I successfully inspected the ECU. Is this the one I assume? According to Google's statement. All terminals and connections are devoid of moisture. There are peculiar blemishes on the rear insulation that first seemed to be oil but likely have been there from the beginning. Currently, I am patiently awaiting the repair of my gear shift mechanism.
-
I have not yet verified this, but I am curious to know whether oil would have an impact on an Engine Control Unit (ECU). Or how would it be? I have seen some electrical devices that are immersed in oil as a means of maintaining optimal temperature. I am not expressing disagreement, but rather expressing curiosity about how it impacts various aspects. Brake cleaner would likely be effective in removing the dirt or grime.

The gear lever unit is now undergoing testing and repair by the ECU specialists. I am awaiting their findings. Out of curiosity, I saw that the gear lever box is equipped with enlarged holes, presumably for the purpose of adjustability. What would be the appropriate procedure for setting it up? Thank you.

Thank you for responding. It is peculiar that when I was not touching anything and exiting a crossroads, the situation did not alter. Halting was an unfavourable decision, since it would not resume due to the mistaken belief that it was still engaged in a gear. Attempting the task again after removing the key proved beneficial. I own the iCar soft reader, but, it failed to detect any faults. Consequently, I resorted to using my previous Sealey reader, which successfully identified the defect. Currently, I am unable to take any action on it as the postman will be collecting the item imminently. There is a local Mercedes expert that attempted to fix my friend's car with the same issue but was unable to find a solution, therefore I will take on the task myself. There is a firm that specialises in repairing electronic control units (ECUs) and they are known for their efficient 2-day turnaround time. The defect you mentioned is one of the most often encountered issues they deal with. I will provide an update if it is successful. The task has been completed well, with a total of 194,000 units, therefore there is no reason for complaint.

I replaced the gearbox oil and installed a new strainer around 25,000 miles ago when my vehicle had reached 150,000 miles. I believe I have correctly identified the issue with my Mates E Class vehicle, as it had a similar malfunction and error number a few months ago. It was determined that the sensor located within the shift lever box was the cause of the problem. An unusual occurrence is the infiltration of gearbox grease into the ECU when one does internet research. The component responsible for gear shifting is now being sent to a business specialised in testing electronic control units (ECUs).

Indeed, I have located the little button responsible for disengaging the lever. However, after successfully doing this task, the Starter remains unresponsive due to its erroneous perception of being engaged in a gear. Additionally, the gear indicator light fails to provide any information. During the test, I received an error code indicating a problem with the Gearbox Range Sensor. The specific code is P0705. It seems to be prevalent on this particular iteration of Mercedes. Following a conflict, I have successfully detached the lever box together with its sensor and have subsequently located a business to do its repair. Although it will be expensive, I must give it a try. Thank you.

Could someone provide a clear explanation of the current situation, please? While driving, I reached an intersection. When I tried to accelerate, the automobile remained stuck in a very low gear. The indication was D, however it resembled more closely the first position. Upon reaching a tranquil section of the road, I brought the vehicle to a halt. However, the gearbox became immobilised, rendering me unable to restart it. I contacted the recovery service, but they informed me that it would take around three hours for them to arrive. Unexpectedly, I was able to start the process and for a duration of 30 seconds, the gears were unobstructed, but then became immobilised in first gear once again. I only operated the vehicle in first gear for a distance of just two miles till I reached my residence. I get that there is a switch located underneath the lever, since my acquaintance had a similar problem with his E Class few months ago. If someone could validate my thought process and direct me to locating this switch, I would really appreciate it. Am I allowed to buy and install this component as my friend's part was sent for repairs and cost about £200?

Assist in Enhancing the Appearance of My Mercedes!

Considering your budget of £40.00, it is important to note that you will not be able to get a significant amount of modifications. Consider examining a collection of metal door pins or even a sophisticated gear knob. Ensure that the vehicle remains clean and organised, and take pleasure in being its owner. What is the cost of insurance each trip? -
Extensively modified automobiles, such as those with engine swaps and significant body modifications, are not eligible to be classified as "historic" with the DVLA regardless of their age.

I also suggest platinum coverage.colinallcars efficiently handled my demands and proved to be a reliable partner.:) -
That is the one! Successfully located the original number of the vehicle, and it seems to be currently not in use on the road.

It has been a long time since I last visited this platform, but I am feeling a little melancholic about my old MPS. Has anybody observed it? The vehicle seems to have not been taxed or had a MOT for an extended period.

