I have replaced the engine control module sensor, not the map sensor. Does it have value to attempt? -

Is this the sensor that is connected to the mass air flow (MAF) sensor? -
Assistance Requested for Fault Code P0237

Upon doing a more thorough examination, the issue remains unresolved. I have conducted a thorough and exhaustive search, however I have been unable to detect any evidence of a leak. Based on the little increase I am experiencing, I am inclined to believe that a leak is not the cause. The vehicle exhibits a notable lack of responsiveness during operation. It is quite probable that the issue is related to the engine management system. Furthermore, I have replaced the ECM (Engine Control Module) without seeing any discernible impact. -

I have just acquired a new Mercedes-Benz C250 Sport model, which has the registration plate of "13," and has a very low mileage of 57,000 on the odometer. Following three days of use, the electronic malfunction indicator lamp (EML) has been activated, resulting in hesitation during operation and preventing the engine from beyond 3,000 revolutions per minute (RPM). After consulting with a technician acquaintance, the vehicle had a diagnostic scan which revealed the presence of fault code P0237. I have previously attempted the installation of an other engine control module, although no discernible alteration in performance has been seen. Furthermore, it is not possible to visually detect any signs of a split pipe. Does anybody have any criticisms or other points that I may have overlooked?

I am a resident of Malaysia and I have seen a current concern with bumper-related matters. I reached out to Range Rover Malaysia, who informed me that the vehicle in question had over both the warranty and recall term. Consequently, they have said that they would not assume responsibility for addressing the problem at hand. Regrettably, no correspondence or communication was received by the undersigned to apprise them of the recall pertaining to the aforementioned issue within the stipulated warranty timeframe. I really want that an individual may provide me with a conceptual framework for resolving the aforementioned predicament. Thank you for your response.

S204 C63. Normal to have mismatched door sill plates?
keithmerc220 replied to ML350_Colin's topic in General Discussions
It seems likely that a significant number of others have a similar viewpoint. However, this assertion is not supported by evidence or logical reasoning. In the realm of automotive insurance, it is observed that older, less costly vehicles are more often declared as total losses due to minor damages, whilst newer vehicles tend to evade such categorization. Furthermore, there exists a positive correlation between the age and cost of a car, with a higher likelihood of it being unrecorded as the vehicle becomes newer and more expensive. As the adage suggests, consumers should exercise caution while making purchases. -

After doing a comprehensive search on several platforms, including Google, it has come to my attention that there are many negative reviews and concerns about customer relations in the post-purchase phase. -

I have not encountered any negative feedback on them, and I have extensively conducted research on many tuners. However, I have decided to choose for BWchiptune as my preferred choice. They are a sponsor on this platform, and I recommend exploring the sponsor forum for more information. -
In the event of a transaction involving a private seller, it is considered unethical to sell a motor vehicle that has previous issues without providing full disclosure of this pertinent information to the buyer. It may be advantageous to begin a discourse on the potential for him to remedy the current circumstances.

I am not acquainted with the precise type of carburetor you own, hence I can only discuss broad ideas pertaining to constant velocity (CV) carburetors. One notable characteristic of the Stromberg carburetor is the lack of a distinct idle circuit. The gasoline required for idling must be supplied by the jet in which the needle is positioned. The task at hand is somewhat challenging due to the little fuel use during idle as compared to regular operation, rendering it highly susceptible to needle positioning during idle. The process starts with the elevation of the piston, which subsequently raises the needle out of the jet, so allowing an increased flow of fuel. The issue pertains to the stationary orientation of the piston and needle. As previously discussed, it was noted that the modification of the mixture ultimately results in the elevation of the piston; nevertheless, the insufficiency of the mixture hinders its ability to sustain operation. This phenomenon may be attributed to the influence of the mixture modification on the whole spectrum of operation. There may exist several methods for modifying the needle's resting position with relation to the jet. Subsequent iterations of CD3 carburetors had a needle height adjustment mechanism that could be conveniently accessed from the top using a long Allen key. However, it seems that your particular carburetor does not possess this specific feature. Are you aware of the precise model identification of your carburetor?
-
Prior to making any carburetor adjustments, it is imperative to first verify the float level, since an inaccurate level will significantly affect the fuel-air mixture, particularly at idling. Based on the information provided in the 190e Haynes manual, it is recommended that the float level be set between the range of 18-19mm. Subsequently, proceed to manipulate the idle speed screw, which is distinguished by its greater length, while acknowledging the presence of the alternative fast idle adjustment screw. The appropriate fluid for the damper should exceed the required viscosity, and its level should reach the bottom of the inspection hole. However, these factors are not relevant to the idle setting, nor is the condition of the diaphragm.
-
The aforementioned are carburetors that operate at a consistent velocity and function in a uniform manner. During the idle state, the piston should remain stationary, resulting in no upward movement. Consequently, the diaphragm does not exert any influence. The idling condition of an engine is influenced by the positioning of the piston and needle. Therefore, if the engine fails to idle properly, it is likely due to a misadjustment in either the piston and needle positioning or the enrichment device. The conventional throttle stops regulate the degree to which the butterfly valve is open at idle. However, there is also a separate stop for the piston and the ability to modify the height of the needle. The dashpot functions as a damper that restricts the rate of piston ascent, leading to a transient increase in air velocity inside the venturi. Consequently, this induces a momentary enrichment in the air-fuel mixture or simulates the effect of an accelerator pump. The primary influence of this phenomenon is seen in the acceleration response.

