  1. Mercedes had an AMG platinum event recently, coinciding with my C63s servicing and MOT.I requested a test drive of the C63 SE, and they complied. The automobile is quite amazing.Highly advanced technology, remarkable acceleration, and a comfortable ride on the 20-inch wheels. I would choose the estate. Currently, they are offering advantageous prices on the models. Upon re-entering my C63s, it seemed diminutive. Disadvantage.Even in sport/race mode, the engine and exhaust are subdued, and the four-wheel drive diminishes its intensity.
  2. I modified it, nevertheless the issue persists. This problem occurs only during short journeys, never while the vehicle is at full temperature, nor during the first cold start; it only arises after a brief excursion followed by a period of parking.
  3. Hello everyone, I have own this Mercedes V-Class W638 for some time; but, in recent months, it has been experiencing sporadic starting issues that no garage has been able to solve. Commence in the mornings It never fails me; nevertheless, after a brief drive and subsequent parking for a while, when I return to start it again... It turns over but fails to start. If I wait around thirty minutes and attempt again, it starts immediately. I have replaced the O-rings on the fuel pressure regulator. The crankshaft position sensor Fuel filtration device O-rings on high-pressure gasoline pump I replaced the injectors and cam sensor a few years ago, so I doubt the cam sensor could have malfunctioned that soon. Has anybody else encountered this issue? I would appreciate any guidance you could provide. Thank you
  4. If I were spending my own money, I would withdraw, since the missing or delayed service constitutes a significant red flag.
  5. In my experience, driving at standard highway speeds does not significantly elevate the temperature of the battery pack beyond a few degrees. Battery pre-conditioning is often necessary to achieve optimal DC charging rates. If the pack is at ideal temperature, the battery warmer remains inactive. For the pack to exceed 20°C in summer, the external temperature must be between 25°C and 30°C. Without the application of battery heating, the battery will ultimately warm up; but, due to the charging curve, you will forfeit the optimal charging times, which occur while the State of Charge is below 55-60%. Subsequently, the speed decreases to 80% and further diminishes if the charge exceeds 90%.
  6. Although not the least expensive. Halfords should have a battery or another automotive supplier in proximity to your location. Particularly those who provide services to nearby garages.
  7. If the automobile is unlocked, the 12V side is operational. If the drive battery falls below 20%, the Battery Management System (BMS) will not activate to replenish the 12V system. If you leave the vehicle unlocked for any duration, activate utility mode to ensure the 12V system is charged by the driving battery. To be honest. If you have had a few instances with a depleted battery. It is time to replace it with a fresh one. As a unit, they have been depleted, potentially causing battery damage, and frigid temperatures are detrimental. To assess battery drain, use a BM2 or BM6 Bluetooth battery monitor, which will provide an indication of any depletion. An example of the battery meter on my e-Niro was last used on Saturday, January 4th. Remained snowbound till just today, January 6th. The 12V side saw a significant dip until the BMS restored it on 05-01. Subsequently, it declined once again overnight owing to frigid temperatures.

  10. Many equipped with Xdrive seem to be integrated into a single unit. I will reassess later once I have tidied our garden, which is cluttered with remnants of what was once a lean-to greenhouse, after the severe winds (it still windy today).
  11. It is possible that later 2.2 vehicles were equipped with a diesel particulate filter.
  12. It does not possess a 'cat' per se, as I have previously read, but rather a spark suppressor mechanism. Can someone currently living verify this? 🤔
  13. My Mondeo consistently exhibited low emissions; initially, I recorded 1.43 and 1.11 on two separate occasions. Subsequently, I disabled the EGR valve and removed the catalytic converter, resulting in a reading of 0.33 on the first rev. All of this was accomplished at the same motor station.
  14. Greetings! I have enumerated many concerns with my CX70 PHEV on this site, indicating that it is not without flaws. Nonetheless, I still consider it to be an excellent vehicle! I like operating in electric vehicle mode. It is quiet and reactive. Sport mode really excels. Eventually, the seats became less rigid, and the vehicle proved to be rather pleasant. Avoid excessive prejudice. Individuals will document what is ineffective. It is uncommon to encounter individuals who write to express that everything is satisfactory. Many of the concerns described here and elsewhere are irritations to varying extents but are not dealbreakers. Certain components of the vehicle are superior when produced by other manufacturers, whereas Mazda excels in the production of certain elements. In what ways does your CX70 fail to meet your expectations?
  15. Are you aware of the component number? I enquire since we sought W124 differential filler and drain bolts and observed eBay listings priced at almost 30€. My kid purchased them from MB for around €3 apiece after applying his discount. Worth a try.
  16. Contact your Mercedes Dealer, the closest Mercedes Service Centre, or Mercedes Benz Mobilo roadside assistance at 00800 1777 7777. Mercedes Support is clearly not the direction you should pursue.
  17. Is it the component for securing the shock bottom mount? If that is the case, there should be two. Are both present? 60nm comes to mind for them.
  18. That is really incredulous and may I have the audacity to request any further information on it! Experiencing a malfunction with the speed sensor on the right rear wheel... I am wondering whether the battery is the cause of the problem. Or is it at least exacerbating my troubles?
  19. Greetings After briefly examining my battery, I am perplexed to see that it has the code. The pole is marked with the number 24.10. Does this imply that my battery has been in use for a duration of 14 years... I am cognisant of the fact that it has been many years, but... 14 years??
  20. Is your warranty still valid? Within a span of 2 years, my 2021 CX 30 vehicle's battery consistently provided low battery alarms whenever I left the doors open, such as when I vacuumed the car or made 3 trips with the hatch open. We were quite frustrated when camping since we were unable to unload the vehicle due to the warning. The dealer maintained that it was within the expected range of behaviour. I vehemently asserted that such was not the case. They contended that it was due to the cold and within the expected range. The winters in San Diego can be quite harsh, with temperatures dropping as low as 50 degrees Fahrenheit. I may have had some discomfort in my eyes due to excessive eye-rolling in response to this statement. After persistently expressing dissatisfaction for a year, they finally replaced it free of charge as per the guarantee, and I have not encountered any further notifications after then. Even after camping for two consecutive days, the hatch remained open and closed without any issues. especially in the freezing temperatures of 0 degrees Fahrenheit, the car can start without any issues, especially in mountainous regions.
  21. To ensure optimal service, it is advisable to locate a reputable and autonomous expert in VAG vehicles, while avoiding official dealerships. Please provide the location where you are now located, and someone in this forum may be able to provide a recommendation.
