The InCarTech glass mount is inductively connected via the glass. I had a Cellnet mobile antenna identical to one installed in my vehicle, and it functioned well. An excellent alternative if you choose not to hole the roof or trunk for a shark fin style antenna.

After careful consideration, I have chosen to replace the GLE with the new Lexus 450h+ plug-in hybrid vehicle. While the Mercedes' design, looks, and spaciousness are commendable, the occasional concerns over quality and dependability provide an inconvenience and cost I did not anticipate in a 2-3 year old vehicle. Disgrace. I briefly considered the new GLE hybrid but quickly disregarded it for the aforementioned reasons. Wishing you enjoyable travels!

Astounding! Unimpressed. A mechanic acquaintance said recently, "You should have heeded my advice and purchased a Lexus."

Thank you. Unfavourable news for a three-year-old Mercedes.

I just had my 2021 GLE 350d serviced at Mercedes West London two weeks ago, during which they identified three distinct leaks on the health report video: two oil leaks and one that seemed to be a fuel/water leak, which the Mercedes technicians were unaware of at the time. The vehicle's warranty expired on January 8th of this year. I have repeatedly informed the dealer during prior warranty visits about the engine's excessive oil consumption, around 1 litre per 1500-2000 miles, among other difficulties. I was informed that these new 3-liter diesel engines had significant airflow, which is typical. Currently, there are leaks in the forefront and at a location farther back. Everything is concealed under the blankets; nothing is visible on the ground. The vehicle is aesthetically pleasing and enjoyable to operate. I am dissatisfied with several issues to date (all addressed under warranty), including a new headlight due to condensation, a rear light cluster due to indicator malfunction, two rear door control units due to windows intermittently dropping by approximately one inch (one side remains problematic), and now there is condensation on the other headlight. Additionally, there is a clunking noise from beneath when navigating our notorious potholes. What is Mercedes now manufacturing, and with what resources and personnel? Do you have any insights concerning these leaks, preferably not costly? Ha!

Imminent issue or only a malfunction?

Would disconnecting the MAF enable you to determine whether the fault code alters? Alternatively, consider use a spray MAF cleaner. -
Have you ascertained if the compromised coating is located on the inner or outer surface of the lens? These glasses experience UV degradation on the outside, which may be remedied (see to YouTube). These are really the standard Halogen H7 lights, correct? Not High-Intensity Discharge Xenon?

W205 December 2014 Gearbox Maintenance

Hello, I own a 2014 W205 2.2 diesel saloon with a 7G gearbox. What is the part number for the gearbox repair kit? Is Meyle a reputable brand? Additionally, do I need 8L or 10L of oil, and will I need to purchase any additional components for the ATF? Thank you for your assistance. -
I had my 2012 W212 serviced at Alex Crow on Monday; the subframe seems to be in excellent condition. I wish that were not the case, as I would love to get it changed prior to selling it! Particularly now, the vehicle has reached 208,000 miles! I was not anticipating another oil cooler leak.

If you choose to acquire an E350e, I would very enjoy being informed of the projected delivery date they provide. I placed an order for a fully equipped E350e on June 2nd, with the guarantee of delivery in late September; nevertheless, I now lack a construction date, despite the involvement of the dealership's General Manager. I selected the Driving Assistance package for my C350e as my primary choice. It is especially beneficial in stop-and-go traffic, so consider that in conjunction with automatic driving. What is your assessment of the Lexus? In 2008, I had a new GS450h Hybrid, which is the only vehicle I have owned for three years. I disposed of it because to its small boot, and the alteration of congestion pricing regulations resulted in the loss of its exemption; I sold it prior to the information being widely known.

Eliminate rust, apply chemical treatment to any residual rust, prime, and layer colour and clear lacquer till just above the surface level, then level with compound. The job should be almost imperceptible. Utilising a body shop for a stone chip seemed overkill to me. Particularly because one may get another chip the next day! Stone chips occur spontaneously and are mostly unavoidable. Regrettably, I lack a photograph of my former 209 bonnet, which had more chips than paint on the first foot, since it had spent its life on the freeway before to my acquisition! I did have it resprayed; however, none of the chips exhibited rust, remaining white or grey owing to galvanisation.

The tyre pressure warning light activates after about one hour.

It is a faulty connection of the wheel sensor to the chassis beneath the wheel arch. Disconnect and spray generously with contact cleaning. Done -
Simply wear a mask in their presence and proceed cautiously with both wet and dry conditions. Removing the bumper off a 2004 model vehicle may result in complications.

Have rebuilt the EGR and intake manifold with little impact; now changing the PCV and will investigate the DPF sensor.
-
All replacement components are from recognised aftermarket manufacturers.
-
Having completed that, there is no observable change. I have replaced all recognised common components that might trigger the issue code. The PCV is now in progress. Are there any unusual components or circumstances that can result in an air leak? P227906

Greetings to everyone I own a high-mileage, 460,000 km W212 E250 CDI used for a chauffeur service in Australia. A few months ago, while driving home, I had a little bump followed by a loss of power, an illuminated engine management light, and a soft limp mode. I was able to drive home but had to manually shift gears. Previously, the boost hose had split, exhibiting same symptoms; thus, I assumed it was the same issue and was able to restart the vehicle without applying sufficient weight to activate limp mode. The attempt was unsuccessful, so I brought it to a mechanic, who scanned it and retrieved the MAF code and gearbox code. Cleaned the mass air flow sensor, no results; replaced it with a non-OEM Vemio sensor, still no results. To summarise, we are essentially making random adjustments, having replaced the mass airflow sensor, another intake sensor, the EGR valve and cooler, two intercooler hoses, the intake manifold and this week, the PCV cover. The vehicle idles smoothly without any discernible unusual noises. If the PCV does not resolve the issue, we are both at a loss about the source of the air leak. The new MAF has been recalibrated, so any insights or comparable resolved cases would be very appreciated. Salutations

Did you encounter the same error while using both keys? The electronic ignition switch may lead to non-start or non-crank issues; alternatively, defects in the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft sensor might be responsible, although I would expect these to generate fault codes. -
Although I have never personally had a vehicle with Recaro seats, this brand has been renowned since the 1960s. https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a61739137/recaro-the-car-worlds-famous-seat-maker-files-for-bankruptcy/

The voltage of the alternator will remain consistent as long as the engine is operating, as previously mentioned in this discussion. A high-quality battery normally operates at a voltage of around 12.8 V. It is important to note that the battery voltage never exceeds this value. Therefore, the voltage output of your alternator would range between 13.8 V and 14.2 V. Regrettably, this does not indicate that your battery is completely charged.

Steering wheel experiencing vibrations at speeds over 55mph.

If you are satisfied with the balance of the wheels, it is possible that there is some debris trapped between the wheel flange and hub assembly. Remove the front wheels and gently use emery cloth to smooth the two surfaces that will come into contact, ensuring a flawless fit when the wheels are reattached. -
Ha ha, I was under the impression that you meant "sock" as in the slang term for a filter.
-
Socks won't filter like a real filter. Some turbos use plastic impellers, which may be damaged by tiny particles since the filtering isn't effective.
