The valve body and mechatronics need repair. The solenoids may be defective, or the valves may be deteriorated, resulting in insufficient hydraulic pressure to engage the gears. The electronics may be defective. Early DSG/S-Tronic transmissions are subpar. Turning off the engine and then restarting it resets the transmission's electronics, prompting it to attempt functionality again. The problem you are encountering is the transmission's mechanism for mitigating damage, intended only to enable you to reach a secure area for repairs. In the USA, purchasing a brand new gearbox for around $7000 USD is more economical than hiring a professional for repairs. In nations with lower labour costs, one may locate professionals who repair and replace mechatronics.

It is intriguing; why implement a filter in an inaccessible location? I will continue to replace the oil till it flows clean after one week. The vehicle operates seamlessly with each oil change, suggesting that the previous owner likely neglected this maintenance task. Thank you for your response.

Greetings to everyone I have performed an oil change on my 2016 Evoque 2-liter automatic gearbox. The car has a mileage of just 38,521 kilometres. The gears were sometimes retaining too much tension. In the context of watching YouTube, I saw that no filter was updated, prompting my inquiry: Is there a filter that requires replacement? I am enquiring since the oil was dark when I discarded it. It operated for three days, after which the oil was drained again and remained equally dark. Should I continue flushing to get clean oil in the gearbox? I have heard that a gearbox pressure flush is possible, but according to my research, it may lead to complications. All comments are welcome.

The alarm is activated at unpredictable intervals.

Fortunately, you do not reside in close proximity to me, as I would likely rectify the situation for you in a permanent manner. 🤣🤣 -
There is no need to remove any bulbs. Activate the recording function on your phone's camera and see if the light ceases to emit illumination.

What is the reason for my automobile not having this?
KOOLCAR replied to BENZE220AMG's topic in General Car Chat
As far as I know, it was included only with COMAND Online (NTG 5.5). The automobile I own from 2019, specifically the Premium model rather than the Premium Plus model, is equipped with a touchpad. -
Are you experiencing any problems with your tires?
KOOLCAR replied to colinallcars's topic in General Car Chat
Either replace the sealing washers or opt for a more comprehensive solution by replacing the whole valve. In my experience, the task of removing the tires and the TPMS, as well as asking a fitter to just change the washers, is likely beyond their capabilities. I want the ability to install tires at my residence. Acquiring a collection of valves does not need a large amount of money; just ensure that you get the valves with the appropriate frequency. -
Are you experiencing any problems with your tires?
KOOLCAR replied to colinallcars's topic in General Car Chat
A single run flat tire would not impact the performance of the other tires. It is advisable to have tires that match on each axle. If the sensors are still displaying pressure readings, it seems improbable that they are losing air, given their relatively recent age. The valves are equipped with replaceable sealing washers. Have you seen any decrease in air pressure in the other tires? Prior to doing any maintenance on your vehicle, it is essential for a tire shop to enquire with you. It is advisable to avoid tracking until you see uneven tire wear. -
I highly recommend using VCDS from Ross-Tech.

To identify any problems in the car's Electronic Control Units (ECUs), you will need to use VCDS or a comparable diagnostic equipment. Speculation will not assist you.

Durability of Generation 2 Magnetic Ride Suspension

The leakage of mine began at around 50,000 units. I eliminated them and opted for KW with a cancellation kit. -
Comparison between GR Sport Ride and Excel
KOOLCAR replied to EnchantedScribe's topic in General Car Chat
I had two 405 saloons, which may be described as go-karts that go exactly where you steer them, with the odd lifting of the inner rear tyre during playful cornering. -
Comparison between GR Sport Ride and Excel
KOOLCAR replied to EnchantedScribe's topic in General Car Chat
I did not do any formal testing on the Excel's handling. Instead, I just drove it home to see if it could fit into the garage, which it successfully did. I found the 1.8 hybrid to be too loud and lacking in energy, hence I decided to get a 2 litre hybrid instead. The C-HR has remarkable agility, mostly down to the utilisation of the TNGA platform and the exceptional rear suspension. Consequently, it demonstrates superb handling capabilities, comparable to those of a Peugeot 405. -
Comparison between GR Sport Ride and Excel
KOOLCAR replied to EnchantedScribe's topic in General Car Chat
The Excel model will provide a somewhat more comfortable ride - I first test drove an Excel model before placing an order for my GR Sport. For what it's worth, both of them provided a far smoother ride compared to my previous 308 T9 hatch, which had a normal suspension. -

The GR Sport suspension on these mk 1 C-HR models is somewhat firmer than that of the Excel variant. Additionally, GR Sport incorporates modifications to the steering system. The soundproofing is same in both specifications. -
Discovered it Apply a layer of chromium on the surface. In my perspective, it seems unimpressive. I wanted a film that is transparent and distinct.

I am unable to locate it.

I have previously completed the task. It was unattractive. Utter disaster. I prefer not to pursue that course of action again.

Greetings, everyone. Purchased the c200 for my spouse. The vehicle she had before was a black XC60. The outer door handle cups were heavily damaged as a result of her wedding band. Being black makes it more apparent. The Mercedes is silver, which makes it less conspicuous, yet I want to safeguard it. Could you kindly suggest any goods or films that you have personally tried and found to be successful? Attempted to do a search on Google, however, the results provided were only generic options that have been criticised by individuals for being incompatible with their vehicles, excluding Mercedes models.

I would classify your automobile as an AMG Line model, which has a superficial resemblance to the authentic AMG variation. Are you certain that you have installed the AMG reduced springs that you mentioned? To verify the specifications, enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into a decoding website like mbepc.net. I installed Bilstein coil-overs on my C270cdi, which already had the factory-installed Sports lowered suspension. The ride was enhanced, becoming more regulated, smoother, and less prone to bouncing and excessive rebound. If you want to purchase non-OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts, I would suggest acquiring the corresponding springs and shocks.
