  1. Can anybody identify this item that sits directly in front of the SBC pump? It appears to be an electric motor based on the noise it makes, and it has a hose coming out of its base. It stands directly before the SBC pump. I assume it's an electric motor based on the noise it makes; it has a hose that comes out of the bottom.
  2. The new filter is hideous! Our Sportage had an identical original, but I got a cheap Bosch 1987435160 on eBay to replace it because the part numbers and manufacturers are same.
  3. Saluti e benvenuti. My car actually made a difference because it had clear interiors. So, the other extremity of the country! My mom's family is from Milan....
  4. Does it have any utility in a TTY case? The material of the bolt might change as a result.
  5. The purchase of the vehicle has been finalised, and I intend to pick it up this coming weekend. I contacted Merc, and they informed me that the gearbox service is valid for 77,500 miles and does not have a certain duration. It seems like everything else is being taken care of. There's no need to be concerned because it comes with a year's guarantee. I recently drove a vehicle with significantly fewer mileage and the transmission felt the same.
  6. It has 69,000 miles and won't require a gearbox service for another 8,000 according to Mercedes, but it doesn't feel quick enough to have been remapped. Is jerky the correct term? While the comfort mode seamlessly transitioned between gears, the sport+ mode made shifting gears with a floored throttle much more noticeable than in comfort, where the shifts were hardly perceptible. Yes, even in sport+ mode, the other two cars were very comparable. So long as it comes with a year of guarantee, I might as well have it.
  7. I have driven multiple AMG Line E220ds and am considering purchasing one. However, I would need some clarification regarding the following: in sports+ mode, the gearbox feels little jerky; is this intentional or am I missing something? I experienced a similar issue with the other models, but in comfort mode, everything is perfect. The breaks were also quite taxing for everyone. What else should I be wary of? Overall, it's a spotless vehicle. I will be moving forward with the purchase of a 69/1 Dec registration AMG Line Night Edition with 69,000 miles in the next few days. Thank you ahead of time.
  8. As we were getting close to home, we noticed that the SatNav was trying to redirect us to a charger at 30%. After returning home, I changed the divert threshold from 30% to 10%x, cancelling Navigating in the process.
  9. I previously examined that. They perform excellently in Middle Eastern countries, but are unsuitable for UK weather conditions.

  11. I trust that all are in good health. I seek counsel with the following matters, please. My 2013 W204 C220d Estate retains its original battery (see to the image below), which has exhibited difficulties throughout the recent cold weather. Following my study, I acquired a replacement: a Bosch S5A11. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-S5A11-battery-technology-vehicles/dp/B00PUDPLOC Nonetheless, I have encountered information suggesting that the new battery must be programmed to the vehicle, while other sources assert that this is unnecessary. Can anyone confirm the accurate procedure for battery replacement? Additionally, if coding is unnecessary, are there any precautions I should consider when replacing the battery? I intend to clean the battery compartment before installing the new battery, but I will refrain from doing so if a longer disconnection could lead to complications. Thank you in advance for any responses.
  12. As previously stated by guyskin, it is a cold check that occurs when the vehicle is initially activated, during which it inspects for malfunctioning bulbs. LEDs consume less power, leading the system to erroneously conclude that the bulb has malfunctioned. I deactivated the cold check feature on one of my vehicles using my diagnostic scanner, and there is a setting in the iDrive for the F20 model. Indeed, that is how I organised things in that vehicle.
  13. I do not either, to be honest. It is conceivable that it may be possible.
  14. Is it feasible to submerge the tank?
  15. If you have recently invested that much in it and they are paying you a negligible sum, I would retain the vehicle; I am certain you can get the additional funds required.
  16. I just seen the classroom scene from "The Wanderers." 😉
  17. I also own front and rear dash cams from NextBase. I use the Dongar adapter and have no difficulties in powering the cameras using it.
  18. The B+ cable problem seems to correspond with all the symptoms. I will investigate further, thank you.
  19. I am doing an investigation in search of a respite. Thank you for the information.
  20. Thank you for your response. What does "should be 2, 1" signify? 3) Jump point under the hood I checked the voltage at the jump terminal, which was capped in red. No voltage present. The vehicle is now off, so I assume there will be no voltage present. I am not a BMW technician, but I am attempting to resolve this issue. I measured the voltage on the wire under the trim on the driver's side, and it registered at 12.5 volts. I want to connect 12 volts from an additional battery to the fuse box and need guidance on the appropriate point for power input into the fuse box. This method allows me to start the vehicle and access the passenger door, since it is somewhat difficult to reach the fusebox and glovebox from the driver's side. The door is not opening from the inside due to a power failure. One would expect them to foresee such an occurrence. 7) Based on the photos of the fuse box, could you help indicate the source of electricity for the fuse box? It is a grid; thus, providing a reference point would be beneficial.I need the input power for the fuse box to see if it registers 12.5 volts. Thank you once again for your reply.
