I'm glad to hear that you are satisfied with your new vehicle. The interior features, such as the turbine vents, ambient lighting, and digital dashboard, are particularly impressive. Mercedes produces aesthetically pleasing coupes. Have a pleasurable experience.

Thank you for your kind reply. The primary source of my complaint seemed to be emphasised in your personal encounter. I informed them about the issue within the warranty period, but they were unable of resolving it. I intended to prolong the warranty for a duration of three years, but, I encountered a limitation that restricts the extension to a maximum of 10 years. They knowingly sold me the vehicle without the possibility of extending the warranty, despite the car having very little mileage. I have reached out to Mercedes customer care to solicit their assistance. I deemed it worthwhile to attempt, prior to taking other actions.

I want guidance. In June 2022, I purchased a 2012 C180 1.8 petrol vehicle from an authorised dealer. Prior to reaching 47.5k kilometres, the vehicle had a gearbox service in addition to general maintenance. I felt confident and relieved knowing that I had a 12-month Mercedes guaranteed warranty. Unfortunately, due to the warranty's limitation of not being extendable beyond a 10-year period, I was unable to renew the warranty in June 2023. In October 2022, I returned it to them due to a rattling noise at startup, which promptly diminished. Initially, I suspected that the issue was with the exhaust system, but I was reassured that no abnormalities could be detected. It was just a case of a somewhat loud vehicle. I temporarily abandoned it since it only sometimes produced sound. During the months of February and March 2023, a complimentary examination was conducted, which identified a leakage in the 'O' ring seal of the turbo oil feeder line, necessitating its replacement. I was given a guarantee that this was only a recommendation and did not need quick action. The task might be completed during the next service. I was starting to doubt their diagnostic proficiency as the loudness continued to bother me. I brought the vehicle to a Mercedes expert to assess the condition of the timing chain and see whether it had sustained any damage or was affected in any kind. I was informed that it was not. After almost a year of ownership, it was time to schedule the service and MOT. Prior to the expiration of my warranty, I returned the item to the primary dealer for servicing and MOT inspection, while also addressing the 'O' ring repair, which was not included in the guarantee coverage. While settling the invoice at the dealership, I inquired if they had conducted a thorough examination of the vehicle during the repair and MOT to identify the source of the noise. They had only completed the tasks that were mandatory and compensated. The representative from the dealership offered the option of doing a more thorough check, on the condition that I bring the vehicle to them and leave it for a day, while also being prepared to cover the cost of a one-hour inspection. I expressed my willingness to contemplate the matter, but I believed that the service, repair, and MOT had just been completed, so I decided to keep a close watch on the automobile. In October 2023, I discovered that my automobile emitted a noise reminiscent of an antiquated diesel vehicle. I contacted Mercedes to avail myself of the possibility for a paid examination. The conclusion is that this engine, which has been completely maintained, is no longer functional after 61,000 miles. The presence of metal deposits in the oil filter has prompted the dealer to recommend replacing the engine. The expense of repairing the automobile exceeds its value, and Mercedes has declined to provide assistance. The request was made for my authorization to allocate 15 hours to investigate the cause. Do you have any opinions or ideas?

Upon conducting an online search, it seems that the components in question are indeed distinct and are often referred to as wiper arm spindle seals. However, I am unable to locate an e class vehicle, suggesting that I may need to get one from an authorised dealer. In order to install the component, it will be necessary to detach the wiper arm. If the wiper arm cannot be easily removed, a puller may be required to detach it from the spindle. I have managed to cope without certain resources or provisions in previous instances.

In my perspective, it seems like the scuttle and the wiper arm are distinct entities, or at the very least, the scuttle is a component of the wiper system. I have observed that on my vehicle, I am able to manipulate the scuttle vertically, while the seal remains affixed to the scuttle rather than the wiper arm. I am unable to discern the manner in which it connects to the scuttle, but I must admit.

Oh, you have achieved the task before me! The seals remain intact; yet, water is still able to permeate through. There is little liquid leakage, occurring sporadically.

