  1. Attempt to reset the gearbox and let it to adapt to your driving style.
  2. Occasionally, doing a power cycle may effectively restore the system to its default state. The issue you are experiencing may be due to the engine and not related to the gearbox.

  4. Which diagnostic method was employed? I believe that ista is the optimal toolkit for doing investigations.
  5. What scanning method did you use, since general methods might overlook or provide deceptive results. Given that the issue is resolved by turning the device off and on, it indicates a potential electrical problem, maybe related to the turbo Variable Nozzle Turbine (VNT).
  6. Indeed, it is much delayed. I had mistakenly believed that it was completed not too long ago. I have just purchased an authentic repair kit that includes new bolts. I will now do some research to find the appropriate torque values.
  7. Currently, I am examining my records and I have one entry from 2017 with a mileage of 31,000. Additionally, the oil and filter were recently replaced. My visual perception is limited, thus I believe that the alteration has occurred just once.
  8. The car's service history is not fully documented by Mercedes. It is a 2014 model with 58,000 km on the odometer. I will verify the information promptly upon my arrival at home.
  9. Greetings, everybody. Today, I took my vehicle to have the alignment done. However, I had an issue where the car was just revving and not moving forward. To resolve this, I alternated between selecting reverse and drive a few times. After doing so, the car functioned well for the whole round trip of around 45 miles. I applied sufficient acceleration throughout the journey and experienced no more issues. After let the vehicle idle for around 5 hours, I attempted to drive it around the block and saw that it is experiencing the same issue of limited forward movement. It seems similar to the sensation of a sliding clutch in a manual car. Although there are no illuminated indicators on the dashboard, my buddy has kindly offered to lend me his diagnostic scanner tomorrow in the expectation that it would reveal any potential issues. However, I am certain that resolving the problem will need the expertise of a professional. Has anybody else experienced this previously? I have made a reservation to go to Germany in a few weeks and I am feeling really anxious.
  10. The audio quality of vehicles equipped with the tune2air device I use is subpar. However, it is not prone to glitches. When I drive, I usually use headphones for phone conversations since it is much superior. Congratulations on your enhancements.
  11. However, it is uncommon for individuals to return them, even if they have defects. Instead, they often opt for a partial refund and send the item to a repair facility. The explanation is evident: they had already disposed of their previous automobile and returning the new one would leave them without a vehicle. Not all auto salespeople exhibit such behaviour, just to clarify... I did not!
  12. Personally, I am unwilling to purchase a vehicle without physically seeing it first. However, I understand the attractiveness of such a proposition for those who are not very interested in cars.
  13. These products may have been acquired by unauthorised access to someone's Amazon account, with the intention of intercepting the delivery at your front door when the truck comes. If the scanners lost access to the Amazon account prior to the delivery of the products, they were unable to determine the location of the Amazon van and hence incapable of intercepting the deliveries.
  14. I have experienced a similar instance of deception. I purchased a set of tools from a website that ultimately proved to be an illegitimate replica of the genuine website. The toolbox failed to appear; instead, I got counterfeit jewels from China. In summary, a kind woman from China clarified that the scammers manipulated my purchase by substituting it with a much less valuable assortment of counterfeit jewellery. Consequently, the Chinese firm incurred the sad financial loss when my credit card was reimbursed.
  15. "Point of order"... not from its inception, but since its reset. If you choose that display and initiate a reset by tapping the "OK" button, it will reset.
  16. It would be beneficial to know that my second key can only open the driver's side. I was starting to suspect a malfunction with the vehicle.
  17. Could you kindly provide more precise details on the particular location (within the air intake) where you applied the cleaner? I have been experiencing this difficulty for more than a year.
  18. https://www.gov.uk/sold-bought-vehicle Provide the purchaser with a receipt indicating that the item is being sold in its current condition, without any guarantees or the option to return it.
  19. Affirmative. Make the payment using a bank transfer and refrain from releasing the automobile until you have confirmed its receipt in your account. Additionally, please include the buyer's name and address so that you may proceed with the online transfer of ownership.
  20. Attempt an eBay auction ad with an initial bid of $5,000 and assess whether there is any inclination from potential buyers. Some DIY enthusiasts may not be intimidated by the prospect of an engine repair, even if it costs them £1k, since they might get a quality automobile for £5-7k. Or an untrustworthy automotive repair shop that would install a used engine from a scrapyard and sell it for £10,000.
  21. Congratulations for operating the vehicle in the appropriate manner.
  22. We also do several automobile tuning procedures, particularly in circumstances where the vehicle has previously undergone tuning. The difference in driveability after the procedure is significant.
