Wishing you the best of success in your interactions with MB Customer Support. They provided assistance for the third occurrence of NOx failure when the automobile reached the age of 7, so do not lose faith. (My strategy of displaying kindness seemed to be effective.) Nevertheless, the process of obtaining a definitive verdict from them may be time-consuming, as they will be reaching out to the dealership who provided your automobile in order to get their viewpoint. Continuing to drive your automobile in the interim might potentially cause more damage that may be irreversible. It is desirable that you possess access to other means of transportation.

I would be profoundly distressed if my petrol engine emitted a sound like that of a diesel engine during the first ignition process. Despite having my current vehicle serviced exclusively by Mercedes for its entire 13-year lifespan, I would not trust them to do any diagnostic tasks. During the period when my automobile was still covered by its original 3-year guarantee, I encountered a rattling noise while starting the engine from a cold state. I brought it in for inspection, but I was informed that no abnormal sounds were detected. Even during the subsequent service, I continued to perceive the sound, prompting me to request another inspection. I entrusted the automobile to them overnight so that they could assess its performance in a chilly state the following morning. However, they affirmed that they did not perceive any sounds. I suspected that they had gotten so used to the frequent noise of diesel engines that they had unconsciously filtered it out of their perception. Upon the car's fourth servicing, the rattle had intensified in volume. Although not reaching the level of diesel beginning noise, it is nevertheless comparatively noisier. However, increasing the volume facilitated the process of pinpointing the exact site. Contrary to my previous belief, the source of the noise seemed to be the exhaust system rather than the engine. I lack the necessary tools to access the underside of the vehicle, but when laying on the ground beside it, I saw that the rattling noise seemed to originate from around one-third of the way down the exhaust system. Therefore, I requested that it be inspected while the service was being conducted. The Mercedes technician discovered a fracture in the exhaust system precisely in the location I had guessed. The conspicuous darkness along the fissure, caused by the evacuation of gases, was clearly visible from the elevated position of the luxurious automobile. I must acknowledge the dealership for providing me with the accurate information on the cost of replacing the system. However, they also said that the fracture may perhaps be repaired by welding. They abstained from doing welding. I brought the automobile to a nearby automotive workshop where they performed welding on the exhaust pipe at a far lower cost compared to replacing the whole system. The issue of rattling on starting has been resolved. 😀 It is regrettable that Mercedes, despite their extensive expertise and advanced tools, were unable to identify the issue sooner. Advanced computer systems integrated inside the vehicle are incapable of performing such diagnostics. Returning to the original poster's primary concern. The primary issue associated with the presence of metal fragments inside the oil filter is the lack of knowledge about their origin. I recommend prioritising the investigation of incoming data to see whether any new components are being received. Perform a comprehensive and meticulous oil flush, preferably by a knowledgeable individual, in conjunction with the replacement of the filter and oil. Upon reaching a distance of just a few hundred miles, it is advisable to remove the filter in order to meticulously inspect for any newly acquired metallic fragments. During this period, it is advisable to use the services of a Mercedes expert who has comprehensive knowledge and expertise in order to inspect the engine and accurately determine the origin of the problem, rather than only relying on computer displays. Indeed, prioritise this as the first phase without delay. The potential harm caused by this entity may increase with each mile it covers. If the issue is addressed promptly, there is a possibility of recovering it.

If the vendor is the proprietor, evaluate your opinion of him. Should the vendor be a dealer, it is advisable to be sceptical of any statements made by them. Similar to politicians, one may discern whether automobile salespeople are being untruthful by observing their verbal communication. Truly, trust your instinct. If it seems intuitively correct, it is likely so. However, if you have any lingering uncertainties, it is advisable to just disengage from the situation.

As Darrellll suggests, it is important to examine the situation and past events. I would steer clear of a low mileage vehicle that has been subjected to many stop-start operations and harsh treatment by a courier. That is detrimental to the engine. Conversely, driving long distances on the motorway does not do any damage. When it comes buying autos, it is always advisable to examine the service history. Timely completion of oil changes is crucial. Could you provide information on the MOT history? A well-maintained vehicle is expected to have fewer recommendations and failures recorded.

