  1. No, the service was not provided by MB, a local expert. The airbag was replaced and the emissions were rejected around one year ago.
  2. Appears satisfactory, consistent, without abrupt declines, evidently need a significant amount of time to reach the lower Temos at now, but not readily apparent.
  3. Greetings, everybody. It is well acknowledged that fuel efficiency experiences a decline during the winter season. However, I want to conduct a series of inspections to identify any other factors that may be contributing to these issues. Presently, I am encountering difficulties in surpassing a fuel efficiency of 54mpg, although at this period in the previous year, I effortlessly achieved a fuel efficiency of 60mpg. The user has recently undergone tyre replacement (specifically Bridgestone Potenza tyres with an A/B grade), tracking, and a service. This week, I will be undergoing a gearbox repair that is somewhat overdue (5k). I believe this will provide some assistance. However, I am curious whether I might connect my iCars to get real-time data in order to determine if there is an injector or if the motor oil is depleted. I have not seen any decline in performance or instances of failure, suggesting that the situation may be both significant and inconsequential. Where can I get instructions, numerical resources, or any indications on what to search for? I am proficient at disassembling components, but less skilled in assembling components. Highly valued.
  4. The cost for all four sensors is $239. A few years back, I purchased four brand-new non-OEM replacements from Ebay for a total cost of $67. These replacements were intended for my aftermarket winter rims, and they have been functioning well. I did not need the assistance of the dealer; instead, I used the iDrive to prompt the system to acknowledge and identify them.
  5. At now, I cover around 200 miles annually in my vehicle, which is mostly kept in a garage and not used often. Considering the current cost of $1,100 for an oil/oil filter replacement performed by a dealer, what is the recommended frequency for oil changes?
  6. The VCDs cable connects to your laptop and the OBD2 port.
  7. I concur with OZ wheels and have them installed on my SLK55.
  8. Mercedes introduced this model 50,000 years ago. It seems unlikely that the issue is related to a simple oil change.
  9. Hello everyone I own a 2007 E320 CDi V6 diesel automatic vehicle experiencing a gearbox issue. I would value your insights on this matter. Recently, the vehicle has been experiencing issues where it would remain in a high gear with reduced drive, similar to a sliding clutch, or become stuck in a low ratio while accelerating. After a brief start and stop of the ignition, everything was functioning well for many hundred kilometres. Resetting it last night was ineffective, and now there is a sharp engagement when shifting into forward or reverse, similar to my previous Range Rovers, where it engages abruptly. Any suggestions? We have a few mercenaries who specialise in Mercedes vehicles, as well as professionals in gearboxes. The automobile has low mileage (110k) and a complete history. I would want to retain it, but not at the expense of purchasing another car. Any assistance would be very appreciated. Thank you
  10. Water infiltration might possibly be the reason for the electrical issues with your inside light.
  11. The vintage style is fantastic. The inside seems to have aged really nicely.
  12. I now own a Mercedes-Benz E350d with 60,000 miles, which is equivalent to an E400d. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145608495033?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338181125&toolid=10001&customid=2518X1570512X9d0a7b3ad0fe1301e8920235c9131a84
  13. The eBay 'does this fit your vehicle' feature is well known for its poor quality. Retrieve the part number and do a search using that specific identifier.
  14. Affirmative, it activates both the inside rear glass and the engine bay glass.
  15. The one on the left is designated for the windscreen. The right one is intended for the back glass.
  16. Indeed, it is customary to incur charges for the interim service, as long as no more work is required, and it is more cost-effective compared to the comprehensive service. Presumably, this is your first encounter with Toyota.
  17. Applying enough pressure on the brake pedal allows for the pedal to be released while maintaining the braking force. It is uncertain whether this feature is present in all automobiles, but it is functional in my vehicle.
  18. If you engage the reverse gear, the camera activates and erases the message.
  19. I attempted to pilfer women's nail varnish remover and received a forceful smack across the face as a consequence. While I was in Starbucks, she was attending to me.
  20. I do not believe that you were deceived, but rather that you have experienced unfortunate circumstances. In retrospect, it would have been advisable to exert more effort in obtaining a diagnostic for the automobile while it was still covered by warranty. However, it is now too late to take any action. Based on prior accounts shared here, it is very unlikely that MB would provide any assistance in repairing an 11.5-year-old vehicle that is no longer under warranty. It is safe to assume that such assistance may be disregarded. I would advise not engaging with used engines unless you possess the necessary skills to do the required tasks independently. Dispose of your automobile by selling it for its individual parts or for repair purposes, accept the financial loss, and go on.
  21. I get your sentiment, since it may really be a formidable undertaking when doing it for the first time. If I am able to locate a supplier based in the United Kingdom, I will most probably undertake this endeavour in the month of January, since I will not be engaged in any professional activities and will be experiencing a sense of ennui.
  22. Great, I am forward to hear your results. After having performed this task on my 5-series, I am certainly inclined to repeat it on my 6-series.
  23. Apologies for the mistake, here is the correct link: https://bmods.co.uk/product-category/bmw-androids/
  24. I purchased one of these products for my F10 5-series vehicle and it performed really well. Regrettably, they do not provide a product specifically designed for the F13 model. From an electronics standpoint, it is quite probable that it will function without any issues. However, the primary concern would be the mounting process.
