  1. Refer to the section under "Merchandise Specialists across the United Kingdom."
  2. There are a few MB Indi establishments in close proximity to your location, and I would recommend visiting one of them. If you do a search on the forum, you will see them mentioned.
  3. 4 Doors SD4. Appreciated the appearance of an authentic Range Rover. In a concise manner.
  4. I have seen that my GLE experiences the same issue. I am certain that the cause of this problem is the fob in my pocket exerting pressure on coins or any other objects present in my pocket. It seems that my partner never has this issue when she uses the vehicle. I am curious whether it is possible to reprogram the key fobs using a star.
  5. In my opinion, a crankshaft breather should be there. It seems like someone has blocked it off, perhaps thinking it would help with oil consumption or oil deposit problems on the intake valves. The Prince engine has an issue with oil consumption due to oil passing the oil control rings. Blocking the breather will not solve this issue. However, installing a 'catch can' may assist reduce oil deposits on the intake valves. Replacing the oil control rings will ultimately resolve the oil consumption problem common in all Prince engines.
  6. After realising that the plug is located on the ECU side of the engine, I would inspect the camshaft sensors, oil pressure switch, thermostat, thermostat valve (beneath the thermostat housing), and MAF (positioned on the side of the intake manifold).
  7. Which side of the car? Camchain or thermostat housing side? You may trace the connection by following the colour pair on a wiring schematic using the available colours.
  8. For complete information. The phone is the latest model of the Google Pixel Fold.
  9. I believe I have resolved it. Accessing the settings menu on the H7 device removed all Bluetooth options and then re-enabled them. Everything failed. System reset performed, no improvement seen. The phone detects the car, and the car detects the phone, yet the phone is not authorised. I opened the Android Apps on my phone, expecting that my Command feature wouldn't work. However, after connecting the phone to the vehicle with a USB cable, the handsfree option started working. Phone is now successfully linked and functioning.
  10. I have followed your instructions but the devices are still not connecting. I will continue to persevere.
  11. That was my first action. There were a total of 5 cell phones on it.
  12. I attempted to connect my new Google Android phone with the W212 Command system. The phone and the automobile have mutual visibility, but the car will not provide authorization to the phone. I suspect that the phone may be either too new or using an incompatible Bluetooth version. After checking Google and doing all system checks, the connection issue persists. Seeking guidance
  13. Purchase Chemical Guys Nonsense All-Purpose Cleaner (APC) or Inner Clean, both very effective for cleaning car interiors, along with cotton buds and a few microfiber cloths. Unless you excessively apply spray over switches, it will be difficult for you to do any damage. Inner Clean is equipped with UV protection, making it suitable for use on dashboards and similar surfaces. On Youtube, you can often see individuals vigorously cleaning and brushing the innards of objects with APC (All-Purpose Cleaner). Although I myself would not go to such lengths, this practice appears to be rather prevalent, so I believe you will not do any damage, OP. 🙂
  14. I am not aware of that. I had an issue with my own. I attempted to open the bonnet, but due to a malfunctioning latch, the cable was unable to properly tighten. WD40 is used as a solution to the problem.The issue was resolved within 30 seconds and has remained problem-free for many months. 👍🏻
  15. One straightforward and simple solution to consider is applying WD40 to the two bonnet catches.
  16. Registering your phone to the vehicle and connecting it to Kia Connect should resolve the issue.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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?
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
