CLS X218 complete Airmatic standard elevation
xsports replied to Doncaster34's topic in General Car Chat
Great thread!was correct when they suggested moving to the hub center method. Tire profile and pressure always cloud the rim-to-arch reading, so it's worth comparing your new numbers instead. Your comfort to sport drop appears to be about correct for these vehicles, if that helps. In Sport, Airmatic lowers the front end by around 20 mm and the rear end by about 10 mm on the X218; these dimensions correspond to your 670 to 650 and 640 to 630 measurements, respectively. Therefore, nothing there shouts that something is amiss. What would actually reassure me is that the two sides read the same, 670/670 and 640/640. When the level sensors show that the airmatic is at the desired height, the struts and accumulator are evenly holding the pressure, which is why symmetric readings are important. A worn strut or a leaking accumulator would have caused one corner to sit 15 or 20 mm lower than the other. Put your worries about it drooping to rest; it appears to be level on yours. A few things to keep in mind so that other people's measurements are fair. No one else in the car, same tyre pressures, about the same amount of gas and on a flat, level surface. The readings obtained after a run and those taken after parking for some time might be slightly different because Airmatic adjusts the ride height depending on the vehicle's position. Even with the steel front, Cherrypd, your husband's rear air figure will serve as a good stand-in for the OP's Comfort rear, as both rears will self-level to their respective targets. True to what the OP stated, fronts will clash. -
As expected, I am grateful. Strange, though.

Hello Everyone The other day I observed that my 2024 Sportage GT Line's rear lights, particularly the inner ones, have acquired multiple fractures. Interestingly, there has been no damage to the body, therefore there has been no collision or anything like that. This happened to anyone else as well? If that's the case, could you please tell me what steps you've taken? Much obliged.

R53 2005 — communicating with any module, not even OBD
xsports replied to DenishP4's topic in General Car Chat
Verify that the x11 connector—which goes into the internal fuse box's base—is not rusted; otherwise, you will not be able to receive any signals. -
Individuals sought. Would you like an SL350 AMG or an SL400 AMG?
xsports replied to paulh2602601's topic in General Car Chat
Is it an authentic AMG 400? -
The second set of knobs for the back doors was just installed. Despite not being covered by warranty, the last pair was installed at no cost to the customer. They said it was a design flaw and repaired it when I reported it two years ago. That is plainly not the case.

The owner clearly knows what it's like to have unscrupulous individuals show up and take advantage of the car for sale. Lots of useful advice for anyone planning to sell autos in the future.

As long as you maintain the 6,000-mile service and change the oil and filter regularly, your vehicle will run like new.

On a budget? Just use 500, 1000, 1500, or 2000 grit sandpaper to smooth it off and cover the doors with BMW stripe M decals. For around £200-£250, which includes an electric pressure paint gun that connects to the wall outlet, you could spray wrap the entire thing if you're comfortable with that kind of thing. I get my spray wrap paint from a business called Matt-Pack, by the way. Go ahead and search "DIP YOUR CAR" on YouTube if you're feeling adventurous and want to see some spray wrapping. Spray wrapping is a relatively easy technique that I've been doing for a few years now. Once you have the equipment and are skilled at it, your friends will want you to change the colour of their motor.

It might be wise for you to contact NASA 😂. In my opinion, your issue is much above our area of competence 😂. -

You should probably start by contacting the dealer who installed it. -

On my 2002 E53, I experienced issues with the belts not retracting. He couldn't believe it when he tested it on an M8s belt after finding an idea online; he was even more amazed when it worked on another belt. After you fully extend the belt and lightly spritz it with this, feed it in and out; it should begin to function. Your apparel will also remain unmarked. -

The intended appearance and where to buy the paint are shown below. But if that doesn't work, there are many of excellent sites like www.madpaints.co.uk that just require your registration. -

You can find your build sticker in the spare tyre well. -
you may expect to have to go into the nitty-gritty of things if your autos start acting up. No one will know what to do first as owners. And I intend to join their ranks.. Now you could even appreciate our presence on the forum, I believe. A Mercedes from 2006 or later would be perfectly OK. Good luck! Just make sure it's compatible with E10 before you run it.

My current W124 is the second one I've had; the first was a one-owner [cousin] vehicle. The quality of the W123 was superior to that of my W124.This E10 ethanol fuel deadline in September is another item to consider at this time. This is going to wreak havoc on all these older vehicles, including Mercedes. The injection system has a lot of rubber components, and some of them may deteriorate and break down over time.They often behave in this manner after prolonged usage of E5 gasoline. Modern rubber is much more durable than the kind of rubber used in the 1980s.

Regarding your decision to buy a W123 as your primary vehicle. These vehicles are more than 40 years old, so keep that in mind first. That being said, the W 123 is undeniably a top-tier Mercedes-Benz. Some of the critical components, meanwhile, are becoming more elusive, so keep that in mind. Because certain goods are not available anymore, I would assume that you will have to take a break from driving at some point to wait for a part or another. However, if you are really set on purchasing a W123, it must be a pristine, one-owner vehicle with very few miles on the odometer. This is not your average W123. Any vintage Mercedes in this condition will fetch a pretty penny. Therefore, I will wish you well and hope that you pursue your passion.

It is surprising that you have not heard of them.
