  1. Evidently, the engine has enough torque even at idle.
  2. Indeed, it is correct. Laugh out loud! Are there any other E500 owners who would want to share their thoughts on the facelift? There are no issues with the codes, and the performance of the vehicle is flawless in terms of driving and shifting.
  3. Greetings, everyone. Does your E-class petrol automatic vehicle have a tendency to go slowly forward while it is in gear and you release the brake pedal when stationary? My 2007 E500 lacks this feature, which is atypical for an automobile? Thank you.
  4. It is unlikely that the guarantee for a vehicle of this age would cover the tyres. The tyre with a tread depth of 7mm may have been replaced due to a puncture, which might explain the mismatch. It is recommended to replace the tyre when the tread depth reaches 3mm, since a tread depth of 7mm is near to that of a new tyre.
  5. I completely concur with all you have said. Our cherished possessions come with a hefty price tag, therefore it is perplexing why one would choose to use such establishments. The drive-through brush roller establishments provide a paint finish akin to an ice rink. Similarly, the sponges used by manual vehicle washes contain tubs of dirty water, grit, and potent chemicals. While this information may be valuable in retrospect, it is advisable not to use it after you have resolved the issue with your automobile.
  6. Regrettably, the one solution to address this issue is to replace the lettering and grille, unless you possess the option to have them repainted alongside the bonnet. I don't believe you would have much opposition with the establishment's disclaimer that washing is done at the owner's own risk, but it is worth trying. It is strongly advised, as said before and in other blogs, to avoid using a drive-through car wash located on a street corner.
  7. It seems that the establishment is a nearby drive-thru, and they have used a powerful acid or traffic film remover (TFR) to achieve the streaky visual appearance included in your description.
  8. I use this specific kind of vent holder in conjunction with the Auckley

  11. Did MB fail to provide an explanation for the cause of the lacquer peeling on their product?
  12. Puzzled, I contemplate the reason for the scorching of this specific hue. It is perhaps one of the finest hues as well. Perplexing?
  13. The technique of wet sanding, also known as "wet cut," may provide excellent results when executed skillfully with the appropriate abrasive pad. However, for those lacking proficiency in this method, it may be necessary to consider a respray.
  14. The G3, G10, and G3 wax consistently provide satisfactory results in my experience. The cutting process is deliberately performed at a slower pace to minimise the likelihood of causing any harm or injury. Exercising patience and investing sufficient time may significantly reduce the occurrence of confusion and illusions.
  15. Indeed, the visual representation seems to depict a distinctively novel seating arrangement in stark contrast to a worn and fatigued counterpart.
  16. I now get the rationale behind the concept. I made an error in my assumption that you had a glass sunroof. Regrettably, I am unable to provide assistance at this time.
  17. May I kindly request that you provide a visual representation, such as a photograph, in order to provide a more precise identification of the specific component in question?
  18. Thank you for your response. While perusing several options, I came across some affordable coilovers. However, I also considered the possibility that these coilovers may be prone to malfunction or failure. I am considering retaining my Celica for an extended duration, which suggests that it may serve as a prospective investment in the future. I have observed the items you referenced on the online marketplace eBay. During my search, I saw a statement that said, "Please Note: Not for cars with rear shock 2B760." From this information, I infer that the specified rear shock, identified as 2B760, is the standard component, and it may be necessary to replace it in order to use the aforementioned items. Will I be content with the original materials for the time being? I will also get drop links since they seem to be reasonably priced. The provided link directs to an eBay listing for an Apex Lowering Spring Kit designed for a Here is the hyperlink to the eBay auction I saw, should you like to examine the shocks I referred to. I express my gratitude once again for your assistance.
  19. Greetings, fellow individuals. I have been perusing many online forums in search of a pertinent discussion thread that might address my query. Regrettably, I have been unable to get a definitive response so far. As a neophyte in the realm of automobile customization, I am seeking a straightforward solution to my inquiry, which I believe should be quite simple. I am now operating a Y Registration Generation 7 190 Celica, which I hold in great regard. However, I find the ride height to be little excessive for my preferences. I have conducted research on the many strategies for reducing the height of my infant, although I am uncertain about the appropriate approach to pursue. Should I go for lowering springs or choose coilovers? If the decision is made to go for the Coilover alternative, will it be necessary to replace the existing regular shocks? As previously said, I possess little experience in this field, to say the least. Next year, I am also in the process of organising a road trip throughout Europe with a few companions. Given that we will be using our own vehicles for this endeavour, I have contemplated the advantages of equipping my car with coilovers. This modification seems to be a favourable choice, since European roads are often superior in quality compared to those in the United Kingdom. Consequently, I would have the option to lower my vehicle when necessary, so enhancing its performance and aesthetic appeal. In summary, what is the subject matter that I am seeing, gentlemen? Is it advisable to install coilovers in conjunction with new shocks? Or springs? I am seeking a decrease in height by 35mm since I believe it will result in a visually neat appearance. I express my gratitude in advance.
  20. In the past, I had a strong affinity for the 7, since it undeniably possessed a very athletic demeanor. Comparatively speaking, the level of sportiness shown by a vehicle surpassing that of a S class is not very noteworthy. The 7 Series may be described as a sporty and spacious sedan, distinct from both the S Class and conventional sedans. As previously stated, the phenomenon of identity crisis manifests as an individual's struggle to embody many roles or identities, resulting in a lack of proficiency in any one domain.
  21. BMW is now experiencing a state of identity crisis. The sales figures for the 7 series are much lower in comparison to the S class, and there have been reports suggesting that even the LS model has surpassed the 7 series in terms of sales this year. In the past, BMW was considered the preferred option for those seeking a dynamic driving experience in comparison to the S Class. However, BMW no longer fulfills this expectation and fails to match the luxurious qualities offered by the S Class.
  22. It would not be unexpected if the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) maintained documentation pertaining to its scanning activities.
  23. Performing self-diagnostic procedures might potentially provide grounds for the dealer to invalidate the warranty in some jurisdictions. Please transport it to the designated location, MB. The use of the vehicle is not impeded.
  24. The engine in question, namely the 2.1 diesel variant known as om646, is very reliable and durable. The object emits a sound reminiscent to a tractor, however has an enduring capacity to operate indefinitely. Mrs. has a W203 C220 CDI vehicle, whereas I own a CLK equipped with a 270 CDI engine. Based on my analysis, I would choose for the diesel option. The vehicle in question is cost-effective to operate, very durable, and has a coupe body style without a central pillar, which, in my opinion, is aesthetically superior to its convertible counterpart. Additionally, it is equipped with the AMG package, providing an added advantage. The only modification required for perfection is the replacement of xenon lights. Throughout my professional experience, I have gained substantial knowledge and expertise in many tasks related to the 220 CDI. Therefore, please feel free to contact me if you need any specific information or assistance in this regard. I have also created other films that focus on the primary occupations within these fields.
