After attempting to access the link, I discovered that it is no longer functional. Consequently, I have sent an email to Spieshecker Germany. I will provide an update if and when I get a response. Upon realisation, I have discovered that I had the document in question on my computer's storage device. However, the forum does not permit the uploading of a 2611Kb .pdf file. Therefore, if someone wants to get the file, kindly send me a private message with your email address.

I created a discussion post on the lacquer peel issue that I now have on my Carneol Red s204. Within the thread, I included a link to an exceptional document provided by a reputable German paint manufacturer and supplier. This document comprehensively illustrates various paint defect issues that one may meet, along with their underlying causes and effective remedies. I will attempt to locate it.

I am certain that the Fuchs ATF will prove to be satisfactory. The firm in question is well recognised for its credibility and integrity. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that Fuchs, a renowned manufacturer of engine oil, does not provide Mercedes-Benz (MB) with its engine oil. Instead, MB procures their engine oil from Petronas, a Malaysian company. This suggests that physical distance may not be a significant determinant in the decision-making process for worldwide commercial transactions of this kind.

If the original poster (OP) had knowledge of the G3 compound, it is likely that they will find the 3M Fast Cut Plus to be suitable.

A minimal quantity would enough for a single vehicle, nevertheless, this package is highly recommended. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3x-1L-3M-Perfect-it-III-Fast-Cut-Plus-Extra-fine-Ultra-fine-50417-80349-50383-/222894928914?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338181125&toolid=10001&customid=2518X1570512X0ffc55ca07ff03bc0caf0a66f56e5ded I like the user-friendly nature of the 3M system, which employs a straightforward approach via the use of color-coded pads and polishes. While there are undoubtedly other alternative choices to consider, it is worth noting that the products offered by 3M exhibit commendable quality.

It would be advantageous to consider implementing a 2 or 3 stage polishing process.The thumb is a digit located on the hand, specifically on the inner side of the hand The use of abrasive compounds such as G3, or other comparable cutting agents, may result in the formation of a subtle haze or holographic effect. In order to enhance the overall appearance and get a satisfactory outcome, it is necessary to use a gentle pad and a high-quality polish subsequent to the application of a potent substance for the purpose of augmenting shine.

In the past, perhaps 10-20 years ago, I had a strong belief in the effectiveness of Farecla products, namely G3 and G10, for my intended purposes. However, there are other superior goods available on the market at now. This particular device is much outdated in terms of performance, user-friendliness, and simplicity of cleaning when compared to its competitors. I recommend experimenting with the 3M Perfect-It line of products. Fast Cut Plus has similarities to G3, yet with notable advantages in terms of use and performance. Which hue are you attempting to polish?

An effective and versatile cleaning solution

When considering the choice between Surfex HD from Bilt Hamber and G101 from Autosmart, it is important to evaluate the merits of each product in an academic manner. Both very effective apc's are recommended due to their favourable cost versus dilution ratio, making them the optimal choice. -
I have personally driven my vehicle from a mileage of 4,000 miles to 75,000 miles, which has resulted in a certain level of emotional attachment. Consequently, until I am financially capable of acquiring an 812, I am inclined to maintain my current vehicle, so acknowledging a potential bias in my perspective. However, it is important to acknowledge that if the available budget only permits the purchase of a high mileage high performance vehicle, it may not be the most optimal choice unless one has the ability to conduct their own mechanical repairs. In this assertion, it may be argued that the high-priced components that produce a loud sound will exhibit similarities in both a 650i and an M6. In terms of performance, efficiency, and aftermarket support, it may be argued that a 640i with a tune offers advantages over a 650i. The former variant is likely to exhibit superior acceleration, reduced weight, and improved fuel economy. Additionally, the 640i benefits from a more extensive network of aftermarket resources, which further enhances its appeal as a viable alternative to the 650i.

In my perspective, the 650i may be characterised as a leisurely grand touring vehicle or a coupe designed for personal luxury. However, it fails to exhibit a heightened level of responsiveness or enable the driver to fully engage with the vehicle's capabilities, as it tends to operate within a limited performance range of around 70% of its potential. I have operated many vehicles and in my observation, they effectively conceal their power output of 300kw or 330kw in a quite impressive manner. In my own evaluation, I have a general aversion towards Audis. However, I find that the C7 S6, which has comparable power and somewhat reduced torque, exhibits a superior powertrain in my perspective, mostly attributable to the use of a dual-clutch gearbox (DCT). Naturally, the inside of the Audi is subpar and its handling capabilities are severely lacking, resulting in a suboptimal ride quality. However, it should be noted that my personal preference leans away from Audis. Although the M6 is not often seen as a lightweight track vehicle, the many suspension modifications and incorporation of the Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) contribute to its potential for exhilarating performance and enjoyment during spirited driving. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the M6 retains hydraulic steering, a feature that I feel significantly impacts its performance. Based on the literature I have seen, the Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) is often regarded as a very dependable system, with the exception of potential clutch wear that may occur in cases where the DCT has been modified. However, it is worth noting that replacing the clutch pack is a relatively straightforward procedure and is likely to be more cost-effective compared to a complete replacement of the ZF8 transmission. The M6's exhaust manifold configuration prevents it from producing the typical V8 sound. However, as FinalRenegade has said, the vehicle nonetheless emits a sufficiently loud noise. Moreover, the distinctive arrangement of the exhaust system imbues the car with a sense of uniqueness, since its sound distinguishes it from other vehicles in the market.

