  1. Greetings The control unit of a 208 does not need coding and may be easily installed by just plugging it in. If the automobile was not originally equipped with the mentioned feature and it was added later, then the car itself, rather than the control unit, would need coding. In this period of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, coding was primarily used to instruct the diagnostic system to search for and scan the control unit. I am almost certain that you have a defective wiring harness. If the object in question belonged to me, I would inspect the main plug located behind the bumpers for any signs of damage on each of the wiring harnesses. I would then apply contact cleaner generously to these areas. Additionally, attempt to decipher the codes by disconnecting each loom one at a time, carefully observing any variations in the behaviour of the display lights.
  2. There was probably a shift at some point in 2010 MY between the older and newer TPMS. Reprogramming is necessary for the older devices, and AUTEL is highly recommended as an aftermarket alternative to avoid visiting the dealer.
  3. 034 Motorsports is one of our clients. Their behaviour has been manageable, although I am unaware of their pricing. It is important to consider that in addition to problematic firms, there are also problematic consumers.
  4. Thank you - I am not interested in replacing the condenser until it is absolutely necessary! The air conditioning system is now functioning well. Currently, everything is in a satisfactory state, however I am seeing the booster heater problem, which I presume is not connected to the other issues. I will endeavour to capture higher quality photographs and videos in order to provide simpler identification and location recognition. I may disassemble the air intakes and the fan surround in order to have a more comprehensive view. It is ironic that you decided to reduce your automobile use to one vehicle in order to save on taxes and insurance, only to wind up spending that money on repairs due to the car being inactive. Although you made some effort to maintain it by moving it sometimes and using a trickle charger, it seems that these measures were insufficient.
  5. Indeed, I do need the rear brake pipes to be attended to at some juncture as per the MOT. The fronts are satisfactory. I will attempt to use the wire brush, but I am concerned that it may penetrate through.
  6. Thank you. The object vanishes when it enters the area in front or behind the grille, making it difficult to track. Therefore, I am seeking assistance here in case anybody else is familiar with this phenomenon.
  7. Did you replace the air conditioning system in the W212? Do you have any suggestions or thoughts? Thank you!
  8. The rear subframe seems to be in good condition with no noticeable defects. The car remained idle with little use for almost one year. There are no rusting pipes but this one. It is unclear how you were able to see the engine bay as I only shared close-up pictures. Does anybody possess any information on this pipe?
  9. Could this be an AC pipe? (I am not optimistic)
  10. While resolving one issue with my vehicle, I see the presence of another. Due to prolonged exposure to the elements, several components of the automobile, particularly the bolt heads, exhibit signs of rust. However, I also saw a corroded pipe or junction on the left side of the vehicle, located underneath the air intake and leading into the radiator, while standing in front of the car facing the engine. I have attempted to get some images, however it is quite challenging to shoot. Maybe I will attempt to capture some video footage. Has anybody replaced this pipe? How challenging is the task? The lower section, located after the connection to the silver component, is inserted into the radiator. The more corroded pipe extends towards the front of the automobile, positioned in front of the radiator, and its ultimate destination remains unclear to me. After driving, I have not seen any coolant loss or leakage in this region. Additionally, I am experiencing an issue with the electrical heater booster, which may or may not be connected to the previous problem. Thank you.
  11. If I had to choose between these two options, and only had a choice of two years, I would definitely pick 2015 without hesitation.
  12. The mileage on my 2012 V10 with the 6 speed manual is around 45,000 miles. It serves as my everyday vehicle while I am at home. Engaging the third gear has consistently proven to be rather challenging, and while it has never failed to engage, the shifter gives the impression of potential slippage. The technician has recommended replacing the clutch, which I will go with. However, I first began the process by changing the gearbox fluid. The magnet attached to the drain plug contains a significant amount of metallic material. It seems to be a process of rebuilding or replacing a gearbox. I have attempted to locate a replacement gearbox but have been unable. I have also had difficulties in locating a shop to repair the engine on my vehicle. I am located in the Phoenix Valley. Do you have any suggestions for a reliable and trustworthy company that can reconstruct this gearbox or a source where I can get a reconstructed one for replacement? Thank you in advance, everyone!
  13. I really doubt that your insurance would provide coverage for a driver who is absolutely unconnected and undertaking a lengthy journey.
  14. The sort of off-road activity you choose depends on whether you are interested in rock or hill climbing, mud bogging, trail riding, sand dunes, etc. My first recommendation is to prioritise front-end protection and recovery for a P38, since the lower radiator is exposed. Therefore, investing in a front bumper, skid plate, and winch combination is crucial. Lighting, lift (if riding on coils), and side sliders. Ability to inflate tyres and differential locks are more important to me than a rear bumper. Some individuals heavily modify their automobiles with accessories that are seldom used, neglecting essential modifications. Understand the appropriate times and methods for using your modifications, when to activate lockers, the degree of approach/departure angle you have established, how to use your winch, and how to utilise snatch blocks. Numerous factors.
  15. I understand your perspective, but, when examining his reasons and reasoning, it is evident that DERV remains a valid proposition in his particular situation. The media has manipulated our perception to believe that they are negative, while the internet is filled with concerns over nitrogen oxide (NOX) problems and the use of ad blue. However, if you utilise ad blue in a proper manner. You are unlikely to encounter any problems. Purchase Ad blu that is well within the expiration date and replace it often, ensuring it has been kept properly. Ad blue that is 12 months old tends to crystallise and may lead to problems. Additionally, it should not be stored in direct sunlight. He intended to purchase fuel, but there are no conventional options available. Instead, only plug-in hybrids are offered, which come with a monthly leasing fee of £1100. When comparing, the cost for the diesel version is £600 per month. If I were purchasing a vehicle outright, I would not choose a diesel engine, but if I were leasing, that would not be a concern.
  16. Headlights that blind other drivers are typically misaligned, a common issue observed during the initial MOT inspection of most cars. I have contemplated purchasing a pair of these glasses for my wife, as she appears to have difficulty with oncoming cars. I did clean the interior of her windscreen, which she mentioned significantly improved visibility. Therefore, I am also curious about the efficacy of these yellow driving glasses and whether they are worth purchasing.
  17. Regrettably, I am unable to provide much assistance. I'm concerned, but have you had a pricing quote from MB? It is always advisable to inquire if they can provide any kind of discount. Yes, some individuals do. Here is a hyperlink to a specialist in body panels. However, it is unclear what the quality of their work is, and they do not specifically mention the R129 model. Nonetheless, it may be worthwhile to inquire with them. Carz2 Ltd specialises in providing professional replacement body panels. Hopefully, a somebody with expertise in this area will arrive to provide assistance.
  18. So, it amounts to an annual income of over 100,000 dollars, a weekly income of 2,100 dollars, or a daily income of 300 dollars, consistently every day. Insane. https://www.copart.co.uk/lot/37616884/clean-title-2015-mercedes-benz-e300-amg-l-chester?fbclid=IwAR1Big-0aHLHfK8zuKQAk_1JSNCDcrKu5Xqdavp9LERYYX9ksgasE371m2w
  19. If a hybrid vehicle is not a must, you may also contemplate the more straightforward option of the C300 petrol model. Our vehicle achieves an impressive fuel efficiency of 45+ miles per gallon over extended trips, while also demonstrating adequate acceleration.
