not saying they're dodgy because I genuinely don't know but I always wonder how these cars end up being so much cheaper than dealer prices, aren't repossessed vehicles risky? You don't know how they've been treated.

After removing one injector and adjusting the metal fuel line to suspend it over the engine, I made sure that no fuel was spewing out of the other injectors. The VP44 connector's ground and power are functional, as I verified. First, air got into the system when the injectors were disconnected. Second, VP44 could be malfunctioning. Third, the immobiliser could be preventing it. The VP44's unexpected failure coincides with the injector removal; therefore, tomorrow I will attempt to bleed the gasoline lines once more, since I do not comprehend why it would do so.

Greetings, everybody! I own a VP44 fuel pump-equipped E46 320d, which is a pre-facelift model. Now that I fixed the leaky washers at the base of my injectors, I am unable to start the engine. 😎 It will turn over, but it will not start. 1) I have primed the pump under the seat for 40 seconds many times and verified that it is functioning. 2) The clear gasoline tubes that go from the fuel filter to the VP44 pump do not appear to have any air bubbles. 3) At the injectors, I have loosened the nuts to bleed the high-pressure fuel lines. Clear fuel streams out to a height of about 5 cm, with the exception of the injector nearest the front of the car, which seems slightly weaker. 4) I sprayed starting fluid into the intake and got the engine to start, but the initial start was rough and white smoke billowed from the tailpipe. Although there was less smoke and less force during the other starts, the engine still makes a loud knocking noise when started with starting fluid. 5. BMW Scanner 1.4 displays a flawless result. So now I'm confused. I accidentally disconnected the red battery line in the engine compartment before removing the battery in the boot, so I'm wondering if the immobiliser is preventing the fuel pump from operating. Can the immobiliser be verified or circumvented in any way? After this, what am I to do? Many thanks

I may attempt to have a look at it this weekend. I appreciate you bringing to my attention the possibility of oil leaks around the valve covers; I will be sure to include that to my list of things to check. "Recently replaced front suspension on the both sides and an airmatic compressor" is what he says in his ad, so I'll be crossing my fingers that it's all in working order with the airmatic suspension.

I appreciate the speed with which everyone has replied. I'm relieved I trusted my intuition and declined CLS2 since now I'm going to forget all about it. I was once horrified by an X-Type that had 120k miles on the clock. It's ridiculous of me to assume that all vehicles with 100k or more miles have problems, but I can't help but worry about the wear and tear on the rest of the vehicle, not just the engine. Though I can see how a custom exhaust shop might alter the CLS3's exhaust tips to my liking, I still stand by my original opinion.

I did it! I sold my cherished CLS. The brain triumphed. On the other hand, I would really appreciate it if you Mercedes fans could provide your thoughts on my next CLS. Still have my heart set on a 5.5l W219 CLS; three on auto-trader have piqued my interest, but I'm not sure what to do: wait for the perfect one to come along or cope with the negatives? CLS1 was It has a complete MB service history, fewer miles than average, and seems to be in good shape. I seem to recall reading that this engine had certain issues that were resolved after 2008, but it lacks heated seats and was manufactured before then. Even though I relied on my heated seats frequently in my last vehicle, I'm starting to wonder if I really need them in this one. Again, I could get by with the interior color scheme, even if I'm not a huge lover of it. I can always update the sound system later on, but it doesn't have a suitable upgrade yet. And it's the least expensive one too. An extra advantage is that it is CLS2 LPG converted; the year and mileage are also satisfactory. The salesperson I dealt with when I went to look at this automobile was absolutely firm on the pricing. Since it has been more than 40,000 miles since the last service, I decided not to give it any further attention. I can't help but wonder what else the owner has ignored. CLS3 was For some reason, this one has all the features I could want: flappy paddles, an exhaust system that has already been installed (I'll swap out the exhaust system with whatever one I buy), a respectable sound system, two cup holders (which is a huge deal for me), heated and cooled seats, and a great instrument cluster. But the mileage worries me; for £8,000, I'm not sure I want a car that has practically driven 200,000 miles. I get that I'm upgrading from a brand new CLS to an older model, but the advice in my earlier discussion was helpful, and I want to set aside at least £200 each month to cover maintenance and repairs. Even though a CLS63 would be my dream automobile, I've been psychologically turned off by the thought of the astronomical repair expenses that come with a brand new vehicle costing close to £100,000; I guess I just have to be half practical. what path would you take?

McAfee has acquired my information and is incessantly urging me to renew my protection. To the best of my knowledge, I have never engaged in any transactions with McAfee. Whenever I block it, it reappears. Is there a method to permanently obstruct it?

Thank you for the suggestion: I purchased some 1.2W LED counterparts on eBay, and they provide sufficient illumination to observe the surroundings without being very intense.

They lack intelligence, however they are preferable to having nothing. Furthermore, I would presume that increasing brightness without utilising LEDs necessitates higher power, resulting in greater heat generation.
