Intermittent indication of low coolant level
alpaco45 replied to Screwdriver_1's topic in General Discussions
If the coolant level is satisfactory, I would suggest examining the error codes using the OBD2 system. -
The seller bears responsibility in accordance with the Sale of Goods Act, making the use of a guarantee unnecessary.

Although I am not an authority on the subject, I have experience the need for repainting shortly after applying a ceramic coating. They implemented a delay of around one week, or maybe 10 days, prior to reapplying the ceramic coating. In my opinion, a period of around 3-4 weeks should enough. However, for confirmation, I would recommend consulting the bodyshop, the website or manufacturer of the detailed product, and the detailer (if you are opting for professional services).

Is it normal for the 2007 E500 to move slowly?

I am familiar with the hold feature of the previous SBC unit. I believe that MB included this feature in the updated models of non-SBC vehicles. However, I am not engaging in that behavior in my own actions...at least not deliberately. -

These do not contain the letter "w". Only C / S. Do not assume that it also occurs in S. -

Yes, it does maintain its position on a hill. -

The transmission and torque converter fluid have been replaced, along with the filter. -

Evidently, the engine has enough torque even at idle. -

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. -
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.

TPMS problem with the 2020 XCeed 2 model.

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. -
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.
-
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.
-
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.

Did MB fail to provide an explanation for the cause of the lacquer peeling on their product?
-
Puzzled, I contemplate the reason for the scorching of this specific hue. It is perhaps one of the finest hues as well. Perplexing?
-
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.
-
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.

The front door emits a creaking or rattling sound.

Was the latch mechanism side also lubricated? -
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.
