BENZE220AMG

No, but the engine is top-notch and can achieve impressive fuel economy when needed.

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

Even with a single adjustment, I've experienced compatibility concerns with Aerosus. Required the complementary one on the opposite side. Ultimately cost more than buying one authentic one separately would have. That was a lesson for me 😉

Were they using an Aerosus knockoff or the real deal?

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.

How long has the car been on the market? Placing oil in the expansion tank is a typical tactic for would-be purchasers looking to lowball sellers.

The problem is:If a bush is "excessively worn" (Category 5.3.4.a.i) or if there are substantial fluid leakage that could cause harm to people or the environment, it is classified as a major defect. I don't think it is; I think it will be an advisory. I've been informed that there is no bleeding, play, or excessive fluid leakage. Over time, I will discover the answer...

So far, nothing has been done for me. Wayne Gates just completed the service and inspection on the vehicle, and they noticed the problem. Two months from now is when the MoT test is due, so I will put it in and see if it passes then. Assuming the bush rubber is in good shape and does not have any play, it should pass the MoT Tester's Manual. In that case, I suppose it's time to give it a little TLC...

Car number 164 is an ML63 AMG. Even though there is no play in either of them, the hydro-bushes in the back of the vehicle are leaking from the front and rear of the vehicle. These suspension arms are same across the board on the W164s; however, the AMG models are the only ones with hydro-bushes, while the rest of the models utilise solid rubber or metal components, meaning that an arm from a different version will fit on the 63. The arm is fastened to the bush and mounting casting using a single big bolt that passes through the center. If your vehicle isn't an AMG, you can easily find aftermarket replacement bushes from a number of manufacturers. One option is an exceptionally affordable Chinese set that includes all the bushes for both arms, but I'm not interested in that. Autodoc sells two for £150, however I haven't compared the reviews of Ridex, Esen, Metzger, Sidem, RTS, ALTE, or Spidan to determine which brand is better. Also, I haven't looked into how much a pair from Mercedes would cost. Unfortunately, MB does not sell only the bushes, and no aftermarket vendor offers them, perhaps because to the low production numbers of AMGs. Therefore, a set of new arms is the sole option for replacement; £1300 to you, squire (I'm not sure whether that amount includes VAT...). :oops: :oops: Just a couple of the regular, non-AMG bushes would have sufficed; I don't see how hydro- or solid-rubber would have made much of a difference in such a tiny bush. Who here thinks this is a poor plan?

Salutations, I appreciate you providing that information. I am contemplating purchasing a 2017 CLS 220AMG Line Premium, but while reviewing the vehicle's MOT history, it indicates that there were advisories during the last inspection. My main issue is the subframe rust, which is not structurally unsafe. Other than that, it is a motor with a full MB service history and 49000 miles, and it has just one owner. I would greatly appreciate any input you have. My warmest regards Thank you.

An indication of overnight current drain is 11 volts on a brand-new battery. The voltage should be higher now. Although EML can be triggered by low voltage, it typically turns off after three driving cycles.

It seems like you're experiencing a significant drain on current. You installed a new battery; why? Perhaps hiring an auto electrician is the way to go.

😉

Given that, one may wonder why it hasn't sold yet. Are we looking at "optimistic" pricing? Just a few months after purchasing it in January of last year, the current owner is attempting to sell it. If you want to be sure you don't miss anything, I recommend taking a reliable companion with you when you watch it. You can either walk away (there are always other used cars for sale) or think about getting an AA/RAC examination before you buy it if you're still not sure whether it's right.
