  1. I appreciate it, gentlemen. I presumed it could have been the wind, yet I was unaware of its sensitivity.
  2. Greetings everyone. This morning, a notification has appeared on my 2020 C300. I am somewhat perplexed as it indicates that the entire vehicle has registered an incident or disturbance, rather than a specific region. The time stamp indicates when I was stationed outside a store. Regrettably, my model does not supply images or any additional details beyond what is displayed on the screen. Does anyone possess experience with this and what it signifies? I have inspected the vehicle and cannot identify any damage.
  3. Corrosion may also be present in the USB port. If you possess a product similar to Deoxit, consider utilising it.
  4. Two or three results should come up from a search. The installation of covers and a painted calliper thread are two that come to mind.
  5. After only a few starts, it's safe to assume the battery is dead. Starting drains a significant amount of juice, so simply turning it on and running won't replenish the charge. Once the battery is fully charged, it's a good idea to perform a parasitic drain test. Make sure to charge it thoroughly.

  7. My phone still won't pair with CarPlay, even after buying a data-only cable. Bluetooth is functional. the prior owner did not link their vehicle to CarPlay. I'm confused about how to fix this.
  8. Is this an issue with just one door, and does opening the door switch on the inside light? This is completely conjectural, but I'm wondering if lubricating the door jamb switch might fix it.
  9. Sure, I'm grateful. What I have discovered is this: Problems and Their Solutions Most often, a faulty brake light switch is to blame when the main light comes on but the speedometer remains unset. Two individual circuits make up the switch. The first one activates the brake lights, and the second one signals to the cruise control system that you aren't applying the brakes. If the second circuit doesn't work, the vehicle will assume you're braking and won't set. Verify that the brake lights are functioning properly; however, keep in mind that a faulty internal switch for the cruise control may be present even if the outside lights are operational. In most cases, you can fix the problem by replacing this cheap switch that is located above the brake pedal. A secondary clutch pedal switch informs the engine computer if the clutch is engaged, which is only present in Sorentos with manual transmissions. The cruise control will not allow you to select a speed if this switch is malfunctioning or not properly positioned. Problems with the "SET / COAST" or "+" / "-" rocker switches on the steering wheel could be due to loose wire ribbons or worn internal contacts; however, the master power button is functional and illuminates the dashboard. The vehicle's computer will prevent the cruise control from engaging if the speed sensor fails to provide a consistent reading. Suggested Following Actions To check the brake lights, either have someone else hold the rearview mirror while you press down on the brake pedal, or go around to a reflective surface. Connect an OBD2 scanner to your Sorento. A broken brake switch or cruise circuit can still cause the body or powertrain computer to store specific fault codes, even when the check engine light is not on.
  10. Have you been diligently following these steps: Using the Cruise Control Buttons: A Quick Guide Turn the system on or off by pressing this main button. On your dashboard, you'll see an indicator light. SET / -: Press or pull the toggle/lever down toward SET- to lock in your desired speed after you've reached it (must be above 20 mph / 30 km/h). To increase your set speed or return to your previous speed after braking, push the toggle or lever up toward RES+.
  11. The charging stations being set up at my nearby Lidl are situated in the four parking spots nearest to the entrance, resulting in significant competition for their use.
  12. A few chargers are presently being set up at my nearby Lidl. The decision to install chargers at supermarkets has always appeared to be an unusual choice, yet it likely provides some assistance to those lacking dedicated home charging.
  13. Good morning, I attempted to investigate but was unable to locate a definitive response. I possess a 2018 GLC AMG Line (neither premium nor premium plus) and I intend to install ambient lighting around the center console and door trims. I am solely focused on the three colours to maintain the vehicle's original equipment manufacturer appearance. I have successfully located and procured matching door trim panels with the same finish as the light strips (A2057201880, A2057307622, A2057201780, and A2057300522) from a 2019 GLC. Locating the door trims equipped with LED strips that lacked premium audio and memory seat features proved challenging. Is there a connector present in the door looms for these strips, and can they be activated via a computer to display on the command screen? Is it feasible to retrofit solely the tubes in the center console (essentially slotting them in), or would it necessitate acquiring an entire center console from a vehicle equipped with the ambient package? My vehicle is equipped with orange illumination beneath the door handles and in the footwell, as well as puddle lights. Is there anyone who can confirm whether the illuminated sills or door plates I acquired would be compatible for plug-and-play installation with the appropriate wiring harnesses? My doors are equipped with illumination on the exterior and a puddle light below.
  14. Ensure the battery is completely charged and verify that the terminals are firmly fastened. Upon complete charging, if it fails to start, it is essential to have the fault codes analysed to determine the problem. A Mercedes expert is undoubtedly ideal, yet you might require a mobile mechanic or electrician equipped with a code reader to diagnose the issue.
  15. Was the USB-C port still functional when Halfords returned the vehicle to you, or did it fail at the same time as their work?
  16. The scope of the warranty determines the answer to the last question. Unplugging is often not done. Is one more memory stick not working?
  17. I would refrain from acquiring an M6 with such a mileage. I would also consider purchasing a vehicle if fuel efficiency is a concern. In my opinion, it is advantageous to own a second car. A significant number of individuals engage in this activity on a daily basis, however I would advise against it if possible. Regarding performance, it may be inferred that it is much inferior to that of an M6.
  18. Initially, my cognitive response was influenced by the content presented in the aforementioned film. A search on Google was conducted to explore the topic of universal joint orientation. It is improbable that a professional in driveshafts would lack awareness of this matter; still, it is advisable to inspect the underside of the van in accordance with the instructions provided in the video, as a precautionary measure. A visual inspection is necessary to determine whether the phasing is incorrect, since any misalignment would likely be perceptible to the naked eye rather than precisely 3 degrees. It is important to observe that they are not in a state of being 90 degrees out of phase. The inspection of the dual mass flywheel in M80's may be completed within a matter of seconds. If no indications are seen during the aforementioned inspections, one could question whether the discs located at the back were properly attached or seated subsequent to the handbrake maintenance. Another potential issue to consider is the failure of the differential pinion bearing, which may have been damaged during the installation of the propshaft. While it is not expected for this to occur, it is not uncommon for a jack to be improperly positioned or slide, leading to such damage. If such a condition exists, it will manifest as perceptible roughness while manually spinning the propshaft, while ensuring that the rear wheels are elevated and not in contact with the ground. Additionally, the presence of debris within the oil may also be seen. If there is any suspicion, it should not be disregarded. A comprehensive failure has the potential to immobilise both the differential and rear wheels, resulting in an abrupt loss of control and even ejection off the roadway.
  19. Greetings, I am now using H&R springs on my 335d vehicle, and I have seen that the front end is excessively lowered, causing interference with the splitter. What are your opinions on AC Schnitzer?
  20. The experience was distressing and unsettling. Only Microsoft Bill could transform a seemingly straightforward task into a convoluted and challenging endeavour.
