  1. We appreciate your assistance. Undoubtedly, if I were in the United Kingdom, I would offer you the job. I really valued all of your messages and guidance. If I had the N18 harness and ECU, I would undoubtedly use the whole B18 engine. Another consideration is that my gearbox is automatic, so I need the appropriate Electronic Control Unit (ECU), correct?Uncertain
  2. Thank you for your feedback. I am unwilling to have a head replacement. I want to restore and upgrade it, and then mount it on a N18 cylinder block with a mileage of just 40,000 km. I am inquiring about the feasibility of achieving interference-free operation between pistons and valves.
  3. Cylinder 2 of my N14B16A is not experiencing any compression. Carbon is present on valves. The pistons have a deep black coloration. The cylinder head has not yet been removed. The odometer indicates a number of 300,000 miles, although it is uncertain if the engine is original. The cam chain tensioner is an improved variant. Therefore, I believe that the engine was upheld, at least initially. Since the engine has accumulated a minimum of 150,000 km, it is in need of a new lease. Locating second-hand N14 engines with low mileage is quite difficult. A low mileage N18B16A with ancillaries was determined to be more cost-effective compared to a short block. I have heard that compatibility is limited to the changing of the ECU and CAS from the N18. However, I am curious whether it is possible to replace the N14 head and oil pump with the N18 in order to get an almost new engine. From my observation, the pistons, intake valves, and camshafts differ between the N14 and N18 models. There is no difference between the exhaust valves, crankshaft, and head gasket. Can the valves not make contact with the pistons? We appreciate any suggestions.
  4. Would an OB SCANNER be less useful? I came up a previous discussion on this topic from 2009. It seemed at the time that the purchase was exclusive and came with a high price. Is it still the same? Can a VAG-COM cable be purchased at a reasonable price, such as on Amazon, or are we still dealing with proprietary pricing? Is there a cost for the software?
  5. OBDII was created for vehicles manufactured after 1996, whereas VAGCOM was specifically a Windows software user interface developed for Audi and VW vehicles. How does VACOM impact the current landscape with the multitude of OBD II Scanners in use today? Do you need to get a VAGCOM interface and link it between an OBD II scanner and the OBDII Port on your AUDI? Do you need a scanner that is specifically bundled with the VAGCOM user interface and diagnostic capabilities? Could someone provide further details?
  6. Based on my research, I won't take a chance on another Mercedes with AdBlue, since it seems I was fortunate in my experience.
  7. I had a Mercedes W205 2017 C220d 9G-Tronic for almost 2 years, travelling mostly on dual carriageways and in town traffic with some highway use. I did not have any problems during this time. Compliant with ULEZ regulations and subject to a yearly fee of £30. Bought a certified pre-owned vehicle with a complimentary 2-year service plan, just had to pay for the MOTs. Inexpensive transportation until it was stolen from my driveway
  8. Have you verified the proper functionality of the new pressure sensor? I recommend revisiting this matter if you have not done so before. If you own the appropriate SAN tool, you should be capable of discerning the cause behind the most recent 16 regenerations. May provide clarification.
  9. It seems that the system believes it has reached its capacity and initiates a regeneration process. After each combustion, the soot residue is deposited as ash, which gradually accumulates and obstructs the diesel particulate filter (DPF). As far as I know, in order to eliminate the ash, one must dismantle the diesel particulate filter (although I lack expertise in this matter). What method did you use to cleanse the diesel particulate filter (DPF)?
  10. Do all automobiles possess such capability?....I have never operated a vehicle that did not have this feature. It enables you to go slowly in congested traffic without using the accelerator, and typically prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards on gentle inclines.
  11. The C207, often known as the E-Class Coupe, was derived from the W204, which is the C-Class Saloon. The C238 represents a novel floorplan configuration.
  12. I have been using a Halfords window cleaner without encountering any issues so far.
  13. The combination of a Pierburg Water Pump with a Meyle thermostat consistently meets my requirements.
  14. One potential course of action to consider is initiating the replacement of the switch as a first step.
  15. Is it possible that there is a problem with the switch or ballast boxes in the headlights?
  16. if your supplier is unwilling to cooperate, would it be advisable to consider engaging in a conversation with this individual? Comand Online Ltd offers various products, including map discs, Bluetooth devices, phone kits, and CDC kits, at discounted prices. During the limited duration of my presence in this community, I have found the individual in question to possess commendable literary merit and a well-established position in comprehending the intricacies associated with the COMAND platform.
  17. Indeed, it is not advantageous to rev a diesel engine since doing so would result in the loss of peak torque while shifting gears, owing to the non-linear torque curve. There was an instance reported when a diesel vehicle owner engaged in revving their engine to the maximum rotational speed (5000rpm), resulting in a subsequent gear change that caused the engine speed to decrease to about 3900rpm. This action led to a total oversight of the optimal torque output, which was seen to occur at 2000rpm.
  18. Definitely The torque range, similar to that of a two-stroke motorcycle, imparts a heightened sensation of speed, reminiscent of the Yamaha LC 350 from earlier times, which was renowned for its exhilarating performance. In comparison, the high-torque GS 1000 Suzuki offers a different, although equally noteworthy, experience.
  19. The torque curve, as previously shown, is a graphical representation of the relationship between torque and rotational speed. The greater torque at low rpm likely results in more horsepower. Diesel engines often provide a perception of early acceleration superiority, although their performance diminishes due to a limited capacity for high revolutions. Additionally, it is worth noting that the gearing may exhibit significant variations. Lastly, it should be noted that a brick has a lower degree of aerodynamic efficiency.
  20. Based on the aforementioned information, the cost of purchase and installation is rather affordable. It is likely that a competent mechanic would possess the necessary skills to do the task, hence obviating the requirement for a professional.
  21. The terms "valve" and "solenoid" may be used interchangeably to some extent. I purchased the lines from Mercedes for around £30. It is worth noting that the lines were provided in separate parts that required assembly, which may be considered unconventional. Additional perspectives on this matter are welcome.
  22. As a recent member, there is a lack of information on the specific engine model in your possession, as well as an absence of approximate knowledge of the potential source of the oil leakage. Despite these uncertainties, you are seeking assistance. I recommend taking the vehicle to an automotive professional for inspection and repair. If driving the vehicle to a technician is not feasible, contacting a mobile mechanic or an individual with rudimentary understanding of automobile mechanics may be a suitable alternative to begin the repair process.
