  2. Two of the best tyre brands are Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and Continental SC7. However, the price is high. The Goodyear Asymmetric 6 and F1 tyres are excellent substitutes. You get a better grip and less noise for the same price. Since tires are subjective, I'm sure you'll be presented with a variety of brands. For more information about each brand and tyre, see the trye review.
  3. If you plan on keeping the car, I recommend removing and cleaning the intake manifolds, replacing the motor and swirl flap arms and getting the oil cooler seals done. A new turbo and actuator are likely next on the agenda. Once the turbo is removed, the manifolds may be removed in half the time. My best wishes.

  5. The egr valve, turbo actuator, and swirl flap motor are all powered by the 5v supply circuit. The symptoms you mentioned could be caused by a malfunctioning component that is reducing the 5v supply. In my experience, each one has been flawed at some point. When testing resistors, swirl flap is a simple and fast alteration to use. Following that, I will examine the egr valve.
  6. I'm in favour of swapping out the springs with sport or avantgarde ones. If you are unsure of what you need and happen to live near a Mercedes dealership, I recommend visiting their parts counter. Provide them with your car's year and specifications, and enquire as to whether there is a different part number of spring available for the Avantgarde spec version of that same year. Write down the part number and purchase them (not necessarily from the dealership). If you already have a spring compressor tool, all you need to do is find a garage and have them replace them out. Is your vehicle equipped with standard steel front and rear springs? Some models may have air springs in the back, which may be easily identified by removing the rear wheel.
  7. That's great. Look through the parts catalogues for both your specification and a comparable Sport or Avantgarde from the same year and engine size. I think the only thing that could be different are the springs, but you never know. You may tell the owner what to order by comparing part numbers.
  8. A single functional decoding site has eluded me at the moment. To the best of my knowledge, I've tried six. The message "Vin not found" or "Incorrect Vin#" keeps popping up. The only certain option is to pay around £22 for a comprehensive analysis from a business called Car Vertical. It would make my day if you could tell me about a functional decoding website.
  9. After looking at many AMGs with painted callipers, I can say with confidence that it is not dependable. Without exception, a PP is my top pick, barring a later MY with normal diff.
  10. Like with other PPs, I'm assuming it's option P30. Is that right?
  11. Salutations everyone, I'm about to witness an R231 SL63 that was made before the 2013 FL. It would mean a lot to me if someone could verify that the rear limited-slip differential is an option (471). The code wording strangely suggests a locking front diff?! Differential lock for the AMG front axle, acceleration skid control (ASR), and mechanical locking disc What is the option code for the performance pack, and how can I tell whether it has the extra power? It appears to have the LSD but no power boost, which is strange. Yours truly.
  12. Screw that, I'll build a bespoke manifold, attach two T66s, and mount the intercooler on the top of the car.
  13. If I hadn't gone on a whole Scrooge rant, that is what I would have proposed.
  14. Buying that automobile would be the worst financial mistake you could make. Do Get something reasonable to spend your money on; you'll be doing yourself a service. I won't be nasty, impolite, or pissy if I say this, but it's astonishing that you're investing in a 21-year-old automobile that may explode under increased acceleration (because you have no idea what the inside is like) instead of using that money toward your education.
  15. Over the weekend, I had a comparable discussion about potholes with another person. We both agreed that the worst thing is that drivers and riders are so preoccupied with crashing into craters that they fail to look more than three feet ahead of their vehicle for possible hazards.
