Update - The attempt to resolve the issue by bringing it to the Mercedes dealer was unsuccessful. On their first try, they imposed a diagnostic cost of £140 and informed me that they had updated the 'Software' to fix the air suspension problem, as well as the issue of the default units constantly resetting to kilometres. I was given a guarantee that both problems were unequivocally resolved by the software upgrade. With a sceptical mindset, I drove the vehicle away and made a brief stop at a store. However, upon returning, I saw that the suspension had failed. In addition, the units persistently default to km. :mad: I spoke with the service manager and he agreed to bring the vehicle in again for further diagnostic tests on both problems without any additional cost. Their recent diagnosis indicates that the reason for the suspension falling is indeed the recently acquired and installed air compressor. I questioned the reasoning for attributing this activity to the non-Mercedes dealer component, considering that the vehicle displayed the same behaviour even when equipped with the original factory-installed compressor. However, their explanation did not provide a satisfactory answer. I rejected the proposal to spend over £1k on replacing the fully functional (and just purchased!) compressor. Wouldn't the defective unit have difficulty lifting the vehicle upon starting if this was actually the case? Apparently not. In addition, they have determined that rectifying the problem with the default units will need a software upgrade costing £140. Me - Are you referring to the software update that you previously installed, which did not resolve the issue? Mercedes - No, sir. The recent upgrade was specifically for the suspension problem, and it included modifying the software. I am referring to the software update that failed to address the suspension problem and was also supposed to repair the issue with default units, but did not succeed. Mercedes - I'm sorry, but this is a separate software upgrade that will cost £140. I rejected their kind offer and chose to get the automobile myself. On a positive side, they are always polite and attentive. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised to see that my vehicle had been meticulously cleaned and the tyres had been treated with a glossy substance. However, my satisfaction was short-lived as I opened the door and the metal sill plate fell to the ground. It seems that they used excessive force with a pressure washer on the sill, causing the removal of all the glue. It appears that they lack the ability to effectively and methodically diagnose a problem in order to identify the underlying cause of failure. Instead, they rely on the fact that their customer base primarily consists of corporations who prioritise quick problem resolution over the number of random parts that are replaced in the process. I am now searching for an autonomous Mercedes expert in the East Midlands region. Does anybody have firsthand experience with MB Centre in Nottingham?

For those who are interested, here is an update... The compressor and valve body have been replaced, nevertheless the issue of collapse persists. 😟 I have made an appointment with Mercedes Derby for them to identify the problem and provide me with a permanent solution.

I saw intermittent depressions in the rear suspension. This phenomenon may occur intermittently, sometimes happening overnight but not consistently every night. Alternatively, the scenario may include the engine being turned off, the tailboard being open, and a someone occupying the cargo area. Consistently, the automobile would elevate after the motor was ignited and it operated in a typical manner. I have taken my vehicle to the nearby garage several times for inspection, but unfortunately, the issue never occurs when it is being examined at the garage. Conventional! The user's text consists of the emoji "🤦🏻‍♂️". However, last week the situation deteriorated when I encountered the error notice attached while completing the school run. I scheduled an appointment for the automobile and conducted an inspection, during which I discovered that the 40A fuse had malfunctioned. Acquired a set of these and installed one, resulting in the elevation of the suspension and the restoration of the car's functionality... but only for a distance of around 4 miles, after which the fuse malfunctioned once again and the same error message reappeared. I have returned to the garage. As they are unable to locate any leaks, their only option is to replace the compressor. That is now the only alternative being considered... Unless another individual with expertise in this subject can provide an alternative? The compressor seems to be the sole component in the air suspension configuration that has the potential to cause the fuse to blow. Is the ingress of water into the compressor a potential reason for the 40A fuse to malfunction? Update - Observers have observed the presence of a valve located just beneath the NS headlight that is leaking air, indicating the existence of a mechanism that is instructing the flow of air. Presently, the intention is to replace both the valve and the compressor, since they are the cause of the blown fuses. I was previously under the impression that this valve was located near the back bumper, but to my astonishment, my colleagues informed me that it is really situated behind the headlamp.

An inquiry for the collective intelligence... The rear air suspension of my 2017 S213 220d Premium Plus is experiencing a malfunction. In January 2023, I was involved in a collision with a taxi that struck the back of my vehicle. Upon the scheduled collection of the automobile for insurance repairs, the air suspension had completely deflated, causing the vehicle to rest directly on the bump stops. This was an unprecedented occurrence prior to the rear-end collision. I informed the insurance company and they assured me that they would handle the matter. The automobile was returned with the tail end damage repaired and the suspension restored to its original condition... or so I believed.

Hello w4rlock. What are the warranty numbers for a brand new 2024 Lamborghini Tecnica with 0 miles?

Indeed, my answer would be affirmative. I own the ACARNAVI, but, I choose to evaluate the facelift radio. The post-facelift version offers improved resolution, contrast, and much quicker menu scrolling compared to the pre-facelift version.

