Greetings everyone, I will get beneath it today or tomorrow; I haven't had the opportunity yet. That awful phone call happened on Friday night. That terrifying One. Things have been somewhat chaotic for the past several days since my brother-in-law discovered my brother's body at home. Once I've been under there, I'll upload images of what I find. Best regards

I will review the suggestions tomorrow and get back to you all with my findings.

I will do my best to explain this because my search on the boards has only turned up information regarding engine mounts, which I'm sure has nothing to do with what's going on here. The mileage on my 2012 C220 CDI AMG Sport, a W204, is 101,000. It cost me 79k when I got it four years ago. A clogged DPF, an injector that needed replacing, and a ruptured copper brake line in the back are just a few of the issues it has encountered. Everything is OK now, but ever since I got it, I've observed that the clutch pedal and gear knob tremble rather loudly if you really push the pedal to the floor and shift into the next gear. While this has happened a few times since ownership, the most recent occurrence was on the return trip after an 80-odd mile excursion a few weeks ago. The ride was completely uneventful, and the vibrations continued throughout the journey. It vibrates and makes a deep, metallic grinding sound at rest and throughout the rev range. The possibility that the flywheel has fallen was mentioned to me by someone. Really, all I'm asking is for some suggestions. With a young family and recently being laid off, money is tight and I don't know what to do. Is anyone else familiar with this? My first post here is a request for guidance, so please forgive me in advance. Thank you.

In the Middlesex and Hayes areas, I suggest BMW Remapping. nonetheless, it is located in suburban London.

I traded in my old automobile for a C-Class with 25 plates. I went to the Mercedes website and paid £42 for a 4-year, 2-moth maintenance package. A representative from Mercedes's Swindon office called three days after I received the email stating that the dealer will be in touch to verify my bank information and the plan. The woman who called me was confident it was legitimate since she read me all of my personal information and used my current mileage VIn number. An email outlining the entire strategy and the due date arrived in my inbox shortly after the call.

Additionally, I normally keep this high beam setting disabled where I live because it blinds individuals strolling down the road.

Every time I go to a certain place, my high lights go out and blind everybody else on the road, even if there isn't a car just ahead of me. Having learned this, the next time I drive through that area, I will off the automatic high beam feature. In my opinion, the radar and/or camera are being obscured because the area is located near the valley floor, where it flattens out. Thus, it is undeniably imperfect. The majority of the time, nevertheless, it serves its intended purpose. Having the high lights turned on is unnecessary when you're in a densely populated region. You can't expect to outdrive low-beam headlights unless you're travelling at highway speeds.

There isn't much, but it's a decent, dependable (albeit somewhat noisy) engine 🤐

Low compression in two neighboring cylinders is a telltale sign of a blown head gasket, which is typically located at the narrowest point and can be detected using a compression test. When the engine is turned off, a pressure gauge attached to the cooling system will reveal whether or not the system keeps the pressure. In the event that it doesn't, a leak may be present, potentially affecting the cylinder head. To gauge the internal pressure, squeeze the top hose of the radiator. To release the pressure, take the radiator cap off (with the engine turned off), replace it, start the engine, and rev it up. The head gasket has blown if the pressure is built up too rapidly; normally, it should do so gently as the engine warms up. The gadget can detect exhaust gases in the cooling system if you bring the vehicle to a MOT testing site and request that an exhaust gas analyzer be lowered into the expansion bottle, but above the coolant level.

The person who posted the question clearly does not appear to have much expertise car-spanking, but I love it when they complete a major task like this. So, nicely done!

Great work and congratulations!

Similar to DB's post up there, I checked mine out this morning and found that it is nothing more than an open cutout:wallbash: nothing fitted.

Wow, the blue one from Pompey was really good! Can you think of a USB port on the armrest that might work? My best guess is that you've already searched the most obvious spot—the glove box. With the 'Media Interface' on my 2012 E350, I could play music from my iPod classic via Comand. You may find it in my E400 as well.

😁

MyCarsoft is capable of handling that.

Would you like to hire a mobile DPF guy to come to your house or place of business, or do you intend to perform it yourself? Even though I don't know how much they cost, I have seen several of them on YouTube. I am genuinely interested in knowing how often DIY projects succeed compared to those that are handled by professionals.

Regrettably, they bear the blame! Have the Insurance Ombudsman look into it!

Were you referring to the response you got from a certified insurance repair shop? Notify the insurance carrier if the fault was not there before.

As bad as it is in places you can see, it might be much worse in places you can't. Given the amount of trouble it would cause to fix if necessary, I would personally pass on it.

Unfortunately, I did not have much time to investigate the problems today. I was given forty minutes. Very strangely, I spent the majority of that time attempting to identify continuity on K-CAN [Green and Orange Green twisted pairs], yet all of my attempts appeared to be open circuit. Finally, I went ahead and purchased a set of four things on eBay: CAS, DDE, Key, and Instruments. Expected arrival dates are Wednesday through Friday. I will attempt additional continuity checks when I have the time, but this week is really hectic. No visible indicators of damage were found when checking the CAS. I removed the screws from the DDE, but I was unable to remove the cover. Fearing harm, I replaced the screws. After cloning, it should function properly since DDE solely relies on the CAS for handshake and start enabling signals. I was wondering if anyone might suggest a cloning company.

Please tell me that the lock does not contain any coding information in the event that I decide to proceed with the CAS/DDE swap out/clone method. Thank you. Instead of changing the locks on the doors and glovebox, I could just use the manual blade key and insert it into the donor set's keychain.

I appreciate that, but for now it's more of a hit-and-miss than a strategy for success. After I found the K-CAN wiring diagrams, I was planning to inspect the bus to determine whether the CAS was causing it to be dragged down and, consequently, the communication codes. Whether the CAS could intervene with the DDE to halt the pressure buildup was something I pondered. Upon matching immobiliser codes, my understanding is that the CAS sends the start enable signal to the DDE; however, I am unsure of the symptoms. I was wondering if it would be best to simply get a full set of CAS, DDE, lock, and key in order to verify the fault has been resolved, before sending both modules for cloning, so that I can preserve the VIN, mileage, etc. Another option is to simply obtain the DDE and replicate it. Time is of the essence; I need the automobile by next week's end; hence, I may have to settle for purchasing the set and cloning it when I have more time. By the way, have you heard anything about the possibility of reducing the donor's mileage? Like I mentioned before, I'd like to maintain accurate mileage records, and I'm worried that I won't be able to adjust the settings from a higher-mileage vehicle to my lower-mileage one if I borrow a set.
