Regrettably, it might be attributed to various factors, and the potential explanations are numerous without direct observation. It may be crank pressure. It is possible that with only 1.5 litres of oil in the vehicle, the oil in the turbocharger has been degraded, resulting in a blockage of the drain line. The unlubricated turbo may have compromised the turbine side seals. It is often more economical to rebuild or replace a turbocharger than to pursue seal leak repairs, as seen in nine out of ten instances. If the pressure is sufficiently high to expel oil from the hot side, I would also anticipate observing leaks from the valve covers or the rear main seal.
-
If the crankcase pressure is sufficiently elevated to obstruct the oil drain line or induce back pressure through it, it is not uncommon for a leak on the turbine side to occur as a result of crankcase pressure stemming from a severely compromised PCV system.

The play in the shaft is attributable to the bearings, not the seals. The seals may deteriorate while the bearings remain in satisfactory condition. The compressor side seal may remain in satisfactory condition while the turbine side seal, leading to the exhaust, has deteriorated significantly. If there are significant quantities of oil in the exhaust, it is unlikely to be due to PCV blow-by and may indeed explain the initial depletion of engine oil.

Manual stimulation? 💪

The spring on the driver's side has fractured.
drummer replied to WiseSage's topic in General Discussions
Shock absorbers do not influence ride height; I recommend replacing both front springs as a best practice. If the shocks are not in optimal condition, it is advisable to replace them; however, if they are satisfactory, just the springs should be replaced. -

Utilize Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. I never use the integrated navigation system.

Regular maintenance is my forte; but, I have never had to clean the 'upper end' of any engine I have had, and it is not a topic often addressed, except from walnut blasting in direct injection engines.
-
If you deem it essential, proceed. What leads you to believe that the upper section need a thorough cleaning? Utilising high-quality fuel should ensure that this supercharged engine remains in satisfactory condition. My W203, with 156,000 kilometres, is in pristine condition. I fuel it with 'super' (the highest octane available at the local supermarket) and do not need any top-end cleaning.

Is there a preferential rate for acquaintances?

The recently purchased C180 is adorned with substandard used car dealer plates that appear somewhat worn. I would like to have new plates manufactured at the local Mercedes-Benz dealership, with premium stainless steel screws (four per plate) and inscribed with the text "Mercedes-Benz dealer location" at the bottom. Am I seeking to be severely overcharged or, worse, ridiculed for obtaining registration plates from the dealer? I believe I recently spent approximately £35 for the pair at Halfords for another vehicle.

P0137 low voltage O2 sensor bank 1 sensor 2 W205
drummer replied to Howard_silver's topic in General Discussions
If the catalyst is functioning properly, the pre and post sensors should not exhibit correlated readings. The pre-catalyst sensor should approximately adhere to a sine wave pattern. The post-catalyst sensor should register a low value if the catalyst is functioning effectively. -
N55 - Misfire after valve cover replacement
drummer replied to IrvesBMW's topic in General Discussions
ISTA is difficult to configure unless one has IT expertise; I lack such knowledge and thus had it completed by someone else. Considering if it is feasible for the O2 sensors to be incorrectly connected or whether the connectors are dissimilar. I cannot recall at all. It is an unusual flaw you possess, however. -
N55 - Misfire after valve cover replacement
drummer replied to IrvesBMW's topic in General Discussions
The post-catalytic lambda sensor just serves to assess catalytic converter efficiency and does not modify fuel delivery, unlike the pre-catalytic sensor. Have you verified that no damage has been inflicted on the wiring during the removal or reinstallation of the rocker cover? Utilising ISTA would likely be advantageous for addressing such a defect. I examined a N55 last year, and frankly, I would have found it challenging to detect without the ISTA test plans. -
How to activate the front passenger seat heating?
drummer replied to Paqngo's topic in General Discussions
What is the reason your passenger is unable to activate the seat heating? -
I assert that the interiors of the GT Line and GT Line S are identical, yet the air quality differs. Exercise caution while viewing YouTube videos on EV3 from Asia, North America, or Ireland, since they may exhibit differing specifications, trimmings, or colours compared to those available in this country. I saw an Irish GT Line with a sunroof; however, this option is only available on the GT Line S in Britain.

Single turbo with changeable geometry; 2011 predates the use of dual power. I believe that did not appear till the F series vehicles. They remain a single turbo; however, the exhaust casing is uniquely designed with two internal channels to enhance efficiency.

Thank you for the counsel. I will arrange for it to be hired at a location. A buddy has a TOPDON ArtiDiag EU code scanner, but I am uncertain whether it will be capable of reading any codes.

The Icarsoft. I was examining one of them moments ago.

The mileage is 95,000. The previous gearbox service date is unknown; nevertheless, the vehicle had servicing two years before. The computerised service record displays no information whatsoever.

I own a 2013 Mercedes-Benz E250 CDI AMG Sport Coupe. I have not had it for an extended period, nevertheless I have encountered a problem since acquiring it. Initially, I suspected the vehicle was misfiring; however, it idles flawlessly and maintains any RPM without difficulty. I am uncertain about the underload, but I suspect the problem lies in the automatic gearbox. While driving, the vehicle exhibits a sensation of misfiring, indicating an unhappy engine, as shown by fluctuations in the rev counter of a few hundred RPMs. The sensation resembles the gearbox attempting several gears. The gearbox display remains fixed on D3, D4, D5, or the appropriate gear, without indicating any transitions. The problem is more pronounced in E driving mode, somewhat improved in S mode, and somewhat alleviated although still present in manual mode. I am enquiring whether anybody has already had a similar experience. No dashboard lights are illuminated; the vehicle starts without issue, and all other functions operate well save for this. It is more noticeable when driving on the dual carriageway, less so in urban areas; yet, it is clearly perceptible whilst cruising.

My 2024 model is now on its first tank, having travelled 400 miles on the odometer; I will refuel this week. The average I see is 46.3. Thus, fresh and tight is not guaranteed. I am 85% urban across the 400 miles. I operate my vehicle with great caution. I registered at Fuely, where one may see a wide array of drivers and experiences. Ensure you narrow it down to '24 or, at the very least, '24 and '23. I see no justification for anybody to achieve less than 42 in mixed life.

When I replaced the wheel bearings on my 640d, I did not need to loosen the pinch bolt. To access the bolts located at the rear of the hub, it is necessary to detach a lower ball joint from one of the arms. However, I am uncertain about the specific model of your device. As Johnny suggests, apply a generous amount of penetrant and allow it to soak. Greetings

Indeed, this is Suzuka Grey. The interplay between light and colour is evident.
