  1. I appreciate it! Do you have any estimates for the expense of replacing the timing chain and recommendations for OEM-quality brands that could be utilised? Extremely exasperating, as I have invested a considerable amount to establish it this year; I certainly wish to avoid descending into an endless abyss.

  3. I will probably replace the balance shaft if the timing chain requires substitution. Do you have any suggestions regarding timing chains or timing chain kits apart from consulting Mercedes?
  4. Greetings everyone, I possess a CLK 350 Sport featuring the subsequent engine serial number. Engine 272960 30 602445 I have recently begun to notice a significant decrease in my vehicle's performance; initially, this occurred during a cold start, and while there was no discernible rattling, the engine felt unsteady. Commencing the journey proved somewhat challenging as the gears transitioned through their cycles, the vehicle engaged into gear, and the EML illuminated... The mistake is: P0015: persistent camshaft adjustment (right) erroneous positioning of the exhaust camshaft I have not encountered any additional errors; I read that a timing chain or balance shaft could generate two concurrent codes. Regardless, the vehicle has deteriorated significantly; it now feels exceedingly sluggish and does not operate as it did a few weeks prior. Recently, I have performed the following tasks on the vehicle: - TCM refurbishment (velocity and turbine sensor malfunctions) - Replaced all six spark plugs and ignition coil packs. I am aware that several problems arose with the balance shaft in certain engines; however, I do not think mine falls within that category, despite the vehicle having 105,000 miles. In addition to the cold start noise, what other indications suggest a deteriorated timing chain or balance shaft? Furthermore, is there any knowledge regarding the availability of an aftermarket kit that meets OEM quality standards? Is this task exclusively for Mercedes? I am open to visiting the main dealership; however, if there exists a manufacturer that produced these for Mercedes, I would prefer to pursue that option. I operated the vehicle this morning for a necessary trip, and it was significantly struggling to exceed 50mph. Thank you for your assistance, as always!
  5. Because of its four-month history with the vehicle, this battery is obviously not brand new. Should be given a good run or charged.
  6. Strong mental picture of a man who, eight months later, died on the Hogs Back while driving his Mk1 Jaguar "at speed" (supposedly 80mph) after passing his team manager's Mercedes 300SL Gullwing. Mike won that Formula One race just a few months prior to his retirement. Every time I look at the painting of Mike Hawthorne's face—which happens once a month—it terrifies me. What a youthful spirit.
  7. So far, my air conditioner has only cooled the car's "interior"! 😉
  8. Yes, mine remains set to auto at 19 degrees regardless of the season. It should never be touched unless her ladyship says it should be a little warmer or cooler, but the air conditioner never turns off. Ever. Additionally, it aids in preventing glass steaming and condensation in the winter and speeds up the drying process for wet clothing in the event of a rainstorm.
  9. I understand, but there is still another contention that individuals without home charging cannot operate an electric vehicle.
  10. The presence of chargers in supermarkets is an excellent concept, as the majority of us shop weekly and can recharge our devices simultaneously, thus saving time.
  11. How did you attach the jumper cables? Should I connect directly to the battery or to the jump start terminal in the engine compartment?
  12. Not obligatory. It pertains to its performance when subjected to stress.
  13. Attempt to install an additional battery. It appears that the installed component has malfunctioned, and the internal resistance may be hindering the donor battery from supplying sufficient power to initiate the start.
