  1. 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.
  2. 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.

  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. The rate I pay at the one I use sometimes is £55 plus VAT, whereas Black_raven charges £350 per hour.
  10. However, they lack perforations. There is a little amount of surface rust. Beauty-enhancing. As al_kaholic mentions, there are several components both under the hood and underneath the car that exhibit surface rust.
  11. My device has had the same issue. Permit a little amount of time for off-road activities. To support the hatch, it is necessary to utilise a sweeping brush, since a single strut is insufficient to bear the weight. I completed each task individually. Separate the strut and remove the bracket. Upon observation, one will notice the presence of a slender gasket positioned between the bracket and the body. I created a new one using a slender sheet of plastic. Unless you are able to remove the old gasket without causing any damage. A thorough massage. I applied a rust inhibitor to the affected area. The object was coated with Halfords Satin black paint after being prepared and applied with precision. Baked in the oven. The gasket and body were coated with waterproof grease throughout the refitting process. I have completed one side and still need to complete the other half since winter has taken over.
  12. I often react to similar cars, but just for brief, rapid bursts. I often engage in track activities, which satisfy my strong need to race in a secure and regulated setting.
  13. You will want the codes for analysis, since there might be several factors contributing to the issue. Playing darts without codes is ineffective
  14. The described symptoms are indicative of a malfunctioning electrical conductor plate in the gearbox, particularly in older models. However, it is important to note that the vehicle is still covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Therefore, it is advisable to have the dealer address and resolve the issue. Error codes will be present. Are you planning to take it to an authorised dealership?
  15. Considering your mileage and the imminent sale of the vehicle, I would advise you to refrain from worrying about the warm/cold oil change and to avoid squandering your money by leaving the tranny unattended. There is uncertainty over the extent to which it warrants an oil change.
  16. The primary merchant will have a strong affinity for you.
  17. Greetings, I have just replaced the actuator on my passenger door. The emergency key for the MY2018 model is located inside the driver's door. I additionally used Parts Link 24. A wide variety of part numbers may be found. It is crucial to have the appropriate component for your automobile, whether it is equipped with keyless entry or keyless start. Similar to you, I procured the component from an eBay parts source and they verified its authenticity.I was informed that my VIN was incorrect for my year's component number. Nevertheless, I took the risk and placed an order for it, subsequently comparing it to the one on the vehicle. The sole distinction pertained to the inclusion of an additional connection for the emergency key. Therefore...I proceeded to install it and it works flawlessly.Please ensure that the internal handle cable and exterior handle cable are connected in accordance with the current configuration, while leaving the other cable unattached.
  18. I am aware that what you are saying is not true; it does not relate to the performance.
  19. Apologies for my mistake. The vehicle in question was a 2017 model, not a 2018 model. This is the correct information. https://johnscottiluxuryprestige.com/en/inventory/used/audi-r8-2017/1265 However, I have reconsidered my decision and now want to postpone purchasing a two-seater vehicle for an additional year.
  20. Greetings, I am contemplating the purchase of a 2018 R8. Is a mileage of 32,000 miles considered too high? Most likely subjected to vigorous use. What is the level of reliability of the subject in question? Is 2018 more dependable than 2017? Thank you.
  21. If the vehicle's diagnostic codes have not been identified, it is likely that difficulties such as low coolant temperature and EGR problems are preventing a regeneration process, especially after short journeys without extended driving. It is crucial to have the vehicle's statistics reviewed and examined to address these concerns.
  22. Add diesel particulate filter cleaner to the tank, take an extended drive to test its effectiveness, and ensure you have thorough diagnostic testing.
  23. My fuel efficiency is low due to the presence of several hills in my area. The mileage you achieve may vary depending on the terrain you are driving on.