Upon inspection, I was quite aback to see the presence of drips in my findings as well. Water infiltrates the wiper arm shaft as it traverses the plastic scuttle. A seal is present at that location; nonetheless, it seems to undergo desiccation. then, the water proceeds down the wiper arm assembly and then descends onto the SAM. The design might be improved. I have just applied a thin layer of silicon sealant on both sides of the scuttle, which is expected to provide assistance. Undoubtedly, the obstruction of the drain channels would exacerbate the issue at hand. However, it is advisable to inspect the seal of the wiper arm.

If you are new to the automobile customising scene, I have decided to provide the following information, despite the fact that Scarlett has already addressed the most of your inquiries. Coilovers are priced at a premium, sometimes exceeding £700 for a quality set, mostly due to the inclusion of shock absorbers. Additionally, these suspension systems provide the advantage of height adjustability, with certain models also including the ability to modify damping characteristics. D2, Tein, Meister R, and Buddyclub are widely recognised as the most popular options in their respective market segments. The presence of inexpensive coilovers available on eBay, which mostly consist of springs accompanied by a locking ring for spring compression, poses significant safety concerns. Consequently, it is advisable to refrain from using such products, as they do not meet the criteria for authentic coilovers. There is a selection of coilovers available at a relatively low price point of around £400. However, it remains unclear if these coilovers have been widely adopted or whether they possess satisfactory performance characteristics. The apex springs that you have shared are widely preferred because to their favourable cost-effectiveness, ability to enhance the vehicle's stance, and maintenance of satisfactory ride quality. For enhanced spring performance, it is advisable to choose TTE or Eibach brands. However, it should be noted that the TTE springs are priced at around £150, while the Eibach springs range from £180 to £200. The rear shocks with the designation 2B760 mentioned in the eBay link you provided are specifically designed for models inside the United States. Therefore, they will not have any impact on your vehicle. Lastly, as Scarlett mentioned, if your car has accumulated a higher mileage, such as 100,000 miles, it would be advisable to either replace the existing shocks with new stock ones or opt for coilovers. This is because worn shocks would not endure the additional strain of being lowered for an extended period of time, and furthermore, the installation of new springs would result in improved handling and a more noticeable enhancement in performance. The presence of aged and deteriorated shock absorbers might result in a perceptible decrease in ride quality characterised by increased instability and imprecision.

Thank you very much. I will examine the matter and make revisions accordingly when progress is made.

Apologies, gentlemen - It has come to my attention that an introduction of myself has not been provided, therefore leaving all of you unfamiliar with my identity. The individual's behavior exhibited a lack of politeness. Indeed, Greetings. My name is Niel and I now reside in North Devon. I've purchased a 1987 500 SEC from a club member (not this club - the other club) around three years ago. I have been systematically addressing the issue incrementally, but with quite modest achievements. The bodywork of the vehicle has undergone restoration, addressing rust issues in all of the SEC's commonly recognized vulnerable areas. As a result, the vehicle's outside appearance has been much improved. There exist a multitude of other concerns that endure. Typically, I myself do automotive maintenance and repairs for the majority of issues that arise with the vehicles in my family, accounting for around 99% of the tasks. Given that I was in the process of relocating and renovating an older property, I made the decision to entrust my Mercedes to professional mechanics. This choice was motivated by the recognition that certain aspects of the engine's design are relatively intricate, particularly when compared to my limited personal knowledge in this domain. Regrettably, the used strategy proved to be ineffective. After consulting with two independent professionals that specialize in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, I have spent significant expenses, although the condition of my automobile remains unaltered. The vehicle exhibits irregular engine idling, fluctuating cruise control behavior, presence of noxious gases inside the passenger compartment, and a malfunctioning air conditioning system. In terms of fairness towards the vehicle, it can be acknowledged that it continues to function as a dependable means of transportation for regular use, nevertheless the aforementioned issues and additional minor components. Additionally, fuse 15 has shown irregular and unpredictable instances of blowing since its return from the repair shop. Both the local auto-electrician and I have been unable to identify the source of the electrical short, despite extensive efforts. Consequently, I have made the decision to tolerate the issue temporarily. As a precautionary measure, I have chosen to store a substantial supply of white torpedo fuses in the coin tray, with the expectation that the problem may either resolve itself spontaneously or become consistently and predictably recurrent in the future. I have chosen to use a conventional approach, which involves extensively searching the internet for relevant information. In the event that this method proves unsuccessful, I will proceed by systematically replacing components, beginning with the most cost-effective options. Based on my previous experiences, in hindsight, had I used this approach from the beginning, I could have potentially substituted almost every relay, solenoid, and component (including the ignition control module) located inside the vehicle's engine compartment with authentic parts from the manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz. Consequently, this alternative course of action may have resulted in a more cost-effective outcome. The adage "live and learn" implies that gaining knowledge and experiences is an ongoing process. Additionally, the phrase "all good" suggests a positive outlook on life. Lastly, the statement "you can't take it with you" refers to the notion that material possessions are not carried into the hereafter. Enhancing the driving experience may be achieved by mitigating the presence of pollutants inside the vehicle cabin. Once this objective is accomplished, attention can be directed towards addressing the issue of a lumpy idle.

