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.

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.

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.

Repair for the 2010-2011 E350 W212 OM642!
MrGreedy replied to MrGreedy's topic in General Discussions
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. -
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.

There seems to be a coolant leak in the W212 vehicle.
MrGreedy replied to Geek2232's topic in General Discussions
The most effective approach is doing a pressure examination, as previously indicated. -
No reconstruction took place; the dealership only conducted an examination.

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

Whine about the air conditioner, code W169.

Whine about the air conditioner, code W169.
MrGreedy replied to MrGreedy's topic in General Discussions
I'm reviving my topic since I never did figure out what was causing the whining while the engine was on. I removed the undercarriage cover to discover that the noise was not coming from the belt but rather the air conditioning pump. We need to know: what might it be?....under intense stress?Is that....? Since it had just been regassed before the noise began, I'm going to think that the pressure is too high. Any thoughts? When it comes to automobiles, air conditioning is not my forte. -

MrGreedy replied to MrGreedy's topic in General Discussions
The noise is not coming via the vents, and there is no leak. I suspect that my problem is different. Car air conditioning systems naturally lose refrigerant....up to around 10% each year....which is why it gradually becomes warmer over time and why you will need to recharge it every few years to maintain it at 100% efficiency. The low pressure switch should turn off the air conditioner to prevent damage. -
Which is it, the red or the white?! Anyway, I've lately observed that the subtle engine speed whine that has always been there in my wife's low-mileage A169 A Class (A170 Elegance) has gotten substantially louder. Having crawled under the vehicle (if you've never worked on one of these, the engine is essentially beneath the car; changing the spark plugs requires you to do so!! ), we had a look. The noise is most likely coming from the air conditioning compressor, which is located next to the driver's door on the driver's side of the vehicle. All systems are go, yet the AC is STILL frigid. I'm curious to know whether anybody else has experienced this and, if so, how they resolved it. For the record, my wife had the air conditioner recharged throughout the summer without incident. However, that was many months ago, and the whining has just now become more evident, so it might just be a coincidence. Please let me know if you have any ideas or further information.

The m276 torque settings for the NOx sensor
MrGreedy replied to Chrishazle's topic in General Discussions
This response is somewhat extensive. First of all, tell me how the faulty upstream NOx sensor was identified. There have been at least four versions that I am aware of on this side, but the newest and greatest has an NGK sensor tip linked to a Bosch solid state box approximately halfway up the cord, and this setup generates its very own computer page. What is the component number listed on the box's reverse side? Let's say the new part was better than the old one, but it still required SCN coding after installation so that it could communicate with the engine control module (ECM). The upstream NOx sensor must provide NOx information in LIVE DATA., and the automobile must re-generate automatically after around 30 miles of driving once the technology has been implemented. If there is almost any measurable signal, either air is leaking into the "zorst system upstream or the Cat is blocked. The EBP and diff pressure sensor data should then be validated in HPa. So you go back to the store to find out what happened.. When doing a road test, if upstream is confirmed to be functioning, what is the function of the rear NOx sensor? When the system is functioning, the two numbers should be added together, and there should be at least a 50% decrease throughout the SCR cat. More than 75% decrease is possible with new sensors and an SCR cat. So far, we've been able to prove at least that it's functional by touching the scan tool and printing out the numbers as you drive with an aide. According to your description, the system "sees" after a number of drive cycles that the two sensors are not SCN coded and can't "talk" to one another. It's like attempting to go on a date with a stunning foreign beauty if you can't communicate with her in her own language. Exists confusion! Oh my, Mr. Smoothy, you blew a golden chance. Third Proposition and Question Adblue DEF fluid MUST be injected into the system as necessary for NOx reduction to take place. A bidirectional scan tool was also used to verify fluid injection into the SCR cat through the DEF pump.The pump has to be able to produce 5000 HPa, have the pressure backed down by the return system, and have an operating pressure of around 3600 HPa. These are crucial, as is making sure the DEF fluid has the right specific gravity and that the dosing injector hasn't been clogged with crystals. So, here's the useful Certainly, you can use an O2 plug. Use a long knuckle bar and opt for a cranked approach; don't tinker with it. When I'm sure the sensor is bad, I'll occasionally just snip the wires at the end of the harness and use a double-depth 1/2-inch socket to pry the thing out. If the boss is stuck, you may require a penetrant like Plus Gas and a plumber's MAP gas torch to loosen it. About what would a shop charge once installed? About $250, including programming and a road test to verify the system's performance; the client receives and keeps the test printouts on the completed R/O. I'm hoping that clarifies things for you. Best wishes👍 -
The m276 torque settings for the NOx sensor
MrGreedy replied to Chrishazle's topic in General Discussions
As a general rule, yes. After cleaning and clearing the threads, insert the sensor and turn it in until it is flush with the housing. You may recycle one in thirds. Alternatively consult the NGK O2 sensor experts who MB hired to do it (NOx sensors) "right" as the chassis is identical:-. Adjust the torque according the guidelines below: M18 sensors (threaded sensors of 18mm diameter) - Tighten the O2 sensor socket to 26-33 foot-pounds by hand before giving it a half turn to a full turn with a wrench. M12 sensors (threaded sensors, 18 mm in diameter) Wrench/O2 sensor socket, 13.2–17 ft. lbs., finger tight installation, then 3/4–1 turn. Remember the old nursing adage, "Steady as she goes," and tighten everything just as much as necessary to avoid crushing the sealing washer on the new sensor. Yes, they must be SCN coded in with a Star, but some small businesses pay to have this done by Autologic, which offers remote wifi program assistance. Tuercas viejas Andele pues Amistades -
Roof drain clogged, CL500, C216, or W221
MrGreedy replied to Alex1978's topic in General Discussions
I've tried using plastic-coated curtain wire and, if that doesn't work, welding rod with a copper coating. The drain tube requires special attention since it is easily broken. Is the bulkhead drain not working since it's next to the bonnet hinge? To get this one out of the way, I had to use welding rod to climb up behind the arch liner. -
Which remapping or tuning service is ideal for an SL400?
MrGreedy replied to Screwdriver_1's topic in General Discussions
In any case, do you have any recommendations for reputable businesses? And in the same vein, are there any to avoid? By the way, I am now located in Surrey.... I would contact MSL performance and GAD and inquire about the many alternatives that are available to you. -
When it came to waistbands with elastic, I had the same opinion. A warm welcome awaits you! I'm sorry, but I don't have any information on the issue with the center console.

I would just want to add that in the more than two years that we've had our C Class, we've never received a report that was entirely incorrect. I mentioned the event with the plastic bottle; the only other alarm that we've ever received was when my father-in-law shook the vehicle while it was parked and secured because he felt there could be a loose wheel bolt. I mentioned the incident with the plastic bottle. That sums it up well.

When the wind was really strong, it once triggered mine, and I received an alarm for the whole vehicle.

On October 24th, I bought a white Niro 2 with ADAP with the provision that if delivery is delayed by April 1st, 2017, the order would be cancelled and I will retain my 2015 Venga 3 auto. The dealer asserts that he is unable to get a construction or delivery date.
