What is the recommended waiting period after repainting a few panels before proceeding with machine polishing and ceramic coating for the car? Is a duration of 3-4 weeks sufficient?

There is no need to reset them, particularly if you are not experiencing any issues. After replacing the mass air flow (MAF) and oxygen (O2) sensors in my 116i, I did not reset them since the vehicle performed well and achieved much improved fuel efficiency.

To be honest, considering the mileage, if the vehicle is functioning well, there are no warning lights on the dashboard, it has had a relatively recent MOT, and a reasonably decent service history, then that is the most you can hope for when buying a used car. As previously stated, an increase in mileage directly corresponds to an increase in maintenance requirements. Undoubtedly, there will be elements that need evasive action.

In my opinion, my experience demonstrates the rationality of exploring several options before making a decision. The independent store closest to me is located very far away, however the F1 store is nearby and easily accessible.

I am curious about the level of similarity between the rear brakes of a 203 model and a 204 model. Recently, I had a very similar issue with the rear brakes of my 2008 S204 C220. It was discovered that the rear nearside calliper was entirely damaged, which was evident when I retrieved my vehicle and saw the calliper and disc. The cost of replacing the rear pads, 2 discs, calliper, wear sensor (all Pagid) and doing a brake fluid change at F1 Autocentres Ashford was far more than £150, amounting to an additional £500. Their pricing system incorporates menu pricing, eliminating the need for a separate labour fee on the invoice. The set of pads and the 2 discs were priced at £91.50 apiece, totaling £274.50. The calliper cost £180.40, the wear sensor cost £66, and the brake fluid replacement cost £33.33. All prices are subject to the additional 20% VAT. Receiving an unpleasant phone call was unexpected, since I was anticipating an issue with the front brake pads costing about £150. I was aware of the presence of wear sensors on both sides of the front brakes, but I was unaware that there is also a wear sensor on the rear NS (but not the OS!). The front brake pads and discs were replaced 8 years and 50,000 miles ago. This is how I discovered that I had wear sensors on both sides, even though my vehicle identification number (VIN) indicates that I should only have one on one side. The technician found two sensors, so they had to use an old one to complete the repair. Fortunately, the fronts were undamaged, and the brake pads still have an ample amount of material - a relief indeed!

Purchase and transport one litre of DOT 5 / 5plus brake fluid (see the specifications) in order to save a few pounds.

A brake warning system is meant to activate when the brake pad has just 4 millimetres of remaining thickness. (After about 80% usage) The brake fluid should be replaced every second year or after reaching 33,000 miles, as per the Mercedes-Benz service plan.

Evidently, there are problems with the back brakes. Have they been arranged in order and does the issue with the pedal continue?

Locate the MOT Tester Manual online and carefully examine the section pertaining to brakes. If the brake performance meets the necessary standards, it is unlikely that a failure can be declared only based on the pedal feel, until the pedal reaches its maximum limit.

I own a less severe variant of the condition you have (non-MB), which I ascribe to the absence of cycling the ABS throughout the process of bleeding (since I have not yet obtained the suitable scanning instrument required). In a recent discussion on this platform, an individual proposed that this pedal action is quite typical. None of us seem to have any issues with the actual braking performance.

Question the possibility that the servo is the source of the issue. Have you activated the ABS unit throughout the bleeding process?

Are you referring to the concept of diminishing or declining? Was the master cylinder bled before to installation?

