Is the MAF sensor still dirty after you cleaned it? This was a common occurrence for my C250TD when I was using it.

Those interested in classic racing might find this interesting..... Colourized restored footage. Proper racers get 180mpg on public roads with skinny tires! It makes all racing look very safe now.

Maybe being "Comand Online" was thought to be too limiting.

My "susjestion" [] is that you shouldn't squander either of those things. This diesel engine has a very specific range of power. The point isn't really about the intake noise.

When did the issues commence? Should the ATF change occur prior to or subsequent to this? What is a reliable and esteemed oil brand utilised? Is the oil level verified twice? Is the TCU and connector plug devoid of oil?

This is effective for you as you possess the requisite knowledge. I would not recommend this without additional direction and a comprehensive list of cautions. What is the rationale for charging both batteries using a single charger? The starter battery (in an R230 or a vehicle with comparable batteries) experiences no external load (while stationary) and can endure an extended period without recharging. The consumer battery powers the operational components and may require upkeep if the vehicle is stationary for an extended period. Provided everything is satisfactory, a duration of three weeks should pose no issues, whereas an extended timeframe would.

If it is the concentric bearing, a fluid leak should be observable at the base of the bell housing; thus, if it is dry, the issue pertains to the clutch, necessitating the removal of the gearbox for thorough inspection.

It seems like a clutch issue, either with the master or slave cylinder, even though you've bled the slave. Since you said that it engages after a few pumps of the pedal, I'd say it's either the master or the slave. Good luck!

By any chance, were you a Kia dealer in Botley, Southampton? Then I wholeheartedly agree; if that's the case, send me a private message.

Acclimating to the return of a spacious four-seater, Ant. The technology is remarkable, significantly surpassing that of my previous 2015 W212 E63; however, I am fortunate to have a head start due to my experience with the MBUX system in the A-Class. In certain respects, it resembles returning to the AMG family, yet in other aspects, it feels akin to entering an audacious new realm. This weekend marks my inaugural extensive journey in it, thus I will have additional insights to share afterward; however, it has been remarkably impressive thus far.

Apologies... A considerable amount of money is lacking, if you don't object. 😉😆

I believe six months of inventory must now be registered. I doubt that anyone today would invest a significant amount in a vehicle that has been discontinued for three or four years, especially considering the increasingly stringent emission regulations. For instance, a Mondeo registered now would likely fail to meet the current emissions standards.
