I am certain that someone will purchase it, replace the motor, and organise it.

If the timing chain has been used for over 60,000 miles, it will require a replacement. Additionally, remove the oil control solenoid for valves and clean the gauze filters on them. Perform a smoke test on the pcv pipe before reinserting it into the inlet manifold. If smoke is observed coming from below the pipe, it is likely to be broken and will result in various idle issues. If the pipe becomes stuck, I will inspect it and remove any obstructions.

The number of 60,000 miles should be regarded as a round figure. It is important to note that guides may break extremely often after a decade of use. Additionally, it is necessary to do oil pressure tests while the engine is hot. A healthy engine operating at 105°C at idle should typically have a pressure of about 20 psi, while a healthy engine should have a pressure of 40 psi at 3000 rpm.

Autel is a reliable device that allows you to see all codes.

Which scanning tools were used to identify codes? It is important to note that not all scanning tools can detect all codes. Various factors may contribute to the issue at hand, such as timing chain issues, malfunctioning vanos systems, cracks in the PCV pipe from the rocker cover to the intake manifold, and idling effects. The only method to address these issues is via a smoke test.

Possible placement of the N14B16A head on the N18B16A block.

ianwh4 surpassed me in mentioning the variable oil pump and the solenoid, which are regulated by the dme. Therefore, it is evident that there are certain aspects to address regarding wiring and ecu (including the cas unit for keys, among others). If the piston is a piston, I have polished the cylinder and inserted a Yenmak piston (77.000mm) to achieve the desired piston clearance within the specified range. -
ByteStorm Could you possibly provide any links to information on this deletion? Unable to locate any information. TIA

I recommend that you also verify yours. -
Although not the same car or reason, I experienced something similar with my Vito. While thorough cleaning my vehicle, I removed the double front passenger seat set. I disconnected the seat sensor wire to do this. Everything was going well until I turned on the engine without the seat connected, causing the SRS light to come on right away. The device remained active, and no error codes were shown on my code reader. I conducted thorough investigation, since I like to do all car responsibilities myself, and found no suitable choice. I eventually brought my vehicle to a Mercedes independent mechanic, who connected it to their Star computer and used it to deactivate the system. Regrettably, it seems that the requested task of resetting the SRS warning light was not completed, resulting in the "fasten seatbelt" warning no longer functioning on my Vito. Before I paid them to fix the lit SRS warning light, it warned appropriately.

Agreed. They usually work locally, which takes around 20 minutes. During school holidays, they go from the South Coast to Cheltenham, which is about 190 miles each way. Running on diesel would be more efficient, however I am considering using gas for town driving and work due to the factors you mentioned. They want to retain the automobile for an extended period, thus the need for it to be perfect.

That was my first thought, but are the NOx still as volatile? What economic differences may be seen in real-world driving?

I appreciated the response till the last sentence.

No, I am content with my W204. A buddy is considering many possibilities on the market and has shown interest in my vehicle as well. Their budget is around £14,000 or less, and they aim to be compatible with ULEZ regulations. My questions for the community are: Are there any solutions available for the NOx problems experienced by EU6 diesel and petrol vehicles, whether by practical means, warranty coverage, or additives? Has Mercedes-Benz taken any steps to make adjustments or acknowledge the issue? I would be concerned if they were to make changes and then face annual payments of £1000 just for that! Do not recommend deletion, it is not a viable choice. My diesel vehicle achieves roughly 57+ mpg in the summer and 45 mpg in the winter. What mileage are petrol vehicle owners getting? They have a large dog, therefore they are aiming for an estate car. Are there any other problems to consider beyond the usual W205 features and accessories? They need an automobile promptly since their current vehicle is unlikely to be suitable for everyday use much longer. I welcome assistance and insights, particularly about the sensors and adblue tanks concerns. Greetings everyone.

Black smoke often indicates over-fueling, maybe due to a combination of both factors. If the pressure sensor displayed a low value. It would likely attempt to increase the quantity. A broken Turbo intake seal might enable air to enter after the air flow sensors, perhaps causing confusion for the ECU. It's good that you were able to resolve it on your own. And I hope you will not encounter any other problems.

If you prioritise good tread life, it is advisable to use Michelin tyres. However, if tread life is not a major concern, you may choose the Continental Sport Contact 7.

Thank you so much for responding. I will definitely look into it. I find it satisfactory.
-
Thank you for responding. Your suggestion seems like a commendable idea.
-
Excellent suggestion, I will definitely follow through with it. Thank you one again.

Thank you for responding. I was searching on eBay, but when I attempted to verify whether the item would be compatible with my vehicle, it always indicated that the part would not be suitable for my car.

The automobile I own is a W218 model from the year 2013.

Thank you for responding. I have previously come across this information, but sadly, it is not compatible with my vehicle. I have seen several options for bearing kits, but I am struggling to locate a whole hub with a bearing. I believe Mercedes may provide such a product, but it is likely to be rather expensive.
-
I am inquiring if anybody knows where I can get a fully assembled front wheel hub with bearing. This is intended for my Mercedes CLS W218 131 250CDI. I see lost of bearing kits but can't seem to locate the hub complete with bearings. Thanks.

I just purchased a set of components for my first-generation V10 pre-facelift vehicle from AudiUSAParts.com. The price is $62 per unit and includes free delivery.
