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.

Thank goodness neither of them has made it to Devon just yet; luckily, I do have an A3 hybrid on hand just in case.

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.

As usual, if it sells at that price, then that's its worth. However, for that amount, you can have some very significant Mercedes with far more intriguing engines.

I am pleased to incorporate petrol additives every few months, but I have never been inclined to use oil additives. I prefer to buy a quality oil, specifically Castrol Edge, and replace it every six months rather than invest in that additive. However, if you have already filled to the maximum oil capacity, you will exceed the limit by 0.3 litres.

Acquired it; authentic MB NOS. The solution is effective!

which ones should I choose? I hope for the best...

While the car's Bluetooth works well with phones, the prior owner used a device that plugs into the car's 12V socket to create an FM signal for the radio to stream music. Not a very refined answer, but it gets the job done. On the other hand... After stepping outside into the light, I can make out what appears to be a media interface connection in the glove compartment. It's tucked away in the dark, towards the back of the vehicle, towards the center, and pointing downwards, so I can't see the contacts inside. However, I am at a loss as to what else it may be. If that's the case, then I can connect my USB stick and the correct cord to the head unit and play my music (he said with a glimmer of optimism).

The glove box and armrest are empty. Indeed, it meets all requirements.

I recently acquired a 2010 A207 (technically an E class convertible, but it's actually a C class...) equipped with an Audio 20 that has an integrated CD changer. Additionally, it has the Universal Communications Interface (Option 518), as stated on the LastVin datacard. Does it only work with Bluetooth, or can I also use it to play music from an SD card or USB stick? If the latter, where can I find the appropriate connector? It's not here; I've searched everywhere.

I had never had DDE done before, but I merely saw an ad for it on eBay when I had CAS copied.

Changing blades is a simple task. It is not necessary to change keys when cloning CAS. I sent both the original and replacement CAS off, and they simply copied the data over. After cloning, DDE, I thought it would be as easy as plugging it in.

When my f11 started loosing voltage at the terminals a few years ago, I thought it might be a cas problem. As a result, the sensor voltage codes were all low, and the crank wouldn't start. By connecting multiple power sources to the DDE via the JBE module, the CAS enables starting after the immobiliser is checked. Although I am not sure, I would think that there would be codes that indicate CAS has dropped. It could be wise to prepare the circuit diagrams and verify the terminal voltages of the power supply from CAS and JBE before proceeding with the control unit replacement and cloning. People with the right software can fix mileage issues if you do need to replace pieces.

A malfunctioning DDE that is unable to regulate the HPFP metering valve is the only remaining possible explanation. You have already replaced the fuel-related components (I wouldn't put my faith in EKP to fix it) and the HPFP twice, yet it continues to not produce any pressure even after mechanically twisting it.

Over the years, I've done it three or four times on each vehicle. Since my driveway is slanted, I level the car by driving it onto wheel ramps. Fuchs and one of those inexpensive transfer pumps from eBay have always made refilling a breeze. It’s such a cheap job as diy .

Just like I mentioned before, some tires provide a more comfortable ride. Learn as much as you can from this and the web You might also try lowering the pressure by one or two psi before you buy the tires. How are the shocks and suspension? I upgraded from 18s on my old E350 coupe to 19s on my new E400 coupe. Although I do agree that the ride is somewhat rougher, I had to replace the worn tyres with Hankooks because the original ones weren't very good. I give them a piss under the table.

Yours truly. My companion is coming along, and she has warned me not to miss what could be glaringly clear. His asking price is virtually exactly what a trader would pay, plus or minus £1,500 more than the research suggests for a tidy private sale. The dealer's estimate for fixing the arm ball joint is about £570; however, I will be able to shave at least £2,000 off that figure. Regarding the AA/RAC inspection, you are correct; I shall take that into consideration. Actually, it would be wise to have a professional Mercedes mechanic take a look at the vehicle. I had the RAC look into it and found someone with expertise in 280SLs in 2000, when I bought a 1983 model. They dispatched a guy who was clueless about these autos and had no prior expertise with them. In the end, a wealthy investment banker bought her after we had her for 23 years.

The E Class 2020 (January) with 47,000 miles on the odometer is a 2.0 E200 AMG Line Edition (Premium Plus), and I will be seeing it next week. In order to avoid spending a lot of money on a defective product, can somebody tell me what a layperson can look for? I have previously paid for a report detailing the vehicle's maintenance, inspections, previous owners, and more as part of my due diligence. The vehicle's service history is complete and confirmed by the dealer. The automobile looks great on the photos. Buying the car from a private party raises the stakes and makes me feel nervous. In addition, I have viewed a number of instructional videos on YouTube regarding the symptoms to watch out for, such as Cold Shift, The "Kickdown" Hesitation, Torque Converter Shudder, and the like. It seems like the present owner has just had the vehicle since January 2025. He is downsizing, which is his (seemingly youthful) rationale for selling. It seems like people have been looking at it since about the middle of last year, according to the report I bought from CarCheck. There was an advisory for a minor play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint during the last MOT (which was two months ago). Helpful suggestions are welcome.

Continue producing those gastronomic creations. 👍

Currently acquiring proficiency in utilising a Launch tool. Appears to be superior to my initial assessment. Initiate X431 CRP919X BT Elite Bi-Directional. I purchased it under the impression that it was an authentic UK market version. It appears that it is not, however it still looks capable of accessing the car modules and supplying extensive data.

Which engine? Which year?

I greatly appreciate it. Your expertise is consistently valued in this forum. You ought to possess your own part.

Thank you for your response. I anticipated that you would. I recognised that the codes were unrelated, yet I felt compelled to disclose them. It appears that I will be undertaking one of your rebuilds, which I find rather agreeable, to be candid. Any recommendations regarding which components to get would be much valued. This mini is too valuable to damage, and my objective is to maintain these minis in operational condition. It has only completed 80,000 kilometres.
