The model W218 2016 CLS 220D is being referred to. The functionality of my ECO mode ceased to operate early this calendar year. The yellow ECO text is shown on the dashboard instead of the green box with inverted text, indicating that the activation of the feature has not occurred. Additionally, it was observed that the air conditioning system failed to distribute cold air when operating at its lowest temperature setting. Furthermore, even when the temperature was set to 20 degrees Celsius, for instance, and the surrounding temperature was between 18-22 degrees Celsius, a noise like the sound of air passing over the top of a bottle was audible emanating from the vents. The automotive service provider inspected the air conditioning system and reported that no issues were found. However, it was noted that the system does not emit cold air, but rather reaches a temperature that is at most 10 degrees lower than the surrounding environment. This observation is peculiar considering that the air conditioning system initially produced chilled air that was capable of causing numbness in the fingers. It is worth mentioning that a similar experience is observed with the Nissan Juke owned by my spouse. In any case, it has been said that the auxiliary battery is the source of the issue. It is hypothesized that the issue may stem from a sensor inside the heating matrix, hence preventing the activation of the ECO mode due to failure to satisfy the requisite criteria, particularly if it perceives an inadequate ambient temperature. However, the prevailing belief is that the auxiliary battery is the root cause of the problem. Today, a new auxiliary battery was installed, incurring a total cost of £200 for both the materials and labor involved. The specific actions undertaken by the responsible party remain unclear, as the ECO mode functionality continues to be non-operational and the displayed text color persists as yellow rather than green. I experienced a lack of engagement with the start/stop mechanism throughout my 30-minute commute home. It is worth considering the possibility of doing a preliminary test, although one may question the need of doing so for a newly acquired battery. I proceeded to accelerate vigorously down a divided highway. The object in question remains yellow in color and exhibits impairments. I am dissatisfied with the expenditure of £200 resulting in no tangible outcome. Furthermore, the dissatisfaction is heightened by the fact that they claimed to have resolved the issue, however it is evident that the problem persists upon just engaging the ignition. Could you kindly provide any suggestions or recommendations, please?

Kits, tools, and replacement components for 8HP45 and 8HP90 transmissions. Go4trans: Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Globally Dipstick 8HP90 Alternatively, you may use the fill-plug level while the engine is at the proper operating temperature (oil expands when heated): How to Check ZF 8HP Transmission Fluid Without a Dipstick

There may be a fill pipe in the engine compartment with a tight-fitting lid, but you'll still need to invest in a service dipstick.

Carbon and other friction particles from the friction bands would leak out into the oil, polluting it, and therefore ZF, in a technical notice, suggested at least one adjustment when the issue was discovered. The oil in the torque converter must be changed at least twice to guarantee a proper renewal percentage since it is not always possible to drain it directly (no drain plug). Maybe they figured out the fundamental issue and fixed it in newer gearboxes. Changing the oil and filter won't hurt anything, except maybe your money, as long as you use the right stuff.

Even though the auto 'box is "filled for life," you should check the fluid and filter regularly.

In most cases, automatics, even those with 5 gears, are preferable than manuals. By having seven and eight gears, automatic transmissions are better suited to vehicles with less powerful engines. Due to the ample engine torque of their day, early US "muscle cars" could get by with just two gears.

If you sell your ST, you'll be sorry (friend).

Was the right kind of gas used?

Even after someone accidentally bumped into me, I was unable to erase the collision alarm since it had been reset after I had to have the sensors reset because of a pigeon hit.

Another order for Ocean Blue v2 with ADAP, with a delivery time of 8 to 12 weeks.

My friend the builder recently finished putting on one of his own flat roofs. He used that rubber (he couldn't remember the precise name), but he said it works well... if applied properly. He offered me some extra to use in the rabbit hutch, and it seems really sturdy.

The subframes are composed of rather substantial materials, so it takes a long for rust to penetrate them. Additionally, the fact that it is an 80s model rather than an older 60s or 70s model may be advantageous. It obviously depends on how it lived its existence, but you may certainly follow your advice and bash everything with a hammer to see if you can uncover any alarming areas. The fronts, which are clearly covered in oil throughout the most of their lives, do seem to suffer more than the backs.

I received a quotation for £120 to do the front and back? Personally, I believe it is worthwhile. Powder coating is normally done by the same folks, so I'm not going to bother, but it never hurts to inquire how much it costs and see if it works for you. £75 for blasting AND coating is an absolute value. That's something I'd absolutely agree to.

It will take forever to wire brush it, and it will be difficult to reach all of the crevices, so if you can afford it, you should look for someone local who can sandblast it for you. This will restore the metal to its original state. Is the subframe assumed to be from the initial year of production?

Yes, "w" does stand for "wide" 😄 SE stands for Seven Styleee. i = self-contained (both narrow and broad body versions), but not too many narrow ones. w = wide
