Touring or sedan?

Thank you for your response; I will examine them to determine if any cracks are present.

Typically, it involves a minor fracture in the antenna lines, a grounding problem, or corrosion on the connector or wires within the C pillar. Is there any section of the window that remains unfrosted? There is a slim possibility of a fine break resulting in arcing across the fracture.

I have begun experiencing significant interference on my FM stations when activating my rear window warmer. I have replaced the antenna amplifier module, but it has not resolved the issue. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you for the information. I will clean the pumps and mesh, change the filter on the opposite side, and test the fuel pressure under full load. The fuel pressure at the rail appears satisfactory at '83 PSI', decreasing to '76 PSI' after thirty minutes with the pumps deactivated. I intend to replace the pumps for reassurance.

The pumps contain a fine mesh filter within the housing, which becomes obstructed with time, causing the pump to exert excessive effort and ultimately fail. It appears that the relay might have prevented this issue; however, I recommend removing the pump housings at your earliest convenience to replace the mesh filter. On my previous E55, the vehicle would achieve optimal performance during regular driving; but, on a dynamometer under stress, the fuel pumps exhibited weakness and the air-fuel ratio fluctuated significantly. Upon the replacement of the pumps, the car was transformed; it felt like an entirely different engine. I possess a thread located here at some point.

Upon tracing the wiring from the pumps, I ultimately discovered the solitary fuel pump relay that was incinerated. Connected a spare 40A relay for testing, and the vehicle started immediately with optimal fuel pressure. The positive pump wires are RED/BLUE, not RED/YELLOW as previously indicated - please refer to the attached picture. The RED/YELLOW positive wires originate from the 90A Green Fuse located at position 90 in the rear pre-fuse box beneath the trim on the right side of the spare wheel well. It was concealed deep within the right-hand baggage compartment of the HK Subwoofer. Remove the 5x10mm screws, pivot the subwoofer aside, and you will observe its attachment to the wheel arch. Certain later E55 versions are equipped with dual relays. Now upgraded to a high-quality single 60A, as it was operating at elevated temperatures when replaced with a 40A. Operates at a significantly lower temperature!

Could someone assist, please? Where is my E55 Fuel Pump Relay for the 2003 S211 E55 AMG Estate? The dual fuel pumps have failed; the vehicle cranks but does not start. My multimeter indicates that there is no power to the pumps when the ignition is activated and the engine is turning. The vehicle commenced operation immediately and functions when direct current is supplied to the wiring of one pump located beneath the offside rear seat - RED/YELLOW wire and BROWN wire! I have located what appears to be the fuse labelled '90' - refer to the attached image. The top is broken off, yet it remains fully intact and operational, exhibiting no indications of damage or overheating. However, the location of the relay is unclear. I assume that both the relay and the connector may be damaged. The fuse and relay diagram provided with the vehicle, located behind the driver's dashboard side panel, indicates that fuse F04 (20A) in the rear N/S SAM and fuse bank—behind the left-hand boot side panel—is associated with Relay 'A', the first from the bottom. However, I have discovered that this information is inaccurate; fuse F04 and the small Relay 'A' are designated for the intercooler pump in E55 AMG models. Some owners in the US indicate that the fuse and relay are located behind the right-hand side panel of the trunk; however, this appears to apply solely to sedan vehicles, not station waggons. The internet and AI are fraught with inaccuracies. I appreciate your assistance in advance.

I have no prior experience with this work, but I recall reading that entry is only possible through the wheel well on models from 2012 onwards.

They merely detached a sensor and a bracket securing the cable harness, without removing the manifold. Appears to be uncomplicated? Utilising the appropriate socket length and extension, etc. It may be possible to accomplish this without removing anything except for the hose and the valve. However, the visibility is suboptimal, and you will likely need to do a laborious process initially, subsequently determining the appropriate socket, ratchet, and extension combination to remove it without disassembling more components, hence facilitating a more efficient method for future attempts.

To access the 2.5 L engine in this vehicle, it is necessary to remove the intake manifold. Is this task challenging for this vehicle? Utilise a 19 mm deep socket to remove it. It may be feasible to detach it using unconventional tools, but I am uncertain. The 2.4 L engine of this vehicle, likely the 2AZ-FE or a comparable model, is readily accessible. I believe you possess the 2.5 L. Is the removal of the intake manifold on the 2.5 L challenging?

Does your 2010 model have the 2.5 L or the 2.4 L four-cylinder engine?

Remove

That is simple, provided it is not jammed shut or failing to open fully. If it is jammed shut, obstructed, or not fully opening, it would be futile.

I recently discovered that someone else reported the identical issue almost one year ago. I do not remember who initiated the discussion or the precise subject line, but the final contributor proposed incorporating an inline PCV while retaining the existing one. I seek further information regarding this matter. Advantages and disadvantages

In many states, it is illegal to sell used cars with specific defects. Upon identifying the issue, I would recommend contacting your Attorney General.

It appears that I was meant to introduce myself in the initial post. It is hoped that the moderator can relocate it to a more visible position.

Purchased this for my son under a month ago. I already regret the purchase. Acquired from a guy who purchases and sells secondhand automobiles. Acquired on October 1st. Immediately replaced the oil due to its little contamination and excess volume.Within two weeks, we added 1.5 quarts. Recognising the issue, he is currently operating my vehicle while I determine the appropriate course of action. I purchased a new OEM PCV valve and hose after observing YouTube videos demonstrating the replacement process without removing the intake manifold. It appears that I must remove the manifold from the vehicle, as it is situated behind it, unlike the newer and previous versions. What a significant inconvenience! Do you have any suggestions? I have included two images to illustrate my circumstances. The subsequent models featuring the 2.5L engine are significantly more accessible. The entrance is indicated by the arrow on the right.

The 12-volt battery is a disposable component; when it ultimately fails, it may be easily replaced.

Indeed, the vehicle is equipped with a heated steering wheel. We are thoroughly enjoying the vehicle. We hope to avoid the undesirable battery problems.

A late first-generation Excel is a reasonable option; however, does it still include the heated steering wheel, given that the Excel specification lost this feature during the production phase-out period?

Greetings, everyone. Thank you for the responses. Indeed, it is a late-generation one. I conducted a test drive of a new Generation 2, 24-plate Icon. We were impressed; nonetheless, it was at the upper limit of our budget. I enquired with the salesperson whether it was equipped with both front and back sensors, to which he affirmed positively. We stated that we would contemplate it. After reviewing the specifications, we contacted the salesperson to enquire once more about the sensors. He was resolute that the car was equipped with the sensors. We presumed they had been included as an addition. We proceeded to register. Upon our arrival, we requested him to reverse the vehicle to demonstrate the use of the sensors. Speculate over the matter. Absence of auditory signals or alerts. We refrained from speaking to him. We abandoned him in the vehicle. Departed from the dealership
