To remove the residue, first remove the badge. Then, saturate a piece of kitchen roll with petrol and apply it to the residue. Allow it to sit for 30 minutes before simply scraping off the residue. I have recently used the double-sided number plate tape and it came off in less than a minute. I had been attempting to remove a substance by scraping for almost 30 minutes using WD40 and other methods, but I did not make any progress.

I am pleased to report that everything has been successfully resolved. The steering wheel adaptor effectively performs its function, resulting in a fully operational system. It is only a question of locating the appropriate individual who has the necessary equipment. Thank you everyone for your assistance.

Hello, thank you for your message. I followed the necessary steps to detach the battery and watched an informative YouTube video on how to remove it. However, I have been informed that because the battery is from a later model of the C class, it would need programming to be compatible with the vehicle. I am hoping that someone who has experience with this will provide guidance on how to proceed.

Hello everyone, I have just replaced the steering wheel of my 2016 220 w205 with a 2019 model. However, I am now seeing two error codes and the horn and buttons are not functioning properly. The error codes are as follows: The user's text is "B00012B". The squib for the driver's airbag, also known as stage 1, is a component of the vehicle's safety system. A malfunction has occurred due to a short circuit between the electrical lines. The B000213 code indicates a malfunction in the driver's airbag stage 2 squib, specifically an open circuit. Could someone provide guidance on the necessary steps and requirements?

Over time, intake pipes become rigid and fragile, causing them to lose their grip and perhaps leading to an increase in RPM.

Is there a vacuum leak originating from the intake hoses?

The input for the 2006 SL350 (R230) AUX.
Howard_silver replied to WordSmith's topic in General Discussions
The R230SL... The first generation, spanning from the commencement to the conclusion of the Model Year (MY) 2004, included the Comand 2.0DX, which featured an AUX socket. Conversely, the SL350, as the default, featured the Audio-30, which lacked an AUX input. From MY2005 to 2008, the second generation of the Comand NTG1 (Siemens version) lacked the AUX capabilities. The MY2009 end of the third generation is equipped with COMAND NTG2.5 and has an AUX socket. Sir, yours is the second generation. The sole solution is the use of a costly Dension adaptor, which serves as a substitute for the CDC changer and offers features such as AUX and Bluetooth Audio, contingent upon the specific version. Alternatively, an FM transmitter that may be tuned into via radio. -
The failure code for the E90 335D map sensor is 41AA.

Has the 41AA code been rectified? The code on my automobile is same. -
The dashboard has been inundated with warnings.

An excessive amount of silica gel remaining in the vehicle will garner and assimilate moisture. I store one in the boot to prevent moisture from entering. -

I had previously used this product when I encountered a similar situation with Rain-X. Exclusively Glaco Cleaner. They provide an alternative product with a covering that is comparable to rain-x. -
Fortunately, there was no discharge of oil in either the intake or exhaust. During the cleaning of the car's DPF, I saw that the temperature sensors were taken out. However, I also noted that one of the sensors had previously been replaced. However, it is the older one that is now being highlighted. I believe it is likely the valve. It is unfortunate that it was not done when the rest was disassembled, since it seems to be difficult to remove. Do you believe that both the cooler and the valve might be responsible for the issue? While deletion may seem like a more favourable choice, it is important to understand the process and if it can be done independently (except the ECU reprogramming, of course). Thank you for the guidance, very appreciated.

Thank you for responding. The intake manifold has been thoroughly cleaned, but it was not excessively obstructed. I am not aware of the specific details of the ports, but I would presume that they were inspected during the removal of the intake. To clarify, the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) systems have not been removed and are still intact. It is important to note that these error codes were not there prior to the repair of the turbocharger, which is why I am unable to comprehend what would have caused the problem.

I just obtained a 2013 Countryman R60 1.6 Cooper D that was experiencing a lack of power and was in a reduced performance mode, supposedly due to problems with the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). The previous owner had the local dealership do an investigation and test several sensors (such as MAP, MAF, DPF pressure, boost pressure, etc.) in an attempt to diagnose the issue with the DPF, which was not indicating any faults. It was discovered that the turbo was damaged because the central shaft had fractured. Subsequently, the turbo has been rebuilt, along with a new oil feed line. Additionally, the EGR valve was removed and thoroughly cleaned, and the DPF was taken out and carefully cleaned. The vehicle has been rebuilt, but it is now displaying many new fault codes that were not there before. Additionally, it is entering limp mode and the warning light indicating decreased engine power is illuminated on the dashboard. The codes mostly pertain to EGR issues, including 4B81, 40E9, 4C9E, 40A4, and 4987. The automobile will operate for about one mile before experiencing a problem, and it may even have faults while idling. Although all the pipes and hoses seem to be in good condition, I am becoming more frustrated with deciding on the most appropriate course of action. Assistance would be much appreciated.
