  1. More power, torque, reduced taxes, and higher mileage are available with the M276 engine, which he should try to get his hands on. I drove it in a turbocharged 2016 E400 and a 2012 E350 coupe. Nothing has gone wrong in the seven years that we've had it, with the exception of the fact that the original nox senors were chocolate.
  2. The source of water pooling inside a vehicle is not always obvious. First thing I would do is check the front drains, which are located right behind the bonnet hinges, to see if they are clogged. Water can seep in via the opening and end up at the back of some cars even though it doesn't seem to be wet up front. In addition, I would look under the vehicle for any damaged or missing rubber components, such as grommets or bungs used for workshop jacks, that might potentially cause damage to the floorpan or sills. After that, I was wondering if your vehicle was a cabriolet or a fixed head coupe. Are there any sunroofs on it? Should inspect sunroof drains and seals. The next set of seals are for the doors and windows, and lastly, the boot and the back light. The carpets may need to be removed, which can be a pain, and then someone should spray the car with a hose while you keep an eye on it for signs of water seepage. It may take some time to figure these things out. The bright side is that summer is almost here, and with it, a string of dry months.
  3. A complete flush kit that I bought from Mercedes on eBay recently freed my C220 from being mired in second gear and rendering the vehicle useless. All new parts, including seals, plug, contact plate, and 5 litres of genuine ATF, came to around £75. Since my garage took care of the flush, everything has been great. I would suggest trying it out with a smaller sum first.
  4. I recognised the familiarity; it has prompted my recollection. It appears that AI still has considerable progress to make.
  5. Artificial Intelligence proposes this. The purple square including a vertical line and a star symbol (which manifests as a purple vertical line and a star on the display) signifies a sensor or electronic control unit alert in your Mercedes W205. This is a generic alert, frequently associated with a malfunction in a particular system, and it is generally accompanied by an additional message on the dashboard that delineates the precise issue. Proposed Measures Verify for an associated message: The primary dashboard interface will probably exhibit language (e.g., "Inoperative", "Refer to Owner's Manual") elucidating the particular system experiencing a malfunction (e.g., Active Brake Assist, ESP, or a designated sensor). Reinitiate the vehicle. Occasionally, the problem may stem from a transient electronic malfunction that can be rectified by powering down the vehicle, removing the key for around 30 seconds, and thereafter restarting the engine. Exercise vigilance while driving: This indicator, when yellow or purple, indicates caution rather than an immediate red-level safety danger, allowing you to proceed to a safe place or an authorised repair facility. Seek the assistance of a technician: Due to the symbol's ambiguity, a diagnostic scan tool (OBD-II scanner) is required to ascertain the exact error code and root cause.
  6. The system will employ alternative characteristics to assess attentiveness, even in the absence of a camera. Erratic steering manoeuvres or frequent contact with lane markings may signify driver weariness or distraction.
  7. Understood. In either case, a camera is absent.
  8. You lack a Premium Plus subscription. There is no camera present, and your dashboard trim is composed of a different material.
  9. Do you not observe the dot on the screen's edge shown by the image in the manual? That is the cover for the camera lens.
  10. It is premature to proceed with the remap; diagnostics must be conducted to ensure the system's health, since a vacuum problem may be impairing turbo functionality. I would not consider removing the DPF; some years ago it may have been feasible, but current regulations are stringent, making it not worth the inconvenience.
  11. That does not seem to exceed the maximum level; it only resembles an oil residue. If it were over the maximum, the maximum indicator would also be coated in oil.
  12. The level on the dipstick is OK; disregard the notification and replace the level sensor during the next oil change. My previous 330d often displayed the warning, even though the oil level was enough; I replaced the sensor during the servicing.
  13. One more unit on the chain. Seek a more competent garage; I doubt that the current one has the requisite knowledge. Did the steering lock engage while the vehicle was turned off and still in motion?
  14. I removed the driver door panel; the video provided by the individual is excellent. The door doorknob was broken. I used a drill bit, but not the drill machine, to sever the plastic rivets. Consider everything that I accomplished in 2021-2022; the door handle was accompanied by 20 washers. I conducted a brief search and obtained two or three items. Removed the handle panel from the main panel. To detach the damaged handle, it is necessary to drill out the handle spindle or rivet, which is a challenging task. The most effective method I used was to utilize a hacksaw to remove the door handle, which subsequently revealed the spindle or rivet. This allowed for direct drilling. Inserted the replacement handle, drilled the screw holes in the door panel, reinstalled it in the vehicle, and it works perfectly. I took my time. 11:30 until 18:00, with a thirty-minute intermission. It might have been accomplished more swiftly, although... No clips were broken; everything functions properly and is reassembled as if I had never been there. Thank you everyone for your assistance and time. Wishing you a nice weekend. The Glastonbury Festival is occurring.pulp now. Exercise caution when driving. and converse with you once again.
