Intermittent indication of low coolant level
badgx replied to Screwdriver_1's topic in General Discussions
Although I often support individuals doing a thorough examination, I believe it will not be very beneficial in this case. The possible causes for the issue are either the detection of false negatives or the identification of a "implausible signal", both of which indicate a malfunctioning level sensor circuit. -
What is Stix? Are you referring to the car rental company Sixt? I recall perusing an interview with Formula 1 drivers from years ago, particularly around the period when Senna was prominent. The prevailing opinion among them was that after a race, their bodies had such a substantial amount of adrenaline that they refrained from operating vehicles on public roads for a minimum duration of 24 hours.

Device for measuring the concentration of oxygen
badgx replied to Paulinelinker's topic in General Discussions
If you possess even a moderate level of proficiency, you might consider purchasing a pre-owned icarsoft MB2 device to detect and identify error codes. Additionally, there are certain low-cost do-it-yourself tasks that may be performed, such as eliminating and thoroughly cleaning the aperture located underneath the back pressure sensor. This aperture has the potential to get obstructed with debris. Detach and cleanse the turbo actuator by spraying it, then apply a little amount of high temperature oil to the worm gear. Perform the "resistor fix" on the intake port motor by adding a 4.7k ohm resistor (Is the resistor priced at £1?) -

Indeed, they have little impact on the performance of the om642 engine. -

The information you are looking for may be located inside a discussion I participated in a few years ago. However, I recommend verifying the accuracy of the information specifically for your vehicle. -

Indeed, I believe so. However, in order to access it, you will need to elevate the vehicle and remove the underpanel. -

Located next to the gearbox sump, the exhaust pipe is positioned. -

It has been suggested that any modification to a motor remap has the potential to render the warranty null and void. This is a factor that should be carefully considered.

Warranty problem with a rusty subframe on a W203 coupé

Warranty problem with a rusty subframe on a W203 coupé
badgx replied to CheresX's topic in General Discussions
In cases when the rear subframe failure is attributed to the acknowledged problem of internal corrosion, Mercedes-Benz will provide a free-of-charge replacement, irrespective of the vehicle's service history. One challenge lies in the fact that some dealers may lack awareness or exhibit indifference, necessitating the exploration of many dealerships in order to get the intended outcome. Alternatively, it is advisable to consult online forums to identify a reputable dealer in close proximity to your location that is known to stock these particular FOC items. Subsequently, it is recommended to directly approach the identified dealer for the purchase. However, if Mercedes-Benz determines that the rust is merely rust and not connected to the documented rear subframe failure problem, they will probably maintain their position and assert that if the vehicle did not pass the annual anti-perforation body inspection at an authorised Mercedes-Benz workshop each year, then the 30-year anti-rust warranty is invalidated. Regrettably, this assertion is indeed logical, since MB would argue that had the vehicle undergone annual inspections by an authorised MB dealer, the occurrence of rust would have been detected at an earlier stage, enabling timely intervention to prevent its progression and further deterioration. -
In conjunction with the aforementioned valuable guidance, it is advisable to use coilies that provide adjustable damping, beyond just ride height adjustment. The potential impact is substantial, since softer tyres are better suited for navigating poorly maintained roads, harder tyres are more suitable for track use, and moderately firm tyres are suitable for travel with an element of enjoyment.

The air conditioning unit emits a foul odour.

One potential first step would be replacing the cabin filters, since this course of action has proven effective in resolving the issue for several individuals. 2021 BMW G20 M340i xDrive - Verde Ermes/Black - 07/2021.50 2019 BMW G05 X5 xDrive40i - Phytonic Blue/Cognac - 07/2022.33 -
I am not familiar with the subject matter being discussed. Authentic exhaust systems manufactured by Mercedes-Benz for these vehicles are rather expensive. Therefore, I would consider exploring the option of acquiring a custom-made stainless steel replica.

I kindly want guidance on a pair of CLKs.
badgx replied to CodeCrusader's topic in General Discussions
The automobile in question is aesthetically pleasing. Upon seeing the current market value of the item on the online platform eBay, I have come to the realization that if I were not already in possession of the item, I would eagerly accept the offer at hand. -

badgx replied to CodeCrusader's topic in General Discussions
I like the qualities of the soft top, albeit its price is very high. Last year, I made a purchase of a 350, which has been a source of great satisfaction for me. Although I am uncertain if the engine falls under the category of those impacted, it is worth noting that the mileage is still below 50,000 and the performance remains very strong. If the vehicle has an aesthetically pleasing appearance and delivers a satisfactory driving experience, it would be advisable to proceed with the purchase, as it offers a substantial value proposition relative to its cost. -

This morning, I started the process of doing the TB adaptation. Upon doing a scan of the vehicle, it was seen that the fuel pressure once again deviated from the specified range. I shall conduct an examination of this matter today. The fault code was cleared and the adaptation process was initiated. Prior to commencement, the numerical values stood at 13.3% and 87.1%. The steps were executed, resulting in values of 12.5% and 87.5%. After a 30-second interval, the values returned to 13.3% and 87.1%, indicating a potential equilibrium state. I conducted a test drive with the vehicle in order to assess the potential recurrence of the fuel pressure issue, although no such occurrence has been seen so far. I conducted a series of acceleration tests from a speed of 20 miles per hour in an attempt to induce a problem and record it in the system. I will examine the logs in order to identify any noteworthy observations.
