  1. Precise information, precise information. Indeed, there is an additional £300 included in the purchase to cover the Road Fund Licence (RFL). The price of £10,000 is rather reasonable considering that there are three owners, the car has been updated, and it has only been driven for half the usual km. It is difficult to find any faults with this offer. Engage in a conversation with your independent source, although I would bet that they would argue that the bug-fixed makeover causes less inconvenience compared to the previous model as a whole. By the way, exercise caution about the ride comfort while using large wheels.
  2. I appreciate the colour! I came close to purchasing an SL500 in that same hue. After completing the test drive, the vendor informed me that they had just sold the item to a buddy over the phone. There are several owners of 20-year-old convertibles, but, there are also rare instances of "garage queen" automobiles with little mileage and few previous owners. It is worthwhile to examine the disparities shown during the 2006 Facelift. Although Joe Public may not see the difference, MB has included several enhancements to rectify the problems that had arisen in the previous vehicles. I like the Audi 3.0 quattro, especially its early models. What a magnificent phenomenon. The ideal individual will enthusiastically pursue that opportunity. However, would the cost be a determining factor for you?
  3. Agreed. Proceed forward without stopping. There is a significant number of SL350 vehicles available that have been little used and well maintained. Please allocate sufficient time to locate a superior alternative. It is illogical to save a significant amount of money on the initial purchase if you end up spending a similar amount on other expenses like as discs, tyres, service, bodywork, and adjustments.
  4. Have you attempted to lubricate the cables and mechanism as a fundamental step?
  5. Indeed, the W163 model was never equipped with a 6-cylinder diesel engine. I apologise for my mistake. Was the gasoline quantity valve replaced with the high-pressure pump? What was the cause of the problems? Which codes, if any, are activated?
  6. The injectors are experiencing leakage. Is this vehicle model the W163 or W164? Alternative fuel system... What is the current pressure measurement on the crank?
  7. Although I have not personally used this particular procedure (since I employ an other testing approach), a pressure of 19psi does strike me as quite excessive. Perhaps, you could include a T-piece into the line and release a portion of the pressure? (My testing methodology does not rely on pressure, but it is still capable of detecting leaks. Significant pressure is not necessary in my opinion.
  8. Thus, the location of the object has been revealed. Now, please act in a manner that is morally upright and honorable.
  9. Will the vehicle maintain its position on an incline while in Drive, or will it go backward?
  10. The possibility of the O2 sensor being the cause is really improbable, in my view. If I had to speculate, the potential culprits may be the turbo actuator or the back pressure sensor, among others. Frankly, attempting to guess will result in a significant financial loss. It is essential that you connect the automobile to Star in order to identify any potential trouble codes. Certain malfunctions may not display an error number, nonetheless, it remains the first point of reference.
  11. A few years back, I saw a code for the o2 sensor on a recently obtained om642 211 vehicle, which appeared on the star diagnostic system. Given the vehicle's satisfactory performance, recent successful MOT, and efficient fuel consumption, I made the decision to refrain from making any modifications. Remarkably, after a span of seven years and 90,000 miles, the automobile remained in the same commendable condition. The automobile consistently passed the emissions tests every year, and its fuel economy was precisely in line with the expected standards for an om642 211 engine.
  12. Update: I am delighted to inform you that I now own two E250 C207 coupes with panoramic roofs, and I have just acquired a 2019 C238 E220d AMG with the latest design of panoramic roof, which I have been enjoying for the last 6 months. Here are some of my reflections for anybody contemplating a similar decision. It is noteworthy that although my first C207 (2010) received a significant amount of positive feedback, my 2015 model did not get any comments. However, my current C238, which has an anthracite grey hue (although it seems more like a golden grey to me), receives a considerable amount of nice comments, surpassing any previous vehicle I have had. The C238 has a little more interior space compared to the C207, particularly in terms of the rear seating area. Initially, I had a negative opinion towards the new panoramic roof design. However, I soon discovered that it was as, if not superior, to the previous form. I long for the presence of a spare wheel, which was absent in the C207 model. I am filled with apprehension at the thought of experiencing a puncture, particularly when I find myself in the more secluded regions that I periodically visit. The front doors of the C238 are excessively heavy, with the handle positioned far forward, so impeding the ease of door operation while departing in confined areas. The addition of a handle positioned towards the rear of the door would be advantageous. The C238 220d has superior fuel efficiency compared to the C207. The C238 has somewhat superior performance at lower speeds, but the C207 E250 (equipped with dual turbo) holds a little edge at higher speeds. Overall, the coupe is quite pleasant and spacious to drive, and I am really satisfied with the transition. The only drawback was that the current alteration incurred a much higher expense compared to earlier instances.
  13. For the last 8 years, I have been the proud owner of two C207 E250 coupes. At first, I had a 2010 E250 C207 model, which I then upgraded to the newer 2015 C207 model. I must express my utmost satisfaction with both. I have found the aforementioned items to be very dependable, comfortable, and adaptable for a coupe, since the rear seats can be folded down to accommodate various items such as golf gear. Furthermore, the performance is commendable and the fuel efficiency is particularly noteworthy, especially during long journeys. I am particularly fond of the panoramic roof and the ability to fold down the windows on pleasant days. Consequently, I am really satisfied with my entire experience. I am now contemplating my further course of action and would really appreciate any input from anyone who have previously had a C207 and then upgraded to the latest model, C238, in terms of how the new model fares in comparison.
  14. Woodruff keys are often referred to as shear pins. Is it possible to divide the chains in order to simplify the task?
  15. Indeed, the shaft is intentionally engineered to undergo shearing in certain circumstances, as an alternative to being splined.
  16. The key is engineered to undergo shearing before any catastrophic events occur. It seems that it is almost halfway through this process, therefore I recommend removing it entirely. Additionally, please refrain from forcefully inserting it in the future.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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. Please examine this: https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history Wishing you success!
  21. What is the price of replacing the automobile in comparison to the cost of repairing it?
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
