  1. The cost of these components is exorbitant, with £100 being charged for a set of 6 injector seals, together with the accompanying nylon cradles and O rings.When I completed my task, the cradles (holders) were in good condition, so you may not need them. Visit The SL Shop.
  2. Mercedes Benz M103 Fuel Injector Seal Kit 300E 190E 260E TE 300CE 1030780283
  3. This is just the item you need. The product being referred to is the Mercedes Benz M103 Fuel Injector Seal Kit, which is compatible with many models such as the 300E, 190E, 260E, TE, and 300CE. The specific part number for this kit is 1030780283.Observe the attachment labelled 152776.
  4. Reach out to Mercedes Edinburgh via eBay and inquire about the cost of the specific auto component, including your registration number for reference. The previous one was intended as an illustration.
  5. Based on the frequency of his involvement in accidents, I conclude that they are correct.
  6. Highly recommended. Similar to the NHS, it is worthwhile to advocate for. However, it would be prudent to seek the opinion of another individual before more harm is caused by accumulating excessive mileage on your engine.
  7. A Mercedes-Benz technician reported the presence of metallic particles in the oil. To further emphasise your argument, it is important to reiterate that we lack information on the quantity and importance of the metal in question. MB promptly rejected the client, explaining that the investigation alone would be exorbitantly expensive due to MB's high prices. Due of its inherent nature. An individual with expertise or a discerning individual may examine this and formulate an opinion. It is evident that the original poster does not intend to personally get beneath the automobile to do this task. It is not within his area of interest or expertise. He only has to locate the appropriate someone to do the task on his behalf.
  8. If this £10k automobile, which was deemed suitable for sale by a reputable dealership in 2022, requires preservation, it would be advisable to consult an independent specialist or an engine expert to accurately assess the issue's severity and determine the associated expenses. If we have knowledge about Tangoman's whereabouts, we may propose a nearby MB expert.
  9. Seek a further assessment. Moreover, it is worth noting that you are excessively reliant on the warranty and experts to identify issues, despite the fact that you have just paid for a certain service, repair, and MoT. Regrettably, I understand that you may not be receptive to this information, but it is important to acknowledge that these affluent individuals at prestigious car dealerships are not operating as philanthropic organisations.
  10. Do you have any new information to share? I am considering making a purchase, however I would want to read a review before making a decision.
  11. I express my sincere gratitude for the provided replies. After considering observation on the close proximity of Fuchs and Mercedes factories, I have arrived at the conclusion to go for Fuchs. I express my gratitude for your assistance.
  12. reetings, esteemed individuals, I am prepared to undertake the task of doing a "drain and fill" procedure on the automatic gearbox of my W202 C230K vehicle, without including a gearbox control fluid change. Despite receiving guidance from Olly, the complexity of that particular component, including the banjo bolt, remains perplexing. I have already acquired the necessary components for the task at hand, including a dipstick, filter, gasket, drain plug o-ring, electronics bushing, and a thermometer. I am in the process of purchasing a quantity of 5 litres of fluid, and I wanted to get confirmation from you all before proceeding. After careful consideration, I have identified the Fuchs brand as a suitable option for the new gearboxes, since it is certified on the Mercedes-Benz specification sheet. There have been reports of using the recently developed fluid in the previous iteration of the 722.The use of six boxes facilitates enhanced operational efficiency. The automotive product being referred to is the Fuchs ATF 4134, which is compatible with the MB Spec 236.14 and 236.12 as well as the ATF 134. This product is available for purchase on Amazon.com in a one-liter bottle. Is this product of satisfactory quality, or would it be more advisable to continue using products from Shell or Mercedes? I express my gratitude in advance for taking the time to read this message.
  13. It is important to use care. Due to the complete removal of ions, deionized water exhibits a surprisingly caustic nature, rendering it unsuitable for use as a coolant in radiators. Consider this perspective: Tap water often contains a variety of ions, including calcium, magnesium, chloride, fluoride, and others. While these ions are not present in a saturated state, they form a somewhat stable solution. By removing all the existing ions, there is enough space available to acquire more ions, such as aluminium and iron, from a radiator or engine block. The user's text is already academic. The incorporation of a corrosion inhibitor/anti-freeze into a solution offers the additional function of mitigating the potential corrosive effects of deionized (DI) water on metallic surfaces.
  14. I am now located in New York City and have developed a routine of deactivating the air conditioning system and allowing the coils to undergo a drying process prior to the conclusion of each excursion. In the absence of appropriate measures, it is likely that an odour would gradually manifest in all of my automobiles. The approach that was effective for me included obtaining an AC coil cleaning from AutoZone and according to the provided instructions. To maximise airflow, adjust the fan setting to its highest level and apply a spray over the external air conditioning intake of the vehicle. Replacing the evaporator may be considered an extreme measure; nevertheless, if the warranty covers the cost of this replacement without any further charges to you, it may be a viable option. What are the reasons for not doing so?
