Indeed, I concur.

I own a pre-facelift E350 CDi saloon equipped with the more recent 265bhp engine. It is an exceptional fruit. The vehicle offers a sleek, polished, and noiseless experience, with enough power available when desired. The drive is also delightful. Highly recommended.

Irregular hub surface? Possibly as a result of rusting.

While I do not dispute their results, I find it difficult to think that newly manufactured discs from a respectable company would induce vibrations in any vehicle, unless there are other suspension problems at play. Based on my extensive experience of replacing discs on different vehicles with various brands, I have observed that shuddering only occurs with new discs if the shudder was already present before the disc replacement. To clarify, based on my own experience, installing new brake discs does not consistently resolve the issue of vibration when braking, but it never triggers it.

As already said. Authentic MB, Pagid, and Ate are other viable alternatives.

The presence of a dash after the satellite indicator indicates that the navigation device is unable to detect the antenna. If the connection was stable but there were no satellites within range (such as in an underground parking lot), the display should indicate a value of zero.

I visited two GLAs today, both of which were coloured Jupiter red. The first vehicle was not present at the dealership since it was undergoing a recall procedure at MB. I inquired the salesperson about the issue with the paint. He freely acknowledged that they had experienced a few instances of automobiles displaying the problem, but Mercedes-Benz noticed the issue and resolved it accordingly. There was another Jupiter red car available, but it did not have the specifications we desired. However, it was in good condition with no visible paint damage. He will contact me once they get the automobile. Proceeding to the second dealership, the salesperson expressed sincere regret as they did not own the vehicle either. It was undergoing a comprehensive respray at MB. This issue was present on a vehicle manufactured in 2019, indicating that the problem persisted at that time. However, it is important to note that not every automobile of the same colour is affected by this problem. The selection is already restricted as my wife has expressed a preference against black, grey, and silver options. Furthermore, if I also exclude red ones, the available choices become much more constrained.

I am interested in purchasing pre-owned vehicles from the years 2018 to 2020. Is it sufficiently recent to circumvent issues?

We are contemplating acquiring a GLA, and a significant number of the available options are of a red colour. Many difficulties have been reported about complications. Is there a comprehensive list of the hues that should be avoided?

Yes, I just encountered another issue on this platform that I saw was not functioning properly. I would have expected it to be a basic feature on the "ultimate performance/lightweight model." However, I was also corrected. It was a choice.

I really like the scent of creosote.

Hello gentlemen. After extensively perusing this thread, I believe I have stumbled onto a solution that closely aligns with my problem. I request your assistance. I own a W211 E280CDi with an OM642 engine. One day, I noticed that my automobile began to experience abrupt movements when I pressed the throttle pedal. Upon investigation, I determined that the turbo actuator may be the cause of this problem. I performed a resoldering operation on the two problematic contacts and then discovered information on a resistor modification for swirl flaps. Is it possible that this modification may be causing the jerking issue? I attempted to do the resistor modification, but unfortunately, it was not successful on the first attempt. The vehicle was able to drive, but only at 50% of its full power. It did not enter limp mode, since the kickdown function was still operational, but the engine exhibited sluggish behaviour. After removing the resistor and taking the automobile for a test drive, it exhibited maximum power. On my second attempt, I replaced the resistor and conducted a test drive. The vehicle maintained full power throughout the trip, and in my opinion, it exhibited improved performance and smoother operation. Additionally, the gear shifting was noticeably more seamless. However, after driving for one hour and having a pleasant experience, the engine check light suddenly turned on and the automobile entered a restricted mode (with faults 2514, 2526, 2530, and 2527 being shown). After removing the resistor and restoring all settings to their default values, no changes occurred. The engine check light on the dashboard remains on. I decided to inspect the fuses and discovered that fuse number 43 had blown, with a rating of 15A. After replacing it, the vehicle resumed functioning without any issues such as the limp mode. I cleared the problems and they did not reappear. Prior to doing the resistor modification, I did not experience any issues related to the swirl flaps. My only motivation was curiosity to observe any potential alterations in the engine's performance. My question is if the resistor might be the reason of the fuse labelled as no43 blowing. If the answer is yes, could you please explain the reason behind it? The resistor used had a resistance value of 4 kilohms and a power rating of 0.6 watts.

