  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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)?
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. I have been using a Halfords window cleaner without encountering any issues so far.
  7. The combination of a Pierburg Water Pump with a Meyle thermostat consistently meets my requirements.
  8. One potential course of action to consider is initiating the replacement of the switch as a first step.
  9. Is it possible that there is a problem with the switch or ballast boxes in the headlights?
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. I am encountering a situation that has a striking resemblance. The owner has a 2006 S-Line A6 (3.2) vehicle and has had a recurring issue with the instrument cluster gradually losing visibility after a little duration of driving during the previous six months. As the transition into the autumn season ensues, it has come to my attention that the duration of the fading process is contingent upon the ambient temperature. The screen remains inactive for a variable duration, ranging from 10 to 22 minutes, before becoming operational. Upon activation, all functions, including the timed clock, operate seamlessly and accurately from the moment the vehicle is started. The device operates in the background, functioning behind a darkened screen, and effectively presents information in a sequential manner upon illumination. I brought the vehicle to an Audi dealership, where I was informed that the issue was a short circuit, necessitating the replacement of the instrument cluster. The estimated cost for this repair was $1600 Canadian dollars. What were the findings about the problem? Was the replacement cluster successfully operationalized? Thank you very much!
  18. Is there any knowledge on the precise etiology of the reverse gear malfunction or slippage? Is it really the clutch for the reverse gear? Possible causes for worn friction plates or mechanical loss of function or electrical issues in the valve body include wear and tear on the friction plates, mechanical malfunction, or electronic malfunctions. I am now deliberating on the following options: - The installation of a pre-owned transmission, which has the inherent risk of uncertainty about its condition. This option may be deemed acceptable if the cost is sufficiently low, but it would include a potential investment of my time. - The procurement of individual components or an upgrade kit for the transmission, the source of which remains undetermined. - The acquisition of a rebuilt transmission of superior quality, which may involve a substantial expenditure of up to $3,000, inclusive of shipping costs. I would want to get my transmission rebuilt.
  19. As previously stated, assortment boxes may be obtained through retailers such as Halfords, however it is possible that they may be available at lower prices from other sources.It is rather convenient to own such a device. I happen to own one that was acquired from Maplins few years ago. The dimension of a rivet is often not of utmost importance; but, in cases when precision is required, it becomes necessary to conduct measurements in order to get the precise size that is needed.
  20. I am encountering a similar issue, which arose subsequent to my attempt to install a non-original display. Consequently, the touchpad functionality and all associated buttons have become non-operational. Do you have any suggestions or thoughts to contribute? The voltage supplied to the touchpad was measured and found to be 12V when the ignition was activated. However, no illumination was seen. The volume, dynamics, and auto start features are all off.
  21. If the query is directed at me, I must clarify that in my previous article, when I said "high torque," I was speaking in a general sense. To be more precise, the appropriate term for the unit I was referring to would be a "pre-engaged starter." The source of my acquisition is British Starters, but, I am unaware of the specific manufacturer or the stated "torque" specifications.
