BENZE220AMG

As previously stated on several occasions. OP, is there any indication of rodent presence or destruction? 👍

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.

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.

Yeah....on that, there is a topic that is quite similar. Discussion Board Topic: "Roadmap for Future Emissions Regulations"

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.

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...
