  1. Thank you! That is really helpful. It seems that the Keyless Go and 360-degree camera systems are present there.
  2. Upon pressing the red region, it emits a squeaking sound, and when I strike it gently, the EPC activates. I am eager to discover what is concealed there and rectify the problem simultaneously.
  3. My 2020 S205 has acquired an annoying squeak, which I have identified as originating from behind the N/S boot trim, located right behind the rear seat beneath the 3/4 panel window (circled in red). Applying pressure on it allows me to reproduce the squeak. Interestingly, when I park the vehicle with the brakes off and strike this place with my fist, the electronic handbrake engages. I assume that electronics or a kind of sensor are concealed inside. I am unable to determine how to detach the carpeted trim, since the clasp for the folding seat back obstructs my ability to remove the panel. I would really appreciate guidance or advice on the contents behind the panel and the procedure for its removal. A components diagram for the region would be beneficial.
  4. Revisited the site this morning! I meticulously completed all tasks as required. Springs oriented correctly, etc. On the ground, still emitting noises like the top mount bearings. 😩 Considering the purchase of OEM bearings for one more attempt.
  5. Both parties are engaging in this behavior. I suspect that the bearing is not moving as easily as it ought to. Everything operated well prior to reinstallation of the struts; but, once subjected to load, the noise begins. The springs seemed to be properly positioned.
  6. It seems like either the spring is attempting to engage the upper rubber shim or excessive pressure is being applied to the bearing during wheel rotation. Audible inside the vehicle and discernible at the top mount behind the hood. At this pace, I will revert to the conventional springs, but I am also concerned that the issue may persist thereafter.
  7. Has anybody have difficulties putting H&R 35mm springs on their W212? Several months ago, I had them installed on my E350 CDI, and since I retrieved the vehicle, it has been producing a popping noise during certain turning maneuvers at low speeds. Only the gradual rotation speeds, without any additional noise from bumps, etc. The top mounts and bearings were replaced simultaneously. It is driving me to distraction! I have since removed them and substituted the rubber shims at both the bottom and top of the shock, as well as changed the Top Mount/Bearing with a new brand, nevertheless the same noise persists. This weekend, I replaced the shocks with new ones due to a blown shock and installed new 25mm lowering springs; nonetheless, the popping noise persists from the top section of the strut. Do you have any suggestions on the potential cause of this problem or where to begin? I like the aesthetic of the reduced configuration and prefer not to change to the regular height.
  8. Numerous 'Pass through' ratchet sets are available, or one may use a ratchet spanner. However, purchasing an 18mm variant may result in seldom usage. I have been use this publicly accessible product for decades.
  9. What do you mean by need a second earth? Where should the secondary earth wire be connected to the bulb holder and the vehicle? Could you provide diagrams or explain the procedure? Thank you for your response!
  10. The previously burnt bulb exhibits blackened or charred pins beneath. I have cleaned it by scraping lightly, and today I will sand it down and re-prime it if the contact remains inadequate. Where is the earth pin for the backlight or tail light located in the trunk, or where is the screw that connects all earth wires to the car body from the trunk? I attempted to locate it online, but only instructions for repairing the cables connecting the car to the trunk are available if the wire is damaged. Thank you for your remark!
  11. Salutations, Two days ago, I had an unusual error: all side markers (front, side, and rear) flash rapidly when I activate the left or right side markers. However, when the hazard lights are engaged, the blinking speed is normal. Bimmerlink indicates various problems, however all bulbs are functioning properly. This morning, I started the car, and all systems functioned normally, including the side markers. However, after driving for over two hours and parking the vehicle at home, the problem reoccurred after one hour of inactivity, and the blinking speed of the markers increased once more. I possess a 2008 BMW E90 Pre-ICI from Germany. I suspect that a grounding connection may be corroded or damaged, as it has been raining for an entire week, perhaps allowing water to into the trunk. The day prior, I encountered issues with the markers; one bulb for the trunk stripes was defective (blackened and burnt). I changed it and observed a single drop of water on the burned bulb. No corrosion was detected in the light bracket, nor was there any visible evidence of water. What should be the next focus? I believe the Footwell module is not defective, as it functioned for over two hours today without any issues. Do you believe the wires beneath the "harmonica" protection attached to the trunk are compromised, or is there corrosion (water damage) affecting the grounding within the boot? Where should I inspect for grounding connections to the vehicle in the boot? Any assistance is appreciated, as I am uncertain where to proceed next, given that all lights are functional.
  12. It is encouraging to hear. Did you also need to detach the DEF DPF hardware and the sensor located in the exhaust catalyst?
  13. I am apprehensive about acquiring music from unfamiliar internet platforms or those lacking endorsements from reputable individuals, mostly due to the elevated costs and associated hazards. Has anyone experienced a favourable outcome purchasing music from these websites? I seek feedback from those who have effectively utilised them, as I am apprehensive of investing a substantial sum in tunes, only to incur additional costs for installation and possible dealer consultations, particularly considering the engine's considerable value. I would like to enquire whether anyone has utilised the ECU Clone service available on eBay or through third parties. I possess an extended warranty until 2027, and I am considering purchasing an ECU and cloning it for convenient interchangeability. This appears to need considerable effort merely to opt out of DEF.
  14. I sincerely want to receive useful guidance and locations where I can completely eliminate DEF.
  15. Greetings to everybody, I am enquiring about cost-effective methods to remove or deactivate the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) or Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system on a 2018 Range Rover HSE TD6, while minimising detection risk and ensuring compliance with annual inspections, taking into account potential warranty implications that will expire in approximately two years. I am contemplating registering my vehicle, which has 80,000 miles, in a state that does not mandate annual inspections, as this seems more aligned with American values than those of New York. I aim to prevent incurring several months' worth of income in the future while also avoiding substantial modification fees, primarily related to labour costs. Based on my research, the removal of DEF offers benefits such as enhanced MPG and overall performance, which would be advantageous in my situation. I desire a straightforward OBDII plugin solution similar to those utilised for GM automobiles with AFM DFM disablers. I wish to maintain my Range for as long as possible, as I purchased it at a period of inflation and it does not possess the intrinsic value of gold. I aim to endure with it for as long as I can.
  16. I personally initiated the synchronisation of my vehicle using the infotainment screen.
  17. It is a 25-year-old vehicle, so please take care of it. What is the mileage?
  18. The area around the turbo is quite greasy; strangely, I have a B47 to replace this week after it failed due to blown turbo seals and then operated on its own oil until the sump was depleted, resulting in engine seizure. Ideally, you should remove the intercooler to assess the quantity of oil that is expelled; some oil is expected, but an excessive amount indicates a potential issue. Given the excessive oil consumption over a limited distance, I would suspect a ring or bore problem, since a turbo using that much oil would likely result in engine run-on.
  19. What is the total mileage, and has anybody removed the boost pipes to assess the oil accumulation within?
  20. Do you have a local independent Mercedes specialist? Enquire if they can do a pre-purchase inspection on short notice. The challenge may lie in obtaining the seller's consent for this. The abundance of C63s available for purchase works to your advantage. Identifying a suitable one is really challenging. Best of luck
  21. A fault code scan, in addition to the aforementioned, is the first need.
  22. Thank you. I considered restoring the drained fluid and then replacing the filter and cleaning after the operation. However, I considered it prudent to eliminate the existing sludge from the pan first to prevent its circulation or re-entrance. I must simultaneously replace the filter.
