  1. Is the list not printed on the lids of the fuse boxes?
  2. Greetings, everyone. Yesterday, I visited the dealership for an airbag recall. They do a visual inspection of the vehicle, assessing components such as tires and brakes. The front driver's side spring was discovered to be fractured. I also perceive it when I fracture it; there is an audible click that can be heard inside the cabin as well. I am considering replacing both front springs and the dust cover for the shock absorber. Should I replace the shock absorber in this instance? Must I replace both axles? I have observed that many vehicles exhibit a higher front and lower rear stance after the replacement of front shock absorbers. What is the most effective and rational approach to do this? 2012 BMW F10 530i (N53 engine)
  3. Did you purchase the vehicle from a Mercedes dealership? If that is the case, they should resolve this for you free of charge. The process was conducted by email, eliminating the need for me to go. Alternatively, I would promptly visit your closest dealership with identification and selling data, since the prior owner may presently use the app to monitor, find, and unlock your vehicle. The Mercedes Me support crew is really competent; but, I anticipate that you will be required to provide physical documentation (e.g., at a dealership) to register the vehicle in your name.
  4. morning everyone, I hope you'll have a nice ride
  5. Indeed, I have perused some information on walnut blasting this evening and have encountered it throughout my travels. I will locate a vacuum source for the throttle body and introduce it accordingly. I have previously worked on many automobiles with my wife (now my ex-wife) while using the accelerator. I suppose I must seek an other somebody to do it. Is it the reason you have children?
  6. I would want to do a thorough cleaning, replace the spark plugs, change the oil and filter, conduct regular maintenance, and provide a detailed cleaning.
  7. Hello everyone, I have not been active here for a while. I am gradually making modifications to the W203. Following the replacement of the headlight lenses and a thorough wash, I will provide a picture or video if possible. I have a dilemma and would appreciate any advice. I own Nulon upper engine cleaner, which is sprayed into the manifold via a vacuum line to dislodge carbon deposits from the upper engine, allowing them to depart via the exhaust. I want to ascertain the most optimal and straightforward hoover line to utilise. I have typically located an intake immediately before the throttle body in prior vehicles. I do not intend to spray via the supercharger; nonetheless, would this have any implications or create any problems? I have used this branded cleaner on many vehicles and it has produced satisfactory results. Subsequently, do an oil change, as it is due and recommended. Thank you for any contributions.
  8. Enjoying local beer while on vacation in Vietnam! I have successfully responded to my previous post. Apologies!
  9. Completed the procedure on a C300d. They just required software modifications, not an EGR replacement. Did not impact anything. I said that they did not do any emissions software upgrade.
  10. MB reports a malfunctioning valve, resulting in coolant inducing a chemical reaction inside a plastic manifold. Potential fire hazard; hundreds of thousands of vehicles subject to recall. They assert that it is not an emissions issue, but rather a fire hazard recall. Google corroborates this with the European Commission Alert Systems and Car Recalls EU. I would never let them to access my emissions software, haha!
  11. Everything is occurring today. Recall 2090008 - replace the EGR cooler and update the engine electrical software. Has anybody else had this procedure? What was the duration? Did you see any variation? It is ostensibly a fire danger. I interrogated Mercedes on the Emissions Software, since I want to avoid any association with it. A colleague's Volkswagen was subsequently damaged, resulting in diminished performance and fuel efficiency. I am now awaiting a call to finalise the booking.
  12. My goodness! The second-hand market was formerly straightforward to traverse. I am currently seated in a dealership, and from the discussions I have eavesdropped on in the sales area, the sales environment appears to be quite chaotic. I observed two individuals entering; one was terminating an exorbitant PCP agreement (his monthly payment was comparable to my mortgage for a modest vehicle) and replacing it with a more economical car (presumably at the conclusion of the contract), while the other couple appeared to have received an incorrect order, which they vociferously contested. Aside from rental or business vehicles, is purchasing a new car currently worthwhile, considering the elevated fees and monthly payments due to high interest rates?
  13. Consumer law in Turkey markedly differs from that in the UK. I trust you will achieve a satisfactory resolution.
  14. Despite being somewhat disheartening, you possess the benefit of the guarantee on a new vehicle. Continue to return it until you are satisfied that the defect has been rectified. The most worst outcome is that Mercedes approves a new gearbox if the dealer is unable to rectify the issue. Maintain a log of the duration Mercedes retains the vehicle for repairs.
  15. Complete your homework using the scanner. I had the Foxwell 510 Elite, but I cannot recall if it included brake bleeding functionality. Your inquiry has prompted me to reflect on whether I still possess it, since I have an abundance of them. Rasa will arrive shortly; I believe he has the 510 or a similar model.
  16. I believe they have made no adjustments whatsoever. They have only adjusted the steering to alter the statistics little. The front values were OK; however, the rear camber and toe are unbalanced and have not been corrected. Assess the ride height of both rear wheels to see whether your vehicle is drooping on one side.
  17. In my opinion, the Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3 exemplify the optimal balance of price and quality. In terms of performance, it is comparable to Michelin and Pirelli.
  18. superior engines, esteemed similarly to the M57
  19. WD-40 is inappropriate. It will eliminate any existing grease and also rinse away rapidly. Therefore, the suggestion is to use a spray grease (I employed a Lithium grease).
