Is there power to the EML station? You'll need to know the error codes in order to conduct most things. An injector cleaner, like Redex, might be worth a shot, though. Do you happen to have the car's mileage?

I would be more concerned about an ignition problem if the indicated revs suddenly dropped. When shifting gears, under what conditions might the engine speed decrease as a result of a slipping clutch? If the gear indicator warning light comes on, it's likely because the car has detected the stated decrease in revs and believes you're trying to overwork the engine. The car would slow down if the engine rpm suddenly drop, so it's possible that the revs are hesitating rather than dropping. However, since the tacho and gear indicator advisory are powered by ignition pulses, they can be influenced by a misfire. It is necessary to read the code that is thrown when the ignition fails to work. Sixth gear on my six-speed manual gearbox allowed me 30 mph at 1000 rpm, fifth gear 25 mph and fourth gear 20 mph. By comparing the pace at which the engine is revving in relation to the revolutions per minute (rpm), you should be able to identify clutch slip.

Dealer prices or independent?

As far as parts go, that is an astronomically expensive quote. I had the ATF, front and rear diff fluids changed in September at an independent Mercedes specialist for a third of that price. I got the car serviced in September. You might expect a hefty sum when you factor in the dealers' 250 Euro per hour work charge. To get the ATF, differentials, and plugs done, I would take it to the dealer for the A service and then locate a Star specialist who can update the DSB. A lot less money will be spent.

Let there be a leak.

The fluid may be gearbox fluid, as the cooler is integrated within the radiator. Alternatively, conduct a leak-down test, as the head gasket may have failed.

According to the corrosion guarantee, the panel must be perforated both internally and externally. 👍

I would say yes if the rust has gone all the way through, but no if they can show that the rust was caused by stone chips or damage and is visible from the outside. Bring it up with the dealer and enquire about it.

To remove sensor connections and the like, it's best to cut them off flush with the nut. This will allow you to use a six-sided socket, which offers six points of contact instead of just two when using a spanner. In any case, it's chop, drill, tap.

One of these may be useful for collecting tickets at parking garage entrances. 🙂

Apologies for the paint problem. This is an issue that far too many people have with the solid red Mercedes paint, as @MuffinClaw pointed out. Surprisingly, the micro-blistering doesn't impact the vast majority of automobiles, but when it does, it seems to harm every single metal panel. If I were in your shoes, I'd try to get Mercedes-Benz to pay for a complete bare metal respray first. If they disagree, you'll have to make up your own mind about whether or not to accept their offer. I would next file a complaint with the Motor Ombudsman and hope for a positive resolution. The legal process is expected to be lengthy and expensive, as Mercedes-Benz UK is known for fiercely fighting accusations. I hope that won't be the case. Wishing you the best of success with your claim. Please keep us updated on its progress.

The hue, tell me? A cranberry?

Bearings, flex discs, link arms, bushes, mountings, and the like are all possibilities.

If not, are the tires on your A35 flat? They can be extremely harsh when bumping into potholes or bumps, depending on the brand.

If you slide the strut dust cover down, you should be able to see the Transit Pucks in the suspension if MB is anything like VW Group. The blue component is the MK8 Golf. Their absence during PDI is not unheard of.

While your vehicle may not have been equipped with a dipstick, there are web vendors that offer them for your reassurance. It is essential to ensure that you have the correct one, as lengths differ. It is accessible as a workshop component; nevertheless, most dealers choose not to offer them to the public.

I would choose for 17-inch tires with standard specifications.

Therefore, it is the rear quarter panel, not the back window? In that instance, it may arise from the same problem.
