The code provided by the machine would be beneficial.

Do you own an extra wheel? A jack would only be provided if a spare wheel was available.

Are my wheels the original factory colour?

Thank you for the kind welcome and the advise; I will certainly follow it! -

ByteStorm replied to ByteStorm's topic in General Discussions
I believe you may be correct; I suspect they are not the original hue. In some areas where chipping occurs, a raw metal finish is visible underneath; yet, a few minor chips reveal a glossier silver appearance. Regrettably, I am unable to locate any wheel colour references on the internet VIN decoder websites. I have requested a report detailing the car's original specifications from Mercedes, but I doubt they will provide it. Let us observe! Thank you for the information. -

Thank you for providing information; I will investigate the possibility of extracting it from the VIN. Thank you very much! -
Greetings to everyone I have recently acquired my first Mercedes-Benz, a 2016 C220d, and I am quite pleased with it! The former owner said that the wheels were a factory hue, but I am uncertain. I intend to get a touch-up pen. Is it a regular factory colour? Does anybody know the formal designation?

A common error with BMW parts schematics.

I would assert that option number two is preferable, considering the configuration and routing of the wire.

Both malfunctions pertain to a single sensor. The heater circuit will be nonfunctional.

Pre-cat bank two.

I reloaded the Kia Connect application two days before. I have seen that there is an absence of data under car diagnostics. Do you know the duration for it to appear or whether any synchronisation is required on the vehicle for functionality? All other information is satisfactory; however, I have misplaced the previous consumption data.
-
Did the errors manifest immediately after the sensor replacement or after a week? subsequently. I enquire because I performed this task on a 320d and failed to secure the wire correctly, resulting in the same warnings reappearing a week later after the wire had worn through. It was only a consideration.

The sensor is somewhat plug-and-play; however, adaptations must be reset after changes to prevent DDE from seeking the previous sensor's results. What led you to conclude that the issue was only the sensor and not another factor?
-
The diagnostics indicated a rail pressure sensor issue, but have problems with the actual pressure been excluded? What was the precise code you possessed? Did you reset the adaptations after modifying the sensor?

V10 Plus R8 - tuning, exhaust, e85, and dyno specs?
ByteStorm replied to TDudette's topic in General Discussions
A normally aspirated engine does not see significant power gains from using e85 fuel, unlike turbocharged and supercharged engines which benefit more from it. I will be astonished if anybody has taken that particular course of action NA. -
Optimal positioning of the turbo-catalyst gasket
ByteStorm replied to dave783's topic in General Discussions
I advise against it, since you wouldn't want anything contaminating the catalytic converter or diesel particulate filter. -
Optimal positioning of the turbo-catalyst gasket
ByteStorm replied to dave783's topic in General Discussions
The most recent EGR coolers installed during the recall also received a gasket at that junction. -
Optimal positioning of the turbo-catalyst gasket
ByteStorm replied to dave783's topic in General Discussions
The tiny tabs on the inner edge should be bent at a 90-degree angle to the gasket face. They fasten the turbo side securely to keep it in position. As far as I recall, the concave side should be positioned against the turbo. -
It seems that you may have accidentally dropped it from the automobile. If I were in your position and you had not yet found it, I would recommend having that key decoded. If the item was left in your vehicle, it is possible that someone may have taken it with the intention of stealing the automobile at a later time. if the engine is started and the key is within range, the vehicle will continue to operate indefinitely. However, if the engine is stopped, it cannot be restarted until the key is again within range.

Inquiry about service plan and personalised registration number
ByteStorm replied to Mistral's topic in General Discussions
In my experience, Mercedes does not have a direct connection to the DVLA. For a long time, my personal license plate remained associated with my old E Coupe on Mercedes websites. It was only after I had my vehicle serviced at the shop was it finally updated to my current GLC. While it is possible to manually modify certain information using the MercedesMe app, these changes do not have any effect on the main Mercedes websites.