There is no indication among the present individuals that Mercedes-Benz (MB) directly engages in the production of oil. However, the underlying argument pertains to the procurement of oil from MB, which guarantees the utilisation of oil with specifications aligned to MB's intended use in their transmissions. Indeed, any automatic gearbox fluid that satisfies or surpasses the official MB certification for gearbox 236.14 will undeniably fulfil this requirement. Although your statement is accurate, it does not exclude the possibility of obtaining alternate and perhaps more cost-effective fluid from different sources. I am quite perplexed by the notion that some see the development of autogearboxes to occur in a vacuum, devoid of any consideration for the accompanying fluid that must be used in these systems. In the design process, it is hypothesised that there exists a high degree of coordination between the fluid maker and the gearbox manufacturer. The production of Mercedes gearboxes takes place in the Stuttgart-Untertuerkheim factory, located around 143 kilometres away from the headquarters of FUCHS PETROLUB AG in Mannheim. Given the conventional nature of a German corporation such as MB, one may infer the other details. Fortunately, there has been progress since the first stages when automatic gearbox fluid mostly consisted of 95% Sperm Whale oil, a substance that was primarily composed of ester compounds. The practise of slaughtering thousands of whales annually was halted by the implementation of the Endangered Species Act in 1973. This event subsequently led to the creation of synthetic fluids possessing comparable chemical and mechanical characteristics. This decision was both rational and compassionate, considering that whales were already considered a depleting resource. In my humble opinion, I would refrain from presuming to dictate the contents of an individual's automobile gearbox system. It is crucial to acknowledge that the ownership of a vehicle inherently gives the owner the autonomy to make decisions about its components. However, I do advocate for a well-informed decision-making process in this regard.

https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-68895-fuchs-titan-atf-4134-mercedes-mb-23614.aspx One potential consideration is to modify the overall fluid capacity in order to fully harness the enhanced performance advantages of 4134.

According to the Fuchs website, the model of car you own may be found. The capacity of the object in question is 8 litres. Utilise: Standard The intervals for maintenance checks are recommended at every 30,000 km. The recommended product for use during these checks is TITAN ATF 4134. FUCHS fluids are often used as the first fill by the manufacturing plants for several Mercedes Models. There is a distinct possibility that the MB fluid is manufactured by Fuchs, notwithstanding. The ATF 4134 is deemed suitable for the intended use.

Additionally, I utilise the 3m brand. The fast cut technique is quite effective.

Indeed, they are remarkable. Rob is highly regarded and has an amiable disposition.

Thank you for your prompt reply. This particular forum is the only source that has a reference to the aforementioned problem. I left the automobile exposed to the elements outside. It is hypothesised that the accumulation of leaves obstructed the windscreen drains, resulting in the infiltration of water behind the dashboard.

I have encountered this problem. Has there been any success in fixing the issue?

Jason at BWC has a technique that enables the restoration of a previously used Engine Control Unit (ECU), hence facilitating the reinstallation of data. While he has successfully executed this procedure for other individuals in the past, the feasibility of applying it to more recent ECUs remains uncertain and should be clarified by direct inquiry.

The contact information provided includes a UK telephone number, namely 0208 561 1818 and 07831 103030. The address is Unit 8&9, Alpha Industrial Estate, located on Clayton Road in Hayes, Middlesex, with a postal code of UB3 1BB. The optimal approach to performing this task is acquiring the appropriate files from BMW by using the vehicle identification number (VIN) and then transferring them to the new electronic control unit (ECU).

One option to consider is the application of a ceramic coating, or alternatively, the use of a substance with hydrophobic characteristics such as Sonax or Hydroview.

Greetings, I am in need of assistance as I am encountering difficulty in locating the plug diagram pertaining to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) audio amplifier. My objective is to include two more speakers under the seat, accompanied by an amplifier. Consequently, I want the plug diagram encompassing all the audio input and output wires. The vehicle in question is the BMW X6 E71 with the 30dX engine variant, which is equipped with the N57 FH61 engine. I kindly request your assistance.

If one is using the unit of measurement known as miles, the utilization of diesel fuel is recommended. If the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is a requirement, then the V6 engine would be suitable. The vertical roof structure may need some degree of care; nonetheless, it is anticipated to provide enhanced enjoyment throughout the summer season. Both options seem to be visually appealing. I owned a diesel-powered vehicle, namely a C-Class Coupe. The performance was satisfactory and sufficiently efficient. I did not engage in the process of remapping it, nevertheless, it is possible for it to be remapped. I previously had a 280 convertible vehicle, which I quite enjoyed. Fortunately, my vehicle was not affected by the problematic engine numbers associated with that particular model. However, due to factors such as the high road tax and my personal preference for a more powerful vehicle, I eventually transitioned to an E350 coupe. These two autos exhibit notable differences.

It is necessary to go through the menu options until the clock function is accessed. The time adjustment process involves using the upward and downward buttons located on the steering wheel, followed by pressing the reset button, which triggers the automated adjustment of the clock.
