When the brushes or pump start to show signs of wear the system picks up that it is taking too long to reach the correct pressure and will warn you of such. If it is just the number of cycles counter then it will allow you to reset it and carry on as normal, as the pump is working fine. The...

WARNING! If this does not make sense to you then I would recommend not attempting it as you can royally screw up your car. Try this: Make sure engine is running! In Developer mode you need to go to Entwickelingsdaten - > ansteueringen -> Gesamstliste aller Ansteuerungen to see how many times...

Now sold and on its way to the new owner. Thank you for a quick and easy transaction.

Bump and price adjustment. We just have no need for two cars anymore. £2,850.

Is it that difficult to ask the seller what the registration number is amongst any other questions you may have? I am more than happy to let a potential buyer know so that they can carry out an mot check.

Now that the wedding and prom night duties are over it is time to re-advertise my car. 52 plate, W211 Avantgarde spec in Tanzanite blue and beige interior. 130k miles. MOT until 5th Oct (no advisories). Just had the engine oil (MB 229.5) changed with Mann oil filter. It has: Comand with...

MB designed the system to have a self-cleaning filter by releasing the pressure back through the filter and blowing out any trapped dirt. But I think it doesn't work that way as my filter was an absolute mess and a new one is cheap and easy to replace. It could be that your control block is...

How about? Babies heads! Sh*t on a raft. A crab fat. :D

The headrest motor soldered connections have cracked. Fairly common issue and easily fixed if you can use a soldering iron. The cable running to the motor inside the seat pulls on the soldered connections and eventually they crack and cause intermittent failure. Here is a link to how to...

This tool is almost essential for all the MB V6/8 petrol engines.

I am a fan of the Junghans Mega Solar range. I had a titanium one that was perfect for me but gifted it to my son when I was moving to the USA as it didn't pick up the American time signal. Its replacement is the Junghans Force Mega Solar with black ceramic case and strap which has had many...

Maybe they misunderstood. I cannot think of any issues that could be caused by changing the ATF. To me, it sounds like them not wanting to take the extra time to flush out the old oil. Not all cars are fitted with a TC drain. Tony

The transmission and the torque converter are both fed by the same oil supply. The oil left inside the TC will be just as old as the oil drained from the sump. How would you feel if the garage told you they were only going to drain half of your engine oil and then top it back up when doing an...