What is the price of replacing the automobile in comparison to the cost of repairing it?

Although I am pleased that the issue has been resolved, I would want to provide you with the following set of instructions: Initiate Gearbox Reset Adaptive Shifting - Programming Instructions for Do-It-Yourself - MB Medic I would appreciate your perspective on the D6 since I have just installed one myself, and I am curious whether your experience differs from mine.

Have you attempted to do a gearbox reset? I performed that action subsequent to the installation of my own device, since it exhibited excessive kickdown and excessively high revving. If the car's ECU has been fitted successfully and is functioning well, it typically takes about 60-65 miles for it to fully adjust to the box. Therefore, unless there are noticeable and significant issues, it may be worthwhile to continue using it. Perform a gearbox reset, however.

It is possible that there is a vacuum diaphragm leak either on the brake booster or its supply.

The Schlumpf Collection is definitely worthy of a visit.

Applying any of that substance on your automobile would immediately void any rust guarantee provided by MB. This car is a contemporary vehicle. However, it is important to be vigilant for subframe corrosion, which is a distinct issue. Ensure that the car is kept clean and avoid unnecessary interference. Given the expected duration of your ownership, the car should remain in good condition. Considering that the automobile runs on diesel and is probably not in compliance with Euro 6 standards, it is quite improbable that you will retain ownership of this vehicle for a period of 20 years.

I recommend that you consider exploring an other vendor. Based on feedback from previous owners, the experience varies - some dealers will seek a warranty repair from MB UK, while others may choose not to do so. Furthermore, what is the duration of your ownership of the car? Does it possess a complete service history from MB? Additionally, to the best of your knowledge, has it had any repainting?

Have you attempted to apply heat to the object in question?

The subframe of our R171 SLK vehicle was replaced without any cost incurred after the vehicle reached the age of 16 years. The most recent maintenance was conducted by an independent service provider, indicating that a comprehensive service history from an authorised dealership is not necessary.

Last week, the Sprinter vehicle was returned to the Mercedes dealership, although to a different branch located at a considerable distance. The purpose of this visit was to have the vehicle examined by the dealership's most experienced specialist in order to identify and diagnose the problem. The first step was the examination of the injectors, since they seemed to be a potential source of the observed vibration or rumbling. The components in question were determined to be in satisfactory condition, prompting the subsequent evaluation of the dual mass flywheel. The evaluators reached the conclusion that the flywheel requires replacement due to excessive play observed in it, a fact that I was already aware of. It is believed that this replacement is the probable cause of the issue, although it is important to note that this diagnosis is tentative and contingent upon the actual work confirming its accuracy. The projected cost for the project is outlined as follows: The task at hand involves the replacement of the flywheel and clutch, which is priced at 597.00 S. The provided information consists of part numbers, descriptions, quantities, and list values. The first item, part number A0002545208, corresponds to a clutch release bearing with a quantity of 250 and a list value of 250.00 S. The second item, part number A0049905912, refers to a screw with a quantity of 10.80 and a list value of 10.80 S. The third item, part number A0232500201, pertains to an 80 coupling with a quantity of 322 and a list value of 322.00 S. Lastly, part number A6510305105 is provided without any accompanying information. The subject of discussion is the dual-mass flywheel with the reference number 581.00 S, also known by its part number A9062640057. The locking cap with a value of 3.95 S, identified by the serial number N000000005805. The hexalobular bolt 8.10 S is a specific kind of fastener characterised by its hexalobular shape and size of 8.10 S. The job description entails the execution of Operation No. 3, which involves the removal of stripped and seized bolts with a value of 99.50 S, requiring additional time. The sub-total amount is $2,111.35, whereas the tax total is $422.27. The total amount is estimated to be 2,533.62. The required payment is substantial, and there is no assurance of a successful resolution to the issue. At now, I have incurred a financial loss over £2000 due to expenses related to the purchase of wheels, tyres, prop-shaft, and associated work costs. Additional perspectives on this matter would be very valued. Thank you.