Unfortunately, the strategy has been rendered unfeasible. Regarding the matter at hand, I would want to inquire about your stance on the "ancient rusty micro-porous manifold" idea, which posits that both manifolds need to be replaced at a significant cost. Alternatively, are you suggesting that I disassemble the components and reseal the junction between the manifolds and the down pipes? Upon first observation, it is evident that access is very restricted. However, I want to do a thorough examination when the opportunity arises to have it positioned on the ramp.

Thank you for providing the information. I will review it accordingly. It is anticipated that Shirish is now available and it is possible that he would provide his insights into the resolution of his issue.

However, it is presumed that the problem of the emission of exhaust fumes in the 560 has been resolved eventually. I had a similar issue with the 500 I purchased from Ian Keers. I am curious to know the resolution that ultimately resolved the problem with your vehicle. I do not recall seeing that during the test drive of your vehicle, certainly. All necessary repairs and replacements have been completed on the bodywork of my vehicle, including the rear wheel arches, rear screen surround, fresh air vents located behind the rear bumper, rear light gaskets (purchased new from the manufacturer, MB), boot rubber, and wheel arch rubbers (all of which are authentic and sourced from MB). I perceive the emission of fumes when the windows are open, or while the vehicle is stationary and the heating blower is in operation. I am now facing a dearth of unresolved issues, and I am contemplating that the exhaust system may be the only remaining factor responsible. The subject in question exhibits clear signs of aging and structural deterioration, evident via its persistent leakage. However, it has just had a successful MOT inspection, indicating the absence of significant perforations or breaches in its overall integrity. Considering the financial implications associated with acquiring either a stainless or aftermarket mild system, I am hesitant to allocate funds towards this expenditure unless it is the only remaining factor that might potentially be attributing to the issue at hand. Additionally, there have been reports of porous manifolds potentially contributing to this issue, which are known to be much more costly. The situation is concerning. Do you own any ideas? Sincere compliments and profound gratitude are sent for your invaluable assistance.

I took this into account throughout the selection process of a dashcam, ultimately deciding on the BlackVue 900X 2CH because to its much reduced cost. Additionally, BlackVue products have garnered considerable acclaim within the industry. The camera in question has a resolution of 4k, resulting in the production of films of exceptional quality.

The cost of supplying and installing both front and rear Braybrooks is £840.00.

