Just to close this out I am happy to advise that running the Xentry adaptation process fully resolved this issue. But note that once you have done that you'll need first to manually clear the DTC and then all is well. Also note that one step in the adaptation process is actually to measure and...

Hi, I have just completed the 7G-DCT (724) fluid change on my 2017 W246 @ just under 40K miles. This is the first time it has been changed. I rigorously followed WIS instructions so was surprised when on fist start up I got a red message on the dash saying "Without changing gear, consult...

This is a plea for a sanity check by someone with more experience than me in successfully tracking down the cause of False Alarms in my 2011 SLK 200. I bought the car at the end of last year and have steadily been working through a number of issues but this one is driving me nuts. As purchased...

Just seen this so apologies for delay. It's inside the front left wheel arch. You need to remove the rear section of wheel arch liner and you will see it bottom left as you look at the car. Hope that helps.

I am trying to help a friend who owns a W177 A Class that has thrown this fault code. Looking with Xentry I can see this open circuit fault has been picked up twice in the last week or so but not previously in their ownership. The car was delivered new on 1/4/2019 and was purchased at about 8...

Sorry did not spot your question. No it's still not fixed as I haven't found the sensor yet! Even did a text based search of WIS for my VIN and it is totally silent on instructions to replace it. As far as I can see unless you drive through long tunnels or in heavy smog conditions it's not a...

Lessons Learned installing a LIMCET Apple Carplay / Android Auto Box with NTG4.0 The large number of YouTube videos are a fantastic help in terms of getting the car apart and how to complete the installation work. However, do not assume everything you see will apply to your car and...

Amazon came up with the goods and all now working as it should. I just need to put the car back together. When I get time I will put together a short "Lessons Learned" in case it helps someone else. So far at least I am really impressed and especially as it works wirelessly for Android which I...

Thanks for confirmation Richard. Amazon should be delivering the necessary later today.

Wow interesting discussion. Of course you can also change the coding accidentally in you fit a second hand module or even a new one and it isn't recoded to car spec. There's lots of examples on the net of people replacing an alarm siren and finding it now chirps on lock and unlock where it...

BTW I have just tested that the internal microphone is working OK. There is another 3.5m jack plug at the "box" end of the new harness labelled MIC which goes into the MIC socket on the box (obviously!). Well when I select the microphone in Android Auto my words get picked up and put into text...

Yes I think you are quite correct. I stupidly thought I had done that but given how cheap it turned out to be I now don't think it was genuine. I just wanted to get it sorted and the quickest option for me was to pop to main dealer. As for the gasket I was just following the WIS instructions...

Thanks for the reply. Yes I looked at these two sensors in EPC and for my VIN at least they are two different part numbers and 400 is listed as just a pressure sensor. Anyway today I can report that I have replaced the cheapo Amazon part (the one labelled 420 under the EGR) with one from my...

Thanks for the reply. I did a physical wiring inspection first and didn't see anything obvious in the way of damage or corrosion. I will definitely investigate that a bit more and also see what I get if I just unplug the sensor. Also I will poke around in xentry to see what I can find in terms...
