  1. They are also available for purchase on platforms such as eBay, particularly in the UK.

  3. The bolts with Torx heads located beneath the wheel arch liner posed the most difficulty when I removed the bumper. I recommend using a quality penetrating oil 15 minutes before to attempting to loosen them. I too want to replace these, since by the time I withdrew mine, the torx head was somewhat worn, and I lacked confidence in my ability to reinsert them or, if I succeeded, to extract them again in the future. Upon examining Partsouq, I believe the torx screws correspond to component number N 000000 000530. 4.8 mm x 22 mm self-tapping Torx head. To locate your precise model, examine the list for "attachment parts" towards the bottom, followed by "front bumper."
  4. I disagree. I performed the task on my W203 coupe, necessitating the removal of the bumper. However, it was a task manageable by a single individual, if one had an assortment of towels or old sheets to avoid scratching throughout the removal process. The duration ranged from 10 to 20 minutes, dependent upon the degree of rust on the screws and bolts accessed via the wheel arch liners.
  5. A W212 cannot be from 2019. W2l2 models operated from late 2009 until 2016.
  6. is unquestionably worthwhile. In addition to its velvety texture, it is breathable and waterproof, causing water to bead on the surface. It is possible to apply it on a wet vehicle, and the vehicle will subsequently dry underneath. I have one on my W221 all the time, and I've recently bought one for my S212. My only concern is that the covers perform optimally when they fit snugly, which leads me to avoid placing the cover on a filthy vehicle to prevent abrasion of the paintwork by the dirt. I am likely cleaning the vehicle more often than I normally would.

  8. An inadequate battery may prevent the back screen demister from activating. Have you indicated if the lock button on the dashboard functions properly for the central locking system?
  9. I am unaware of any factors that might cause both problems to manifest concurrently. Is the back screen heater fuse functional, and can you hear the relay engage when activated? Is your automobile battery in optimal condition? The wiring for the rear screen heater are located in the near-side hinge, whereas the diversity wires are situated in the offside hinge. I would see these as distinct flaws. If you identify a common factor that contributed to both failures, please share your results to assist other forum members.
  10. Did you disassemble any section of the mirror for improved access, or did you only apply spray from the exterior?
  11. I have attempted it several times using WD40, but without success. Do you have a specific product in mind that may be more effective? Did you first disassemble the mirror unit for improved access?
  12. The driver's side mirror on my 2009 E350 coupe has consistently emitted a groaning noise throughout the folding process since I acquired the vehicle, but recently it has been experiencing difficulty in unfolding. This often involves folding the mirrors in using the button, opening the driver's window, and then using the button to unfold the mirrors while gently moving the driver's mirror outward. I have previously used WD40; nevertheless, I believe it is necessary to completely remove and strip the mirror or replace it altogether. Has anybody encountered this problem before, and what is the difficulty level of removing and stripping the mirror? Do you have any more recommendations?
  13. Each day is an opportunity for learning. I have often contemplated it as well while examining earlier Benz models.
  14. You are correct. Japanese imports are smaller and more costly. Anyways. Got it reimbursed. Thank you.
  15. Right one is my. They polished it and placed back in since they couldn't obtain replacement immediately away.
  16. I purchased brake discs for my 2003 Japanese import W220 S500. I attempted to install it in the garage, but it was too large. Why would this be? Was I sold the wrong size, and do I now have aftermarket components installed? My brake calipers and brake pads are all mercedes.i have never replaced brake discs though.
  17. The second O2 sensor is located downstream of the catalytic converter. This indicates that the mixture is lean, either due to excessive oxygen, an air leak in the exhaust system, or the ECU reaching the rich limit for closed loop control, while still insufficiently injecting fuel—possibly due to low fuel pressure or malfunctioning injectors. Examine the current O2 sensor 2 measurement; there may be a disruption in the wiring to it. Verify the measurements for O2 sensor 1 (pre-catalytic converter). If this is functioning correctly (0.2 - 0.8 volts every few seconds), with a lambda measurement of about 1.00 once the engine has reached operating temperature. The post-catalytic converter oxygen sensor typically provides a stable value of around 0.5 volts. If a visual inspection of the exhaust manifold, pipes, and catalytic converter is OK, there are no observable leaks on the intake manifold, and the fuel pressure is adequate, it may be prudent to consult an expert.
  18. I am sceptical; Meyle is of Chinese origin while having a Germanic name. I have not seen them endure. I have installed Febi on my 107, which has the same subframe as a W114/5 but accommodates a somewhat bigger engine. They hold up.
  19. Are you certain they do not? I am quite certain they have a repair section.
  20. It is referred to as a leak-off pipe, and a repair version is available from MB. It is quite probable that this is the source of the leak.
  21. It is widely advised to purchase authentic parts for the E350. However, they are manufactured by Bosch. When purchasing a Bosch product for around £30, it is advisable to get it from an authorised distributor, such as a Bosch diesel centre, to ensure its authenticity and fresh condition. I acknowledge that yours is the 250, but I own 350 experience.
