Driving advice when travelling in Germany AMG
keithmerc220 replied to CyberNinja's topic in General Discussions
I concur. We recently travelled from Sheffield to St Tropez. Upon my arrival back in the UK, the landing experience gave me the sensation of jogging on unpaved terrain with all four tyres deflated. -
Enhancements to the suspension system
keithmerc220 replied to Motoman's topic in General Discussions
My vehicle is equipped with Pirelli Scorpion Zero tyres, with a size of 235/50-20. However, due to its PHEV nature, the handling of the vehicle may vary. Require outcome today. Come on you Gunners! -
Enhancements to the suspension system
keithmerc220 replied to Motoman's topic in General Discussions
Greetings! What specific aspects of the riding quality do you find displeasing? This is an uncommon complaint. Can you confirm that there are no defects or flaws in your system? For instance, if your vehicle has a dynamic suspension system, electrical issues might result in the dampers being locked, leading to an extremely rigid and uncomfortable ride. Aftermarket springs and entire systems are primarily designed to enhance the sportiness and rigidity of the automobile. -
There is no indication from anybody in this discussion that Mercedes-Benz (MB) directly engages in the production of oil. However, the underlying argument is that procuring oil from MB guarantees the use of oil with specifications specifically designed by MB for optimal performance in their gearboxes.

I have only used the fluid recommended by MB, so I question the rationale of using any other options just for the purpose of economising a little amount, given the high cost of the gearbox. There is no need for a thermometer; instead, one may get the desired outcome by embarking on an extended drive to ensure that the vehicle reaches its optimal operating temperature range of 80 to 90 degrees. Subsequently, one may proceed to assess the fluid level, which, contrary to exaggerated claims, does not possess a level of significance as pronounced as some assert. In the particular model year of your vehicle, it is conceivable that a drain plug may be present on the torque converter. However, it is important to note that these drain plugs were phased out in the years 1999 to 2000. If your vehicle is equipped with a torque converter drain plug, it eliminates the need to disassemble banjo bolts and other components. In this case, the draining process would involve around 6 litres of fluid. Conversely, if a torque converter drain plug is not there, the draining procedure would typically involve approximately 4 litres of fluid.

Store the oil in a transparent canister that allows for lateral observation. -

It is possible that no problem codes will be generated for these particular concerns. In summary, there seems to be a foreign substance contaminating the oil, and based on the absence of a milky appearance, it is likely to be diesel fuel. -

keithmerc220 replied to IrvesBMW's topic in General Discussions
While it is important to note that this scenario may not be applicable to your specific situation, there have been instances when diesel fuel has infiltrated the engine oil due to either a malfunctioning injector or fuel pump leakage. I would recommend inspecting the oil for indications of an excessive presence of diesel fuel. -

Is there a dipstick included in the 40d model similar to the one found in the 35d model? In order to access the desired component, it is necessary to detach the intake snout. -
The 229.51 oil, which refers to a specific kind of oil, is really of high quality. Additionally, the MB kits, which are associated with this oil, are known for their reliability and effectiveness. The volume is about 8 litres, which need regular verification on each occasion. Typically, I engage in the purchase of 20-liter barrels during promotional periods.

The aforementioned explanation was relayed to me some years ago by a specialist in the field of internal combustion engines. According to this expert, the reason for this phenomenon is likely attributed to a temporary lack of oil supply to the opposite side of the engine (specifically, the side housing the oil filter) at first startup, prior to the oil pump achieving optimal oil distribution throughout the engine.

What is the current mileage of your vehicle? If the vehicle in question is equipped with the E diesel engine variant mentioned in your signature, it is possible to visually inspect the timing chain by examining the oil cap. This inspection allows for an assessment of the extent to which the tensioner is extended.

To clarify, am I correct in understanding that you are referring to a potential decrease in voltage of the 12-volt battery? (Excluding the hybrid battery) -

To seek clarification, may I inquire if you have had this automobile for an extended duration or if you have just acquired it? Furthermore, may I inquire about any preceding events that occurred immediately before to the aforementioned alteration that took place a fortnight ago? I apologise for the seeming banality of my query. Is this a lengthy journey? Navigating across flooded roadways. Did the individual transport a substantial amount of weight? Has the automobile been loaned to anybody else? What is the mileage of the car? Was it serviced in the year 2023? -

Does this problem also occur in subsequent versions of MB vehicles?
