  1. White smoke emanating from the exhaust indicates that the engine is consuming oil. Piston rings are deteriorated.
  2. The year of your B Class is uncertain, but assuming the parts diagrams are accurate, the B200 CDI indeed possesses an engine-to-body grounding strap (W246 version): Component number 250 is located here:
  3. Disabling the odometer display function using the diagnostic tool is erroneous due to my inadvertent selection of the incorrect menu option in English. I committed this error, resulting in my two little screens illuminating orange without providing any further information. I lack a reprogramming tool, so I am unable to restart the function.
  4. https://www.google.com/search?q=mercedes+inertia+switch&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGB968GB968&oq=mercedes+inertia+swi&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgAEAAYgAQyBwgAEAAYgAQyBggBEEUYOTIICAIQABgWGB4yCAgDEAAYFhgeMg0IBBAAGIYDGIAEGIoFMg0IBRAAGIYDGIAEGIoFMg0IBhAAGIYDGIAEGIoFMgcIBxAAGO8FMgoICBAAGIAEGKIEMgoICRAAGIAEGKIE0gEKMTE0MjBqMGoxNagCCLACAfEFMjX_jwp0t0M&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
  5. As far as I am aware The engine can initiate operation with the airbag indicators illuminated. It must be connected to diagnostics to eliminate conjecture.
  6. Winter tires or all-season tires are necessary to prevent crabbing. I installed XL tires on my GLC; a significant error. I refrain from fully locking the vehicle on cooler mornings. I will either install crossclimate tires or adapt to the current situation. Unable to assist with the ticking.
  7. What a dramatic individual; consider that this is the type of person who frequently expresses themselves on Facebook neighbourhood pages.
  8. It is advisable to inspect all o-rings and seals on the turbo outlet (aluminium pipe) leading to the resonator (plastic box at the front of the engine) and the intercooler. I believe your 2010 model possesses the same or a very similar engine as my 2009 E280. I recently completed all my maintenance, and the performance has significantly improved; it drives much better than before. I previously underestimated its condition, but I now recognise how slow the throttle response and downshifts were. Several of these seals may have been compromised during the installation of the new intake, which is how I realised mine need replacement, as I subsequently experienced a check engine light owing to multiple leaks, including a boost leak at the intercooler pipe. I wanted to bring this to your attention, although you may already be aware. Here is a highly beneficial link that I utilised.
  9. Simply open the door, position your knee between it and the car body to prevent it from closing, and softly yet firmly apply pressure on the top corner. Repeat this process until the door is sufficiently aligned to be flush. You will be astonished by its ease of bending. It must be positioned slightly deeper than anticipated to achieve a minimal spring action and exert sufficient pressure against the seal to prevent weather infiltration.
  10. The doors appear to be slightly warped. My 5 Series experienced this issue when I locked the keys inside, necessitating the RAC to forcibly gain entry. They pried that component to connect their wires and unlock the vehicle, requiring me to subsequently bend it back into place. Has anything of that nature occurred?...or even an attempted burglary? This presumes that the door was securely closed when the photograph was taken, of course.
  11. On drowsy mornings, I have received the 'time for a break' notification as I depart the driveway. 😂
  12. It is located in "Other marques"; I have just examined it.
  13. As I recall from the installation on my W211, it necessitated utilising STAR to inform the vehicle that it no longer possessed a COMAND unit (i.e., configured to Audio20 or a comparable system). The menus were reorganised to make the clock setting accessible in the dashboard cluster, instead of being configured using COMAND. To connect the steering wheel controls, an interface box is required to facilitate communication between the steering wheel and the head unit.
  14. My 2013 204 was equipped with the identical M274 engine as yours (albeit in a 1.6 variant) and experienced a fuel leak in the flexible hose connecting the rigid underbody fuel line to the High Pressure Fuel pump located at the rear of the engine. Upon replacement, the garage observed a modified component number for the hose and clip. The odour of fuel in my automobile was distinctly perceptible beneath the hood and via the air vents into the interior.
  15. Congratulations on your new vehicle. Kindly provide numerous photographs upon receipt. It would be intriguing to learn about these. 🙂👍 Additionally.
  16. Exquisite! Autotrader and this platform, undoubtedly? To get an accurate valuation, it is essential to provide commentary on the service history. I possess no knowledge on these matters; nevertheless, I am aware that well-maintained tiny convertibles with a favourable past tend to sell rapidly, often to those under 30. (The wife has owned many Mx5 vehicles.) Others here possess more knowledge on SLK price. There are a distinct set of individuals that possess a strong affinity for yellow automobiles.
