Last couple of days I noticed a noise coming from engine bay which almost sounded like the ancillary belt. I took a look when I got home today and noticed some fluid around the bottom of the bay below the radiator and some on the ancillary belt. At first I thought it was engine oil but once I...

This is what my dash says after 18093 miles. Vast majority of which is motorway driving: But tracking fills myself shows around 35.4 Mpg: So it seems to be out by about 13% difference.

Anyone know if it is possible with STAR to adjust how the dash cluster calculates MPG. I have manually recorded each milage at fill-up for 2 years of my ownership and the real MPG is 35.4MPG but the dash says something silly like 40+. It seems to be about 20% out all the time.

So turns out it is leaking from the Cat to DPF clamp! I had struggled for over 3 hours last weekend to get everything to align with the cat, turbo and DPF and get the clamp on after replacing the cat gasket that goes between the DPF: I thought I have finally got the clamp on given the lack...

They are an odd thread though so wouldn't know where to start

Great ideas! They are plastic so I will try the methods you mentioned before sourcing 2nd hand set. Thanks for the tips.

Annoyingly it has had its air filter screws over tightened at some point in it's life and they dont bite as they should. Wonder if there is a way to fix with oversized screws / some kind of plastic weld or if it might need replacing.

I replaced my filters at the weekend with genuine MB ones along with some exhaust gaskets (cat to DPF - NIGHTMARE!, and EGR from exhaust y piece gasket. I noticed today that under hard acceleration I can hear a rather loud air noise. I assume it is the new filters making it more pronounced but...

How did this turn out in the end? Was it the oil cooler seals or read main?

So finally got around to testing with Xentry which I have now purchased. EGR Like iCarsoft, Xentry is also showing my EGR as not responding when attempting to actuate manually despite not kicking up any errors. It only reads as 4% and actuating it manually within Xentry doesn't change the...

So I had another tinker today and checked the EGR mechanics under the cover: Looks clean as a whistle and moves freely. Added a little lube and tested again with iCarsoft and attempted to actuate the valve...Nothing. Does anyone know if this should open / close during idle? I am just looking...

Ah are you saying the gram reading is infact a percentage and mislabelled ?

I fortunately both V2 and V3 don’t show DPF % for my model and only show gram. It is currently at 29gram and showing over 7000 miles since last regen. I have not been impressed with icarsoft at all and hoped v3 would fix previous issues but still no % shown, no DPF regen and not even showing...

I updated it to latest version before trying and the only service DPF options are as shown. It simply isn't available for my year and model :(

Well that is a concern. Do professional tunes normally do this?