A brief update: The vehicle was returned to the nearby garage, as it was advised to retrace its steps to the location where the hand was last seen prior to the emergence of the problem. The work conducted by the previous garage was inspected in order to ensure compliance with the MOT requirements, including examination of components such as brake shoes, pivots, and adjusters. All aspects were thoroughly examined and found to be satisfactory, thereby eliminating that potential risk. During a casual conversation today, the local garage briefly noted that there seems to be excessive play in the dual mass flywheel, suggesting that this may be the root cause of the issue. They want a sum of several hundred pounds in order to dismantle the gearbox for inspection. Additionally, I sent a formal letter of complaint to the Mercedes dealer, who has graciously extended an offer to do a complimentary in-depth investigation into the issue at hand until a resolution is reached. This gesture is in response to the unfortunate and unsatisfactory experience I received with their services. I am now anticipating the scheduling of an appointment for the vehicle to undergo inspection by one of their specialised technicians. I am optimistic that I will get conclusive answers in the near future. I will provide an update about the unfolding events.

Thank you for your response. I appreciate your willingness to conduct the pedal experiment and provide an update tomorrow. The application of grease was limited to old Universal Joints in order to address the first squeak during the MOT stage. However, this intervention did not prove effective in resolving the squeak, which seemed to originate from the rear wheels at that time, as opposed to the current issue of vibration and rumbling. Subsequently, the van underwent a prop-shaft replacement by a reputable prop shaft manufacturer, Euro Driveshafts & Hydraulics.

Thank you for providing your valuable ideas. Indeed, it seems that the resolution of this issue will need a systematic process of elimination. However, it is my fervent desire that this endeavour does not incur exorbitant costs, unless a knowledgeable individual can promptly detect the underlying defect by some methods. It is noteworthy that the discussion pertains to brake shoes and related components, since the issue at hand originated from the failure of a separate garage, namely a MOT testing station in Scotland, to pass the vehicle's inspection owing to the handbrake's inability to maintain its grip. It is important to highlight that the handbrake functioned adequately throughout regular road use prior to undergoing the MOT examination. The van exhibited a little squeak, as previously indicated, emanating from the underneath, particularly around the rear wheels. The mechanics attempted to resolve this issue by lubricating the Universal Joints, but unfortunately, this intervention did not alleviate the problem. Consequently, the van did not pass the inspection due to a malfunctioning hand brake. New hand brake shoes were installed, along with a hold down kit, two pivots, and adjusters, in order to ensure its compliance. The issue seemed to rapidly intensify, if not instantaneously, leading to the occurrence of a rumble or vibration. I have refrained from returning to the aforementioned garage due to many concerns that arose over the handling of the situation. Specifically, the van in question entered the MOT garage with a singular issue, although upon its departure, it exhibited an entirely other problem. I have sent this information to the neighbouring garage and the Mercedes dealer, implying that one would expect them to have conducted an examination on the Universal Joints/Prop shaft repairs. It may be advantageous to consider retracing one's steps and starting from that point. The document in question is a handbook, by the way.

The object in question consists of two distinct components, both of which have undergone a comprehensive replacement and subsequent calibration procedure performed by a qualified professional.

