  1. Since I'm not an expert, I figured I'd search up "check your battery health." If everything seems fine, then disconnect and reconnect, and drive around for about three minutes. AI recommended the above, but you should also try the other things, the ones you can handle on your own. If you still need help, you can always wait for an expert to respond to your question. Just a personal recommendation: after setting it up and driving it, check the battery health. Just make sure the lights are still on, okay? Regarding AI - tread carefully Due to the loss of calibration data and communication memory by the vehicle's computer modules, numerous dashboard warning lights will remain illuminated in a Mercedes-Benz B-Class when the battery is fully disconnected or drained. Because the modules have already recorded "low voltage" fault codes that need to be cleared or reset, removing the battery again will not resolve the issue. numbers 1 through 3 Here are the steps to turn off the lights: 1. Adjust the steering wheel by resetting the angle sensors. A common cause of the power steering, anti-lock brakes, and electronic stability program lights remaining on is when the steering angle sensor forgets where you were. Recalibration is a simple DIY project: [1, 2]. Get the engine going and keep it there in Park or Neutral. Press the lock while fully angling the steering wheel to the left. Once you reach the lock, turn the wheel to the right until it stops. Turn off the engine, center the wheel, wait 30 seconds, and then start the car again. It is expected that the traction and steering lights will go out. [1] 2. Go for a Quick Drive in the Car In order to readjust parameters such as tyre pressure and wheel speed sensors, modern Mercedes vehicles necessitate a short driving cycle. Maintain a safe driving pace for ten to fifteen minutes. The computer will automatically turn off many of the remaining yellow warning lights once it detects consistent data from all wheels and the engine reaches operating temperature. numbers 1 through 3 Step 3: Remove Stored Error Codes The Check Engine and SRS (airbag) lights will not be able to self-clear if they are left on. After two months of sitting, the voltage drops so low that the car's memory stores "undervoltage" errors. numbers 1–4 An OBD-II diagnostic scanner, which you or a mechanic will have to plug into the port beneath the dashboard, is required. Get some piece of mind by running a comprehensive health scan, recording the codes, and then selecting Clear/Erase Fault Memory. 1 and 2 4. Get the Battery Checked After two months of total discharge, a car battery can develop sulfation, a condition in which it can maintain a surface charge but die under load. This damage is permanent and affects the battery's internal components. Even if your alternator is in good working order, the dashboard lights will keep coming on if your battery isn't able to keep a constant charge. A free battery and alternator load test is available at most local auto parts stores and garages. numbers 1 through 3 Also, keep in mind that a tiny Auxiliary Battery (usually found in the footwell or dashboard area) is standard on many B-Class models. If the primary battery died, the backup battery is probably dead too, and you'll keep seeing the "Battery Visit Workshop" message until you replace it. Are the lights red or yellow? That should help narrow it down [1, 2]. You can help me identify the system that is malfunctioning by telling me which warning lights are still lit, such as ABS, Engine, or Battery. [1]
  2. However, my 2018 Kia Niro is equipped with a slot for an SD card, indicating that it must exclusively accept updates through an SD card rather than a USB drive, correct? It is equipped with a USB port, which I utilise for Apple CarPlay and similar functionalities. Indeed, I am utilising the Kia software for the purposes of formatting and updating the SD card. I have attempted multiple times, yet the vehicle still fails to recognise the card.
  3. If it is not an external leakage, then it must be occurring internally. Did you conduct a pressure test while the engine was hot and operational? Did you intend to refer to a cylinder pressure assessment? Is the oil level rising? Conduct a pressure examination of the cooling system, particularly the cap.
  4. These days, it seems to be related to the angle of the windscreen, and treatments that make the dashboard shiny don't help. Just like you, a mat resolved the issue on my 2018 stonic, which was the first time it happened to me.
  5. I take it he left the old valves in place? Why not give the rest button, which is located next to the volume knob, a go?
  6. No, I'm not on Facebook. Is it safe to assume that it is a balanced contribution outlining the benefits of EVs for the majority of people if it is very logical?