Indeed, that is precise. This automobile demonstrates remarkable fuel efficiency while driving on the highway.

Is it necessary to programme a vehicle battery?
Rudy7831 replied to BENZE220AMG's topic in General Car Chat
Please provide a more specific request or topic for me to update. I had my 2016 GLE 250d vehicle serviced recently. The start-stop feature, which had been non-functional for many years, has suddenly unexpectedly started operating. Consequently, I find it bothersome and have to manually deactivate it. The service provider coded the feature, but I did not inquire about the need or rationale behind this action. -
Is it necessary to programme a vehicle battery?
Rudy7831 replied to BENZE220AMG's topic in General Car Chat
Greetings. During my last service appointment with MB, I received advice that my main battery required replacement. However, considering my infrequent use of the vehicle, which mostly involves daily commutes with little mileage, I declined the offer to purchase a new battery for £425. After a year had passed, the automobile was stationary for many days due to our absence. During this period, I saw a noticeable delay in its performance. The vehicle was in a pristine condition upon acquisition around 7.5 years ago, with an odometer reading of over 21,000 kilometres. Consequently, I examined a battery offered by Halfords and another by Kiwikfit, the latter being around £10 less expensive and inclusive of installation services. Ultimately, I chose the Halfords battery, which was installed for a price just under £236. The object has a weight of around 25.6 kilogrammes, as estimated by the user. Due to its inconvenient placement, the user proceeded to open it in order to facilitate the provision of necessary resources and appropriately install them. I exercise caution and possess a desire to avoid the inconvenience of encountering a depleted battery in the future, particularly with the imminent arrival of colder weather. Given our intention to retain possession of the vehicle for a further six months, I deemed it the most prudent course of action. The factor that convinced me was the fact that Halfords batteries are manufactured by Varta. I am sharing this information because on numerous forums, these fast fit establishments are not held in high regard. To be honest, I do not hold my local MB in high regard either, although I always have my car serviced by them. During my last visit, they informed me that I needed a new rear wiper blade, when in reality, I was able to replace it myself for £10. They were charging £30 for unnecessary work, which I assume was an honest mistake. I will provide updates in the event of any issues. -
What are the anticipated performance outcomes for the CX-70?
Rudy7831 replied to WanderlustGuru's topic in General Car Chat
The CX-70 is anticipated to possess two notable attributes that contribute to its value: an inline 6 engine configuration and a rear wheel-based all wheel drive system. Alternatively, it is probable that I would own a CX-50. My desired preference is for a mid-sized, two-row version of the full-sized, three-row CX-90. Consider the relationship between the X5 and the X7, or the GV70 and the GV80. None of the vehicles mentioned need a ground clearance of 8.5 inches, nor are they designed for off-road use. The object in question is a lighter. -The breadth remains constant. -The length does not exceed around 192 inches. It is unlikely for anyone to accumulate substantial wealth by accurately forecasting Mazda's future actions. The absence of a mid-sized vehicle in Mazda's range since 2012, despite the introduction of a subcompact (CX-30), a second compact (CX-50 in addition to CX-5), and a second full-size (CX-90 alongside CX-9), has created a void. -
The application process is straightforward. The preparatory work is the crucial element. The surface must be thoroughly cleaned and devoid of any residual wax or other substances. After using a clay bar to remove contaminants, I proceeded to perform a meticulous application of a microfiber orbital polisher. Finally, I concluded the process by employing a panel wipe solution prior to the application of the desired substance. Building muscle mass, which is sometimes referred to as "buffing up," is an enjoyable aspect of physical fitness. It has a remarkable ability to resist both dirt and water.

I am determined to ensure that no other individuals have access to my vehicles. The aforementioned materials were provided to me for the purpose of conducting an experimental trial. Although it may not be the most costly option, the effectiveness of a product is contingent upon factors like as its application method and the number of coats applied. The eBay listing titled "9H MR FIX ORIGINAL- SUPER CERAMIC CAR COATING TV PRODUCTS" offers a ceramic car coating product known as 9H MR FIX ORIGINAL. This coating is advertised as having superior properties and is intended for use on automobiles.

Indeed, I own a 16-year-old automobile, and I encourage you to personally see its condition. Engaged in artistic and creative pursuits, reminiscent of the City & Guilds artistic tradition. The components encompassing the outside of an automobile, including the bodywork, wheels, and glass (except the windscreen), are of particular interest for analysis and examination. I have a strong affinity for the subject matter.
