  1. Typically, there are two options available: the Classic or Executive variation, which has a more comfortable suspension and a higher ride height, and the Sport or AMG Line model, which has larger wheels, a firmer suspension, and a lower ride height. Hopefully, this information proves beneficial.
  2. Tomorrow, I will get it examined by an automotive electrician.
  3. Thank you. I will investigate it. Can this issue persist even in the absence of an activated airbag light?
  4. Greetings, individuals. I value all the responses. The airbag warning light is not illuminated.
  5. Greetings, everyone. The vehicle in question is a 2006 Mercedes A Class Auto 3dr Avantgarde 1.5 petrol W169. A period of time had elapsed. Commenced the task once again. The battery is functioning well. Recently had brake replacement and servicing. Operates OK, but, the indicators, horn, and full beam are non-functional. The technician is unable to reset the service light due to the malfunctioning of the other steering controls. Indicators are activated when the dangers are activated. Curious. Could someone provide some clarification on this matter (sorry for the pun haha). Is it possible that the issue lies with the control module? Assistance would be very appreciated. Thank you.
  6. Additionally, thoroughly inspect and assess the condition of the wiper blades to ensure they are still in optimal working order.
  7. I am part of a small group or have a viewpoint that is not shared by the majority, which makes me feel sad. I believe it is excellent.Three autos have been using bananas for many years no issues
  8. Consider the possibility of another identified defect in which the oil cooler may allow coolant to seep into the gearbox. It would be advisable to have this matter inspected, if possible.
  9. The symptoms described suggest that the issue may be related to the conductor plate. Initially, the problem may manifest in one gear, but with time it tends to deteriorate. My launch diagnostic did not provide any results, however maybe other kinds of diagnostics can provide more information. I had the issue diagnosed at my nearby Mercedes shop, but the diagnostic test did not reveal any problems. However, to be honest, they cannot be relied upon to adequately secure the wheels in that place.
  10. Will the issue resolve itself if you apply much more pressure? It is possible that the issue lies with either the conductor plate or the oil seal on the multi plug.
  11. Under such circumstances, the windows need to be closed partially, allowing for a small opening to facilitate airflow. Are you certain that they are completely closing?
  12. I inquired about the behaviour of the windows when the sunroof is tilted to vent. Specifically, I wanted to know whether the windows completely shut in this scenario.
  13. Do you happen to have the sunroof slightly open as well?
  14. Appears impressive from a distance, but lacks quality upon closer inspection. 😉🙂
  15. I own a pressure washer and ramps. Additionally, I have a driveway constructed with stock bricks that have an aesthetically pleasing appearance, devoid of any mud accumulation, much like me. There is a programme available at a BP garage in Ashford that specifically does chassis cleaning, rather than steaming. I inquired about if it also cleansed the upper surface, and the response was affirmative. Therefore, I am rejecting the option of using revolving brushes on my painting. Given the rural setting, there is no need to do the task until the arrival of spring.
  16. Does anybody have information on where I can get steam cleaning services for the underbelly of a vehicle in Ashford or Maidstone? While having new tyres installed at Lepsons yesterday, I saw that the underbelly of the vehicle may benefit from some refurbishment after 5 years. Unfortunately, I am unable to do this task with a hosepipe.
  17. I have developed a consistent practice of keeping my vehicle keys in my pocket when I am at home. However, on occasion, I mistakenly open the trunk of my car, as informed by my neighbour. This situation arises when my wife's vehicle keys inadvertently displace my inside my pocket. I had a problem with my prior BMW and resolved it by purchasing the official key sleeve provided by the company. Has anybody else had this issue and attempted to resolve it by using the Mercedes Key Sleeve (part B66958412)? The BMW leather material exhibited sufficient rigidity to mitigate inadvertent button activation, however the Mercedes design deviates somewhat in this regard.
  18. Using baby wipes wrapped around a lollipop stick is an effective method for cleaning around window buttons and similar areas.
  19. Are you decreasing the distance for the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) to 1? If other vehicles are entering that insufficient area, it is advisable for you to retreat. It is quite improbable that any automated system would let you to drive in such close proximity at a high velocity. Personally, I have a strong affinity for my Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and I am resolute in my decision to only purchase vehicles equipped with this feature in the future. I have only experienced my device activating in response to a car, and not for any other reason. However, my present vehicle is equipped with the first generation Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and it is possible that its behaviour may vary.
  20. Once you use it, you will never revert to your previous ways. Initially, it may need some skill - release the brake after coming to a full stop, then apply a quick and forceful tap on the brake pedal. The acronym "HOLD" will be shown on the dashboard.
  21. The blue one at the top is registered in Gauteng Province, located in the 'dry' highveld region, which implies that it should be free from rust. On the other hand, the CCC one is registered in Cape Town, which is situated by the sea.
  22. Many automobiles are converted into pickup trucks, but what I find intriguing are the instances when a manufacturer in a certain nation identifies a market need and proceeds to only produce pickup trucks for that market. Similar to Ford's actions in South Africa, MB... Alright, everyone, we have discussed Ford enough at this point.
