The misunderstanding over the identification of color(s) in the for-sale ad is likely caused by the combinations of colour options available for the MY2012 5.2 quattro Coupe. Each paint colour is associated with a certain sideblade colour. (Furthermore, customers have the option to select each paint colour with additional sideblade colours or carbon fibre.)

As someone who has never had a preference for convertibles, I am unfamiliar with this topic. However, I would want to know whether there are any disadvantages to raising the convertible top while parking the vehicle. I believed that it just required the simple act of pressing a button and would be completed reasonably quickly. I would be the one responsible for parking the vehicle, since I would prioritise preventing any potential damage to the inside, among other considerations.

Since purchasing this vehicle, I have only driven around 2000 miles. For Bosch brake pads I have discovered this item on eBay, and it seems that someone has recently included "w211" in the title.

Greetings, everyone. The make and model of my automobile is a Mercedes E-Class W211 E280. Upon coming to a halt, a noticeable screeching noise can be heard. The technician said that it would be more beneficial to replace both the brake pads and discs. Is the Bosch brand suitable for my car? I would much appreciate any guidance or recommendations. Thank you.

Thank you for the tip. The vehicle does function, however it lacks indicators, making it quite challenging to operate. I have come across information suggesting that it may be beneficial to remove the instrument fuse for a duration of one hour. I will attempt this method and inspect all of the fuses.

The results of the heavy discharge test were OK, indicating that the battery is unlikely to be the cause of the issue.

Thank you for the ideas. I have recently examined the battery and found that it has a voltage of 12.4 volts. It is rather recent. The battery connections seemed to be in satisfactory condition, however, they were detached, thoroughly cleaned, and then reinstalled with dialectic grease. Extracted the soil and repeated the process. I also performed the same action for the engine compartment on the driver's side of the Earth vehicle. Examined the instrument fuse located within the dashboard, saw that it seemed to be in good condition, but replaced it anyhow. Although I had hoped that disconnecting the battery would result in a reset, the issue remains same. The vehicle's engine starts, but none of the indicators or gauges on the instrument panel are functioning. The hazards are functioning, but there are no external signs. The horn and radio are functioning well. I need to replace the indicator switch since it is not latching properly. I am concerned that there may be an underlying issue causing this problem. I have a new item that is prepared to be installed. I am now doing a rigorous discharge test on the battery as it is being charged. Do you have any more suggestions?

I have abstained from using my automobile for a few days. When I attempted to use my vehicle tonight, it started up but I saw that the instrument back light, warning lights, indicators, and main beam were not functioning. Work hazards include tail, stop, and reverse. The cigar lighter is capable of providing power to the dash cam without any issues. Has anybody encountered this?

After drilling, purify the area and apply paint. The waxoyl/bilt hamber/lanoguard should be reassembled once it has dried.

Annually, just before to storage. The number of miles on the oil is inconsequential; the task is accomplished. This also applies to my Porsche.

The source of the issue is undoubtedly originating from the engine bay. Although the rear brakes are applying a little amount of pressure.

Indeed, now that you have brought it up, it is very amusing 😂😂 Upon starting the vehicle, I saw that there was no noise. I then proceeded to put the car in gear and released the handbrake. Apply some throttle and the sound becomes audible. Engaging all gears in sequence. The sound remains constant in volume and pitch regardless of the engine's revolutions. However, as soon as I begin my journey, it occurs. When I come to a halt and transition to idle, the engine ceases to function. After covering a distance of several hundred metres, the sound ceases entirely. I will try to get a recording of it tomorrow morning. I appreciate all the replies received so far.

Greetings, everyone. I trust that everyone is in good health. My vehicle has been emitting an unusual noise upon ignition. The sound may be accurately described as a brass trumpet. The pitch remains constant and the issue only occurs when I accelerate to start moving and change gears. Occasionally in the past, there have been brief instances when it occurred, but this time it persisted for a significant distance of several hundred metres. The automobile has about 60,000 kilometres and a complete record of all maintenance and repairs. Thank you in advance.

Excellent! Thank you for your assistance.

I'm pleased that you resolved your issue. Thank you, it's a cost-effective solution, however my technician has informed me that a new relay would cost about £70. May I know the brand of the relay you purchased?

Did you install a new relay? Has it resolved the issue?

I own a 2000 E46 325i. While driving last year, my windscreen wipers unexpectedly stopped functioning. Luckily, it was just drizzling, so I was able to get it home. When I drove the vehicle again, the wipers functioned well and continued to do so for around 10 months. It occurred again and has evolved into a wholly arbitrary image. They may function properly without any issues, but then they start to malfunction. I parked the vehicle, checked the wipers a few times, they worked well. However, when I tried to use them again later, they didn't operate for weeks. Replaced the motor with a second-hand BMW component that has been tested. Despite the mechanic's statement that the car's features were not functioning, they were operational as I drove away. I have changed the wiper stalk. The relay was inspected and cleaned, but it only functioned briefly before failing while driving in the rain. It resumed working a few minutes later. The vehicle was sent to a mechanic where it has remained for a week. The wipers have been tested daily and are functioning properly each time. The washer spray consistently functions well. I have a tight budget and cannot afford to spend money replacing components without solving the problem. Can someone kindly assist me? I am feeling quite frustrated. Is it feasible to install an additional switch on the dashboard to ensure the wipers are functional in my car?

Consider removing the snap ring off the second-hand shaft and attempting to insert it fully into the hub. If it does not fit, it might indicate an incorrect hub or components.

They are not oriented in a certain direction. You are on the correct path - it is only a matter of how you exert effort to properly position the snap ring in its groove. Insert the shaft partially and then apply strong pressure. The momentum of the free play might cause it to settle. Or else. Use a rope or strap to fasten one side of the hub to the chassis and use a baton for leverage on the other side. Instead of a baton, a rope tourniquet. If you apply force using those approaches, it should fit in smoothly without needing to be hammered. If you can strike with a hammer without the force going through the CV joint, then just do so. Be persistent - sometimes they need a significant amount of force to be properly seated.

Yes, there is an interior groove designed for the snap ring.

Due to the recent hot weather, with temperatures in the late 20s, I need to use the air conditioning on a low setting. The fans are making a loud noise. Inside the automobile, everything is tranquil and silent, yet outside, it resembles a jet aircraft getting ready for takeoff.

The issue is within the canbus systems, which consist of several linked control units. One such device is the ambient light sensor located in the overhead light cluster. This sensor may impact the inside lighting, but it may not have any influence on the cluster illumination. Aside from the primary fuse box, there could also be a secondary or passenger fuse box. This auxiliary fuse box, located at the end of the dashboard or behind the passenger footwell kick plate, houses fuse 42, which provides power to the cluster. If the system in question is a canbus system, obtaining a failure code readout might potentially be beneficial.

The electrical components of the W202 had a thorough overhaul during the 97-98 facelift. As previously mentioned by TED, the instrument cluster lighting rheostat, also known as the dimmer, used to be integrated into the odometer knob in the former design. However, it has now been replaced with two tiny buttons located on the left-hand side of the cluster assembly. This change is documented on page 4, item 12 of the graphic. Regrettably, this implies that it is included into the primary cluster PCB and may provide difficulties in replacing it in case of malfunction.
