During the time when I had a r230 with ABC, I recall coming across a page online that outlined the specific criteria for testing faulty accumulators, pumps, and other components. Apologies, but I am unable to recall the specific website. However, if you are able to locate it, it may assist you in diagnosing any potential issues.

Truly, there is no need for concern if the problem was just momentary. If the issue pertains to navigation, it might perhaps be a first sign of a malfunctioning GNSS antenna. However, it is my belief that the cellular antenna is not as susceptible to failure. On a cellular phone, any accessible network may be used for emergency calls. However, is this SOS alert specifically referring to the connection between the cellular antenna and the mobile base emergency call server? I am uncertain, but as far as I understand, the accident-related data is sent to the MB server rather than being immediately relayed to the emergency contact centre. The phone call itself may function OK, but the crash data and other related information will not be sent across a "foreign" cellular network. If a 2019 automobile is experiencing a cellular coverage difficulty, the Mercedes Me services it has should also stop functioning. Test this. Regrettably, I no longer possess the means to get the latest technical bulletins due to their exorbitant cost. However, there have been several recalls, and it is my belief that a software update sent wirelessly should have resolved any issues for a 2019 vehicle.

Is it safe to assume that you are referring about the MY 2019 E300 Coupe?

Based on my inference, it seems that your battery is malfunctioning or no longer functional.

The current version seems to have undergone improvements since my last observation. Notably, it now includes the inclusion of electrical wiring and oil leaks, which were previously omitted for reasons unknown to me. In my humble opinion, there should be no exceptions save for service-related problems and instances when the owner's carelessness or refusal to adhere to maintenance regulations is the cause of the failure.

You may be under the impression that "MB approved used" indicates that the automobile will undergo comprehensive preparation and any defects will be addressed prior to your receipt of the vehicle. Based on several postings on this platform throughout the years, it is evident that assuming anything is not advisable. The automobile requires an inspection and the service history must be verified. You should examine it as if you were purchasing it from an individual seller. There have been several reports of "approved used" cars being inadequately prepared in the past. I suggest retaining possession of your current vehicle and then selling it via private means if you are satisfied with the new automobile. This approach ensures that you will have a vehicle at your disposal in the event that you decide to decline the new one. I recommend accessing the internet and familiarising yourself with the terms and conditions of the MB extended warranty. This warranty is essentially an insurance policy that is offered by a third party. Ensure that you carefully review the list of goods that are specifically prohibited. Upon my examination, I found the extensive list of excluded items to be very unexpected and notably distinct from other high-quality warranties for pre-owned vehicles.

Retrieve real-time data from all the air conditioning and temperature sensors installed in the automobile. If you come across very low, high, or unrealistic figures, here is the area to investigate. I saw a decrease in air conditioning pressure, which was later determined to be caused by a leak in the condenser. As a result, the fan consistently activates after a 10-second interval. A friend of mine who owns an E250 recently had a similar issue, like yours. The problem turned out to be a damaged or frayed cable for one of the temperature sensors, albeit it was not located directly next to the sensor. However, the defect was identified using real-time data analysis, rather than relying on fault codes.

There is a coolant leak in the W204 C250.

To identify potential water pump issues, it is advisable to inspect two often seen areas for any indications of water leakage or the presence of water residue. Specifically, pay attention to the top pulley on the engine, since this is where the water pump is located. The fuel filter housing is located behind the fuel filter, deep down below the pipes at the intake manifold on the engine. Look for accumulations of water around the black plastic underneath. -
Please include information on the power source you intend to use for operating the charger.Yes, a 240 volt power source is required.However, you claim that you are unable to run wires down the floor.Does the wall have a 240v socket? If it does, then this will provide the answer to my query. Furthermore, may I inquire about the specific year of manufacture of your Mercedes? What is the C43 AMG?

However, it is important to grade them according to the Maximum Gross Weight (MGW), which, if I recall correctly, is 3050 kg for the W447 model...

Use this platform to interactively visualise clearances and other related data. Calculator for fitting alloy wheels and tyres. Offset, Tyre Stretch, and Speedometer Error: Can they be compatible? I must express my astonishment at the fact that an E Class wheel has a weight rating that is deemed appropriate for a Vito. This is somewhat unexpected, either Vito vehicles are constructed with a notably lightweight design or E Classes are exceptionally hefty.

Eliminate, one of the most poorly designed automobiles in terms of geometry.

Verify that the level sensor(s) remain connected and intact.

Challenging situation with the upstream Nox sensor.
BENZE220AMG replied to WhisperingWillow's topic in General Car Chat
Multiple codes exist for NOx sensors. After undergoing two sensor replacements by MB, the first time being fully covered and the second time with a £1k payment, I became frustrated with the inconvenience and opted to have the code erased. After a few years, a different code emerged. I erased it using my On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) reader, but it reappeared after a month. After persisting in this behaviour for many months, it ceased to bother me. After a period of 18 months, a sense of déjà vu occurred. That occurred more than a year ago and there have been no such occurrences since then. (By the way, this information pertains to the M276 V6 petrol engine.) -

I initiated contact by sending an email to [email protected] They called me again and we resumed our conversation at that location. The individual with whom I interacted was quite accommodating. -

In order for the Mercedes dealership to take any action, you must pay them for their investigation charge, even though they will likely reach the same conclusion that you have already reached. However, when the defect is documented in their system, they may input the information into the MB UK computer system to see whether it can be fixed with a significant payment from MB as a gesture of goodwill. There is a substantial probability that "the computer says no". Subsequently, you have the option to personally reach out to MB UK, if desired, along with the physical defect report obtained from the dealership. You can then articulate that you have come across several accounts of NOx sensors being changed at no cost due to their acknowledged problematic nature. Based on the service history of your automobile, it is probable that they will provide either full or partial payment. When my vehicle became 7 years old, I had the sensors changed. MB UK provided a contribution of £1100 towards the cost. However, this occurred after they had been substituted with a new focus at around 18 months and almost 4 years of age. Within a span of less than three years, the same problem code resurfaced once again. I opted to avoid the inconvenience and purchased an inexpensive code reader to nullify the code. It was mentioned a few times in the following months, but eventually stopped attempting to grab my attention. Approximately one year later, I had the same procedure. One significant distinction for me is that my automobile runs on fuel, which means it relies less on receiving accurate information from the sensors. It may not be feasible to 'convince' the ECU to cease its persistent reminders. Additionally, it is unlikely that it will emit significant amounts of NOx. Best wishes. -
Tyre repair kits for do-it-yourself (DIY) use.
BENZE220AMG replied to VVC-Geeza's topic in General Car Chat
Convenient timing, since a buddy encountered a pothole earlier and I was uncertain whether to fix the damage myself or seek assistance from the AA. This prompts the inquiry: what are the advantages and disadvantages of doing a do-it-yourself repair on a tyre that supports one corner of a 1.5 kg automobile, covering a distance of 8,000 miles, while driving at speeds up to the maximum legal limit?
