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.

Rear suspension problems in the 2010 S212 E350 Estate
Black_raven replied to DreamCatcher88's topic in General Car Chat
Encountered a vexing problem with my equipment, which was ultimately identified as a leaking pipe, in addition to a leaking compressor and a questionable airbag. The pipe had eroded at the point of contact with the bodywork next to the compressor. A little clip is included that effectively ensures contact. It seemed that debris had infiltrated the space between the pipe and the clip/bodywork, gradually causing wear. It was undetectable even with specialised leak detection equipment. My frustration in attempting to inspect the pipes inadvertently exacerbated the leak to a noticeable extent. -

ABS malfunction, codes for both front wheel velocity sensors
Black_raven replied to KOOLCAR's topic in General Car Chat
This is primarily indicative of malfunctioning reluctor rings or another factor causing inaccurate wheel speed readings, such as a disparity in wheel or tire diameter. Illumination upon key-on without motion indicates a circuit or component malfunction, while awaiting wheel rotation suggests improbable data. -

Neither the Canadian nor the American trims include motorized folding mirrors. -
Removal of the turbocharger from the W204 OM651 engine

Regrettably, I am unable to assist; I would recommend YouTube tutorials as the most viable option. -
Outstanding performance! Delightful vehicle! 🙂👍

No necessity...the vehicle will resolve it after a few kilometers.

12.45 volts indicates around 80% charge, suggesting potential for improvement. The voltage must be measured around thirty minutes after the engine is turned down; otherwise, it may register inaccurately high. Avoid being misled by this. It is simple to verify the alternator's output by measuring the battery voltage when the engine is operational; it should range from 13.5 to 14.7 volts. Any value below this requires further investigation.

If the individual desires its return, it will be sent back to you.

Engine RPM problem and diagnostic tool malfunction
Black_raven replied to Black_raven's topic in General Car Chat
I would want to provide an update here. In accordance with the recommendations provided, I have acquired an MB Icarsoft V2 reader. It seems to provide somewhat more functionality than I want, however I may consider using other features now that I own it. Nonetheless, I was able to read the problem codes, unlike the two inexpensive alternatives I had previously acquired. While I could have interpreted the error codes, there were none available for analysis. No errors are evident, which is advantageous in one regard, however it leaves me no closer to resolving my problem. I acquired MAF sensor cleaner and subsequently detached the sensor for cleaning. Reinsert it, and the issues persisted. I then acquired a new MAF sensor (Hella Air Mass Meter HELLA Air Mass Meter | GSF Car Parts). Less expensive alternatives existed, some much more affordable. Nonetheless, whether justified or not, I maintain that one often receives commensurate value for their expenditure; hence, I selected a more costly option. The installation has been completed, and the vehicle has returned to its usual functioning state. It now exceeds 3000rpm when stationary and accelerates as it once did; also, the kickdown functionality has been restored. I achieved 40 miles per gallon on a 60-mile journey that did not include motorways or dual carriageways. I am uncertain if that is advantageous or detrimental for a 2001 E320 W210. Nevertheless, I was enough pleased with it. I would want to ascertain if this aligns with expectations or the miles per gallon others experience. It will be intriguing to see if the new MAF sensor impacts the miles per gallon. I will provide an additional report when I have undertaken a comparable travel. Thank you. -
Engine RPM problem and diagnostic tool malfunction
Black_raven replied to Black_raven's topic in General Car Chat
That is excellent. Thank you for the counsel. I shall endeavour to get one of them and assess my progress. I will provide updates here as I resolve the issue, so my experiences may assist anyone facing similar challenges in the future. -
Engine RPM problem and diagnostic tool malfunction
Black_raven replied to Black_raven's topic in General Car Chat
Ah, I understand. Do you have any recommendations? -
Good evening, everyone. I am a newcomer, therefore I kindly need your understanding. I apologies if the concerns I provide have been already addressed. I own a 2001 E320 Avantgarde (W210). The vehicle has just ceased to accelerate appropriately; the kickdown feature is inoperative, and the engine will not exceed 3000 RPM. I gathered from a post I saw here that it is probable the MAF sensor is the issue. I have ordered a cleaning to test; if it proves ineffective, I will replace the sensor to see whether that resolves the problem. Could you kindly verify if I am proceeding correctly? Occasionally, it attempts to regain functionality, often after first startup, but only momentarily before reverting to restricted acceleration and RPM. The second problem pertains to my acquisition of a RICOKEY Car OBD2 Scanner Universal Wired Auto Engine Fault Code Reader CAN Diagnostic Scan Tool V309. Nevertheless, regardless of my efforts, I am unable to establish a connection with or get data from the vehicle. I suspected that the scanner I had acquired was incompatible, so I got a MOTOPOWER MP69033 OBD2 Scanner Universal Car Engine Fault Code Reader. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Z3HB7DR?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1 Regrettably, the same problem has arisen, and it fails to connect or read the vehicle. I adhered to the directions by activating the ignition, choosing the option to read codes, and each time the reader attempts to establish a connection. Nonetheless, it consistently displays a warning instructing to wait 10 seconds before attempting again. The port is functional, since the technician at the nearby garage used a rudimentary reader to successfully get the codes earlier. I believed I could get a reader to avoid delivering it to him, but I must be making an error, or the devices I have acquired are incompatible. Any assistance or guidance would be much appreciated.

Over the years, we have had many automobiles with rather perplexing specifications. Following a model year alteration or facelift, producers may possess some pre-alteration/facelift models that are registered subsequent to the first changed/facelift models. As a model is phased out, manufacturers may build late runs that lack significant advertising, resulting in vehicles with specifications that vary significantly from those shown in brochures—either via additions or omissions. It might pertain to trim or alloys, but it may also include technological elements like as reversing cameras or suspension systems. Vehicles manufactured in the post-Covid era may lack certain characteristics or choices. When studying a vehicle, use caution about journalists' assertions about specifications, since the automobiles provided for test drives at launch in Europe may differ from those ultimately offered in the UK market.
