The smoke machine, along with a reliable scan tool and real-time data, will make pinpointing easier. To test whether the problem lies with the pump or the cracked pipe, try disconnecting the fuel line that runs from the high-pressure pump to the fuel rail; in rare cases, this may work.

Well done, you've ruled out that avenue 👍.

They were all removed from a running vehicle, and the sensors that were in there were likewise tested on the running vehicle and found to be in working order.

You need compression levels above 190 psi for a turbo, which is currently low. I find it interesting that brake cleaner/easy start only moistens the plugs, yet having spark is helpful. Were the sensors you swapped out OEM parts from a local retailer or authentic BMW parts? I won't claim otherwise, but with all the fake stuff floating around, it's worth verifying.

ey there! I just acquired a 2007 R56 Cooper S. The test drive was great, however the seller wanted it gone fast because he was going on a six-month work trip (which I verified). Any advice? We drove out after agreeing on a price—which was ridiculously low—but the vehicle suddenly stopped working on me after just 4.6 miles.I am an old-school mechanic who is familiar with carbs and distributors, so I thought this would be easy. However, it ran out of fuel when I was on a busy road, and I tried to start it until the battery died. Now, two weeks later, I have bought a second-running R56 Chevy to try to fix it. It starts up and runs smoothly, but that's about it. Following is a rundown of everything I've done thus far; I've swapped out all the parts for runners and it still operates, however a quick Google search revealed that the HPFP change was unsuccessful. The reader displays 27ce codes. Revised hpfp Revised lpfp to Vanos solenoid replaced Replaced the camera's sensor Modified maf sensors I used the setting tool to verify the timing, and it was perfect. During priming and cranking, 12v at LPFP Ignite all four spark plugs Has the sensation of exhaust pressure when turning the crank Cold compression test results show 155 to 166 psi. I use the easy start method, however it only moistens the plugs. Both horsepower and torque gages show fuel rail pressures of 1.3 mpa on the reader and 5.1 mpa on the runner. The only sensors I haven't switched out yet are the ones for fuel rail pressure and crank, and now I don't know what to do. Who can provide me a hand?

Sadly, no; he's firmly putting his foot down. What a shame, because that car is just stunning. I simply do not believe it at this time.

Defeating the dealers is not an easy task. If you are in the UK, I hope a strongly worded letter referencing the Consumer Rights Act would be enough.

My research online indicated that these were tty bolts, so I appreciate your confirming that. Stretch or not, the assembly was a major letdown. It is a matter of trading standards because the dealer is also refusing to accept returns. Buddy, I really appreciate you sharing that information.

Since these are not stretch bolts, you can reuse them provided you get the correct part and keep it straight. But it seems like it hasn't followed the exact fitting sequence that is required.

The question I have is whether any technicians are available to provide me any advice. It just took a few hours after I bought my 2014 Outlander for the top injector to pop. During my investigation, I found that one of the three bolts wasn't even an injector bolt, the other two were twisted, and the retention bolt on the right side was missing. This shambles because the dealer just got a chain and balance shaft. Were those bolts supposed to be changed out when the chain was being worked on? 103,00 miles According to him, they can be reused, according to his "Mitsubishi trained mechanic." Apparently, that included the one that wasn't an injector bolt. Much obliged in advance!

Is the water in the battery compartment of the boot related in any way? It appears unusual because I am unable to determine its source.

Checked it out, mate. The battery is OK; I just got a new one.

Determine the voltage of the battery.

Greetings everyone, Unfortunately, my 2006 E64 does not have comfort access. The vehicle was operating smoothly; I disabled it, locked it, etc. After getting back in, I tried turning the key, but the engine still wouldn't start or crank. The symbol "key not detected" is displayed. Even with the spare key, I was unable to get the car to start today; the dashboard lights came on, but there was no symbol. Can you offer any recommendations?

Yes, they should be commended. I didn't have high hopes because my previous interactions with other manufacturers were less than stellar. The response was rapid and comprehensive. Above everything else, it was successful 😄.

The Mercedes Me support staff is top-notch; whenever I've had an issue, I've received prompt and informative responses: email: [email protected]

It is the API level ntg6/081 version of the software. Based on what I could tell from the navigation, the original date was 2019, and the most recent upgrade was in 2019. In addition to posting here, I messaged Mercedes, and they responded with a really useful response. They claim that future over-the-air updates will not occur if there have been problems with earlier ones. Next time, the update should be automatic, but for now, I'll have to manually apply it. I now have a complete upgrade on a USB stick, and the instructions were really detailed, which is unusual these days. My next step is to locate an adaptor that will allow the USB stick to connect to the USB c port in my vehicle. Finally, I'm almost there. By the way, my car doesn't have an SD card.

That will guide you step-by-step. Our vehicle can detect when an SD card is inserted with an updated map. It displays both the current version installed in the vehicle and the new version on the card.

With COMAND NTG 5.5, our 2019 C Class is only pre-MBUX, but you can see the map version in the options. I believe it can be found in the Navigation menu and on the main page of the system settings. Because of how long it takes for OTA map updates to load, I usually just use Mercedes Me on my computer to download them to an SD card, and then I install them in the car that way. A USB stick might work as well, though I haven't tested that.

I appreciate your response. It is a B Class from 2019. The version is unknown to me, but it's MBUX. Where can I look for this? I do in fact own the Mercedes Me app.

It would be helpful if you could identify the infotainment system you have, such as COMAND MBUX 6, so we can figure out how to verify the maps version. To begin, the Datacard is an excellent choice. Additionally, the infotainment system may begin downloading when you notice an emblem like an arrow atop a vehicle, albeit this will vary from system to system. Are you also in possession of the Mercedes-me app?

A fresh map update "will be downloaded automatically over the air and installed without visiting a dealer," according to an email I received from Mercedes. A comparable email has previously been sent to me. If it does occur, how can I tell? How can I determine the version number to see if it's up-to-date? I have not yet found it, despite my best efforts.

During the interior lighting upgrades I had in June, I was offered this potential option. Connecting a new module to the rear of the sat nav makes no change in terms of screen size—wired or wireless—in the absence of the module. In a nutshell, Google says it all. How to Install Android Auto with a Full Screen Smart Integration Boxes for Aftermarket Use: These covert hardware modules eliminate the need to cut wires by plugging into the rear of your original head unit. They operate in tandem to circumvent the split-screen restriction, allowing you to enjoy full-screen Android Auto on your big OEM screen. When you want to return to the original Mercedes menu, just hold down the "Back" button on the OEM controller. [1, 2, 3] OBD / Activation of Software: Expert suppliers provide OBD2 plug-in programmers or firmware upgrades that recode the COMAND NTG 5.5 unit to display full widescreen ratios if your Mercedes has factory half-screen capability enabled via USB. This business that performed my upgrades and provided full-screen Android Auto is located quite a ways from Stockport, and it would be more convenient to have it done there.