I conducted a thorough search of the forum and discovered several posts pertaining to the issue at hand. In my own experience, I saw a gradual decline in the performance of my device, especially with regards to its battery life, as it would significantly deplete overnight. Despite using the method of inspecting for leaks using soapy water, no such leaks were detected. Additionally, I attempted to rectify the situation by replacing the airbags, however the problem persisted without any noticeable improvement. The solenoid was replaced, but, there was no observed effect. Subsequently, the air lines were replaced, resulting in the cessation of nightly pressure drops and the system has been stable since then. I would propose considering a change in airlines as a cost-effective alternative.

The emission under consideration is nitrogen oxides (NOx), which has been extensively discussed before. It has been repeatedly emphasized that reducing NOx and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions concurrently is not feasible. Fundamentally, the update reinstates the vehicle's emissions output to a level that complies with the standards necessary for its sale. However, this adjustment would likely be undesirable to the consumer due to the resulting decrease in miles per gallon (mpg). There are two perspectives to consider. The vehicles were marketed with exaggerated fuel efficiency ratings in comparison to their legally attainable performance, necessitating the need for recalibration. Alternatively, it might be argued that the emissions levels were inaccurately portrayed by fraudulent manipulation of the testing and homologation procedures. Consequently, the vehicles in question should not have been made available for sale, and had the deceptive practices not taken place, they would not have been eligible for sale. The United Kingdom has shown a lenient approach towards producers, so shifting the burden of repercussions onto the consumers.

Do the alterations in fuel use represent actual changes or are they only perceived changes? Are the differences seen during assessments of gasoline use between top-ups properly determined when logged against miles during similar travels in comparable conditions? Alternatively, may they be regarded as cognitive records pertaining to the varying levels of fuel consumption shown by the onboard system on various occasions? I am inquiring about the aforementioned matter due to the observation of notable fluctuations in the reported fuel usage of my vehicle on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Moreover, this observation pertains to a conventional gasoline-powered vehicle that has not undergone any software modifications. The above remark also prompts me to question if the update modifies the algorithm used to provide miles per gallon (mpg) on the different automobile displays. I have often seen a notable disparity in the information conveyed by several markers.

Thank you for your order.

I very appreciate your assistance and the provision of the link to the puller tool. In the event that you were to make another purchase, I am curious as to whether you would go for the Silverline or Neilsen brand. One aspect that captivates me about online forums, such as the one at hand (although I often frequent motorcycle-related sites), is the willingness of individuals to dedicate their time and effort into assisting others. Thank you so much, my friend. I really appreciate your assistance.

Thank you for your kind gesture in sharing the photographs. I really appreciate the time you have taken to do so. I failed to notice the presence of the bar located on the left side of the engine compartment. Based on the included photographs, it seems that a heat shield is present on my 2011 E350 coupe. Is there any information available on the need of removing this component, or are there other methods for accessing the passenger linkages? Is the removal of the heat shield a labor-intensive task, necessitating the use of specialized tools?

I engaged in a conversation with an acquaintance who specializes in the construction of recreational vehicles. According to his suggestion, I attempted to displace the inoperative blade, as its movement would serve as an indication that the connecting mechanisms had been dislodged. The blade exhibits unrestricted movement. How can one access the links, individuals? Additionally, I would want to inquire if any of you have personal experience in addressing this issue or if you could provide me with a visual representation or detailed explanation of the steps involved in resolving it.

Greetings to all those present, Could someone provide assistance with this inquiry? Acquired a well-maintained E350 coupe at a cost that may be considered acceptable. Nevertheless, the functionality of the passenger windshield wiper is intermittent, exhibiting little effectiveness. Uncertain about the categorization of the problem at hand, whether it pertains to electrical or mechanical aspects, I am inclined to choose the former due to the temporary functionality seen, which suggests the mechanical components are likely functioning well in my rudimentary understanding. I am unable to discern a straightforward means of conveniently accessing the necessary information to visually inspect the fuse chart for the vehicle, specifically to ascertain if the passenger blade has an independent fuse or not. As an individual who has reached the stage of retirement, I am now facing financial constraints that prevent me from investing in a dealership to address any issues that may arise. Consequently, I would really appreciate any assistance or advice that can be provided in this matter.
