Air suspension on an Evoque, indeed!

Prior to lifting the vehicle, it is imperative to deactivate the air suspension. With the ignition activated, depress the "UNLOCK" button on the gear shifter and simultaneously press the "AIR SUSPENSION" button for five seconds until "Jacking Mode" is shown on the dashboard. Subsequently, employ your jack.

A jack compatible with an Evoque can be purchased inexpensively on eBay. Note that shipments may occasionally originate from China and could have delays in arrival. In the meanwhile, utilise a block of wood or paving slabs beneath the jack.

A conventional jack is inadequate for a 4x4 vehicle. Obtain a substantial, level, and stable surface beneath the jack, such as paving slabs, and you should be secure.

I could attempt that.In all honesty, I would like to locate a fitter who can provide and install the tyre; but, even that proves to be a challenge, as they assume it is an emergency and impose an expensive fee.

Can you place your jack on a suitable piece of lumber to elevate its beginning height?

After 60 years of driving and having owned at least 50 vehicles, I never anticipated the day would come when I would need to enquire about changing a wheel. I damaged one of the front tires on my 23/24 Evoque, and the company I contacted for the delivery and installation of the appropriate tire, a Pirelli Scorpion Zero 245/45 R21 104W extra load, failed to meet my expectations. I located a tyre at Guildford Tyres, but it requires me to transport my wheel to their location. I extracted my scissor jack, positioned it into the metal groove on the underside, and commenced turning it repeatedly. The body ascends, but the wheel remains securely on the ground. The distance between the top of the wheel and the body is increasing; I cannot observe the jack extending sufficiently high. Could someone provide guidance? I am unable to locate any information in the menu concerning suspension locking.It is not a Land Rover scissor jack; it is a new Halfords model that extends to 39 centimetres. Assistance would be valued.

My vehicle is a Sport model, equipped from the factory with AMG wheels, mats, bumpers, and sills; however, it is not an AMG. Only vehicles designated with two-digit identifiers, such as C63, E63, C43, and A45, should bear the AMG badge. No AMG badge should be present on three-digit models like E350, ML270, or C250; if they do, they are not factory-issued.

The line is thereafter presented in W205 configuration. Some are designated as AMG Sport on the V5C, while others are not labelled at all. The quintessential acid experience is encountering an individual who would wager their life that their vehicle is an AMG. Indeed, they exist; in this instance, it was a 350 CGI, albeit naturally aspirated and fairly rare. He was convinced it was supercharged due to its AMG designation. The individual who sold it to him deserves an accolade; he likely paid a premium for it as well. 😂

It is an AMG line, nothing remarkable, my friend.

Indeed, diagnostic codes are essential; potential issues may encompass turbo malfunctions, boost leaks, MAF sensor failures, DPF complications, or EGR system faults. Absent these codes, one is left to conjecture. C250 AMG? Laughing out loud. The sole C AMG produced at that period was the C63.

It is necessary to read the fault codes and inspect the boost pipes for any splits.

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum. I own a 2012 C250 AMG with 80,000 miles. My vehicle entered limp mode yesterday. While attempting to overtake on the freeway, I experienced a lack of power, and the engine management light illuminated. Do you have any suggestions on where to begin my investigation? Potential boost pipe issue

Excellent!

I got the opportunity to participate in a track experience day with the new C63; it is rapid, but it does not suit my preferences. The sale position you have is quite unusual; I question whether Mercedes has recognised this as a poor decision and may attempt to retract it.

Sounds amazing. I hope you remain here to provide all the details. 👍

Something akin to this, then...

I have selected the carbon edition in Alpine Grey. I aimed to avoid a very "boy racer" appearance, although the grey contrasting with the black mirrors is quite appealing.

Thank you for the kind reception. I will certainly share them if and when it occurs. 🤣

One might expect a prompt construction date, given that I am the sole purchaser. 🤣

I have paid a fully refundable deposit of £500 to the dealership; yet, you are correct in essence. I have ordered perhaps eight or nine new construction vehicles in my experience, but it has never been like this. Remarkably peculiar!

Indeed, you are 'That Guy.' Greetings!

Congratulations on your new vehicle. Kindly provide numerous photographs upon receipt. It would be intriguing to learn about these. 🙂👍 Additionally.
