Hello, I recently serviced my 2012 320d F30 and I am enquiring whether it is permissible to add 300ml of Liqui Moly Ceratec, despite having already added 5.2 litres of oil. Thank you.

While there are no known problems with this model, the vehicle as a whole may have the typical generic Mercedes-Benz problems: Back subframe with corrosion Seat belt buckle, clock spring, and SRS problems ESL failure (as mentioned earlier) Rear wheel speed sensors that have failed Problems with Start/Stop due to a weak battery (Some may chime in with questions rooted in their personal experiences.)

Could you see how some specifics could be useful? Thought for the day!

Problems with the ESL and corroded brake pipes

now, get your popcorn...

There isn't much, but it's a decent, dependable (albeit somewhat noisy) engine 🤐

Please wait a moment while I recharge my crystal ball; I will return immediately.

Mercedes-Benz 220 CDI from 2012 Seeking advice on what might be a problem

Yes, I did purchase the jack and tools (I had a compatible wheel beforehand), and yes, I have used them. There was a holdup in getting the puncture fixed because it happened on Christmas Eve.

My 212 snapped in half the second I tried to use my jack on it. I wouldn't recommend it because of the price of the wrong jack.

A jack and wheel brace are standard equipment in neither my A Class nor the other person's. The air pump and the bottle of worthless stuff are all you get. A spare doughnut wheel, jack, and wheel brace were all things I bought for both of them. It is not in my interest to be stranded, retrieved, or held to ransom by a tyre manufacturer that does not even carry my tyre size. After a puncture, I did in fact use the spare doughnut wheel that I had bought for the A class. I'm really grateful that I had it on hand because getting a matching tyre was a two-day ordeal.

Awful, awful s****. 🤬. Should I invest in the right jack? I find that wheel brace to be quite useful. Superior quality.

Somebody has gotten their hands on your toolbox. An electric inflator, wheel braces, and a jack are all standard equipment on my E63s. I suggest you have one of these in your toolbox because the wheelbrace is subpar. There is also a plethora of options on eBay. No extras are available. The electric inflator and tyre sealant are to be utilised by us. In case of an unexpected situation, get up a few cans of tyreweld at Halfords.

So, I didn't get a spare, jack, or wheel brace with my new purchase. I have a question for the group: has anyone ever needed a jack and wheel brace for their vehicle? If so, have you purchased them? I feel like I'll regret not getting them and then I'll never use them if I do. Is anyone thinking about that?

My seatbelt is completely unbuckled, so I'll give this a go. Although I do have some WD40 Specialist Fast drying contact cleanser on hand, I believe it mostly serves to remove grime and not lubricate the surface as the silicone you suggested.

Much obliged. Amazon is delivering tomorrow, and I'm experiencing the same problem. Issue resolved in under a minute. 🤞

On my 2002 E53, I experienced issues with the belts not retracting. He couldn't believe it when he tested it on an M8s belt after finding an idea online; he was even more amazed when it worked on another belt. After you fully extend the belt and lightly spritz it with this, feed it in and out; it should begin to function. Your apparel will also remain unmarked.

Greetings, Gentlemen! The hand-operated seat belts are integrated into the seat in my 2018 4 Series convertible. Problem: The passenger side seat belt won't retract. Opening the unit is not working for me. Nothing has turned up, and I have searched high and low. None of the fasteners are there. How can I repair the malfunctioning front seat belt retractor? Can I open the seat all the way?

Salutations, Everyone! In my 2018 convertible 4 Series, the seat belts are built into the seat and are operated manually. Issue: The seat belt for the passenger side won't retract. How do I open the unit? I have looked everywhere but have come up empty-handed. There aren't any fasteners. The front seat belt retractor is broken; how can I fix it? Must I fully open the seat?
