  1. Does anybody possess the bearing size for the aforementioned item, please?
  2. In the absence of a credible cam sensor signal, the DDE will not initiate injection. Have you verified via the sensor aperture that the cams are moving when the engine is activated?
  3. There is no need for the hostility. I do not question your expertise. I was unaware of the concerns, which is why I am asking these questions first. I have had the vehicle for little more than two years, have driven around 20,000 miles, and have maintained it meticulously; this is the first time it has requested AdBlue.
  4. Thank you, everyone. The text states that "you keep the tank full," however @BENZE220AMG advocates for the contrary. I was unaware of the complexities associated with using AdBlue.
  5. My 2014 C220 D has indicated that I need to replenish the AdBlue. My independent repair technician advised me to add 10 litres, which I have done, and the notice has now disappeared. I purchased an additional 10 litres, since internet sources said that the tank had a capacity of 25 litres. Costco offers an excellent pricing of around £12 for 10 litres. What is the remaining fuel level when the warning message appears? My vehicle lacks the capability to monitor the AdBlue level on the dashboard. I want to avoid overfilling and then dealing with AdBlue spillage that requires extensive cleanup. Assistance would be appreciated.
  6. A filter exists, but it is only accessible during a complete gearbox overhaul, since it is located deep inside, so it is not considered a service item. Each time, you get less than half the required oil; it took me six sump dumps to restore mine to pink on the six-speed gearbox. I would recommend against a power flush. A guy with a nine-speed bicycle claims he extracted an additional litre by elevating the front end during the emptying process. Additionally, check whether it is possible to reset the oil degradation counter. I performed the procedure in the six-speed using my diagnostic instrument, which confirms the presence of fresh oil. Apologies, I have not completed the 9-speed, so I am rather uncertain.
  7. Inexpensive alternative to circumvent it 😉 Obtain a pass and thereafter remove the tape; the issue is partially resolved.
  8. You will be able to observe. Simply cover the lights with tape and return it for retesting. You will be well.
  9. Is neither light functioning, or is it just one?
  10. I concur. Mazda implemented some intriguing external cost reductions throughout the grade range, except the Turbo S. No hockey stick LEDs for daytime running lights, absence of tail lights on the liftgate, and black "inline 6" emblems on the front fenders, among other features.
  11. I would want to learn how to activate just the white LED strips instead of using the headlights as daytime running lights.
  12. I purchased the Mazda hitch, harness, and delivery from My Mazda Part for a total of $600. The brake control harness would be more expensive than the brake/turn-signal version I purchased and would need a more complex installation process. I have completed the installation of the hitch, but I have not yet installed the harness. I completed the task alone in around 3 hours. I would not describe it as effortless. Installing the side panel sections was easy, however, the hitch is rather heavy and aligning it properly to avoid cross-threading the bolts is somewhat cumbersome. The factory hitch utilises pre-existing threaded holes on the frame. There is a YouTube video demonstrating the installation of the Curt hitch. The installation process involves using carriage bolts that need drilling holes in the frame.
  13. I shared the same notion. The garage has informed me that they are replacing the Nox sensor with a newer one that has a slightly different number. Unfortunately, an identical replacement is not available since these sensors are no longer being made. It seems that there is a faulty component. The only solution to address the second issue, which involves the lack of communication between the Nox sensors, is to replace the other Nox sensor. This entails additional expenditure and the replacement of a functional component. I no longer have faith that this second fix will cure the problem.
  14. It is uncommon to replace sensors in pairs, as you said. If I had been aware of that information before to the repair, I would not have proceeded with the task. Contrary to what I was informed, the issue was not resolved on the first attempt. Consequently, I am now required to bear the cost of replacing a fully functional sensor in order to rectify the problem. Therefore, I am required to make an additional payment to rectify the previous repair that I have already paid for. Additionally, if this course of action proves unsuccessful, it is quite likely that I will be compelled to undergo an emission upgrade, since I am uncertain if this will effectively resolve the issue. Subsequently, I shall be compelled to beseech that they endure.
  15. Indeed, I am certain. The issue is to Mercedes' lack of the accurate V5C document indicating that the automobile meets Euro 5 emissions standards. A V5C Corrections Documentation is required and a payment of £30 is necessary. Upon receiving the new documentation letter, I possess the capability to revise the ULEZ database.
  16. I want to retain my automobile for a further 3 years before upgrading to a petrol-powered vehicle. I have already remitted £700 to the garage, nevertheless the issue remains unresolved. Having to spend an additional £700 to address the first problem is not what I had anticipated. I sought the expertise of a specialist in Mercedes-Benz vehicles just to avoid the installation of the software update. The garage first promised to resolve the issue on the first attempt, but now they have said that it will be resolved on the following attempt. I remain unconvinced and anticipate that the issue will resurface, necessitating an ECU upgrade to rectify the functionality of the Nox sensors. What is the likelihood of me receiving a refund? I have already paid £700. Remapping the automobiles is the only viable solution since it is a prevalent issue with Adblue vehicles.

  18. A 100% discount is available for the purchase of an S63 coupe. A duration of 2-3 years with the existing one. I still have affection for my E350, but I am becoming weary of these Nox sensors.
  19. The check engine light illuminated, and my code reader indicated a malfunction with the Nox sensor. Considering that this is the fourth occurrence of such failures, I decided to have them rectified by paying for their deletion. All of these items were acquired and installed by Mercedes. I brought it to a Mercedes expert for repairs. I decided to fix it one last time before deleting them. A diagnostic was performed and the garage has ordered a Nox sensor to address the issue. Two days later, the engine light illuminated again, indicating the same problem as before, along with an extra error related to the Nox system. I returned the item for inspection and the garage informed me that the Nox sensor component is the latest version and they have discontinued production of the previous version. As per the garage's assessment, this indicates that the other Nox sensor is not establishing communication with the previous one, necessitating its replacement. The garage suggests that replacing the current Nox sensor with an updated version would resolve the issue and ensure correct functionality. This implies an increase in financial resources. I am uncertain on the course of action to take. Should I pursue a complete reimbursement for the maximum possible amount and have the undesirable content removed, or should I choose to pay an exorbitant sum to resolve the issue? I am concerned that these solutions may also be ineffective and thereafter attribute the issue on the ECU's lack of up-to-date status. I am quite frustrated with these Nox sensors. In addition to the extensive list of expenses, I have incurred a fine for driving inside a ULEZ zone despite my automobile being compliant with Euro 6 emissions standards. I own a 2014 E350 Bluetec coupe and I have not yet received the emissions update for my vehicle. I would appreciate if someone could provide me with guidance about this matter. What is the current status of my situation with the garage? We would highly value and be grateful for the time and effort you dedicate to assisting us.
  20. Connect a wire from a nearby fusebox, such as the one located outside the entrance pillar, using a piggy back fuse connection. There is no need to physically cut any wires.
  21. I experienced driving both a GR and an Excel, and I found that I favoured the somewhat more comfortable ride of the Excel. Purchased Excel 1.8 with additional features, which was priced below the 40k limit.
  22. I did not get a letter, although several individuals from the first generation have indicated that they did. Did any owners in gated communities get one? Is there a pre-facelift version available? I am curious whether this issue is limited to just DCT automobiles.
  23. The rate I pay at the one I use sometimes is £55 plus VAT, whereas Black_raven charges £350 per hour.
