  2. Numerous friction material deposits were present at the bottom of the pan; however, the mechanic who replaced my ATF and filter reported that the interior of the gearbox appeared pretty clean.
  3. The ATF level is accurate and has been verified. The mechanic who conducted the most recent inspection of the vehicle informed me that there is certainly an issue with the valve body, and it is quite probable that there is also deterioration in the clutch packs. This remains a possibility, as the vehicle has not undergone live data diagnostics; nonetheless, based on the symptoms, multiple individuals have indicated that repairing this gearbox may not be economically viable.
  4. The gearbox exhibited this issue prior to the fluid change. I utilised authentic Mercedes ATF and added a new genuine Mercedes connector plug. Transmission fluid was present within the previous plug. The gearbox pan utilised non-OEM bolts, and the drain bolt was stripped, indicating that an inexperienced individual had previously serviced the gearbox before my acquisition of the vehicle. I have possessed the vehicle for around one year.
  5. Greetings, I want counsel concerning the transmission of my E270 CDI. Below is a comprehensive account of the issue along with pertinent facts that may assist. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): WDB2110161A309273 Transmission: 722.640 (variant 04) The issue: When the gearbox is cold, the 1–2 upshift might be excessively abrupt and occurs prematurely, approximately at 1600–1700 RPM. However, when the gearbox reaches a temperature of approximately 80–90Β°C, I have a distinct issue between 2nd and 3rd gear. As the vehicle nears 2000 RPM, the RPM begins to increase autonomously, suggesting a potential loss of hydraulic pressure or slippage in the gearbox, even in the absence of further throttle application. The RPM experiences a little spike and varies for around 2 to 3 seconds until the gear ultimately engages. The gearbox is unable to maintain pressure or execute a seamless 2–3 shift until it "catches" and finalises the transition. The ATF was replaced 500 kilometres ago, along with a new filter and connecting plug. My enquiries: Should I disassemble the gearbox to examine the valve body or clutch packs, or is it more prudent to seek a quality used 722.640 unit? Which transmissions are compatible with my vehicle? Is my vehicle exclusively compatible with the 722.640 gearbox from the 2.7 CDI? Are transmissions from other engines (2.2 CDI, 3.2 CDI, petrol engines) compatible? If they are physically compatible, are they also electronically and hydraulically compatible? Any guidance or insights would be very valued. I appreciate your assistance in advance!
  6. It was successful on the third attempt. Upon removal and reinsertion of the fuse, it resets to 12 o'clock rather than resuming from its previous position (first attempt...). It accomplishes this by rotating the hands the longer distance from their previous position to 12 o'clock, rather than the shorter route. It surpasses 12 o'clock, reverting to approximately 10:45 before returning to 12 o'clock (third attempt...). It is now approximately one minute behind, but life is too brief, and I lack the motivation to address it.
  7. This vehicle lacks a mechanism to reset the clock via the instrument cluster; the only modifications available in the 'Settings' menu of the instrument cluster display are the digital speed display, odometer units (mph or kph), and language selection. The fuse is now blown, and my phone is programmed to alert me just prior to the need for replacement. I remain hopeful that it will succeed, as I perceive no rationale for its failure.
  8. I appreciate that. The owner's manual does not specify a manual setup technique; nonetheless, I will investigate further now that I am aware it is possible. Salutations. I am aware of the MOST connector box; I simply have not attended to it yet. It is not an issue.
  9. My imported 2007 ML63 is equipped with an aftermarket head unit, hence lacking the COMAND system or any other Mercedes head unit. The steering wheel controls are nonfunctional, perhaps due to the incompetence of the individual who fitted the head unit, which suggests that resetting the clock is also not feasible. The analogue clock functions properly and maintains accurate time; nevertheless, it is somewhat more than two hours slow. The clock is not independently fused, and unless the iCarsoft MB2 can reset it, which to my knowledge it cannot, the sole remedy I can propose is to remove the instrument cluster fuse (No. 11 in the dashboard fuse box) and rejoin it ten hours later at the time indicated on the clock. Does anyone possess alternative suggestions?
  10. Enquired about the kind of tires installed. Are the front and back identical? A six-hour round drive to watch; I am only attempting to organise some essential information that is significant to me. The response is "19" on both sides. The Mercedes-AMG E43 Premium Plus combines exciting AMG performance with superior luxury and cutting-edge technology. Equipped with a 3.0L V6 biturbo engine generating 400 horsepower, it offers exhilarating acceleration, precise handling, and an invigorating driving experience. Purchasing a vehicle in the current climate is very unpleasant.
  11. Does... 489 AIRMATIC DUAL CONTROL / SEMI-ACTIVE AIR SUSPENSION 99B ACTIVE ADJUSTABLE DAMPING "NORMALLY OPEN" ...does it imply the presence of complete air suspension?
  12. This is the specification of an E43 estate I like to examine; does it include air suspension?
  13. I am considering returning to an E-Class estate, namely the E43 or E400d. Do these models come with air suspension as normal, or is it included in a package? Is there a button on the dashboard or a feature in advertisements that indicates the presence of air conditioning? Advertisements have devolved into artificial nonsense, proclaiming that I may "Arrive in sophistication in this effortless Mercedes automobile adorned with wood grain accents and ambient illumination." What the fact? Inform me of the available options; you are selling me a vehicle, not a lifetime decision.
