  1. The response is much appreciated.Are there any potential answers?
  2. I am in possession of a 2010 Mercedes-Benz C250CGI whose engine has failed.Could I just swap in an engine from a 2010 C180 CGi? If so, would the engine have to be modified in any way? I would be very grateful for your opinion.
  3. Have you verified the voltage of the auxiliary battery located beneath the pollen filter? If it has not undergone alterations in the past five years, it is likely deteriorating.
  4. Now that it's closed for Sunday, I'll have to ask tomorrow. Even after searching through my vehicle's parts diagrams, I have not been able to locate it.
  5. Pardon me. A w205 facelift, that is. Using the part number only displays the baseplate and star. I have looked all over for the bracket that links the star to the distronic bracket, but I haven't found it anywhere. There is a circular bracket that the star base plate clips into, and that bracket slides into the mount that holds the distronic.
  6. Hello, I am in dire need of assistance in locating a retailer selling the component inside the outer red ring. The star/baseplate and the distronic bracket are joined by this particular bracket. Nowhere can I locate it on the list. It will fall off while driving at some point because the clips are broken. Online, all I can find is the star itself and the distronic bracket, but not the bracket that connects them. You have my utmost gratitude.
  7. As previously stated on several occasions. OP, is there any indication of rodent presence or destruction? 👍
  8. Have you utilised a verified functional battery? Uncertain about the definition of a "full repair" concerning a battery? Having remained dormant for more than two years, the battery may lack the capacity to retain charge and deliver sufficient current. Merely indicating an acceptable voltage does not guarantee its proper functionality; a comprehensive load test is required.

  10. Unless the penalties are hefty enough..... It will still be against the law, but they'll be able to enforce it with force. Based on the article in the first post making alterations to a vehicle, either by yourself or by someone else, that cause it to fail to meet the approved emissions criteria. The good news is that mystery shops are already busting shops that are making illegal mods, so this trend will only accelerate. Before I acquire a car, I want to make sure nobody has tampered with it unlawfully. It wasn't the finest source, but it was the first one I discovered, and there are more.
  11. Yeah....on that, there is a topic that is quite similar. Discussion Board Topic: "Roadmap for Future Emissions Regulations"
  12. Fantastically well-written and really easy to read; I usually skim lengthy postings at work due to a lack of motivation and time constraints, but this one drew me in so thoroughly that I finished reading it all. Having been in your position, I would have done the same thing. The new beast is so drastically different from the C63; I hope you take plenty of pictures and enjoy the ride.
  13. No, but the engine is top-notch and can achieve impressive fuel economy when needed.
  14. Hello everyone, I recently bought an E430 estate on a whim. The seller assured me that the exhaust still had its cats, but when I took it under the hood for the first time, I noticed a piece of pipe welded into the downpipe on both sides and a single O2 sensor located at the top. Looking on eBay, I saw that there are two types of exhaust for cars my age: one with one sensor and a cat halfway down the car, and another with two O2 sensors and two cats higher up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, because I'm beginning to wonder if the March inspection was actually a faulty CO2 test. Thank you ahead of time