The head gasket, alas, seems to be the culprit. Before taking the heads off, you'll want to take the manifold gasket off so you can check it. Although I am no expert on the Rover V8 engine, I have noticed that it often has head gasket failure and coolant pressure issues. Right now I'm investigating the same problem you are. Having coolant leak out with no additional warnings. The head gasket allows the cylinder pressures to escape into the water system without the water reentering the cylinders. The coolant pressure is much lower than the cylinder pressure. Therefore, fortunately, there is no "white smoke" coming out of your tailpipe. If steam was really coming out of the exhaust, I wouldn't recommend stopping there and only replacing the head gaskets. After removing the engine's cylinder heads, I saw that one of the studs had loosened its threads, which caused the block face to rise around the stud holes, revealing a leak from the engine's rear cylinder into the cooling system.

One thing I will mention. My Series 1 was formerly equipped with 205s. It wasn't an issue most of the time, but I noticed that the front tires might grab at the rear of the wheel well and bend the sheet metal if I hit a bump or otherwise caused the suspension to flex while turning. This was on the other side of the well from where I was turning. In these cases, the broader front was a concern, but the wider rear was never an issue.

At the beginning of the next month, I anticipate that you will have a new vehicle to detail. I've been following another discussion board.

Thanks to everyone who responded, I was able to purchase a genuine manifold from a reputable online auction house. I'm going to clean it well before putting it in. Still not ready to invest in an egr valve and cooler. When I take the vehicle apart, I'll remove the original and clean it before looking for a replacement, which may be damaged. Due to work, I won't be able to remove it and replace it until September, which is a bummer since it would mean more than a month without a vehicle, but I'll provide an update then. Once again, I appreciate it

Please help me figure out what to do next, thanks! My 2009 E91 320d has around 120k miles on the N47 engine. I took it in because the check engine light came on, and they said there was a hole in the intake manifold and the linkage and actuator for the swirl flaps had broken. In addition, this has lead me to suspect that the EGR valve and cooler are probably blocked and will need to be replaced. It would cost more to have a shop repair it with genuine BMW components than the vehicle is worth, so I'll have to come up with a solution on my own or junk it. I've been thinking about replacing my stock intake manifold with an aftermarket one, and I was wondering whether the Ridex and NTY options I've seen online are good choices, or if there are others. I have heard that after this is changed, swirl flaps should be removed, but there seems to be contradictory information regarding whether or not this is a good idea. However, I need to check the EGR before making a final decision. The equipment seems to be fragile, and the mechanical breakdown that has occurred is likely due to the exhaust gas recycling process. I get that it helps with pollutants, but breathing in already burned exhaust gas seems like a waste of energy. Since I plan on purchasing an EGR blanking/removal kit and physically removing the valve and cooler, I believe that I may safely ignore the swirl flaps. I'm confident in my ability to handle the mechanical side of things on my own (barring any unexpectedly broken nuts, etc.), but the posts I've read indicate that you'll need the software mapping after you're done. I'm not concerned with performance-oriented mapping since this is the family vehicle and I drive it like Aunt Daisy; rather, I simply want to make sure that warning lights and malfunction indicators stop appearing. Is it necessary to do this remapp immediately after the EGR has been blanked? Should I wait to get the vehicle remapped, or will driving it cause further problems? Will my automobile still be able to pass the MOT smog test? Do you have any suggestions for East Grinstead (West Sussex) area mapping software? Thanks
