  1. Attempt to operate the system when the mass airflow (MAF) sensor is disconnected. P0101 Trouble Code - Mass Air Flow (MAF) Circuit Range/Performance Problem
  2. The aforementioned error would not result in the activation of limp mode. This phenomenon has distinct characteristics that set it apart from other phenomena. Do you have access to a scanner?
  3. The evidence suggests that the issue in question may be attributed to the glow plugs and relay system in the year 1955.
  4. Based on my estimation, a whole day would be required.
  5. Wow, it turned out wonderful, and I can't believe how fast time flies while I'm having fun.
  6. Honestly, that was the least I could do.Rally your fellow Rover enthusiasts and help us turn this into a bustling community! Basil
  7. Meanwhile, costs continue to rise. They may be onto something if they keep doing this.
  8. After taking my CLK to Mercedes for an inspection and servicing, I was informed that the front ball joints needed to be changed. I've had far worse. Before this, I had recently changed the front tires because they were worn almost completely across the tread. Mercedes did this by installing two new front tires and new ball joints. After six months, I drove to Tesco, left the front wheels locked, went shopping, and returned to find that although the outside edges of both tires still had plenty of tread, the inner edges of both tires had broken steel cables jutting out and were through to the canvas.
  9. Used to own a diesel vehicle. The great automobile would be repeated. If you're liking music of that kind, tune in carefully. I long for my old cavernous boots. I now drive a manual Golf, but if the price had been appropriate, I would have opted for the DSG instead. The system works well. I tried out the DSG in a friend's unusual Cupra (370 hp) tonight, and I have to say, I am impressed. I would consider getting another Octavia, perhaps even an estate model. The newest vRS models are a sleek and stylish ride. It's a shame that Skodas no longer retail for 12–13 grand.
  10. I recently used it on my Porsche, and although I was thrilled, the product has a terrible odor. Photos taken after spraying on and rinsing somewhat grimy wheel rims. Even though I became agitated thereafter, everything moved forward really quickly overall.
  11. Although I have not utilized Audio 20, I have heard that Comand, despite its shortcomings, is superior. Sorry, but I haven't utilized Apple CarPlay.
  12. Now that I've had my W213 (a 2016 E220d Premium with Widescreen and Driving Assistance) for about a month, I'd like to share my impressions on the NTG5.5 Comand system compared to the NTG4.5 system in my last vehicle, a W204 C250. There are many places where it appears like a significant regression, most notably the navigation panel. I would appreciate any feedback that might help me see what I am missing. I should preface this by saying that I am really pleased with the vehicle; it is much quieter and smoother than my previous C250, and the addition of Driving Assistance and remote access/tracking/geofencing has made driving a much more pleasurable experience. Command Problems One, it moves painfully slowly. The widescreen display makes the graphics pop, but there is a long delay between typing and seeing results. It's annoying in general, but when zooming a map, it completely renders the touchpad worthless. It's not the easiest thing to do a 'pinch' to zoom and then wait a second or two to see whether anything changed. The whole procedure of zooming twice or thrice is time-consuming and annoying. You may quickly zoom in or out significantly by just turning the rotary knob two or three times. Those who (I assume) will lose the steering wheel in the forthcoming W205 update have my deepest sympathies. It takes a long time to enter an address, and it seems to rely heavily on the internet. Because it took so long to appear on the screen, I at first believed that it did not support complete postcode entering. Perhaps the quality of the data connection to the servers has a role. Thirdly, there is no traveler's address book. It amazes me that this is absent. Only by manually inputting a location or selecting it from a list of recently visited locations will you be able to go to a new location. You can just add an address to the recent list; you can't give it a name (like "Joe's house") until you set the destination from a POI. You're only allowed twenty favorites total (including destinations and other features), but you may name and save a handful of them. I haven't been able to locate an alternative to NTG4.5's in-route traffic visualization. The mini-display indicating total time in traffic in minutes is great, but I can't figure out how to simply find out where the delays on my route are (NTG 4.5 gave a simple 'traffic on route' text display). The yellow and red traffic bars are easy to see on the screen, as are the little red and yellow automobiles (although I personally have trouble distinguishing the yellow bars against the green background). To see nearby traffic, you may switch to map pan mode and click, but this will just cause the display to jump about the things already shown. There is just a word or two of description for each of them. 5. It seems that all waypoints have been removed. You may now choose an intermediate destination, albeit this will only affect the estimated arrival time at that point. Waypoints were my preferred method of enforcing a predetermined path. establishing an intermediate destination seems to me to be the same as establishing the ultimate location and then setting the actual end destination. In version 4.5, it was much more convenient to specify a waypoint and see its impact on the predicted time of arrival. There are, of course, other routes that may be taken, but they don't always provide what's needed (for example, in an hour's time I'll know where to avoid traffic, but the route planning doesn't take that into account). 