  1. Is this considered a legitimate 'service item' according to Mercedes Benz? Typically, drive units of this kind are sold as a single part by dealers, without including any internal components. Typically, an innovative individual on the internet provides "home made" components to individuals who want to handle their own repairs. In some drives, such as this one, the gear made of 'plastic' is intentionally engineered to be sacrificial. It serves as the weak point that is meant to break when the mechanism is subjected to excessive stress. Without any particular relevance or connection. One of the machines I often use features a gearbox with an electrically operated overload mechanism, followed by a clutch. In the event of a malfunction, a brass pin shears off, causing the whole system to come to a relatively safe halt. On many occasions, I have arrived to the site to see that the local experts had already started dismantling the whole machine, with bits scattered around, only to realise much later that the shear pin was already broken. Men often neglect to read the instruction manual. The thread hijack has ended.
  2. ^ Europeans exhibit a high level of compliance with regulations and requirements consistently. I see several films with unsightly yellow front licence plates detracting from the appearance of your sports automobiles. In the United States, our nation was founded through acts of rebellion. We are indifferent to the legality of an exhaust modification; we will find a method to proceed with it nonetheless. Indeed, we have a greater preference for it if it is unlawful. Throughout the United States, many sports vehicles are being driven without front licence plates, despite the fact that they are legally required. If I had an OPF, I would remove it from my vehicle with such swiftness that it would vanish before you could complete the utterance of "Otto-Partikelfilter"!
  3. However, is it only the exhaust valve control? Wasn't there also the implementation of particle filters (in Europe) that influenced the sound?
  4. Perhaps I can uncover pertinent information in the service history that will explain the nature of each component. It seems that the previous owner had all additional features, including a garage door opener, installed. The historical document is remarkable, thus it is possible that there may be a hint included within it.
  5. I am unable to perceive anything. The 2005 CLK model was equipped with a socket specifically designed for a jack plug, allowing compatibility with any mp3 player. I had to connect the device to the power source via the cigarette lighter, which was rather inconvenient, but it functioned enough.
  6. Do you have any conjecture on the purpose of the additional wire? Apologies, I lack experience and knowledge in this area.
  7. I am reluctant to attempt disassembling anything to inspect the internal wiring.
  8. It seems like the cables have been securely connected, since they are inserted into a hole at the rear rather than being equipped with a detachable connector. I made another attempt, but unfortunately, I was still unsuccessful. Perhaps I should get an android phone in order to determine if the problem is with the iPhone. Everything seems to be functioning as expected, which is quite exasperating.
  9. I accessed the settings on my phone and it indicates that it is now linked to Bovee 1000. Upon accessing iTunes, I see that the playback option, located at the bottom of the screen beside the air play button, is enabled. However, despite being chosen, no audio is being played. If I choose the option for iPhone, the music will play via the speakers of the phone. I have increased the level on both my phone and automobile, but I am still unable to hear any sound. Should I consider using an older iPod instead of my iPhone if the issue is perhaps caused by the compatibility of new and old technology?
  10. Hello, could someone kindly provide guidance on how to stream music from an iPhone via Bluetooth? I own a 2004 CLK320 that is equipped with a CD changer located in the glove box. Additionally, there is another compartment with cables and a Bovee 1000 device connected. I infer that the prior owner was use it. Bovee establishes a connection with my phone, and by pressing and holding the cdc button, the car's screen displays the auxiliary input. I have successfully downloaded a music file on my phone and increased the level, but no sound is being produced. I am currently uncertain on the next course of action to pursue. Could someone kindly inform me of what I am lacking? I was expecting a plug-and-play experience as I lack technological expertise. We would much appreciate any recommendations or advice. Thank you in advance.
  11. Verify that all the "fluids" (brakes, differential fluid, coolant, air conditioning gas, etc.) are current. For vehicles that are only used sometimes, may a different metric work better than the miles that most manufacturers use to describe changes? Vehicles perform better when driven often and kept active. Replace the battery or put it on a trickle charger if the tyres are more than five years old from the date of manufacture. The usual suspects: elastomers, seals, age-wiper blades, poly v belts, etc.
  12. As the despondent poet once said, "I do not believe it." Perhaps he had been sent in his superior's or relative's white GLB to check and adjust the tyre pressures for them. Does he dislike his work as much as he despises the idea that he can never hope to purchase a luxurious car? Perhaps the individual in question is really a prejudiced racist, who believes that any remark made by someone with a "foreign accent" is deserving of scorn, regardless of the actual substance of the speech.
  13. That statement may not always be accurate. Indeed, they do. Tuning boxes always impact computer readouts by manipulating the signals seen by the ECU.
  14. Is it true that there is now a 10-year automobile age restriction for GAD?
  15. A more convenient method to toggle it is simply by pressing the button adorned with a musical note on your central control panel. In my own opinion, I have a preference for Waze over Google Maps. By the way, Waze provides real-time traffic notifications.
  16. Not persuaded. We own a lightweight cordless hoover cleaner specifically designed for cleaning the higher levels of Casa MiW. However, it is not very powerful or aggressive in its cleaning capabilities. The Miele Cylinder is used to do the spring and deep cleaning of deep pile carpet. This is the last model of high-powered devices released prior to the implementation of EU limitations. I have been informed that it is unsatisfactory, similar to the owner of a Ford Escort Convertible. I am not knowledgeable about such matters.
  17. Indeed, it certainly accumulates dust when left down continuously. Despite being stored within my garage, my vehicle usually accumulates dust when I return to it. However, I personally find the automobile unattractive while the top is up.
  18. Over the course of 4 years, I estimate that I have raised the top of the car around 10 times. Almost always, it was down 99% of the time. I have never had any problems with creasing that were not resolved by ironing.
  19. The price of £17,500 is the most affordable I have come across. There is no need for contemplation, as long as the vehicle has a clear Hpi report. However, it is possible that it may have been classified as a category D, as previously mentioned. If you have enough money to spend, I recommend purchasing the vehicle and using it often. However, be prepared to replace the rear tyres every 5,000 to 6,000 miles, which will cost roughly £350 for a pair. Additionally, expect a fuel efficiency of around 15-20 miles per gallon, maybe even lower initially if you are unable to drive the car in a sensible manner, unless your wife is with you.
  20. Purchased an additional bottle to ensure I never exhaust my supply fully 😎

  22. The source of the item was Partsinmotion, more precisely their eBay shop named partsinmotion. It seems that the item is no longer available for sale, however please be aware that there are alternative options that appear to contain the same component. The item is categorised and identified by its Mahle part number, thus it will not appear in search results if you search for E270. Uncertain whether this is identical to yours
  23. I replaced the faulty component on my E220 with a Mahle replacement. You should be able to simply get one of them.
  24. Local Interconnect Network (LIN). The system operates on a 12-volt power supply and uses serial communication. A single master device, such as an ECU, governs one or several subordinate devices, such as a glow controller and an alternator. The slaves only transmit data in response to a request initiated by their master. That is distinct from the Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol, where each device functions as a master and autonomously transmits data without requiring explicit requests.