  7. The sensor malfunction arises because the RPM momentarily stabilises for approximately half a second, leading to a rapid temperature increase. I do not believe that the sensor itself is inherently the issue. I sense that there remains an issue with the TCU post-reconstruction, despite the gearbox functioning flawlessly otherwise. It occurs solely in the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th gears. Upon aggressive acceleration, as the engine attains elevated RPM levels just prior to the anticipated shift, it enters limp mode. I am contemplating whether there may still be a problem with the TCU or its internal sensors, rather than the sensor itself.
  8. Greetings to all, I am seeking assistance regarding an issue I am experiencing with my vehicle, as I find myself utterly at a standstill. I encountered a problem with the gearbox, displaying fault code P073E00, which is evidently a recognised issue. The gearbox was overhauled to rectify the issue, and subsequently, all functions resumed flawlessly. The gearbox lubricant was replenished in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, and the gearbox calibration was performed promptly thereafter. Nonetheless, as I entered the motorway to evaluate the vehicle, I accelerated aggressively during the merge. I observed that when the engine attained approximately 4,000 RPM, it ceased to rev and the vehicle abruptly entered limp mode. It appears to retain approximately 90% of its efficacy, yet the problem is distinctly apparent. It is peculiar that the vehicle operates flawlessly in all other respects. The gearbox operates seamlessly, and there are no issues during standard driving. If I turn off the vehicle and then restart it, all functions return to normal and the car operates flawlessly once more. Nonetheless, if this occurs repeatedly, the engine management light (EML) will ultimately illuminate. I examined the vehicle and the diagnostic code displayed is P054496, which pertains to the temperature sensor 1 within the exhaust system. I originally suspected that this sensor could be the source of the issue, thus I substituted the sensor. Regrettably, the issue persists. I am contemplating whether P054496 is genuinely responsible for the limp mode, or if there might be an alternative underlying problem triggering this fault code. Has anyone encountered a comparable issue, specifically a vehicle that enters limp mode at approximately 4,000 RPM with fault code P054496? Any suggestions or insights would be immensely valued, as I find myself utterly perplexed by this issue at present. I appreciate your assistance in advance! 🙏
  9. Salutations everyone. Seeking a 2015 or 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL400 or SL350 AMG that meets my needs. Good example with low mileage and FSH available at a nice budget. Notify me if you are considering selling yours. I am grateful.
  10. It sounds so simple when you put it that way! I will return to the garage to get it removed once I receive a response from Pirtek.
  11. I apologise if this is a really basic issue, but I'm not sure how to specify the hose and its fittings. Is the standard available someplace, or do they need to view the car—which is leaking terribly and I shouldn't be driving—?
  12. Hi This morning, I heard a terrible screech from the wheel. The power steering pipes—two sections—that connect the pump to the steering box and the one that attaches beneath the alternator were promptly identified by a local handyman as requiring replacement. Having severe leaks! I think the SL shop can assist with the metal one (A1294603324), but they don't have the rubber one (A1294662681), as far as I'm informed. Do you have any suggestions about where I should take this? I simply drive the dang thing; I simply do not possess the necessary technical knowledge or comprehension. Someone complimented the car's appearance only yesterday, and now I'm slightly freaking out. I am thankful.
  13. Refresher on this subject. Ultimately, I decided not to purchase it. It turns out that one suspension airbag and compressor was changed last year, but the NSR bag wasn't. Perhaps an airline was involved; he did offer to take £250 off! The images were, shall we say, flattering, and it was down on its haunches at the NSR. With that in mind, I opted not to take a chance on it due to its bad state and the lack of proof of oil seals being done. To be honest, I couldn't see any indicators, but you can't get under them to inspect. I'm sure there will be others.
  14. Thank goodness neither of them has made it to Devon just yet; luckily, I do have an A3 hybrid on hand just in case.
  15. I just realised it was poor form to include this in my welcome message; I apologise. The purchase of a 2010 W212 E350CDI estate is almost complete. See the specification sheet down below. Because this is my first MB, I was wondering whether the specs were OK or if there was something plainly lacking. Looking over the several postings, it appears to have decent equipment.