6. The map data is of low quality and/or interpretation. We're out in the country, so many of the recommended routes are ones I'd only take if I really had to. I've blocked out the paths it was taking using avoid zones, but it still won't take the obvious path. When faced with a choice between two routes, one of which is 800 yards shorter and considerably more navigable than the other, it will choose to go an additional 4 miles. In our location, the maps in NTG4.5 (with TomTom) generated far more logical route suggestions than NTG5.5 (with newest maps). I understand that rural roads present a difficulty for any mapping system. The optimum route is automatically chosen by Google Maps. NTG5.5 does not allow users to add their own custom POIs, therefore users cannot create a list of their preferred coffee shops, hotels, or surveillance camera sites. The screen does not provide full traffic data. If you're on the M5 heading to Bristol, you can see the M4 branching off to Reading, but there's no traffic data beyond Swindon. By increasing the map's size to include the M25, data on traffic conditions beyond Swindon becomes visible. Mode for seeing north in a two-dimensional display. It seems that traffic data beyond what a 'regular' width screen would display is not being updated on the super widescreen display. NTG4 has much better voice synthesis, although it's still not very good.5. There are noticeable pauses between words, resulting in confusing phrases like "Turn right towards......Bristol." As has been pointed out, this variant is less courteous than the original since it uses fewer "Pleases." 10 I had great expectations for the additional customization options in version 5.5. There is the potential for 'his and hers' or even 'town and county' settings since you may save all your choices in the configuration file. Once again, MB has fallen short of completely delivering this. However, other parts of the display, such having Navigation on the left, and consumption on the right, cannot be saved in conjunction with the dashboard layout changes (i.e. Speed and RPM separate, or merged - Classic/Progressive). Why the dashboard layout is a Comand feature instead than a dashboard menu item is beyond me. 11 It's not obvious how to relocate the map view. If the map was shown in full screen mode (4.5), scrolling the control wheel changed its location on the screen. On 5.5, the up and down arrow keys have no effect, while the left and right arrow keys bring up the menu; to pan the map, you must first click down, then move to the right and click again. I'm sure there are simpler methods to do this. 12. You can only make so many favorites. In principle, the favorites will solve problems with the Comand menus' excessive complexity. When I attempt to add anything to my favorites (by pressing and holding the favorites key for 5 seconds), it usually says that it cannot be added. I've experimented with things like custom interior lighting and audio. Perhaps I'm just not getting it right. It would be great to provide MB with comments like this, but I don't see how to do so, and I doubt they would pay much attention even if they did. They probably have designers and focus groups they trust. To provide some perspective, Comand is not without its positives. It's convenient to be able to show a map on the main display, which looks good (though I don't sure it has as much road information as 4.5). The ability to quickly access recently used locations without leaving the primary controls is a welcome feature. Web-based POI searches are more effective than ever before, despite their often excruciating slowness. My only complaint is that instead of apparently starting over, MB stripped away a lot of the features that made NTG4.5 so useful.
  13. I purchased my 1998 Mercedes-Benz C240 in the summer of 2022. Just before to my purchase, it had been completely serviced and had its MOT. I was wondering if anybody in the Stockport area has any recommendations for reliable MB or German independent service centers that they use often.
  14. Damn missed it. That was supposed to be a motorad, right? I was under the impression that one should steer clear of them; but, are they the same thing?
  15. I cannot locate a 45858 online from the customary sources. Exist any viable alternatives? Yesterday, my water pump imploded. Fortunately, I was within 250 yards of my destination! Ordered a replacement FlowKooler and a Hayden 2991.
  16. Any bicycle helmets sporting an ACU Gold decal? There is no need to overpay; it may be done for less than £100. However, my Shoei was reassuringly more pricey. Choose one that suits your head and put on earplugs. They NEVER mist up, so get one with a pin lock anti-mist visor!
