maps, hence depending on traffic notifications from Google. I may configure notifications for the times I have the radio on. When I listen to the radio, it is often the BBC national stations on DAB. I have not had any issues with the signal, and while it is configured to switch to FM if needed, I have never seen this occurring. While some have had issues with DAB station dropout, my has performed quite well. I must be very fortunate, or it is due to my consistent engagement with the powerful stations.
  8. Mine has never functioned correctly; in fact, it has never operated at all. Nonetheless, I use a workaround. The GT Line S has two seat memory settings; I have programmed memory position 1 for my driving posture and memory position 2 for the exit configuration, which I adjusted to the lowest and farthest back setting. The advantage of this approach is that it allows a more extensive movement of the seat overall. As my brother describes it, being somewhat 'nutritionally deficient,' I need as much space as possible. 😅 It quickly becomes instinctive to choose option 1 and option 2 prior to leaving.
  9. Does your automobile has integrated navigation? If not, any upgrades must be obtained from the dealer.
  10. It is often assumed that 100,000 miles is the threshold for reliability; however, this does not exclude potential issues at 76,000 miles or guarantee a trouble-free experience until 150,000 to 200,000 miles. If the vehicle has been maintained according to BMW's recommended intervals, about every 20,000 miles as shown by the onboard computer, consider servicing it sooner. Oil change every maximum of 10,000 miles. For a manual gearbox, allocate funds for a dual mass flywheel and clutch. If it is automatic, at 100,000 miles, the gearbox will be due for its second service
  11. Purchase a pair of Chemical Guys Hex Logic pads to complement your equipment, along with Scholl S20 Black compound, and you will have several hours of enjoyable 'detailing' amusement.
  12. So, just to clarify, are we correct in understanding that the automobile is capable of driving and you can easily adjust the steering wheel from one lock position to another with only one finger, without any audible noises such as crunching, banging, or rattling? If the answer to the previous question is yes, please specify the exact issue with it, assuming it is not related to the EPS bolts.
  13. The recall was initiated to repair the bolts and any racks that had bolt failure. A new rack will be installed free of charge. The total cost of the estimated price and the rack amounts to £3,800. However, it is worth noting that a remanufactured rack may be replaced for around £1,800. If you are positive that the EPS box is the component that has broken, you may consider purchasing a second-hand one as an alternative. However, it is important to consider the additional expense of having it installed.
  14. No, I do not experience any vibrations while using the mirror in either regular or clear sight mode.
  15. I especially like it on highways due to its ability to provide a far broader perspective, capturing all three lanes. 👀
  16. I own the transparent sight mirror and use it often. I have had no issues whatsoever with vibrations or any other malfunctions; the device has always operated flawlessly. Have you attempted to modify the perspective by using the buttons located at the bottom, in order to determine whether it has any discernible impact? It is unlikely to happen, but if you have exhausted all other options, it is worth trying. Mrs. DKZ really dislikes it, since she claims that she is unable to concentrate on the visual while viewing it.
  17. You may need a suspension from the forum until you get another Mercedes-Benz, my friend.
  18. The website's search tool may direct you to many resources. https://www.vredestein.com/car-suv-tires/dealer-listing/

  20. Based on the tyre size 225/45 has the same diameter as the tyre size 255/40, so there should not be a problem.
  21. Indeed, it seems to be indicative of a malfunctioning ABS sensor or reluctor ring. Do all the tyres installed have the same rolling radius as the front tyres, meaning they have the right width, profile, and pressures?
  22. The cap is equipped with grooves that allow it to be placed on top of the filler door, keeping it out of the way. However, caution must be used to avoid causing any scratches.
  23. Consider approaching a dealer that resembles the character of Arthur Daley and operates inside your local area.