  15. The 750i xDrive M Sport model was equipped with a 19-inch wheel size and a square tire arrangement measuring 245/45. If the width of the rear wheels is sufficient to accommodate the 275, then this configuration would be considered optimal.
  16. It is advisable to do a first search on the Google platform to see if one's vehicle is really impacted by the Dieselgate scandal. If the situation does not pertain to one's own circumstances, there is no need for concern.
  17. Herein lies an additional perspective on the matter... The Macan serves as a reliable and efficient workhorse, equipped with desirable specifications. It is recommended to use the vehicle accordingly and get satisfaction from its performance. Spyder is an exceptionally unique entity. There is a cessation in production. The GT2RS may be described as an exceptionally unique and remarkable vehicle. Why would one choose to dispose of a rare vehicle that may become very difficult to get again in the future (should one chose to or regret parting with it), just to purchase an upgraded and utilitarian vehicle with perhaps more features or enhancements? It is evident that you possess a strong affinity for automobiles, as your sentiments about the Spyder and GT2RS models reflect a deep connection rooted in emotion and passion. It is reasonable to surmise that these particular models evoke a greater sense of emotional fulfillment and passion compared to the Macan, given its distinct characteristics and performance capabilities. Consequently, it is advisable to maintain your current automobile collection in its present state and allocate more time to engage with the aforementioned specialized vehicles. After each excursion in my Spyder, I consistently express great enthusiasm and admiration for the experience.
  18. In a span of 9 months, I have accumulated a much greater mileage of 6,000 miles in my 718 Spyder compared to your mileage over a period of 2 years. I have a strong affinity for the Spyder vehicle and am uncertain about potential alternatives in the event of its hypothetical sale, a scenario that I do not see occurring within the foreseeable future. I have not had the opportunity to operate a GT2 RS vehicle. That is likely to possess a significant level of uniqueness or distinction. If I had to make a decision, I would choose to retain the Spyder and GT2RS models, while forgoing the acquisition of a new Macan. It is advisable to retain the current possessions and get satisfaction, use, and gratitude from them. It is recommended to use the Spyder software more often. Each drive may be seen as an occurrence.
  19. As inferred, the automatic gearbox has the capability to downshift by two ratios while it is essentially not under stress.
  20. I have had the automobile for a duration of one week, commencing from the previous Friday. Based on the current timeline, it can be inferred that the vehicle in question had been in the possession of the dealer for a certain period of time before the commencement of the second week. The observation has been made on several occasions. I engage in a hybrid work arrangement, spending 2-3 days per week in the office. Currently, my commuting distance is limited to around 20-30 miles per week, since I commute to and from the train station. The power of the vehicle remains unaffected, as it continues to operate smoothly, but with intermittent emissions of black smoke from the exhaust. I fail to comprehend the causal relationship between an intercooler pipe and the observed phenomenon. It is more probable that there would be a decrease in power. It is recommended to replace timing chains and tensioners due to their limited lifespan, often ranging from 100,000 to 150,000 miles. It is always advisable to exercise prudence and complete tasks in advance. The exclusive presence of the black smoke. The vehicle is in need of a B Service. The replacement of air and fuel filters is necessary. The use of new oil may perhaps provide assistance.
  21. Greetings, everyone. I own a total mileage of 93,000 kilometers on my Mercedes-Benz E350 vehicle, which is equipped with the OM642 engine. The vehicle may need a B-service maintenance, which might potentially address the issue. However, during a recent instance of rapid acceleration, the emission of black smoke was seen from the rear of the vehicle. Is it possible that the reason of this issue is just a need for an oil and filters repair, or should I do a more thorough investigation and consider replacing the PCV unit and pipe? Are there any further items that I should verify or examine? The engine seems to be functioning well, exhibiting no irregularities in its performance. However, there is a little occurrence of engine shaking during the first stages of operation, which gradually diminishes as the engine reaches its optimal operating temperature. What is the suggested interval for replacing the cam belt? In my opinion, the cost for these items is $100,000. However, engaging in the task at an earlier stage may not be an unfavorable notion. I am planning to undergo a Terraclean procedure, since I have previously seen positive outcomes from this treatment on other diesel vehicles. I would really appreciate any information that you can provide.
  22. The most effective approach is doing a pressure examination, as previously indicated.
  23. No reconstruction took place; the dealership only conducted an examination.
  24. When I had my 535d serviced at 102,000 miles, the mechanic only changed the fluid and filter pan after I had driven the car for 500 miles. It seems obvious to me that the filter in a vehicle has to be replaced whenever there is a need to change the fluid in the automobile. Tapatalk Message from my SM-G990B
