  1. Greetings everyone, has anybody else had the opportunity to experience one of these? I tested it and tried it out today - quite satisfied! The increase is from 184 horsepower to 254 horsepower and from 290 Newton-meters to 436 Newton-meters. As a backdrop, my original intention was to purchase a 330i. However, I stumbled across a stunning 2021 320i with very low mileage at a favourable price. After learning that this particular model can be remapped effectively, I decided to go with the purchase. Upon conducting a thorough analysis, it has been determined that the remapping of the ECU is not successful due to its locked-down state. After doing more research, I proceeded to purchase the Bluespark box. With the exception of the need to break the MAP sensor in order to remove it, the installation process was straightforward. Pardon the dirty wheels, since the vehicle has just been exposed to rain. Some of you may comprehend the pun on the box 😉
  2. Are you referring to a device similar to the JB4? I own a single unit, and its performance is satisfactory. The installation process was straightforward, and I have not encountered any peculiar malfunctions or error codes. In my opinion, it is advisable to consider it worthwhile if you have additional aftermarket components fitted. It is often observed that JB4 units are available for purchase on FB Marketplace and other platforms, since they are compatible with all 4th generation turbo models.
  3. Greetings Visited the dealership today to inquire about upgrading our CX-9 to the 90 model. However, I noticed that the headrests on the second row seats excessively press my children's heads forward. There seems to be no available method to modify the angle, and the dealer said that some individuals have declined to proceed with the purchase due to this issue. Therefore, I would like to inquire whether anybody in this forum is aware of a solution. Various options that are suitable? Aside from that, I really enjoyed the automobile. Thank you for any recommendations.
  4. Certain dashcams are equipped with an internal battery that enables them to operate in parking mode.
  5. It is most logical to use this concept in metropolitan regions where there are several traffic signals and traffic congestion, resulting in a significant amount of immobile vehicles. While the concept may seem promising, it has little or no impact on fuel usage. According to the information shown on my wife's Mazda, we have conserved a total of 26 miles worth of diesel fuel over a span of 8 years and 80,000 miles by using the stop/start feature. Nevertheless, while strolling down a bustling urban street filled with the noxious emissions from petrol and diesel vehicles, one quickly yearns for everyone to use their stop-start systems as originally intended.
  6. Does it refer to fully depressing the pedal? Are there any other tasks that need to be completed during testing, such as disabling the air conditioning?
  7. I just purchased a 2021 CX30 2.5 skyactive with a powerful 195 horsepower engine, opting for the highest trim level available. The mileage of the vehicle is merely 9,000 km. In our nation, they only provide a naturally aspirated engine, without any turbocharging. I had high expectations for the acceleration of a 2.5-liter engine, even in the absence of a turbocharger. Upon investigation, I found that the automobile has sluggish acceleration and bears a striking resemblance to my 2011 Hyundai Accent, with a horsepower of 125. How is it possible? Utterly dissatisfied. It is possible that the engine is still in its early stages of development and not fully operational yet. It is often believed that some engines need a minimum of 15,000 km of use before they reach their optimal performance level.
  8. A Mercedes-Benz AMG with low mileage and a value of £100,000 requires replacement shocks after a period of 5 years. It is advisable to consider disposing of the vehicle due to this issue.
  9. Fortunately, they replaced it free of charge. My issue has been resolved. The sensor was changed once again by an independent garage, and now it is functioning properly. Were you required to remunerate MB for the diagnostic price in order for them to examine the sensor?
  10. I had already sent an electronic message to this address one month ago, elucidating the circumstances, but, I have not yet gotten a response. A member of the Mercedes Facebook group advised me to follow a certain course of action, but he neglected to provide me with the email address due to his forgetfulness. Consequently, I resorted to doing an online search and subsequently sent the email. I anticipate receiving a response to my inquiry.
  11. Thank you for your response. May I get the contact information for Mercedes in the UK, please? Did you communicate by telephone or email?
