No need to respond to my questions, above. I've found the answers here. https://forums.mbclub.co.uk/threads/ad-blue-issue.297923/

What does the remap do and is that something my indie would be able to do - if not, where do I go for it and how much does it cost? Are there any implications for insurance companies - does it affect premiums? Thanks for the opportunity of benefitting from your experience!

I have a 2017 E220d (S213) 4Matic which has done 65,000miles. I bought it in October 2020 since when, I have done 11K miles. The previous owner had it serviced by MB main dealers but I have only used my long-standing indie specialist. In February, the engine management warning light came on so...

On my S213, the service menu on the screen only shows the AdBlue range remaining, it does not show how much is in the tank. On the W212, I don't think there is any way to measure the level - not according to a note in the comments made on this YouTube video for the W212 The voice over is in...

Have you looked at this other thread for more information on these issues? https://forums.mbclub.co.uk/threads/nox-understanding-how-many-of-us.267954/

Just using Google, seals are available in the market for AMG GTS transmissions and there are loads of gearbox/transmission specialists in Kent so I would find one near you and seek independent advice, as suggested by others. 'Technicians' in dealers are not trained to fix problems in a cost...

Who diagnosed the problem of the internal radial seal needing replacement and that they are not available as an individual item requiring a replacement gearbox? That suggests specialist knowledge. Was it an MB dealer?

In the summer of 2020, I wanted to change my S211 E320 2004MY mainly because of problems I had been having for a number of years with the self-levelling (not Airmatic) suspension. I looked at the E300e but decided against the hybrid because of the issues that I had read about on a number of MB...

Why do I have to sit down on the bed to put my socks on - are my feet too far away from my hands or is my belly too big to bend enough? Why is it that I hop about like a mad dervish trying to put my feet through the correct leg in my pants and trousers, and have a 50/50 chance of falling over...

I had a similar problem on my daughter's Audi TT because the seal between the wheel rim and the tyre bead had failed. When a new tyre is fitted, the rim of the wheel should be wire brushed and smeared with tyre soap. Over time, this can dry out and the seal fail allowing air to escape. It maybe...

Maybe this is the reason? There is a software glitch in Assyst plus that requires an update using the Xentry (part of STAR) system on-line to MB. Although Xentry is widely available, or at least cloned copies are, it has to be the official MB version with an on-line connection to MB but because...

I replaced the tyres on my Jaguar XKR last year - Front 255/35 R20 97Y, Rear 285/30 R20 99Y. I changed from Dunlop Sport Maxx to Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. I had done 18,000 miles in 5 years The cheapest option I looked at were Kumho Ecsta PS91 at £620. The PS 4S cost £804 incl VAT but having...

In my S213 E220d, with just me and maybe one passenger in the car, I can be doing 70mph but still be in 8th gear, but then when the road is absolutely flat or just slightly downhill such that there is absolutely no load on the engine, it will change into 9th. Then as soon as the road condition...