Greetings, individuals. It is hoped that someone may have had a similar situation, and if a solution can be identified, it may be beneficial for those who have similar symptoms in the future. I have made many attempts to address the issue, but have not achieved success so far. The 2015 LWB Sprinter van, namely the 3.5T 313 CDI, RWD B906 model with a 2143cc 95KW 129HP OM 651.940;OM 651.955 engine, initially had an audible squeaking noise while in motion at very low speeds. The universal joints were assessed as requiring maintenance by a local garage in Ayrshire, since the use of grease did not alleviate the issue. The present study was conducted, but, with the return of the van, a new issue emerged, characterised by a rumbling vibration when driving, which manifested only upon reaching speeds of around 50 miles per hour and higher. The steering wheel does not exhibit any shaking or vibrations. The auditory disturbance is quite noticeable when inside the cabin, effectively overpowering the sound emitted by the engine. The aforementioned local garage, which had previously identified the issue with the universal joints and then subcontracted the repair without my knowledge, returned the van to EURO Driveshafts & Hydraulics, the firm responsible for addressing the universal joint problem. The individuals expressed unwavering certainty that the defect was unrelated to the work they performed, and they took the extensive measure of replacing the complete prop shaft and ensuring its balance. Subsequently, the vehicle was returned; nonetheless, the underlying issue persisted. Both the local garage and EURO driveshafts were unable to determine the cause of the problem. Additionally, I incurred a financial loss of £1200, was without a van for a duration of two weeks, and made no progress in resolving the issue. I acquired possession of the van and made the decision to proceed with the task of bringing it to the purported specialists, namely the Mercedes dealership in closest proximity to my location, namely Western Commercial in Glasgow. The vehicle was in their possession for a duration of two hours, during which they identified two back wheels that were buckled and determined that the issue was caused by the need for two new tyres. I remunerated the work in the amount of £226, contented with the acquisition of certain responses. I requested a quotation and a specific deadline for the resolution of this matter, for which I am now awaiting a response. Subsequently, I proceeded to Kwik-Fit where I acquired a pair of high-quality tyres and wheels, incurring an expenditure of around £500. Regrettably, subsequent to the collecting process, it became evident while entering the motorway that the issue persisted. I returned the van to Western Commercial for further investigation, coinciding with the recall maintenance being performed on the vehicle. The technicians allocated an additional 1.5 hours to the task, resulting in a cumulative duration of 3.5 hours. Subsequently, they conveyed that no labour fee would be imposed as a goodwill gesture. However, it was revealed that the root cause of the fault had not been identified. In order to proceed with further diagnosis, the technicians indicated that labour charges would be applicable from that juncture onwards. It is noteworthy that the technicians acknowledged the inaccuracy of their initial diagnosis, which resulted in a wastage of time and an expenditure of nearly £800. I respectfully refused the offer and retrieved the van from them, since I would incur additional expenses commensurate with the duration of their diagnostic process, which would essentially entail compensating for their lack of proficiency. Although it is acknowledged that each vehicle is unique and diagnosing this particular defect may be challenging, it is important to place faith in these professionals who possess expertise in this field. I am now facing a dilemma and seeking guidance, therefore the initiation of this article. If anybody could provide assistance, I would really appreciate it and be willing to reciprocate in some kind. I possess a video recording in which the presence of a problem may be audibly detected, but with the potential for interference from ambient road noise. However, it seems that I am unable to upload it at this location. I would want to express my gratitude in advance.

I would want to provide a brief update. A new component was installed by an authorised dealership of the manufacturer, and the vehicle has been returned to its place of residence. The speed of completion was faster than first expected. The expenses associated with the repair will be fully paid. I am happy with the result. I would want to express my gratitude to everyone for providing me with valuable suggestions.

I express my gratitude for your assistance. I will provide an update about the current development. It is desirable that the duration of the period is not too long.

I express my gratitude for your assistance. I have inquired about the expenses and the relevant parties are now engaged in developing a resolution. Given that the automobile is only four years old, I am optimistic that it will be advantageous. It is expected that the sourcing of the components would be accomplished expeditiously.

I am now awaiting a callback on the procurement of parts, the availability of which is contingent upon their geographical origin. It has been indicated that the process of obtaining them may need a duration of around two weeks. During this period, it is possible for technicians to be on vacation, among other reasons. It is possible that the resolution process may take more than three weeks. Is this practise customary for non-routine situations?

I am inquiring about the normal duration required for the procurement of automotive components, especially a brake vacuum pump.