  12. I own a 2017 Eclass 220d that has been driven for a total of 75000 kilometres. I hail from Wolverhampton, located on the Birmingham side. A few weeks ago, I experienced the illumination of the engine management light in my vehicle. I promptly sought the services of an independent Mercedes expert located in Birmingham. The garage informed me that there is a malfunction with the upstream NOx sensor and it has to be replaced. The garage replaced the nox sensor with a genuine Mercedes part and cost me a total of £800. However, the EML (Engine Malfunction Light) reappeared after driving for a distance of 70 miles. Returned it to the same garage. The garage informed me that there was a new software update, so they proceeded to upgrade the software. However, the same problem with the upstream NOx sensor reoccurred. Upon reevaluation, the garage informed me that they would schedule an appointment for me at a Mercedes garage. I specifically requested them to inspect the sensor, since it is a recently installed component. After a period of two weeks, the Mercedes garage was unable to schedule an appointment for me, consistently providing excuses. Eventually, the garage contacted me and informed me that Mercedes had instructed them to do a fresh software update. As a result, I returned my vehicle to the same garage. The software was upgraded by the garage. Once again, the upstream NOx sensor failure light has reappeared, indicating a streak of unfortunate luck. Currently, I am uncertain about the course of action I should take. Is anybody experiencing the same problem? I had been contemplating scheduling an appointment independently with my nearby Mercedes facility; however, they are imposing a fee of £178 only for diagnostic services. However, I am already aware of the error code. Will I be billed £178 just for the purpose of establishing a connection with the equipment, or may I provide them with the trouble code beforehand? Therefore, they may simply inspect the upstream sensor and wiring. This is my first Mercedes, and it is a diesel vehicle, therefore my knowledge of it is limited. Fault code: (P300651--The Nox sensor 1, located in cylinder bank 1, is experiencing a problem. Thank you.
  13. johnmayerrr might also be a valid explanation - in the absence of pressure in the cooling system, the temperature will not rise to the required 104C to trigger the activation of the low speed fan. However, it will reach its boiling point at 100 degrees Celsius.
  14. The occurrence of cooling fan failure at low speeds is prevalent across all age groups, regardless of whether the fans have two plugs or one plug. I had presumed that both had the resistor, as shown by the presence of a protrusion in the fan housing. If just the low speed function has stopped working, the most likely cause is a malfunctioning resistor. However, it is also possible that the relay is responsible, although the resistor is often the component that becomes damaged. However, this eBay advertisement seems to display a relay located inside the fan housing, which might perhaps be the source of your failure.

  15. I am uncertain about the specific method you are applying, but the optimal course of action is to replace the resistor. This option is cost-effective and will restore the automobile to its original functionality.
  16. Is there a specific component number associated with this solenoid? It is possible that the one I have replaced is located in the drive train tunnel. There are two solenoids that redirect the heat to either side of the cabin.
  17. Upon your comment, I revisited my VCDC code and saw that mine indicates an open circuit instead of a short circuit, which is often the issue encountered by those who have changed the valve (based on my observation). I have scheduled an appointment for an electrical diagnostic at a garage in April, upon my return to the country. Hopefully, the issue is something trivial, such as a faulty connection on the socket causing an open circuit. Wiring problems are very undesirable since they might result in significant financial losses.
  18. In the absence of air conditioning, the temperature should transition from chilly to warm, rather than being too hot. I feel that the G395 error pertains to the sensor, which may be changed. However, the heat regulating valve fault is distinct from the AC sensor issue, in my opinion.
  19. I am aware that there are several discussions on this topic, but my problem has some unique aspects. I installed a new High Control Valve (HCV) above the drive shaft of the automobile. Despite resetting the system, the fault code has reappeared and I am still experiencing a consistent flow of hot air regardless of the temperature setting on my climate control. The switch is functioning well since I just installed a new climate control module in the vehicle. When I turn the dial, I can perceive a noticeable increase in temperature. However, even when set to the lowest setting, warm air is still being emitted. The increasing temperatures are becoming quite bothersome, especially after lengthy drives when the automobile becomes extremely hot. Is there a fuse that I am overlooking for the valve? After resetting the issue, I conducted an individual test on the N175 valve using VCDS, and the fault reappeared. Has anybody else had this problem or can anyone provide any advice?
  20. Update: The Scosche PassPORT Car Charging Adapter is available with two different production dates, which are indicated on the packaging. Both models have the same model number and very similar appearance, making it difficult to distinguish between the two. Ensure that the adapter you are buying is from 2009. A forum user on rr.net reported that an adapter from 2008 would not charge his iPhone.
