  1. The code is P0141. There is no smell of eggs.
  2. I will establish a connection and inform you accordingly.
  3. Thank you one again. The sensors are accurate. I will need to change the second sensor once more. It has been suggested that the issue may be due to a defective catalytic converter. What is your opinion on this matter?
  4. After replacing both lambda sensors on my 2008 Rio, I have noticed that the check light sometimes illuminates and then extinguishes a few days later. After connecting my OBD metre, it indicates that the post catalytic converter sensor is malfunctioning. However, when I had it inspected at Kia, they reported no problems. Does anybody have any suggestions?
  5. The Mazda CX-60 recently underwent the elk-test conducted by the renowned Swedish magazine "Vi Bilägare," which gained prominence for its involvement in the Mercedes A-class incident. Regrettably, the Mazda CX-60 did not pass the test. The left tyre had a near detachment, causing the rim to make contact with the asphalt surface. Currently, they are awaiting the arrival of a new set of tyres with criminal characteristics in order to conduct a further examination. Mazda has so far refrained from providing any response. The current ambiguity is in the presence or absence of the updated suspensions in the automobile.
  6. Based on my understanding, there is a similarity between the W203 and the W209 in this particular aspect. Under some circumstances, it is possible to only replace the armrest lid, namely the component that functions as a hinge and allows for left and right movement. The wiring for the telephone is located inside the lower lid, namely the section that swings in the front and back, in conjunction with the armrest lid. Removing the armrest lid and installing the replacement might be a cumbersome task. Mastering the art of using the various levers and pins in a precise manner requires a distinct skillset. One potential solution may include employing a second individual or using adhesive tape often referred to as duct tape. I am not cognizant of a straightforward approach; rather, it necessitates steadfastness and a copious use of profanity.
  7. The installation process was satisfactory, however there is still an occurrence of odoriferous emissions when the windows are open, suggesting that the previous system may not have been the root cause of the issue. The individual is now considering the inclusion of a 'Y' pipe in their analysis.
  8. The Imasaf system was ordered in accordance with the aforementioned link, and the components were promptly delivered from Germany within a commendable timeframe of three days. The individuals at Bmerc hold the belief that their products exhibit superior quality compared to the typical offers found at Walker and Kwikfit. However, the ultimate verification of this claim will be determined via the process of fitting. The possibility of using aluminiumised steel, despite its weight of 27kg for both goods, remains a significant consideration. It is anticipated that the item will be returned expeditiously, maybe by the beginning of the following week.
  9. The Profusion customs exhaust system, including the downpipes and rear silencers, was priced at around £1500 plus VAT. Consequently, I have proceeded to make an order for the mid and rear Imasaf silencers, as shown in the eBay link provided. I will provide more updates subsequent to the completion of the fitting process.
  10. The cost of authentic mid and rear silencers for a Mercedes-Benz vehicle is around £1,000, presuming they are made of mild steel. I have sent an email to Profusion Customs at Heathrow Airport about a stainless steel alternative. I have always harbored a disfavor towards the auditory qualities of stainless steel, as it has consistently shown a tendency to produce a timbre that is reminiscent of tin in my personal encounters.

  12. Individuals I am considering the acquisition of a new exhaust system for my 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC, and I have come across the Imasaf product line being offered on the online marketplace platform eBay. The advertisement is well written; but, has anybody possess practical knowledge with this particular brand? What was the level of fit and quality observed? Approximately 50% of an authentic Mercedes-Benz exhaust system. I am unable to locate an Eberspacher exhaust system for my vehicle via internet channels, despite it being my preferred option. Greetings
  13. I appreciate your prompt reply. There are height sensors, namely one on each side of the vehicle. Although they demonstrate functionality by effectively alerting me when the suspension has lowered and recommending that I refrain from driving until it has reset, I have refrained from making any adjustments to them. Regards
  14. In order to provide a current status on this discussion topic... The valve block and all associated lines, including the one connecting the compressor to the valve block, were replaced. The observed impact on the automobile's behavior was negligible - at times, the rear suspension would retain its position for extended periods, such as overnight or even an entire weekend, but on other occasions, it would significantly sag when the car was used. Upon doing an extensive search, I successfully identified Aerosus as a firm capable of providing the desired two rear airsprings at a cost of £244.80, inclusive of delivery charges. Consequently, I proceeded to place an order for a pair of such airsprings. The individuals in question came a few days prior, and yesterday I dedicated a portion of the morning to installing the aforementioned individuals. I am pleased to report that the vehicle remained up when I attempted to use it this morning, indicating a successful outcome. However, I then decided to do a thorough examination of the first MB units that were removed. To accomplish this, I removed the exterior dust shields and securely positioned them in a vice. then, I proceeded to inflate them using compressed air from my compressor. Subsequently, I conducted an investigation to identify any potential leaks. With the exception of a little leak observed at the lower steel clamping band of one unit, it seemed that no other issues were present. I am currently uncertain about the nature of the first issue. Nevertheless, it is worth noting the perceived lack of authenticity in the valves used by Aerosus, since they do not seem to be genuine Voss products. During my last endeavor involving the replacement of the lines and valve block, I acquired a pair of authentic Voss valves for utilization with my current units. The process of connecting these valves proved to be very uncomplicated - it only necessitated ensuring that the end was cut in a perpendicular manner and afterwards inserting it into place. The installation of the Aerosus units presented some difficulties, since my attempts to insert the pipe were unsuccessful despite my efforts to gently chamfer the pipe's end. Ultimately, I proceeded to detach the valve and then used the newly acquired Voss counterparts that were salvaged from the previous units. I would want to caution anybody who may be considering pursuing a similar path.
