  1. I have identified the issue at hand. What steps should I take in order to rectify it?
  2. There are no visible drains in the area. Instead, there is a plastic cover with a grill-like structure. There is no barrier between Sam and the plastic cover, allowing water to flow directly onto Sam via the plastic grill.
  3. In the case of a 2009 sedan, it is seen that water is directly impacting the front driver side of the vehicle, namely the Sam unit. The question at hand is to the normalcy of this occurrence.
  4. Please do a search on the eBay platform for Mercedes vehicles available in the Newcastle area. Service kits, consisting of 10 litres of the appropriate oil and a Mercedes oil filter, are available for purchase at a competitive price. The engine requires around 8 to 8.5 litres of oil while undergoing a filter replacement.
  5. Would the inclusion of the vehicle model and engine type be beneficial in providing us with relevant information?
  6. However, it is important to ensure that if you choose to keep Surfex in a container other than its original packaging, such as a spray bottle for diluted solution, the container must be appropriate to prevent any potential leakage. The source of my knowledge cannot be disclosed.
  7. There is a little amount of information available. Typically, I choose for using commercially available grocery products, which I dilute in accordance with recommended proportions. Primarily, it is intended for the purpose of protecting wheel arches and carpets, however it must be acknowledged.
  8. The aforementioned statement seems to be commendable. The appearance of genuine leather is well replicated in the following image.💪
  9. The subframe of my W212 E-Class vehicle is now undergoing repairs under warranty. It is worth noting that the automobile does not possess a complete Mercedes-Benz service history, despite being about nine years old.
  10. One becomes used to the concept of torque. I did not know when to change gears, as I was operating the vehicle at its maximum torque output. Consequently, I resorted to using the paddle shifters, as the car appeared to rev higher when left in automatic mode. However, an individual, possibly from this platform or another social media platform, presented me with empirical evidence that demonstrated the superiority of the automatic mode. It became apparent that the car, when allowed to rev beyond the point at which I would typically shift g
  11. It is quite likely that the process will be expedited. Assuming all other variables remain constant (although this assumption may not hold true in reality), an increase in torque at a given rotational speed would result in a corresponding increase in power. Consequently, in the absence of any other differentiating factors, it may be inferred that the object in question would exhibit greater speed.
  12. The graph provides evident indication that the S4 exhibits superior beginning acceleration, hence I am perplexed by your lack of comprehension.
  13. Indeed, the diesel engine will reach its maximum power output at around 3500 RPM or thereabouts. Throughout my experience, I have mostly owned diesel vehicles with horsepower ratings of up to 400. However, I find that my M4 model subjectively seems quicker than these aforementioned diesel vehicles. Notably, the M4's engine is capable of revving above 7000 RPM. It is worth mentioning that the M4 has much less torque in comparison to my 640d, which boasts an impressive torque rating of 800 Newton-meters, for instance.
  14. Could you please provide an explanation for your failure to acknowledge my response?
  15. The Eibach Pro Kit springs are renowned for their high quality and are designed to effectively reduce the vehicle's ride height by around 30mm. I had the variable valve timing with intelligence (VVTi) system installed on my 2004 vehicle for an extended duration. I must own my lack of familiarity with K Flex.
  16. The 190 model does not come equipped with the 2B760 rear shocks, hence there is no need to change them in order to accommodate the Apex springs. Nevertheless, in the event that your vehicle has accumulated a substantial mileage, it is likely that the shock absorbers may exhibit signs of wear and fatigue. Consequently, it may be prudent to contemplate their replacement, particularly with regard to the front shocks.
  17. High-quality coilovers for a Gen 7 vehicle are somewhat costly, exceeding £700 in addition to the expenses associated with installation, particularly for the Meister brand. Consequently, I would suggest considering a more economical solution.The topic of discussion pertains to Apex lowering springs. These particular items possess the desired 35mm drop and are priced just over £100. However, it is recommended to get replacement drop links in anticipation of maybe needing to remove the corroded ones. It is recommended to schedule a professional laser wheel alignment a few weeks subsequent to the installation of the springs.
  18. I am now residing in the state of Florida and I am pleased to report that none of our automobiles emit any unpleasant odours.
  19. The 2019 740 I drive has 19-inch wheels and provides a silky smooth ride.
  20. The lines are assembled by a push-fit mechanism, requiring precise cutting of the ends to ensure they are completely square. It is advisable to consider treating them as single-use items in order to minimize the risk of potential information breaches. Upon purchasing a replacement valve block from Autodoc, I also acquired a cutter, which, if memory serves me well, was priced at a nominal amount of pounds. Purchasing the airline and fittings separately is a recommended approach, since the official Merc item includes an extraneous brass connection on one end for joining two lengths of airline. However, it seems logical from my perspective to just have a complete and uninterrupted sequence. The brass connection itself is also not inexpensive. It is important to mention that the valve block and lines are equipped with color markings. Therefore, it is advisable to name them accordingly before beginning the disassembly process. The Merc Indy that was used in the given context proved to be erroneous, hence resulting in a multitude of complications. Another someone named Indy made the necessary corrections. Ultimately, I opted to use Mercedes-Benz components, with the exception of the valve block. Recalling from memory, I recall that there were several web sites offering a wide array of airline and fittings. It may be advantageous to consider using Autodoc as a potential source for automotive components. Personally, I have procured air bags and a valve block from this supplier and have not encountered any issues pertaining to the shipping process or other related matters. When examining the suspension, it is advisable to also inspect the plastic height sensor rods. One of my possessions had been damaged at one extremity. I acquired a substitute adjustable metal variant from an online marketplace known as eBay.
  21. After having replaced all components on my device, I would prioritize doing the same action. The cost is rather low, and because to the extensive concealment of the lines, the effectiveness of utilizing soapy water cannot be definitively determined. I was unable to detect the aircraft leak on my equipment, even using the appropriate leak spray solution.
  22. The prevention of engine cold running is a crucial consideration. It has been observed that diesel emissions tend to be elevated when the engine is not functioning at its ideal temperature.
