  1. Identifying the best engine for your needs Those vehicles must have 642 horsepower if you're comparing them. If we now compare the 204 to the 651, and the 211 to the 646, we can see that the 211 is an even better vehicle. An easy-out EGR, no DPF, and no AdBlu. Gets more than 50 mpg with ease. I can't make up my mind whether to sell the Viano (651 model) or the S211 (646 model). I think it would be reliable to run the 211 for a while. However, my heart is arguing because it's retro.
  2. You may search online for the impacted engine numbers concerning the balance shaft problems.
  3. OK. I was wondering if, considering their history with the site, you wouldn't have expected them to post
  4. They should have announced it in the forum, but they didn't. Naturally, unless I've somehow missed it...
  5. It appears they no longer trade online; I was just suggesting them to someone outside of this forum. Or is it that I'm a master locator? LOL
  6. For what it's worth, it appears to me to be predominantly a clutch problem. Engaging the clutch pedal yields a marginal impact, which strongly indicates a hydraulic issue (potentially sparing you the time and effort of gearbox removal). Have you inspected the slave cylinder, which is relatively accessible compared to the gearbox?
  7. It is likely that you currently possess historical charging data, which will assist you in determining the cost-effectiveness of a ‘intelligent’ EVSE. On Intelligent Octopus Go, I am charged 6.9p per kWh during off-peak hours and 30.46p per kWh during peak hours, in addition to a standing fee. The economical rate is a fixed period from 23:30 to 05:30, and extends from 23:30 until 11:00 the following day for electric vehicle charging. Electricity is available at a reduced rate for the entire residence during the designated period, in addition to any charging intervals assigned to me between 05:30 and 11:00. EV charging stations are assigned dynamically by Octopus, and their allocation may vary based on load and consumption. In my situation, my electric vehicle lacks integration with IOG, so I utilise an Ohme Home Pro EVSE, which does have that capability, and it is the Ohme that manages the charging sessions. If you can determine your ratio of low-cost to peak charging, you will be able to contrast it with a conventional, fixed-time, overnight tariff. Approximately 52% of my appliance electricity usage can be rescheduled to the overnight period (such as the dishwasher and washing machine) or involves electric vehicle charging during off-peak hours designated by Octopus. I rarely need to charge the electric vehicle unexpectedly during peak pricing hours, although I frequently connect it during the day to prepare for the following day and receive daytime slots assigned by Octopus. Utilising a 'intelligent' EVSE such as the Ohme, in conjunction with the IOG tariff, is beneficial for us, although we represent a particular scenario. It may not be effective for all individuals. However, keep in mind that despite lacking an immersion heater, tumble dryer, batteries, or underfloor electric heating, it has still proven to be economical for us. We are still evaluating home batteries, as the point of financial equilibrium would occur approximately between 5 to 6 years.
  8. Is this the authentic MB battery? If that is the case, then at the age of 13, it owes you nothing—simply purchase a new one regardless.
  9. Greetings, I'm hoping someone can provide me a hand. I own a 2022 C43. I was wondering if anyone knows whether the Android Auto connected feature can make the Google Maps screen bigger. Apple Play and regular Mercedes-Benz satnav modes significantly enlarge the screen. Much obliged
  10. Yeah, I got that figured out now. It turned out to be a nicked o ring on a leaky pipe after it warned me it may be a lift pump.
  11. Every morning before I turn on the ignition, I hear a gurgling sound coming from the tank. I really hope I don't have to deal with this problem, because it seems rather complex. I have been pursuing this for the past three months, and chatgpt has sent me on a diagnostic house tour.
  12. Duh, have you looked up this problem on Google? After that, what more did you do? Is each menu option still not clear to you? Could you please try pairing a different phone and seeing if it works? Is it possible to read codes with the Torque app and a generic OBD2 dongle? Any more issues with the audio? Lastly, to ensure the system is completely turned off, have you unplugged and then reconnected the 12v battery?