  15. I have just made a purchase of new lines and connectors. The lines were obtained from Hosemaster and possess a maximum pressure rating of 250 pounds per square inch (psi). As for the connections, they are being sourced from Germany and are authentic Voss products. Interestingly, subsequent to doing a leak testing procedure and disassembling and reassembling the rear solenoid valve from its mounting bracket in order to thoroughly clean the surrounding area and inspect for any leaks (while also documenting the component number), the vehicle has shown improved behavior by no longer experiencing nocturnal collapses. Therefore, it is prudent to refrain from making any alterations until the aforementioned system exhibits more malfunctions. However, it seems that the underlying problem may be attributed to either the airlines or, maybe, the valve mechanism. Regards
  16. There are two individuals that advocate for prioritizing the alteration of airlines first. My subsequent inquiry pertains to the optimal means of obtaining the pertinent information. I am intrigued by the concept of purchasing the aircraft in bulk and thereafter adjusting its length as needed. However, I am uncertain if it would be necessary to get new brass fittings at each end as well. Furthermore, it is important to consider how the lines are integrated into each connection. In an online video I saw, the process of replacing a worn-out line included the removal of the old line by unscrewing it. Subsequently, a new brass fitting was inserted into the airspring or valve unit, followed by the insertion of a plastic pipe into the brass fitting using a push-fit mechanism. It is worth noting that once the plastic pipe is put into the brass fitting, it cannot be withdrawn without causing damage to the fitting. Does this assertion hold true in most situations? Any assistance would be very appreciated, or alternatively, a hyperlink to a suitable video resource.
  17. Thank you for your response. I have recently dedicated a few hours to inspecting the underside of the vehicle and doing a thorough examination using soapy water. However, no indications of any leaking were seen. The airline components have a robust construction, with strong polythene lines that are securely connected to brass nozzles at both ends inside my car. The hydraulic system consists of a single feed with a greater diameter connecting the pump to the valve, followed by two smaller feeds branching out from the valve to each individual airspring. When you mention the solenoid alteration, are you referring to the apparatus that I am referring to as the valve, which has one inlet and two outlets? In the W212 model, the component is positioned anteriorly to the rear bumper and posteriorly to the gasoline tank. The most convenient starting point for substitution would likely be the location where I have been unable to identify any leakage inside the conduits. Regards
  18. I own a W212 model, namely the 2013 E Class Estate variant, which is of the AMG designation. The vehicle has accumulated around 80,000 kilometers. During the preceding quarter, the rear self-leveling air suspension of the car has shown occasional occurrences of collapsing overnight. Occasionally, I encounter a situation where my vehicle requires a little period of time to pressurize before I am able to begin driving. Conversely, on certain occasions, I am able to enter the vehicle and initiate driving without encountering any issues. In the majority of instances whereby the suspension has been deflated, a warning message is shown on the visual interface. However, there are infrequent occurrences where no warning message is presented, despite the observable deflation of the suspension. I brought the automobile to a nearby independent automotive service provider, who conducted a thorough inspection but failed to identify any instances of leakage. They recommended replacing the air springs as a customary solution, quoting a fee of £1,250 for the service. Based on my proficiency in using spanners and after seeing a few instructional videos, I am confident in my ability to do the task at hand. However, I am hesitant to invest around £600 in acquiring the necessary Pattern Parts manufactured by Arnott, as I need a certain level of assurance regarding the anticipated outcome. In my perspective, in the event of an airspring leak, it is likely that just one side would experience deflation. Conversely, if both sides were affected by a leak, the issue would manifest consistently upon parking, rather than intermittently. Coincidentally, I often park my vehicle on a flat surface, namely on my driveway. I am inquiring about the existence of a shared location inside the system, whereby a valve, perhaps obstructed by a little amount of debris, may be impeding its correct closure. Can this assumption be considered rational? Are there any other thoughts that individuals may have? Currently, the system is through a brief period of reactivation, which poses no immediate concerns. However, it is conceivable that this process places more strain on the compressor, perhaps leading to increased wear and, in the event of failure, incurring substantial financial costs.
  19. I own a dash cam of exceptional quality, boasting a 4k resolution capability. Additionally, it offers the convenience of interchangeable Polaroid lenses, thus mitigating the issue of windshield glare. An additional feature that may be included is the inclusion of an application that facilitates the downloading and deletion of recorded material. The device is equipped with GPS functionality, allowing for the display of geographical coordinates and speed information inside the recorded film. In my opinion, the use of a hyphen is really effective.
  20. The 2019 V220 saw a decrease in fuel efficiency, namely from 38 mpg to 34 mpg on extended trips, subsequent to a software upgrade. In the local vicinity, the observed levels are comparatively reduced. In order for the cruise control to engage the 9th gear, the speed must be set at a minimum of 70.
  21. It is worth noting that the W203 and W204 models are known to exhibit a notable occurrence of suspension creaking, particularly when the suspension is in a cold state. The absence of a discernible cause and the absence of a recognized remedy are evident in this case. With that being said, it is advisable to do a comprehensive examination of the suspension system.
  22. The action does not provide any discernible outcome. I will proceed with the scanning process as per your recommendation and observe the outcomes. I will provide an update on the matter. Thank you