Last night, I had a recurring issue with my vehicle. When I switched the ignition, all the dashboard lights went on as expected. The car started and I was able to drive for about 5 minutes. However, after that, all the dashboard lights shut out, while the outside lights and indicators were still functioning properly. There were no warning signs on the dashboard, but I noticed that the clock was moving forward and backward on its own, and some of the caution lights would sometimes flicker. Returned and delegated the task of doing online research in preparation for fault testing later today. Today, everything seems to be functioning OK except for the need to reset the clock and the run flat indication. Currently, I do not use the automobile to the same extent as I previously did. Additionally, the weather conditions have been unfavourable. Furthermore, it was Halloween, which is an unusual occurrence. I speculate that the dampness may have been a contributing factor.

One of our members successfully installed a W204 facelift dashboard, which included COMAND and an instrument cluster, into a pre-facelift vehicle. Not suitable for those without courage or easily intimidated.... 😄

The probable reason is because the front SAM is unaware of the presence of a steering wheel of a different kind. However, it is not possible to directly alter the front SAM on MB automobiles, often known as 'coding'. Alternatively, there is a procedure known as SCN coding, in which the central computer record for your automobile, sometimes referred to as the 'Datacard', is being updated with the new configuration. After completing the task, the front SAM will get the updated configuration from the MB central computer. Unfortunately, it is not possible to modify and add a SCN-code to an option that was never offered for your vehicle. Based on your situation, I believe you will likely succeed in your endeavour. This is because you are attempting to include a feature from a newer version of the same model (W205) into an older version, which is often feasible. The procedure of SCN coding can only be performed with MB STAR and a live subscription, while being connected to both the automobile and the Internet. Any competent independent professional should be capable of doing this task for you. However, it is evident that there is also a potential for you to have caused harm, as others have said. In this scenario, relying just on SCN code would not rectify the issue. (It is perhaps feasible to breach the system and modify the car's configuration without an active connection to MB, however I lack any expertise in this matter. Therefore, if you choose to pursue this avenue, I recommend doing a Google search for more information.)

There is nothing that can be done to improve a design that is both hopeless and outdated. It decreases the amount of NOx, but does not completely eradicate it, while also causing various harmful effects. The combustion cycle of diesel fuel results in the production of incomplete combustion byproducts, such as soot, which consists of partially burned fuel molecules. The soot and recirculating crankcase oil vapour mix to form a very viscous substance known as super gunk. Additionally, there are these remarkable electronic control unit (ECU) emissions upgrades that will result in a greater opening of the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve, leading to an increased accumulation of pollutants.

Alternatively, you may use your cognitive abilities and manually include the "additives" to achieve significant cost savings.

The majority of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), diesel particulate filter (DPF) and decat police officers may be found in vehicle forums rather than engaging with real-life situations. I first believed that the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system was necessary for the proper regeneration of the diesel particulate filter (DPF), but I was promptly corrected by the firsthand experiences of a highly skilled tuner. A blank is only necessary for a defective partly open EGR valve.

That is alarming, but perhaps accurate!

Today, I entered the vehicle to go shopping and parked it. Upon exiting and starting the car, I saw a notification stating "Multimedia has been updated." It is peculiar that the process took so long to complete, but it has not been a matter of concern. Thank you.

I am unable to halt the update, since no one on the internet have the knowledge to do so, as far as I have come across. I will attempt to download the file onto a USB stick and determine whether it is successful. Thank you.

Received a notice indicating that a revised map was being sent to the vehicle. The process initially progressed well, but now it has been stuck at 98% for the last 6 days. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to successfully install the remaining 2%? The system indicates that it is being installed using the revolving symbol, but no action seems to be taking place. Thank you.

The designation W213/e220d indicates that the engine is an OM654. Is it possible that the misfire is associated with the different camshaft wear problems that these engines may experience?

The cost of the gearbox is around 300 quid.