I was previously unaware that the COMAND NTG 5.x system supports over-the-air (OTA) upgrades. Is the initiation of the process performed by the user or is it automated? In terms of cost, all components of these automobiles are characterised by high prices. It is possible that the issue may be addressed by the implementation of the 'goodwill' plan; nonetheless, it is advisable not to have too optimistic expectations.

Where is the location of the relay for?
Blu_Ray_UK2007 replied to Blu_Ray_UK2007's topic in General Discussions
Indeed, I have located the control module as previously said. However, I am interested in acquiring knowledge on the procedure for testing this control module. In the meantime, my intention is to inflate the bags using an additional battery connected to the compressor, which operates independently from the car's power source, in order to facilitate the movement of the object in question. Subsequently, a decision will be made about whether to retain or sell such object. -

It seems that there is a lack of knowledge on the appropriate testing methods for this particular subject matter. -
Where is the location of the relay for?
Blu_Ray_UK2007 replied to Blu_Ray_UK2007's topic in General Discussions
After doing a thorough examination and analysis, I discovered many issues during the code read. Specifically, the left and right solenoids, which are located next to the compressor, were identified as problematic. However, it was seen that there is a shortage of electrical power supply to these components. Does this imply that the EHC module is defective and requires replacement? -
Where is the location of the relay for?
Blu_Ray_UK2007 replied to Blu_Ray_UK2007's topic in General Discussions
As previously mentioned, the item in question was not found in any of the locations that were searched. The right side panel located in the trunk of the estate vehicle has all the fuses, including the 40A fuse. There is only one relay present, and it is not the one coloured bright green. The fuses are located below the glove box, while the relays are absent in this area. In the engine bay, specifically behind the pollen filter panel in the passenger side corner, one can find the electronic control unit (ECU) along with many block connections. It is worth noting that the light green ECU is not present in this particular location. After doing extensive online research, it seems that the control unit/module is located behind the wheel well carpet in the trunk. I will thereafter assess the power supply to determine its functionality. Indeed, the compressor was functioning well. However, the left bag exhibited leakage, prompting the replacement of such bag with a new one manufactured by Arnott. Subsequently, it was suggested that the other new bag be installed as well, in order to ensure a harmonious pairing. I found the reasoning to be logical and coherent. The commencement of the problematic situation occurred at that point. The procedure was executed in the same manner as the first attempt. However, when initiating the compressor, no response was seen. The fuses are receiving electrical power, however, there is no electrical power reaching the block connections connected to the compressor or the adjacent solenoid. Therefore, it is possible that the issue lies with either the light green relay or the control unit/module. The abrupt occurrence of the event is inexplicable to me. Both my partner and her father are also perplexed. -

If you had mentioned inspecting the area in or around the wheel well, I would have done so, but you just mentioned examining the boot. -

The solenoid responsible for the air bag compressor on a 2007 E61 model. Today, I acquired a new item from an undisclosed source, but regrettably neglected to inquire about its proper placement. Up until this point, an examination has been conducted on the fuses located inside the right side of the tailgate/boot, the engine compartment, and behind the glovebox. The object in question is a five-pin item that exhibits a shade reminiscent to peppermint green. The compressor and air bag valve solenoid are currently experiencing a lack of power. However, it has been determined that the compressor is functional when connected to a battery. I am uncertain about the appropriate methodology for testing the solenoid. As previously mentioned, the inquiry pertains to the appropriate placement of the light green solenoid relay.

During the coolant replacement procedure, I used Fricofin coolant in conjunction with distilled water. Tap water is treated with various substances to ensure its potability, since the taste of pure water, consisting just of H2O, is often considered unpleasant. The presence of salts and minerals in tap water may lead to chemical reactions with various metals and alloys, resulting in the formation of rust. Consequently, the water undergoes electrolysis, which is undesirable in a cooling system. The need of establishing a robust connection between the engine block and chassis for grounding purposes arises from the potential corrosive effects of water or electrolyte inside the system, which, if left unaddressed, might gradually erode the internal components of a cast iron block. The observation has been made that cylinder head studs may undergo significant erosion inside the engine block, to the extent that they fracture when subjected to torque. I am primarily referring about Jaguar straight six engines, which include the use of high carbon steel studs that are put into a cast block.

Is service B considered fraudulent or deceptive?
Blu_Ray_UK2007 replied to Allan8932's topic in General Discussions
All additional components on a Mercedes-Benz vehicle are considered optional, with the exception of the oil and filter, which are included as part of the standard package. Furthermore, during a B service, the brake fluid change is also included. The replacement of all filters is scheduled based on either miles or time, depending on whichever criterion is met first. -

One advantage is that it may be conveniently installed behind the rear view mirror, making it inconspicuous during operation and almost imperceptible from an external perspective. -
Timing chain, 4th generation, n-47t
Blu_Ray_UK2007 replied to KissezFun's topic in General Discussions
The aforementioned principle remains consistent; however, in the case of the N47, the chain is located in the rear of the engine. Consequently, the engine must be removed in order to address this issue, which may also need the replacement of the dual-mass flywheel (DMF) and clutch concurrently.