Could you possibly provide more specific information?

Thank you for your reply! I lack experience with VCDS and have only using OBDEleven.It seems that I may need to seek the assistance of a more knowledgeable someone in VCDS to do the reprogramming task.

Seeking assistance from someone who can help- I bought a Gen 1.5 Facelift OEM radio unit to put in my Gen 1 Pre-Facelift. Prior to the replacement, the rear camera was functioning well on the previous unit. However, when connecting the new radio and engaging reverse gear, the screen briefly shifts to the rear camera display (which is blank) for a few seconds before returning to the original menu. The car has been in storage for the winter and I have not yet pulled it out or driven it. I am unsure whether doing so is necessary to remedy the problem. Thank you everyone

To begin, I would do a battery test by charging it for a few hours and observe any observable impact. Internal failure may occur abruptly, as I personally experienced.

I have perused the title of this discussion, omitted any intermediate content, and will just respond to the last sentence/question. Indeed.

Concurred. It is advisable to do necessary tasks or tasks that are likely to be required while you are already at that location.

Purchasing a well-maintained 15-year-old CLS will not result in ongoing costly repairs; get it evaluated by a local independent mechanic. If your mileage is modest, you will likely see little depreciation. The cost of maintenance is unlikely to exceed that of your existing warranty, which may not cover all potential issues. I would be more worried about the dependability of your recent diesel vehicle in the next years, particularly if you want to use it for short trips. In 3-5 years, as the transition to electric vehicles and petrol hybrids gains momentum, the present diesel generation with its intricate and costly pollution control systems will likely become unwanted. I agree with you. A high-performance petrol car priced at 219 with extra money to pay off the mortgage is a more advantageous option in my opinion.

Is the contract publicly accessible and did he specify the first payment? I do not have a preference for Range Rovers, particularly the current models. Additionally, I have not had a diesel vehicle in a long time. However, if the monthly cost is £600, I could easily disregard those factors.

I am in close proximity to my current location. Once my seat comes and is successfully installed, I will contact you if you are still in need of a solitary seat.

Greetings, I am now located in the southwestern region of Scotland, namely in the vicinity of Newton Stewart.

That suggestion is really insightful. The photo of StMarks and Kamikazi has provided valuable assistance, since it seems that a bench seat would be a suitable match. I appreciate the offer. Unfortunately, I cannot accept your suggestion since I have already purchased a bench seat from a dismantler that is compatible with the Tunga. Upon its arrival, I will have one vacant seat at your disposal, should you be interested. I will upload an image of it. I have included a photograph of the centre section to see if the bench seat would be compatible with it.

I appreciate your assistance. I am beginning to speculate if the vehicle once had a bench passenger seat, given the presence of a brace extending from the 'B' pillars and a little yellow cable falling down beneath, which seems to be unattached. It is possible that these features are part of the normal configuration. There is a base located underneath the single passenger seat, as well as a base that is half the width of the single passenger seat positioned between it and the driver's seat. may the passenger seat be removed so that the bench seat may be securely attached to the base and positioned next to a narrower dashboard in the centre? Thank you one again.

Hello, I am considering buying a 2017 Vito w447. It suits my needs well, however I would want to modify it from a 2-seater to a 3-seater if I decide to get it. I am curious about the level of difficulty and potential additional expenses associated with this task, particularly considering the requirement for base replacement. After perusing many forums, I have seen that several individuals express a preference for converting the front seating arrangement from three seats to two seats. In the event that anybody is now engaged in such a modification, I would be open to the possibility of exchanging seats. I appreciate any assistance and guidance that anybody may provide me.

It seems that the bulb in question may be a d1s bulb or a similar kind. Typically, I sell these bulbs for between £30 - £40 to provide a competitive price compared to Halfords. However, if you're fortunate, it might be a h7 bulb or a similar type, which are priced at under £5. I recommend visiting your local parts store, as they are often willing to offer better deals than larger companies.

It would be beneficial to wax afterwards. However, it is not entirely essential. Do not use wax on glass.

Since the 1990s, I have consistently purchased station waggons, namely the Vectra B, C, and Insignia A and B models. A few years ago, I believed that this kind of vehicle was no longer popular, but Audi has continued to provide them. Currently, their most desirable model is only available in the station waggon variant. Their next A6/7 is scheduled for imminent release. BMW has reentered the market for high-performance station waggons. Merc has consistently performed those tasks. Jaguar discontinued the XF estate model at the release of the second generation. However, they subsequently reintroduced it after a few years, which gives me optimism. I prefer not to have an electric vehicle due to its limited range, which is further reduced while towing. Additionally, I have reservations about relying on charging facilities at service stations.

The Peugeot 508 is currently in production, to the best of my knowledge. If this concept is successfully implemented in another model, it is quite likely that we will see a Vauxhall/Opel spin-off, since they have already executed this strategy with all of their other models.

I dedicated a considerable amount of effort to modifying my wife's CLK temperature control panel - resulting in a significant improvement. Greetings
