  1. Thank you, however, prior to posting on this site, it was my second attempt to pursue information regarding Google/AI. I accessed the 'service menu,' but the Adblue information was absent. In recent months, I have conducted extensive searches on Google for this matter, but found no results. I now presume that this function is only accessible through one of the diagnostic devices connected to the vehicle. I sincerely hope I am mistaken.
  2. Thank you. I attempted it a few days prior, and the AI likely referenced the W167 model; mine is the W166 model. Thank you.
  3. No, I have thoroughly examined everything; the service menu and related features are quite rudimentary.
  4. What is the method to verify the AdBlue level? The vehicle, a W166 GLE AMG-Line, was purchased new in 2016 and has a full service history from Mercedes-Benz until 2024. The automobile was serviced in 2023, and I accepted their assurance regarding its condition. The vehicle has completed just under 24,500 miles, with around 4,000 miles driven since the Mercedes-Benz service in 2024. Edit: Recently, I consulted AI on Google, which suggested examining the "service menu." This was utterly misleading, as the service menu for my vehicle is rather rudimentary.
  5. I am rather frustrated with myself for not seeing it before to purchase; it has evidently been leaking for an extended period. I will examine it tomorrow; however, there is a flex on both exhaust manifolds that I suspect may be prone to splitting over time. Uncertain whether it is a DIY task suitable for a mechanic with minimal knowledge or if it requires a specialist's intervention. The manifolds are around £250 each from Autodoc; the cost of the actual component is uncertain. Thank you.
  6. Indeed, the vertical heat shields have a distinctly powdered texture rather than an oily one. Thank you.
  7. Greetings, I acquired an X218 a few months before, and it has had many troubles, the most recent being exhaust fumes emanating from the back of the engine and into the cockpit. The heat shields are furthermore black. My study suggests that I likely have a leaking exhaust manifold; however, I cannot determine which side it is without removing all the intakes. Could this be anything else? Is this a common issue, and what is the typical cost for the repair? Thank you
  8. The pump's full cut-off is activated by the absence of air in the car's filling tube when the tank reaches capacity. When the pump nozzle is correctly placed, which is necessary to dispense gasoline into my vehicle, I have not experienced any fuel leaks. It is essential to recognize that the gasoline filler system has a canister mechanism designed to absorb vapors, which may get saturated if the tank is overfilled or 'brimmed'; thus, it is advisable not to exceed the first click while filling. When calculating gasoline usage, I attempt to return to the same pump and rely on the sensor's constant functionality.
  9. If it consumes double the amount of gasoline, it would be unpleasant, to say the least. Conduct a smoke test on the intake, followed by an examination of live data to identify any emerging issues.
  10. Vehicle scheduled for Tuesday. I possess sufficient charge to reach the destination, but not an excess - therefore, let us hope for a resolution!
  11. Thank you. I contacted the dealer, who said that the release cord operates the charging door; but, as you indicated, it does not. It is very frustrating that I am unable to use the automobile due to such a little issue. I will contact the dealer tomorrow.
  12. Thank you. I am exhausting all options. A manual release cable is located under the hood and seems to be loose. Inquiring if it is inhibiting the release of the "charging cover door lock." The RAC is declining assistance, citing that I possess sufficient charge to reach the nearby dealer, however insufficient for my intended activities today or tomorrow. I will provide an update if I get a solution.
  13. I am consulting the manual, and the vehicle is evidently unlocked. Typically, it opens when squeezed, however it remains immovable...
  14. There is a legitimate kit available on eBay; however, it contains less oil and lacks certain additional components.
  15. Indeed, it is the correct one. Extremely beneficial video.
  16. I am uncertain whether mine includes one; they provide the same equipment with varying quantities of oil, based upon the ability to drain the torque converter. I believe this 10L equipment is excessive, however I am certain to spill some, among other issues.
  17. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404935639437?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=jge0npugr_m&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=8DrH8hsQTIO&stype=1&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  18. Greetings everyone, I intend to utilise the Meyle service kit for my gearbox, which includes new magnets, a gasket, a filter and 10 litres of blue gearbox oil. Does anyone have reviews regarding this Meyle kit? It is more economical than purchasing directly from MB and includes a new torque converter drain bolt, magnets, and the overflow straw for the drain. The quality appears to be high, at least according to several conversions; I am merely seeking additional confirmation. Salutations.
  19. Excellent - I am traditional and greatly favour a full-size spare; but, a space-saver tire is a reasonable compromise. Upon examining the front brake callipers, I doubt that an 18" space saver would be compatible. I am curious whether I can obtain a foam insert to ensure security and prevent it from rattling. Does it conform to the rectangular dimensions of your boot's compartment? I will need to retrieve the tape measure. I must also consider the diameter, as my vehicle is equipped with 4MATIC, which may be adversely affected if it deviates significantly.
  20. Thank you - it required an entire day to go to and from the destination. Returned last night. I will clean it, enhance its appearance, and upload some photographs here. I anticipated a space saver; but, it is equipped with run-flat tires, specifically OE fitment Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3, measuring 275 in the rear and 245 in the front. Somewhat extreme in my opinion. There is neither a can of adhesive nor a compressor available. Is there a 17/18 space saver available? Additionally considering the value of acquiring a set of winter wheels. I have consistently had them accessible in my past vehicles. Although the winters have appeared less severe in recent years.
  21. No longer necessary. I acquired a 2019 E400D 4MATIC with the Premium Plus package. It is now necessary to acquire proficiency in using all those features and functionalities.
