  1. After investing significant effort on preparing my SEC for the MOT, it has unexpectedly started experiencing severe performance issues upon starting. The button initiates flawlessly and remains in a state of perfect idleness. Nevertheless, the engine fails to increase its revolutions and instead slows down, ultimately refusing to operate at full capacity. Once it has reached a higher temperature, the weather will become clear, but it is not optimal. After replacing the gasoline pump, filter, and lines, the vehicle initially functioned well. However, it has lately begun to have issues. Do you have any suggestions about the first place to search?
  2. That is intriguing. I have no recollection of encountering any information about a valet key in relation to my own possession. I am curious whether it has the capability to save data such as service intervals or other related information extracted from the automobile. If it does not, then the specific key supplied to a garage is inconsequential. Thank you, gentlemen!
  3. Thank you for these individuals. Typically, I have mostly used the 1 key, reserving the spare key just for instances when the vehicle is taken to a garage or similar location. Regarding this matter, if the spare key, which has not been used much, is scanned at a dealership, will it provide the same information as the primary key? I am inquiring about the specific data that is stored in the key.
  4. I am curious about the prevailing opinion about the utilisation of both keys. Specifically, I am interested in whether it is more advantageous to exclusively use one key while keeping the other as a backup, or to rotate between both keys as the primary one on a regular basis, such as every few weeks or months. I understand that automobile data are stored in the key, but I am curious whether switching keys would have a negative impact on this information. Please provide your opinions.
  5. Apologies. My first recommendation is to acknowledge that this endeavour may need a significant amount of time and make an effort to align your mindset accordingly. My intention is to express agreement or affirmation.With just benevolent aims. I'm certain that there are other individuals on this platform that can provide you with technical guidance.
  6. One must possess boldness and entitlement to make comments about other individuals' vehicles. For goodness' sake.
  7. To explore a cost-effective solution for replacement components, consider fully charging the battery and replacing the DPF pressure sensor with an authentic Mercedes device. It seems that I had similar symptoms, which did not involve the production of code that could be replicated. Occasionally, resetting the automobile by turning it off and on may resolve the error. It became more consistent. The problem seems to have been resolved with the installation of my new DPF pressure sensor.
  8. I increased the rating of my just based on the daily use. In addition, I own an enhanced audio system and often engage in activities such as listening to music or conducting tests in my garage with the ignition key on. Anticipate that the additional juice might be useful.
  9. I also purchased mine via Michel. I chose a H6/60ah battery and I am quite satisfied with my decision. The jump start capability provides a reassuring guarantee of never having to be concerned about my battery's power again. Additionally, there is the added benefit of weight reduction. 40 pounds is a substantial weight, and its impact on your back becomes apparent as you feel the strain of hauling it out of the frunk.
  10. What is the price of this item? Is it a manual? I have noticed that Kia is increasing the pricing of its authorised used cars. Why do you have a dislike for the colour black?
  11. The price is now £17,500, but there may be room for negotiation. The car has been driven for 89,000 kilometres. What are your thoughts?
  12. While I wouldn't go as far as calling him a close friend, I do consider him a decent acquaintance. We have purchased family automobiles from him in the past. However, I just want to ensure that the price he is offering is not unrealistically low. I have a strong affinity for my S-Class vehicle, but it does not align with my own identity. I am in need of a more powerful and formidable automobile. I should not have heeded my wife's advice and purchased it first.
  13. I have developed a strong affection for my friend's C63, since he is involved in the business of selling cars. He has had several inquiries for it, but he said that if I can get the necessary funds, he would reserve it for me for a few of weeks. He is capable of doing a P\X transaction, but the price offered is significantly low. Therefore, he intends to sell the automobile to "We Buy Any Car" if he is unable to get the necessary funds promptly, since they are offering a reasonable price for the vehicle. Before I get into this matter, what are the primary concerns that I should be cautious of? The automobile is priced attractively, therefore I want to ensure that there are no suspicious activities involved. Thank you.
  14. Perhaps Bimmercode has configurable features that can be activated.
  15. Utilise the hidden menu to initiate the dash self-test? Google and YouTube
  16. Inspect the discs for any deviation from a perfectly round shape - displace the brake pads and rotate the discs. It is preferable to have a dial gauge, however if you are seeing significant vibration, it should be easily noticeable. Additionally, inspect the wheel bearings while you are doing the task. As previously mentioned, rust or debris may be present at the interface between the mounting face and the hub. Can you please verify once more? If you are certain that the discs are not the source of the problem, you may proceed to investigate other factors. The occurrence of the identical problem with two different sets of discs leads me to doubt that the actual component is the probable reason. I must admit that I have had a considerable number of automobiles, including more than 20 Mercedes-Benz vehicles. However, I have encountered problems with warped or out-of-specification discs just once, to the best of my recollection.
  17. It seems that the battery was indeed the cause of the issue, since replacing it in the malfunctioning fob resolved the problem and everything returned to its regular state. Was the difference due to the use of a Duracell battery?
  18. UPDATE - I replaced the battery in the malfunctioning fob with another spare battery, and to my surprise, both fobs are now functioning properly. Thank you to all who took the time to react with their views.
  19. Greetings, has anybody had a similar issue? One of the keys for my C250 Convertible no longer operates the windows or controls the roof, while the other key still functions properly. By default, I am using a versatile key that performs several functions. However, I am experiencing issues with the key's behaviour, which is somewhat exasperating. I am curious if there is a means to rectify this problem. Could it be a matter of programming the key? If so, how can it be done? No solutions were found on YouTube.
  20. Recently, many ordinary, outdated Mercedes vehicles have been selling for prices lower than expected. I am curious to ascertain the revenue generated by this particular item.
  21. For those who like do-it-yourself projects, the amount of information available on modifications for this platform and website is fairly restricted. For the Gen 2, I only found one comprehensive post specifically addressing the process of doing an oil change, which is a quite straightforward task. The user's text indicates a lack of information on the transfer case and gearbox fluids, as well as a lack of guidance on how to change brake pads. If you are interested in modifying the exterior of your vehicle, it is important to note that the availability of parts may be relatively restricted to a select few companies. If you do not engage in do-it-yourself activities, then none of the information provided is relevant to you. I am pleased with my purchase of a high-quality vehicle.
  22. Understandable, I made that statement since almost every GTR that comes in my automated search on AT has been modified by Litchfield. Therefore, I would assert that they are still rather popular.
  23. Do you have anything to support your claim that the JDM tuning scene has ceased to exist at Litchfield?
  24. To remove the residue left on the automobile, you may apply heat to it and then easily peel it off using a powerful adhesive tape, such as gaffer tape. I did not need the use of any solvent or remover on the two items I have worked on, one of which was brand new and the other was 7 years old. Additionally, I would like to offer a piece of advise - refrain from posting the same question in many sections of the forum. 😉
